Runcam WifiLink 2 VTX

Runcam WiFiLink 2 VTX is a replacement video transmitter for digital image transmission in the OpenIPC system. Runcam WiFiLink 2 is also compatible with the RubyFPV system.

OpenIPC and RubyFPV are open projects for digital FPV video transmission. They use IP cameras and Wi-Fi modules, from which an HD video link for RC models with relatively low latency can be built. These projects are often used for experimental or development FPV systems where full control over both hardware and software is needed. Runcam WiFiLink2 is a prebuilt and configured unit that significantly simplifies using OpenIPC or RubyFPV transmission.

The transmitter unit provides a maximum transmission power of 800 mW. The recommended power with RubyFPV is up to 320 mW. The unit is enclosed in an aluminum heatsink that helps dissipate heat and protects sensitive electronics, and it is equipped with an active fan for better cooling. For easy mounting in the drone frame, the transmitter has mounting holes sized M2 with a spacing of 25,5 x 25,5 mm. The unit uses two antennas connected via u.FL connector. 

The unit is equipped with an SD card slot used for video recording and uploading the configuration file. Configuration is also possible via the Ethernet port and OpenIPC Companion. The transmitter can be connected to the drone's flight controller via UART for OSD display. The unit is powered by a voltage range of 9-22 V with a maximum power consumption of 15 W. 

We recommend OpenIPC and RubyFPV to technically experienced users. Wi-Fi video transmission is especially suitable for FPV wings and drones with GPS stabilization. Due to higher latency, the transmission is not suitable for acrobatic freestyle or racing drones.
