This should be possible. Some people are using this method to get RTK through Herelink.
Hello guys, i ve gone thru all 1823msgs.
Really great and helpful people here.
New user here. My T12 should be at the post by the end of the week.
I m going to put it in a Reptile Dragon wing (i converted to tricopter vtol, pics to follow) along with a Matek F405.
My concern is how the control latency is vs a dedicated remote controller (like my Taranis for example).
Also i am intending to use an fpv cam thru Matekās board and then thru Skydroid av converter for osd overlay(i am an fpv guy).
Thanks, Alex from Greece

hey Alex from Greece
If your talking rc latency then its no different then a taranis. I have both and see no difference. If your talking video well there is some there and its up to you if itās a problem

Hello everyone, I have a Skydroid T12 .I have problems with the ādevice helperā app, it only works if the Tablet does not have an internet connection, when it does when you start a second later, it disappears from the screen, it is impossible to use it. Does anyone know what happens and how to fix it? I would be very grateful they will help me
Hi Ricky
Yes i was talking for the rc control latency. I know for sure that video will have increased latency compared to an analog vtx.
Good to know that rc latency is same as a common rc transmitter.
Thanks for answering,
Alex
Hola Guillermo,
Tienes que obtener una version nueva, de Playstore es ok. La version antigua pasa eso
prueba esta: http://file.skydroid.xin/DeviceHelper.apk

Hi allā¦iam new to Skydroid .
Can anyone plz help me to get Skydroid SDKā¦
Where can i find it.
I have heard from only one person in this thread that they use the sdk but I canāt remember his user name.
Try looking in the last 200 messages or so. I was talking to him about streaming video to rpi, and try to ask him.
Gal
in case it works for you

Hello Ricky, Gal ā¦
I have been using M12L without problem, and now I am just about to buy the T12. I jĆŗst got offer one T12 with 3 receivers + 3 Cameras (for my 3 drones). I read some times ago that Skydroid can not sell only the Rx, but now you can buy them in Aliexpress. My question is what is the actual max. resolution and fps (frame per second) of the video that can we monitor at the ground station? Do you think the video quality is good enough?
Tks.
Sorry I canāt speak to frame rates. Perhaps Gal knows. I can tell you that the t12 has a max number of receivers that can be bound at one time and thatās 4. If you want to use them you need to bind all 4 at the same time. I put them all on the bench and powered mine up and bpund them all at once. The t12 doesnāt have the same model management as a taranis so please keep that in mind.
It was originally design for agdrones and so it didnāt get moved between drones like the taranis.
Have fun
Cheers
Thank you Ricky for your info. I am currently using 2 Rx with one M12L Tx, so I understand this issue. But my simple question is for you guys that are currently using T12, are you satisfy with the video quality ? Another issue that I just found recently with Skydroid M12L is, that actually it works with mobile QGroundstation and also Tower. So it is much more convenience to use QGC compared with Skydroid apps.
Back to video issue, I have other alternative by using Raspi + Camera, but it needs more effort to make it works.
Hi Tony,
Actually, the t12 video on the has latency, I believe sometimes up to a second, but never checked it and I have no clue of what frame rates it uses.
I am using the video converter with a mounted gopro 5 black -> HDMI2AV -> converter -> t12, the video is ok no more no less and about .3-.5sec latency exists.
The whole t12 video system is based serial transfer of H264, I have tried very hard to use RPI and Auvidea 101 to convert and stream to T12 but had no success. I mean the video got all the way to RPI, however sending it to T12 didnāt work.
Sorry I have no more information on this, no expert on video.
Gal
Thank you Gal. I think this video from T12 is just for back up, can not be used for real areal photography. I found some digital Video 5G wifi that will transmit full HD 1920x1080 px. But range is about 1.5km to 5 km (if using panel antenna). Anybody has experience with this device ?
I would be very careful with those products. When they say 1.5-5 it usually means 300m to 1km. Many reasons but mostly terrain and antennas.
Actually Skydroid have the new h16 which doesnāt come cheap but a very interesting spec, also the HereLink not cheap either is a viable solution as well for a serious aerial photography
500m max. Donāt buy this.

For me I have no issues with the Video performance. I use either the Skydroid camera or a standard analog with the converter. Mostly I go the converter route because I FPV my drones and so I use the 5.8 ghz video for that and the Skydroid video for just playing around.So latency isnāt a concern for me.

Hi all ,
Does someone have information about the new radio from Skydroid H16/H16 PRO ?
There are some interesting features
10Km or 30Km long range
HD video streaming up 1080p
Ethernet auxiliary port on Air unit ( IP NET Gimbal)
2 UART port
1 SBUS
It looks better than Herelink

Thatās on paper, bare in mind that HereLink is more time on the market.
What I like about the H16 is that it is not a close box, you can run qgc latest unlike HL that is bound to a specific version.
However there is not enough info on what cameras can work and not enough info available as usual with Skydroid.
