It took them approximately a decade to get this board done, but here is another DVR/Vtx option. This one with a 400mw Vtx and slightly improved bitrate. We find that it’s pretty good at both being a Vtx and a DVR and has been far more reliable than some other options. For one thing, we’ve run this board with no antenna installed and it didn’t burn out. We absolutely do NOT recommend testing that for yourself, but we try to punish products to see how or if they fail.
As an added bonus, the microphone on this thing isn’t totally useless. With some post process fancy audio filtering, it’s actually a nice addition.
It also has a mechanism to start and stop recordings from the OSD and your controller. If you want to do that, read up on it but we don’t recommend it because it’s just too complicated in our opinion. There’s a button to start and stop recording. This DVR does NOT save the file until you hit the STOP button. That mechanism seems to be more of an issue to implement.
