Overview

Product Features

  1. The H30 uses the newest Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 8-core processor, equipped with an Android 9 (64bit) embedded system and advanced SDR technology, also with a super protocol stack to make the image clearer, lower latency, longer distance transmission, and stronger anti-interference. Wildly applied for drones, Robots, industrial controlled equipment, etc.

  2. Supports rich interfaces such as HDMI, RJ45, sensor interface, dual serial ports passthrough transmission, SBUS, aerial photography, FPV security, fire protection, power, mapping robot, border control, etc.

  3. Dust free and drop-resistant materials and structure to ensure its great using feel and durability.H30 uses 10.1-inch FHD high-brightness IPS LCD screen display, which can be viewed clearly under the sun. The resolution is 1920*1200. Supports 1080P high-definition digital image transmission. The dual-3 frequencies antenna signals complement each other, with super-strong signals and ultra-long transmitting distances, combined with algorithm control and out-of-step frequency hopping algorithms, greatly increasing the ability to communicate with weak signals. So you don’t need to worry about the flight distance during flight operations, just explore a wider scenery. Built-in dual speakers, triple frequencies as 800M, 1.4G, 2.4G, WiFi 2.4 & 5G.

  4. Integrated with high energy density lithium ion battery, can work for 5 hours after full charging. The consistent survival thinking in the wilderness allows you to have no concerns about the reliability of our equipment.

  5. H30 supports rich interfaces such as HDMI, SIM card, USB, Type-C, RJ45, PPM and dual serial port passthrough transmission, dual net ports and SBUS for the R30. And supports many brands cameras, pan-tilts, pods and other video equipment. Provide development kit, SDK and technical support, support video suspension, support ground station of mainstream flight control, support QGC and wireless RTSP video stream sharing.

  6. The use of weather silica gel, frosted rubber, stainless steel, and aviation aluminum alloy makes the extreme operating feel, and also meets the harsh conditions of outdoor use of drones. H30 is dust-free in the fuselage, control switches, and various peripheral interfaces. Protective measures such as splashing can ensure stable and smooth operation of the equipment in harsh environments.

  7. Rich ground-end interface, RJ45 network interface, long-distance connection to the internal
    network, Type-C Android high speed USB interface, OTG interface can be connected to U disk and network card, etc., expanded TF card slot.

  8. An independent 2-dimensional gimbal joystick makes the gimbal flying with great facility, like a duck to water.

Main purpose and scope of application

It is used to remotely operate helicopters, fixed wings, multi-rotors, vehicles, ships, etc. for video image transmission (optional camera), data transmission, and control drone flight.

    Sharing video/image transmission

  3. Enter “rtsp://192.168.144.108�554/stream=0” to URL and click “play”
    Sharing video/image transmission

  4. Can the remote control install other apps?
    The permissions of the remote control are all open, and there is no special software or restricted software installation and uninstallation.

  5. How to obtain RTSP address using a third-party webcam
    The network segment of the webcam needs to be set to 144 network segments in advance (ip192.168.144.XXX, gateway 192.168.144.10, or 192.168.144.11). The camera connects to the receiver network port 0 or network port 1. For pin definitions, please see “I. Overview ->5.  PortDefinition Diagram” in this article. You can connect the network camera to the computer first, and use the computer VLC to pull the RTSP of the 144 network segment first. The RTSP address needs to be inquired from the network camera manufacturer before accessing the receiver. Open the H30 assistant, open the video view, click Settings (virtual key), click the video stream address, and enter the link at the beginning of the RTSP input from the computer VLC.

  6. Telemetry cannot be connected
    The FC’S data transmission cable connects to the serial port 0, and the correct connection method is RX to TX, TX to RX is required for the flight control RX TX to receiver. Check whether the ground station APP is a TCP type to connect to the remote controller, and whether the address is 192.168.144.101. and the listening port is 14550. Check whether the baud rate is
    the same as the flight control.

  7. Unable to share telemetry or image transmission
    Please check whether the network cable is connected to the remote controller, whether the Ethernet
    has a static IP address set, and whether the webcam gateway is 192.168.144.10 or 192.168.144.11

  8. How does the remote control enter the fast charge mode? dedicated charger to enter the fast charging mode.
