TBS Unify Pro HV – Race 2 VTX

Team BlackSheep has released the newest iteration of their Unify VTX series – Unify Pro HV – Race 2. This new version of Race VTX has 25/100/400mW levels of the transmitting power vs 25/200mW in the older Unify Race VTX. Some might miss the 200mW output power setting from the first version of the Race VTX, but will definitely like the increased max output to 400mW. The weight was reduced from 7 grams to 4.2 grams. Race 2 version of the Unify supports 7-26V (2-6S) power voltage, has MMCX antenna connector, nice protective cover and everything you need plus proven performance. New VTX supports SmartAudio 2.1 with PitMode functionality and has CleanSwitch technology developed at TBS that will ensure that your video transmitter is interference-free while powering on or changing channels.

A comparison between the first gen Unify Pro HV Race and the second version.

MAIN FEATURES
Smallest, lightest video transmitter on the market (questionable statement :))
2-6S input power supported
25mW / 100mW / 400mW power settings
Integrated heat sink
Ultra-clean transmission (up to 16 pilots at once!)
PitMode – power up your quad during a race
Easy OSD, FC and RC channel changes, with fallback button menu
Robust RF amplifier allows powering up without antenna for hours!
Clean powerup and video switching

SMALL & ROBUST
By completely redesigning the circuitry and changing key components we managed to set a new standard in size and weight for a 6S capable HV video transmitter, without impacting usability. The new heat sink made from patented polymer materials improves heat resistance while also protecting components from impacts. Pilots will be blown away by the clean output power, robustness and ease of mounting. In a nutshell, it’s the perfect video transmitter for any serious drone racer.

SMARTAUDIO V2.1 – TEAM RACE READY
The industry standard SmartAudio technology has been revamped slightly in this final iteration. The power levels have been rearranged to make more sense, doubling range with each setting: 25mW / 100mW* / 400mW*. Additionally, PitMode functionality has been opened up to in-race operation, which makes it possible to all but disable output power through Smart Audio, thus making team races or powered up quads on standby a possibility.

CLEANSWITCH – NEIGHBOR FRIENDLY
CleanSwitch is a technology developed at TBS that will ensure that your video transmitter is interference-free while powering on, or while changing channels. All current video transmitters swipe across the entire band while being powered on, often resulting in flickering and heavy interference to anyone in the air, regardless of video channel chosen. TBS CleanSwitch will allow you to power on and change channels while your buddies are in the air, without any external interference. CleanSwitch is race friendly, and pilot friendly … that’s how we like it at TBS 🙂
