MAD! Got one of these for 35 or 46AUD the other week with some motors a Tricopter thats slowly forming on my wall.... Looked around at the time but ni review that I could find.... Figured AKK were a known quantity so should do the job even if it doesn't get run at full strength... Haven't watched yet, just wanted to say thanks- especially as it'll be a while before mine gets used! :v
I have the 2000mW dominator. Its beastly. Use the switchable power output on the Matek wing controllers to have an on/off switch so you can wait until you've got some airflow moving over it before powering up :) Or use the adjustment tabs to have adjustable power output assigned to a switch. From memory there is a way to configure smart audio to show accurate power outputs. As far as the flight controller is concerned, it's just power levels 1 through 4.
Hi I want to use my Webcam to be my FPV camera It has same 4 Wire Red-White-Green-Black Can I directly connect it to the AKK Race Ranger? Should I rearrange the wire order?
@@AndrewNewton hi eventually the wire are 5V GND DM and DP Did you know where should I conmect the DM and DP wire? I saw in the Video we only have to connect 1 Video Cable to the VTX oiya My VTX is AKK RACE RANGER
Thx, really nice and well structured list this time, but most of the planes won't be shipped from the US to europe I guess. Don't know what gwtr warehouse means.
Unfortunately, it is not a product worth buying. It creates a lot of noise in the image and this is not due to motors or esc noise. Additionally, it does not lock itself to the frequency you set, so sometimes the image may become black and white. I recommend tbs unify pro32 hv.
Why do AKK supply their plugs with such damn short leads?? For the sake another 10cm and $0.05 cents worth of wire - it sure would make life a whole lot easier.
are you going to be doing a range test? i recently ordered a 1600mw unit by a different manufacturer and interested to see how they perform range wise :)
Am I able to just buy that cable anywhere? Instead of having to buy seperately and solder? Im new to this and dnt even know the name of wires I need to purchase?
@@AndrewNewtonThis is the set up I choose. Can you check em and then tell me the name of wires/cables/leads that I need? I have solder gun and can solder on my own, I just dnt know where to start with the cables I need. All my stuff will be arriving today ans tomorrow.

I usually power the VTx from the battery balance plug or from a flight control board. What is it for, plane, quad, car? Here's how I connect ruclips.net/video/46y8fhmvCyQ/видео.html
@@AndrewNewton Wont have a flight controller. Just for some fpv fun installed on rc car. Can I power the VTX from a 3s battery main cable then power the fpv camera from the VTX. One power source. This way all I need is the cables that comes × with camera and VTX, correct?
@@FullPayGaming Correct. The red plug on the VTx is a 2 pin JST, connect your battery to that. Solder 5v out from the VTx to the camera Vin or + (red). Solder the ground wires together (Black). Solder the Video out from the camera to the Video In on the VTx (usually yellow or white)
Every time I need to find out info on how to do things I can always count on your channel . Thanks again
Glad to hear it!
Thank you very much.
I got one of these without a manual.
You saved my bacon.
Mmmm, bacon
Finally some one put the heat sink on the correct side of the board! People always put them on the EMI shiled SMH.
I've got one of these but haven't used it yet so thanks for the set up info!
Great video Andrew!!! What a really powerful Tx!!! Thanks for sharing!!! Thanks for sharing the Black Friday sales also.

Bummer- Somehow I thought the 5v output more than 500ma...

Good tips thanks. I'll have to look for the OSD VTx power level calibration
Awesome. Thanks
Great review on the AKK!
Very nice young man
Thanks Andrew!
great friend thanks for sharing your information. greetings from Mexico. Have a nice day
Thank you! You too!
I have the US version. Limited to 100mW...is it possible to unlock the power of the International version of is it a totally different construction?
Hey could I get some more details on how you hooked up the camera and vtx to the battery with out the FC
I make up a Y Lead to get power for the VTx and camera from the Lipo balance plug like in this video ruclips.net/video/46y8fhmvCyQ/видео.html
Can you please provide me the link of video to how to program (matek f405/f722) flight controller. I buyed it but don't know how to program it.
This is the best place to start inavfixedwinggroup.com or look at my INAV playlist
How did you get the voltage on the screen?
That's a feature of the camera.
did someone got the mic working on this vtx?
Hi
I want to use my Webcam to be my FPV camera
It has same 4 Wire
Red-White-Green-Black
Can I directly connect it to the AKK Race Ranger?
Should I rearrange the wire order?
It's possible but don't trust the wire colours. You would need to have a wiring diagram for the camera cable to make sure
@@AndrewNewton hi eventually the wire are 5V GND DM and DP
Did you know where should I conmect the DM and DP wire?
I saw in the Video we only have to connect 1 Video Cable to the VTX
oiya My VTX is AKK RACE RANGER
5V and G are OK but the others are probably Data+ and Data- You will have to experiment to see which one is Video signal.
First rule about fight club.
Hi Andrew!! My Akk Race Ranger dont show The battery Voltage. How did you manage to do that? I dont use a flight controller.
Some cameras provide battery voltage on screen
Thx, really nice and well structured list this time, but most of the planes won't be shipped from the US to europe I guess. Don't know what gwtr warehouse means.
It's like the secondary China warehouse
when you want to microwave medium size burguers from the air :D
Ha, you might be right.
What is the max. power in your country.?

Thanks for your update
THXS! Good video! Whats better: AKK 1600 mW or 2000 mW?
I have not seen the 2000 but better antennas is more important than more power
Andrew Newton Thxs!
Why can't I see anything in theosd? The signal arrives and even on the radio the vtx is read but nothing in the goggles
Why do AKK supply their plugs with such damn short leads?? For the sake another 10cm and $0.05 cents worth of wire - it sure would make life a whole lot easier.
are you going to be doing a range test? i recently ordered a 1600mw unit by a different manufacturer and interested to see how they perform range wise :)
It wouldn't be wise to show long range tests on my channel.
@@AndrewNewton sure it would be! would be happy to see it:)
If its cause of not wanting to fly out of los you could just have a friend with a 5.8 reciever do the range test while u fly los
Can't set 1600mw on betaflight, help me!
No idea about Betaflight sorry
أحلى لايك👍🏿💐

No you will have to solder up your own leads to suit your own equipment

Wrong vtx table ? Otherwise very informative!
inav doesnt support vtx table
Mine gets very hot. Is this normal?
Yes normal, all VTx get very hot.
Analog is trash sorry I’m hooking this up to DJI
