That is very very very cheap for a transmitter of that power.... A two watt 2.4 GHZ device usually costs hundredes of dollars I have never heard of the company that makes that, but I am very curious if this will work and if it will give you much range, please report back when you get it and let us all konw !!!

someone can work out the math, but I'm guessing that 2 watts at 2.4ghz is REALLY going to suck down a battery, so i'm guessing it is lucky to even get 1/4 of that. (keep in mind I'm also 99% sure that isn't close to legal, no matter where you live!)

it appears that the size/weight of the transmitter would prohibit use on most of the smaller less powerful model aircraft. the transmitter looks to be the same size as the receiver. most receivers i have looked at are too large and too heavy for my park flyers to hual.

I have a 5 watt and a 3 watt black widow transmitter, and they both work very well . But you generally get what you pay for and that "2 watt" just seems to cheap to be real, thats why im wondering how it works, of if they are lieing about the power it puts out
I wouldnt worry about the legality because my guess is that transmitter wont send a signal far enough to bother anyone, so no one will really care . But please let us all know your results, I am curious .

Shipping is pricey here to NA but if the product is good then I guess it is still a great deal! I emailed the seller looking for size and weight info of the TX.

I have their 1.5 watt version and if you take it out of the case and substitute servo leads for the rca plugs it's very light. My setup will give video as far as I dare to fly. Especially with the GP Patch antenna I made for for my receiver.

I'd also like to know what the size and weight of the TX is without the case. I'm looking for a TX for my 800mw wireless cam that I bought last year. It should have provided good distance but I screwed up the solder points on the TX card to probably beyond repair. Anybody have any suggestiong for a tiny/light TX card that will give great range?

Hi Critter Hunter,
No need to throw in the thowel in yet on your transmitter.. I do a lot of soldering of VERY small connections to wireless computer gear, etc. If you would like me to give it a shot to solder connections on your transmitter for you, let me know and I will be happy to do it for free. Send me a PM if you are interested...
