Thank You for your videos on Herelink system, I was very much impressed with the 20 km working range. I am building a long range quad and looking for a long range video system, and after considering what was on offer from DJI, I settled on the Herelink because of the different choices available from other manufacturers. In a rush to get my hands on one I purchased the last one from 3DXR as per your recommendation, and paid $1300 AUD or so including postage.Then I was contacted by DHL to inform me I have to pay import duty and GST, it cost me another $280 AUD for duty and GST. To make things worse now the Australian distributor tells me he has two in stock for sale for $800AUD. I have paid double for this system I hope it lives up to is claim and at least do 10 Km range for my trouble.You have mention in your video that you are using it on your aircraft, have you had an opportunity to test the range?Also can you please include the weight of the items you review, because weight is very important when your building a quad. The Herelink air system weighs 90 grams including both the antennas. I have to shave weight to keep my aim of getting 60 min flying time.Also can you all recommend me a 3 axis gimbal to work with this Herelink System? Bearing in mind the gimbal should be light as possible and should be compactible with the Herelink System.Oh will be purchasing the Pixhawak 2.1 from the Australian dealer today, and willing following your advice and will get the Monch products to go with it.Thank to allGanesh.
How do I find out the version I have? Can you please show how to set up and calibrate? Have you tested the range? Can you set up camera gimbal? Will it work with "Tarot 3D V Metal 3 axis PTZ Gimbal Camera Stablizer TL3T05 for GOPRO Camera" gimbal?
what kind of gimbal??pleaseshow the actual physical hook up howdo you make the herelink hook to &control a storm 32 gimbal i am using KORE PDB cube 2.1 I also have standard carrier boardthere no "pins" to connect pitch roll please stsep by step the actual physical connections
Correct me if I'm wrong, now we can operate an RC vehicle with objects between you and the vehicle. For example, flying a multi-rotor on the other side of a building or a hill not having direct line-of-sight, and still be able to control the vehicle? Unlike some products which in order to have control you need line-of-sight for it to operate. Is this correct? I want one I just don't know if I need one. :P
Very nice walk-through. Have you heard anything about the ability to purchase only the air units? I have several platforms I would like to experiment on and only need a single ground controller.
Thank you for your tutorial! Question, I see that your HereLink Tx doesn't have the Android Navigation bar (back, home, menu). How did you remove it? Mine is always on, and it takes up a lot of screen space.
Nice video. Here's a question; will this eventually support trigger over hdmi via the Solex app? This is probably a question for Kelly Schrock, and each camera would effectively have to have "profiles", but I'd really like to control parameters (iso, shutter, aperture) and at the very least trigger over hdmi.
thats up to camera manufactures to open source their camera interface. Gopro ended access to zenmuse after DJI started making their own cameras or perjaps when the Karma was dreamt up
@@andrewjamez fyi ... mavlink intercepting commands. Where there's a will there's a way. Also I might add peripherals like intelli-g also command a number of cameras. It is merely integrating that technology. Regarding full control over the Hero 7 on the 3DR Solo & Solex www.hackster.io/user1085757683/gopro-hero-5-6-7-black-control-with-3dr-solo-9df7aa
Do you know if the GoPro Session or Polaroid Cube could possibly work for live streaming? I didn't see them included in your list. I'm assuming none of the Runcam cameras would work.
Not been able to see a single run cam with HDMI and I have looked through all of them, there is no HDMI out on the Sessions either, basically it’s only that list. As for 3rd party ones I’m not sure any of them will work for HDMI love feed, some have playback but no love feed and many are just using the micro HDMI as a connector for analog video
@@MadRC Thanks for the information! I greatly appreciate it :D Keep up the good work! I love your Pixhawk 2.1 Cube videos along with their respective companion vids.
Does the ground unit have HDMI out? Reading comments it appears to not be an option, can you please confirm. If HDMI out of the ground unit is not an option, can you recommend a setup that does? Thanks in advance.
But how can I control the channels? for example I would need a three-step switch to focus and trigger a camera. In a standard remote control, this has so far been done with a lever. Is there a touchscreen solution for Herelink?
Hey Mad, one last question. If a camera has an HDMI output (full-size) with live streaming capability, do you think I could use an HDMI mini to HDMI adapter and it work on the Herelink?
As per my comments on your range test video, I have tested the Herelink with two cameras GoPro7 Black and Xiaomi Yi 1080P. The GoPro7 Black worked but the latency is unacceptable, of course the Xiaomi Yi is not supported by Herelink it did not work. But one thing I have noticed with both the cameras they both support live feed. The GoPro7 Black live feed has very bad latency compared to Xiaomi Yi 1080P, I wish the upcoming firmware upgrade will support Xiaomi Yi 1080P. Please pass on the message to who ever is developing the new firmware update. Also I have noticed in other videos there is support for a 3 axis gimbal controller. Can you please make a video on how to set up a 3 axis gimbal for the Herelink system? Once again thank you very much for your videos.
Hey Mad RC, lol me again. Sorry for pestering about all these questions but I have a feeling you're probably one of the most qualified people in the world right now that could answer them. Do you know if it's possible to use an HD 1080 webcam to live stream instead of an action camera? Or perhaps a camera with less height than a GoPro. I literally only have 38mm of wiggle room (height-wise) to slide a camera into this slot on my drone.. I don't think a GoPro is going to fit T_T
web cams are IP protocol, you would need an ip to HDMI converter which are bulky and may or may not work...also it would add more latency which is the enemy
Yea as stated webcam has not got hdmi. At this stage GoPro os really where it’s at, there are some smaller Fpv cameras with a HDMI but again these have not been tested.
@@MadRC Yeah, I found a camera that might have worked. It was the JooVoo X which could output live HDMI video and it was the perfect size like about the same size as the Mobius camera but appears to be out of production... I'm surprised how few cameras that are out there below $200 that have an output HDMI mini. It has me a little salty today. Going to swing by Best Buy and ask Geek Squad if they know of any cameras other than GoPro. Like I said earlier, the GoPro is too tall for my application.
Check out this www.back-bone.ca/product/ripcord/ it relocates the sensor/lens of a Hero5 via a ribbon cable. Ridiculously expensive, but I still want one. Not sure if the ribbon cable would get in the way of a gimbal.
I wish I had never bought the three that I have. They were pushed out waaaay too early. there needs to be a nice small camera option. The QGC app is terrible (Not supported by manufacturer). These units are in desperate need of firmware upgrades. It is almost impossible to market these to my customers...

I’m not able to bind my air unit according to directions and the online PC manual update seems to just crash.
Tq you sir very nice vedio
Very informative.
Sj models and other clones can output video through the 10 pin mini usb port.
Thanks for these videos! I really appreciate them! :)
The video I've been waiting for!
I'll wait for herelink 2....want more hardware buttons and no lag at least
How do I find out the version I have? Can you please show how to set up and calibrate? Have you tested the range? Can you set up camera gimbal? Will it work with "Tarot 3D V Metal 3 axis PTZ Gimbal Camera Stablizer TL3T05 for GOPRO Camera" gimbal?
Need to explore aux channel setup and to trigger cameras ets..
Just an update 3DXR in the UK now has some more stock of the Herelink units www.3dxr.co.uk/product/herelink-hd-video-transmission-system/
I love this
Great video! Question: Can the GoPro be charged from the Herelink via HDMI?
Sadly no but you could just add a USB BEC to the frame and charge via USB C.
@@MadRC Ok cool, thanks! Do you know of any 3-axis controllable gyro/gimbals that works with pixhawk and the gopro hero?
what kind of gimbal??pleaseshow the actual physical hook up howdo you make the herelink hook to &control a storm 32 gimbal i am using KORE PDB cube 2.1 I also have standard carrier boardthere no "pins" to connect pitch roll please stsep by step the actual physical connections

All radio relies on line of sight and flying behind any structure is generally going to result in loss of signal
Can go pro 9 can be compatible with herelink?
You got any solution?
Very nice walk-through. Have you heard anything about the ability to purchase only the air units? I have several platforms I would like to experiment on and only need a single ground controller.
Not yet but hopefully when it’s on proper release then they will be available but I do not know where the price will be.
Thank you for your tutorial! Question, I see that your HereLink Tx doesn't have the Android Navigation bar (back, home, menu). How did you remove it? Mine is always on, and it takes up a lot of screen space.
This will all be changing in the new update very soon. Hold out a little longer Solex is coming ;).

Hello Friend. this system works on pixhawk 2.4.6? the previous one from cube 2.1
Yes

No HDMI sadly but there may be some interesting other options conning.
As for anything else there is literally only LB2.
@@MadRC Good to know, thank you. Looking forward to when more units available.
Kinda interesting but EZ WiFi broadcast does some of this on a Raspberry Pi, and is open source ..
How can i control any servo drives or gimbals or camera controllers with herelink?
There are few switches on the ground station.
You would feed them from Pixhawk or the Cube. The output is Sbus so you would need to use one of the Aux channels.
But how can I control the channels?
for example
I would need a three-step switch to focus and trigger a camera.
In a standard remote control, this has so far been done with a lever.
Is there a touchscreen solution for Herelink?
Hey Mad, one last question. If a camera has an HDMI output (full-size) with live streaming capability, do you think I could use an HDMI mini to HDMI adapter and it work on the Herelink?
Yea that will be fine, I’m using a HDMI to Micro HDMI cable on the GH5, you can also use an adapter just make sure it’s a quality one.
@@MadRC Thanks for your input!!! :D
Keep up the ProfiCNC vids! ;) I love them, almost as much as I love my pizza. XD lol
Any good option to get analog FPV video (split mini/foxeer) converted/uprated to HDMI output?
Sadly no all these cameras currently are just analog Fpv. We need the manufactures to begin to add HDMI as an out out option.
