HGLRC Zeus VTX 2.5W 5.8GHz Analog Video Transmitter
Product Overview
The HGLRC Zeus VTX 2.5W is a 5.8GHz analog video transmitter for FPV aircraft. It provides 40 channels across five frequency bands and six selectable operating modes from PIT to 2500mW. Its metal housing, MMCX antenna interface and 30.5 × 30.5mm M3 mounting pattern support integration into compatible drone builds.
Technical Highlights
Selectable Output up to 2.5W
Choose PIT, 25mW, 200mW, 800mW, 1600mW or 2500mW to match the operating setup. The listed 2.5W value is the highest selectable output setting.
40 Analog Video Channels
The VTX supports 40 channels arranged in A, B, E, F and R frequency groups. It accepts PAL or NTSC analog video.
Wide DC Input and 5V BEC
The specified input is 7–26V DC. An integrated 5V, 800mA BEC output is provided for a suitable peripheral load.
Mounting and Heat Dissipation
The 40 × 35 × 11.8mm housing uses a 30.5 × 30.5mm M3 mounting pattern. Its upper and lower metal housing sections aid heat dissipation.
Button and OSD Configuration
On-board buttons and LED indicators provide direct setting control. The supplied 2.5W specification identifies IRC Tramp for flight-controller OSD control; the protocol should be checked against the ordered hardware revision.

FAQ
Is this the Zeus VTX PRO 1.6W model?
No. This page covers the Zeus VTX 2.5W identified on the supplied product housing. The Zeus VTX PRO 1.6W is a separate model.
Which output power settings are available?
The specified settings are PIT, 25mW, 200mW, 800mW, 1600mW and 2500mW.
What input voltage does the VTX require?
The specified input range is 7–26V DC. The 5V/800mA rating refers to the BEC output, not the VTX input.
Which VTX control protocol should be configured?
The supplied specification and Zeus VTX 2.5W manual identify IRC Tramp, while an HGLRC online listing states TBS SmartAudio. Confirm the protocol of the actual supplied revision before configuring the flight-controller port.
Which analog video formats and channels are supported?
The VTX specifies PAL/NTSC video and 40 channels across A, B, E, F and R frequency groups.
Can the VTX be powered without an antenna?
No. Connect a suitable MMCX antenna before powering the transmitter.
What mounting pattern does the VTX use?
It uses a 30.5 × 30.5mm mounting pattern with M3 holes.
B2B Procurement FAQ
Which model name should appear on a purchase request?
Specify “HGLRC Zeus VTX 2.5W 5.8GHz” and confirm the 30.5 × 30.5mm M3 housing shown in the product images.
What should be confirmed before ordering a batch?
Confirm the supplied revision's VTX control protocol, power settings, antenna interface, package contents and any destination-market channel requirements in the quotation.
Which accessories should be checked on the packing list?
Check the MMCX antenna, MMCX-to-SMA adapter and both specified connection cables against the written packing list for the quoted batch.
What information helps assess integration?
Provide the flight-controller model, available input voltage, mounting space, antenna arrangement and intended analog video receiver.
Are MOQ, sample availability and lead time fixed?
These commercial terms must be confirmed for the requested quantity and delivery destination during quotation.
