Product Overview
The RFVTX5816 is a cost-effective universal 5.8GHz analog video transmitter, designed for daily FPV freestyle flight, medium-short range long-distance flight and entry-level drone assembly, delivering an excellent balance between performance, power consumption and ease of use.
Adopting the mainstream 5.8GHz frequency band widely used in the FPV industry, it is fully compatible with most FPV goggles, VTX receivers and display devices on the market. Built-in 48 independent working channels cover common frequency groups, allowing flexible frequency switching to avoid co-channel interference, and maintaining stable and clear picture even when multiple drones fly at the same site. It supports 5 freely adjustable power levels: 25mW / 200mW / 800mW / 1000mW / 1600mW, which can be adapted from indoor practice, daily freestyle to medium-range flight with one click. The maximum 1.6W power output meets the transmission distance requirements of most scenarios while maintaining good flight endurance.
It supports direct wide-voltage power supply from 2S to 6S LiPo batteries without additional voltage regulator modules, compatible with most mainstream FPV racing drones and small fixed-wing UAVs. Paired with optimized heat dissipation structure and stable circuit design, it maintains stable power output during long-time flight. With simple wiring and ready-to-use performance, it is a cost-effective choice for entry-level users, old drone upgrades and daily casual flight.

Core Features & Benefits
1. Mainstream 5.8G Universal Band with 48 Channels for Anti-Interference
Adopting the industry-standard 5.8GHz analog VTX frequency band, it delivers low-latency video with accurate color reproduction, fully compatible with most FPV goggles, VTX receivers and display devices on the market without extra adaptation. Built-in 48 independent working channels cover mainstream frequency groups, which can be flexibly switched according to the on-site electromagnetic environment to effectively avoid co-channel interference. It supports multi-drone simultaneous flight, suitable for flying field group activities, daily practice and other scenarios.
2. 5 Precision-Adjustable Power Levels for Full Scenario Adaptation
It supports free switching of 5 transmit power levels: 25mW, 200mW, 800mW, 1000mW and 1600mW:
- The 25mW low-power mode is suitable for indoor practice and close-range test flight, with low power consumption and minimal electromagnetic interference;
- Medium power levels meet the needs of daily freestyle, field racing and ordinary aerial photography, balancing battery life and transmission distance;
- The maximum 1600mW (1.6W) power mode improves transmission distance and light diffraction capability, suitable for medium-short range long-distance flight and suburban open area flight, balancing endurance and transmission performance.
3. Wide 2-6S Direct Power Supply for Broad Drone Compatibility
It supports a wide input range from 2S to 6S LiPo batteries directly, without additional step-down or voltage regulator modules. It is perfectly compatible with various aircraft including 3-4S entry-level racing drones, 5-6S medium-sized racing drones and small fixed-wing UAVs, greatly reducing the installation threshold, and is convenient for both new drone assembly and old equipment upgrades.
4. Optimized Thermal Design for Stable Long-Time Operation
Adopting optimized heat dissipation structure and circuit layout, it quickly dissipates heat generated during operation, effectively controls the overall temperature rise, and avoids power attenuation and signal instability caused by high temperature. It ensures stable output during long full-throttle flight and continuous operation, and improves equipment durability and reliability.
5. Standard AV Interface for Plug-and-Play Easy Installation
Adopting industry-standard analog AV video input interface, it is fully compatible with various analog FPV cameras and flight control OSD character overlay systems with stable video signal transmission. The compact and lightweight structure fits mainstream frame mounting positions, with simple wiring and no complicated debugging required, even beginners can quickly assemble and put into use.
Applicable Scenarios
- Daily freestyle flight and field racing practice for FPV drones
- Medium-short range long-distance flight and light casual aerial photography
- Entry-level beginner assembly, older drone VTX upgrade
- Flying field group flights and small FPV exchange events
- VTX configuration for small fixed-wing, toothpick drones and other lightweight models
