XLRSD5

Select your GCSD5 model

GCSD5RI

Ground Control Station D5 with integrated radio RF output from a single antenna.

You can use directional antennas with a tripod for a good range.

If you use directional antennas, they cannot be of much gain or the manual orientation of the antennas becomes very complicated, so the real working range is less than with a tracker antenna.

Useful for:

– Automatic flights without video with integrated RC control. Effective ranges of more 150km approx.

– Flights with analog video.

With a 23dBi parabolic antenna, it will have ranges of 100km approx.

GCSD5ST

Ground Control Station D5 and smart antenna tracker (SATPRO), RF diversity, it has more range and security.

The radio control and video system are integrated into the antennas and that improves performance.
The antenna tracking is automatic and the pilot can focus on other tasks. More info…

Useful for: 

– Very long range automatic flights without video (250km or more LOS) with RC control.

– Manual or automatic flights with very long range analog video (100-200km).

– Automatic or manual flights with digital video up to 50Km (more range, please consult).

If you need to partially or fully fly NLOS, you can use XLRS repeaters in real time or add LTE or SATCOM (Iridium) radio modems to the XLRSD5 system if the delay of the RC control is not important. if you have questions please contact us. More info LOS-NLOS.

Remember: The two models use the same 6th Generation radio modem, the differences in ranges are due to the fact that one is diversity, the different combinations of antennas or utility and ease of use, so even with the same maximum radio range, in the practice changes the actual range of work.
