Reliable HD Video Transmission

The P1 Air Unit is made for pilots who want stable digital FPV performance without adding unnecessary weight. With transmission power up to 200 mW, smooth HD video, and a tested range of more than 5 km in open areas, it gives you the confidence to fly farther while keeping the image clean and responsive. The standby mode automatically adjusts power depending on the distance between the drone and goggles, helping optimize performance during use.

* Open-field testing at 200 mW showed a transmission range of over 5 km. Actual range may vary depending on conditions and interference.

Wide-Angle 1080p View

Thanks to its 1/2.9" CMOS sensor and 170° field of view, the camera captures a broad and realistic image that works great for FPV flying. Whether you are cruising, training, or pushing through tighter lines, the view stays immersive and detailed.

Lightweight Design for Compact Builds

Weighing only 6.5 g with the camera and without the antenna, the P1 Air Unit is a smart option for lightweight FPV drones and smaller HD platforms. It is ideal for hobbyists looking for a compact and more affordable way to step into digital HD FPV.

Easy Integration and Compatibility

The standard SH1.0 6-pin port and MSP support make installation straightforward with compatible Betaflight and BETAFPV flight controllers. This makes the P1 Air Unit a practical choice for upgrading or building compact digital FPV drones.

ArtLynk Protocol

The ArtLynk protocol is a low-latency communication system developed for drones, enabling real-time HD video transmission at around 60 ms. It is designed to support a broader FPV ecosystem and deliver stable digital performance for hobby-grade aircraft.

• Artosyn AR803X support: Backed by dedicated platform technology and ecosystem-level compatibility.
• Open ecosystem approach: A shared FPV platform supported by multiple brands and devices.
