Matek VTX-1G3 bit.ly/3nWSGWT
Matek VRX-1G3 bit.ly/3mJjs5V
We use 5.8GHz to transmit FPV video feed not because it's the best or offers the best range. We do it because it's convenient and legal almost everywhere. The price is limited range and need to use relatively high power output. This is why Long Range FPV prefers 1.2GHz FPV. Lower frequency, more penetration, much longer range!
The problem with 1.2GHz is hardware (and legality). Big and bulky transmitters and even bigger and bulkier receivers. It's hard to do anything without a ground station. Matek might have hit the spot with new 1.2GHz hardware. It's called Matek 1G3 VTX and 1G3 VRX.
What's so special about it? Video transmitter is small, video receiver is small as well, and it's compatible with Fat Shark modules! Just can just put it in your FPV goggles or Dock-King based ground station! a
I got the information that hardware should be available in the second half of November 2019!

His random comments followed by "never mind" cracks me up. Love this channel.
thank you Pawel for making this video, cheers
I still use my old lawmate receivers. Thanks for the vid/info
Because they are best
This is great, Now all we need is someone to make a diversity vrx for 1.2ghz
There are instructions somewhere online on how to make a Diversity 1.2Ghz Vrx switcher module. I found that It lowers video quality slightly but with less drop outs, Its kind of a big setup compared to 5.8ghz. I personally only use 1.2ghz diversity on a more dedicated ground station.
It will be great to have goggle freedom for my 1.3 planes, plus I like the extra insurance, as even with a groundstation things can go wrong.
I just hope they assign 1258mHz as one of the frequencies, and it has good front end selectivity and sensitivity.
The door on my HD3's does not fit with the Matek 1.2G VRX. Just mentioning so you're informed.
Finally! I knew getting googles with a module bay would be worth it in the future! Putting these on my shopping list. And can't wait for the competition to follow in their footsteps. Then a custom firmware like Pirx... I'm getting ahead of myself now. ;)
there is one receiver for fatsharks, from fatshark - nexwave 1g3, quite old, but works
It has been discontinued unfortunately
@@pedrofdmp I know, I am excited to see smth new in this range after 10 years of nothing
I use this combo since june of 2019, but without Matek logo and additional PCBs.
Here's the link: www.banggood.com/1_2G-8CH-700mW-AV-Analogue-Siginal-Transmission-FPV-System-Transmitter-Receiver-Combo-p-1272467.html
VTX is called SM130T, VRX is SM137R, both from ShenZhen Sunflytek company.
Link to manufacturer's page: www.sunflytek.cn/plus/list.php?tid=43
All Matek did is just put VTX and VRX on their own PCBs which include BECs, buttons, etc.
What's nice about this transmitters is their cost. It's only 8$ if you buy 10 pcs at once directly from the manufacturer (sunflytek.en.alibaba.com)
As regards range, I easily got 30 km with nice and clean image using 4-element Yagi on RX side.
Purchased this based on tour experience with it. Fingers crossed
Pretty interesting, Pawel! 😃
Looks like a great system!!!
If Matek wants this system to sell it must work with Crossfire. Normally we run 1.3ghz receivers on ground stations. This is to get the 1.3ghz receiver away from the 900mhz transmitter. The old Nextwave 1.3ghz goggle receiver got noise from 900mhz transmitters over 250mw.
Can't wait for the side by side comparison with 5.8ghz
1.2-1.3G smashes 5.8. I've been out 35kms with my wings and still 100% rssi on crossfire and Video. I could never get more than 5-6kms on 1000mW 5.8..
Great, I use 1280mhz all the time, way better than 5.8g....Works alongside the 868mhz R9MM reciever and of course UHF too...Your video frequency should always be higher than your control frequency...but not dividable by it...So, 2.4G control is not a good idea.
Would this work with 900 megahertz r9mm
@@jimmytheriot8978 yes. We use 915mhz crossfire in Australia and no issues. I'm running 1W 1258mhz video transmitters with zero issues on my wings. The only issue is GPS - every 100mW power you need 100mm separation.. I use 200mW 1258mhz Vtx on my LR quads
I look forward to seeing how well this receiver works compared to the popular comtech one.
hello! how are you? I don't understand how the audio works on this transmitter. I need to receive the audio on my ground station. I tried with the built-in microphone, and also connected the camera audio to the pad. but I still don't receive audio. my Rx is lawmate. I use it in 1280. Thanks !
Very nice !!I'm glad to see Matek is getting into the 1G3 market. ... It's hard to find a new Nexwave goggle receiver module for 1G3 anymore. AliExpress has some but they have the blue logo and are not the FSV2443 model that fixed the bugs..
They won't take the place of a good ground station receiving setup, but are really handy if you want do some longer distance flying (especially in the winter time) and don't want to mess with setting up ground station. Thanks Pawel. Looking forward to your test results. In the U.S. there are just two channels that we can use legally... 1.258Ghz and 1.280Ghz so hopefully they'll make a U.S. version of the vtx.
What about Fat Shark 1G3
discontinued
@@FPVUniversity oh
Is 1.2 ghz legal in Europe/Germany
@@Jan-nnnn
In Germany it's illegal. Frequency is used for military communication.
It is time for 1.3 ghz transmitters to be on sale again, as the older generation is hard to find. Then have to see the quality
Greetings, if you can get me out of the doubt, I see in the new Tx that it has an integrated microphone. How can I activate it to use it.
Thanks
You should review the new flywoo 1.3ghz diversity vrx!
It fits the goggles!
All I want to know from matek is how well its channels align with the US band plan. I haven't watched the video yet, but BURNING QUESTION
They have 1280mhz and 1258mhz available. But having all the others unlocked might be a problem with the FCC.
Immersionrc has had a 1.2 fatshark module for years
Can't forget the old LaserBGC ones too! I wonder if they're still making those? I have one sitting around somewhere.
That is true, I have one myself.., but they are not easy to find anymore. I think they've be discontinued. Everywhere I've looked it seems to indicate "No Longer Available", example : www.horizonhobby.com/nexwave-rf-1g3rx-8ch-module-fsv2443
Anyway.. hopefully Matek will offer this combo for the FPV community.
It was a shit module as I recall...
@@bonafidepirate You're right Keith, I forgot about that company.. it looks like they still offer that 1.3G Fatshark module ! I've never owned one of those though.. I wonder how they perform ??
@@bonafidepirate really interested to see how these compare the receivers we use now mainly because there's like 1,000% size difference and maybe that's just because they were originally made to be in hot enclosures hopefully these work way better because it'd be nice to have a smaller size in your setup.
Looks very interesting! Maybe this could be a little revolution in the long range scene?
1.2g video has been around for many many years.....
@@EnglishTurbines But not in this form factor and weight as a FatShark module?
@@Jackjan4 True, but I use a quality Lawmate video reciever, and 5.8g relay, so the vrx is of no interest to me...The vtx is though, especially because it looks like it has a Mic onboard.
To those who fly long range enough standalone receiver module. Most of us already have lawmate good receivers and transmiters. With groundstation range will be better
@@Jackjan4 Yes I have one from fat shark but they were discontinued years ago. Old tech
OKAYYY.CAN YOU SUGGEST ME SOME LCD USED FOR
LIVE VIEW OF BEST QUALITY , WHEN USED WITH DOCK KING ??
Hi Pavel,, May I ask you, what kind of range did you obtain in this system? Regards Ivan
amazing! I want one!
always good reviews. a question: How are the antennas placed during the flight, vertical from the front or side, horizontal? thanks
They look to be the inverted v type so like this V pointed up
@@blackterminal: I have been doing tests with an old DJI F450 drone and then putting it on an X8 glider and until now the result is that a DIY helical antenna give me more range. I will try to put them up "V. Thank you
Got one ove transmitters the Mike's not working can anyone help me thank you
Nothing new here. What rock you been camping under?? Been flying 1G3 long range for years now. AliExpress is full of 5v 200 and 600mw 1G2/1G3 Vtx too btw and they work great. Also fatshark have had a 1G3 module for years man!! And you can still get the modules on AliExpress to. Great to see matek getting into it, I did ask them 12 months ago if they were making anything and didn't hint at all, but they've finally done it - pity it's not a diversity Rx.. FAIL
what is diversity Rx?
how is the impedance of the antenna?
Can that Vector analyzer test antenna between 433MHz and 6GHz?
I want to test/tune hand made antennae for both fpv and control link!
Hello very Good vidéo, VRX module compatible with eachine ev200d ? Thanks
Интересно будет ли совместим передачик от матек со старыми 8канальными приемниками?
Hi Pawel, thanks for the review!
How is it about Crossfire (868 / 915MHz) with this receiver? Is it also affected by the problem, that there is no proper input filter, and the Crossfire TX makes it level down the input amp?
Till now all the RX are affected by this problem, I hope there will be a solution soon?
Crossfire can interfere with 1.2G. just run a notch filter. So many available like TBS.
Ward Paterson The prob is the VRx, not the crossfire. I know about Notch Filters, and that they don’t completely solve the issue. That‘s why I asked, with a narrow band pre-amp in the RX, a Notch wouldn’t be required - only this would fix the real cause of the problem..
Have fun in the south of spain ;)
Hello Pawel. I get the pack and ordered the furiusfpv dock station...It will be just plug and play? Thanks
yes, plug and play but you will not be able to change channels from Dock King. Only VRX button will do it
@@FPVUniversity how did you get the Mike to work
Посоветуйте им сделать передающую антенну Г образной, на самолетах это удобнее. И надо понять, будет ли срать на остальную электронику.
И одна мощность это плохо, хотя бы 50 стартовую
Fpv pilots and beards . 👌
I mean, is like the law... isn't it ?
If you are flying beardless you're flying wrong.
Hi Pawel, any idea when this will be available to buy?
very soon hopefully
What is the radiation pattern on those antennas?
omnidirectional basically half-wave dipole like
Any info on pricing yet?
Can the VTX frequencies or output power be changed with SmartAudio?
no
They have to build retranslation from 1.2 to 5.8
You can't just simply change the wavelength of a 1.2 signal over the air. And even if you could, you would lose all the benefits of the higher penetration of 1.2. Plus it would be unnecessarily complex on the receiving end and introduce extra delay.
Is it possible to connect the matek rx unit to a monitor instead of goggles ?
For example with a help of Dock King bit.ly/2lYi7eS
@@FPVUniversity hay Pawl .. Thanks so so much man 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@FPVUniversity subscribed 👍🏻
Thanks for yesterday’s help . I found the found the furious dock king lite updated edition, does it works the same as the original dock king with Matek rx ? It’s much cheaper though
Will it work with EV300D?
Channels/frequencies?
All LR FPVers are illegal (hehe)...go on ....nice presentation btw
How is legal situation in Europe?
If you worry about legal everything is you may want to stick to club flying. Where everyone polices everyone and you fly in a boring circle for 5 minutes
@@Freebird_67 yea.
BTW Christopher, have you become a flat earther yet?
shame no variable output power. 600mW is nice, but when you're close to home, everyone else sees your feed...
Pretty useless in europe. Isn't it? But nice for others to have new provider for devices...
How did you put the Eachine DVR on the Dock?
With a little DIY skills :) I think I will record a vid on this
@@FPVUniversity thaaanks!
It will be a problem to have it on airplane whit frsky R9 system ?
why ?
The 868Mhz and 1.2 Ghz are quite close
@@zvonimirtrgovcic5499 I'm flying on 1.2GHz and R9. Max distance was 16km limited by lipo in my harrier :)
Tbs and other stores sell a 900mhz notch filter for your 1.3 rx. you put it in between your antenna and your video receiver
Chewwy is that you
Doesn't 1G3 stand for 1.3GHz?
Usually these go from 1080ghz to 1.3ghz
Does it have one or two audio channels?
Sasha Kruse Grim I have the 1g3 from fatshark (now discontinued) and it has two audio channels.
Carn, t get mine to work am I doing something wrong it should just work the one on transmitter
this vtx throws out so much rf noise that kills my gps... rabbish!
1.2g and 600mw is a lot of RF, okay on a plane, not very clever on a quad though..I use 200mw, which on 1280mhz is plenty..plane or quad tbh...I hope we have selectable power levels Matek..?
200 or 600 is fine. I use 1W on a wing but need a lot of GPS separation between Vtx antenna and GPS
Rmrc rex is better than this it terms of range
