@Moderator Alright... What radio would you recommend with the VOXL 2 mini to achieve 3-5km of video communication.

What communication range is achievable with video feedback when using the VOXL 2 Mini with a USB expansion/Dongle mode?

What have you guys achieved with previous projects for example? 5km? 10km?

What did you use for a ground station with those projects?

@Vinny

I want to use the VOXL2+Doodle Labs Mini-OEM. According to your website it can "routinely transmit full HD video over 20+ km.".

Is it possible to pair it with the VOXL2 mini? Or use the Doodle Labs nano-OEM?

Hi!

What would get the highest theoretical range if combined with only the VOXL 2 or VOXL 2 mini?

Many of these are compatible with the VOXL 2 mini through dongle mode (What the hell is dongle mode? Does it add weight?). But wouldn't that add more weight than just using the VOXL 2 instead?

Hi @Vinny. I require a minimum operational range of 10km with video feedback. I've selected the MPU5 from Persistent Systems for this application. Since it is portable and can be carried on the body.

Pair it with a Microhard HP900. It may be possible to achieve 480p up to 80km away, but that's just an assumption.

@Eric-Katzfey What options do I have with the VOXL 2 mini? Without necessarily adding more componentry. I'm looking for a operational range of +10km with video feedback.

Does the VOXl 2 mini have any integrated radio/cellular? What operational range has Modalai achieved or know is a possibility with a certain base station?

What's the out-of-sight range for the VOXL 2 Mini? If you want video feedback through 5G with onboard antennas.

How can you get the most range without adding more componentry? The only accessory I could find was the "VOXL Cellular LTE" but that's only compatible with the VOXL 2.

There's no info on how much you can output to the motors, and if it's possible to step up voltage.

With the M0134 at least it's listed as 4 channels with 10A continuous. But that can't be used to power two servos or a VOXL 2 mini...
