HeroX Integrated Remote Control with Optical Fibre Video
Meet the HeroX integrated remote control: a ground station that actually earns the word integrated. Optical fibre video transmission, a sunlight-visible 2000-nit 7-inch 1080P touch screen, and full RC controlsall in one. Transmission distance? 30 km out of the box, 80 km if you feel like taunting the CAA paperwork gods. Yes, it supports Mavlink and CRSF. Yes, its only 0.8 kg. And yes, you can finally stop juggling six different boxes of kit like a Rotor Riot blooper reel.
Why You Want It
Think of it as the Swiss Army knife of ground stationsexcept the blades are fibre-optic, Linux-powered, and laugh in the face of sun glare. Youll pull telemetry, video, and control through a single portable unit without praying to the magic smoke gods. And if youre wondering why its not cheaperwell, keeping a 30 km HD link stable is a bit trickier than Arduino blink.

FAQ
- Can you use this with non-fibre optic drones?
- No it is not possible to use the Hero X with a wireless/alternative video input. It can only be used with a fibre optic video transmission system. We do sell alternative wireless GCS controllers such as herelink or hero3
- What is the HeroX system?
- HeroX is a fully integrated fiber-optic video transmission and remote-control system designed for long-range unmanned platforms. When paired with NanoHD F1, F2 or F3 air units, it delivers stable, low-latency HD video and control signals over distances up to 30km (80km optional) using single-mode fiber.
- How far can the HeroX transmit video and control signals?
- HeroX supports 030km transmission by default, and can be customised for 40km or 80km applications depending on your fiber requirements.
- What air units are compatible with HeroX?
-
HeroX works with the full NanoHD series:
F1 HDMI input, flexible camera options
F2 Integrated 4K mini digital camera
F3 Compatible with standard AV (analog) FPV cameras
Each unit connects to HeroX using the FC/APC optical fiber interface.
- What flight controllers does HeroX support?
- HeroX works with almost any modern FC that supports CRSF (Crossfire) protocol. Setup is done via UART serial configuration (e.g., Betaflight: Serial RX CRSF).
- Does HeroX support OSD?
- How do I stream HeroX video to a computer or ground station?
-
Connect HeroX via RJ45 and use an RTSP-compatible player such as VLC.
Default stream address:
rtsp://192.168.1.110:554/stream0
This allows sharing video to:
Windows PC
QGroundControl
Custom ground stations
- What is the video latency of the system?
- Does the HeroX support HDMI output?
- Yes. HeroX provides HDMI output
- Can I change the IP addresses of HeroX or the air units?
- Yes. Both HeroX and F1/F2/F3 support full network configuration. A 10-second long-press resets devices to default (e.g., 192.168.1.110 for F1/F2/F3, 192.168.1.210 for HeroX).
- How do I power the HeroX remote controller?
- HeroX includes a 3500mAh 4 18650 battery pack
- Can the HeroX control unmanned ground vehicles or robots?
- Yes. Because control data is sent using CRSF over fiber, it can control most remote control vehicles
- Does HeroX use Wi-Fi or RF?
- No. All control and video signals are carried through single-mode optical fiber
- Can HeroX be used indoors or underground?
- Yes. Because it uses fiber rather than radio waves
- How do I calibrate the sticks and controls?
Still Here?
If youve read this far, youre either serious about long-range fibre video transmission or just really bored at work. Either way, the HeroX gives you pro-grade range and clarity in a single 0.8 kg package. Add to cart now, or risk explaining to your flying buddies why youre still stuck with a sun-blinded screen and spaghetti cables.
Admit ityour current screen taps out in sunlight. HeroX brings a 2000-nit 7" 1080P touch display so bright it laughs at noon. Go on, click buy.
