Herelink HD Air Unit turns your drone into one link for HD video and full control. A single small aluminium module carries the RC signal, autopilot telemetry and live video from up to two cameras, so you need no separate receiver, telemetry radio or video transmitter on board. Paired with the Herelink controller, it gives Cube autopilots a ready long-range link for mapping, inspection and other professional missions.

Herelink HD Air Unit — HD Video and Control in One Module

Herelink HD Air Unit is the airborne module of the Herelink system. It is mounted on the drone and pairs with the Herelink Controller Unit (sold separately). It carries RC control, telemetry from a Cube autopilot running ArduPilot or PX4, and HD video from up to two cameras connected to its two micro HDMI inputs. On the 2.4GHz band the link reaches up to 20km under FCC rules (12km under CE rules), with 110ms video latency and 1080p video at 30 or 60fps. The aluminium unit weighs 98g with antennas, measures 78.5x30x15mm, runs on 7-12V and draws 4W on average.

Herelink HD Air Unit Version 1.1

Herelink HD Air Unit 1.1 is based on the original platform and functions of Herelink 1.0 and adds:

  • Ethernet port – network access to the unit, so it works with more peripheral devices and in more applications
  • microSD card slot – reserved by the manufacturer for future use
  • Cooling fan in the box – mounted on top of the unit and powered from 5-12V

Connecting the Herelink HD Air Unit

Herelink HD Air Unit with HDMI, power, UART, S.Bus and antenna cables connected
  1. Mount the Air Unit securely on the drone, choosing the position by the length of the cables.
  2. Connect S.Bus 1 to the RCIN port of the flight controller. S.Bus 2 carries the gimbal signal.
  3. Connect UART to TELEM 1 or TELEM 2 on the flight controller.
  4. Power the unit with 7-12V, ideally about 7V, and don't share its BEC with the servos.
  5. Connect the camera to HDMI 1. A second camera goes to HDMI 2, and you switch between the two streams on the controller.
  6. Mount the antennas vertically at an angle of about 15 degrees, away from metal and other conductive parts, including carbon fibre.
  7. Connect the fan to a 5-12V supply.
