HeroX Integrated Remote Control with Optical Fibre Video
Meet the HeroX integrated remote control: a ground station that actually earns the word “integrated.” Optical fibre video transmission, a sunlight-visible 2000-nit 7-inch 1080P touch screen, and full RC controls—all in one. Transmission distance? 30 km out of the box, 80 km if you feel like taunting the CAA paperwork gods. Yes, it supports Mavlink and CRSF. Yes, it’s only 0.8 kg. And yes, you can finally stop juggling six different boxes of kit like a Rotor Riot blooper reel.

FAQ
- Can you use this with non-fibre optic drones?
- No it is not possible to use the Hero X with a wireless/alternative video input. It can only be used with a fibre optic video transmission system. We do sell alternative wireless GCS controllers such as herelink or hero3
- What is the HeroX system?
- HeroX is a fully integrated fiber-optic video transmission and remote-control system designed for long-range unmanned platforms. When paired with NanoHD F1, F2 or F3 air units, it delivers stable, low-latency HD video and control signals over distances up to 30km (80km optional) using single-mode fiber.
- How far can the HeroX transmit video and control signals?
- HeroX supports 0–30km transmission by default, and can be customised for 40km or 80km applications depending on your fiber requirements.
- What air units are compatible with HeroX?
-
HeroX works with the full NanoHD series:
F1 – HDMI input, flexible camera options
F2 – Integrated 4K mini digital camera
F3 – Compatible with standard AV (analog) FPV cameras
Each unit connects to HeroX using the FC/APC optical fiber interface.
-
- What flight controllers does HeroX support?
- HeroX works with almost any modern FC that supports CRSF (Crossfire) protocol. Setup is done via UART serial configuration (e.g., Betaflight: Serial RX → CRSF).
- Does HeroX support OSD?
-
Yes, HeroX displays:
Battery level
Attitude
GPS status
Flight mode
Arm/unlock state
Users can switch between FPV/DJI/MK-style OSD layouts.
-
- How do I stream HeroX video to a computer or ground station?
-
Connect HeroX via RJ45 and use an RTSP-compatible player such as VLC.
Default stream address:
rtsp://192.168.1.110:554/stream0
This allows sharing video to:Windows PC
QGroundControl
Custom ground stations
-
- What is the video latency of the system?
-
F1: ~50ms
F2 & F3: ~80ms
Encoding options: Low Latency / H.264 / H.265
-
- Does the HeroX support HDMI output?
- Yes. HeroX provides HDMI output
- Can I change the IP addresses of HeroX or the air units?
- Yes. Both HeroX and F1/F2/F3 support full network configuration. A 10-second long-press resets devices to default (e.g., 192.168.1.110 for F1/F2/F3, 192.168.1.210 for HeroX).
- How do I power the HeroX remote controller?
- HeroX includes a 3500mAh ×4 18650 battery pack
- Can the HeroX control unmanned ground vehicles or robots?
- Yes. Because control data is sent using CRSF over fiber, it can control most remote control vehicles
- Does HeroX use Wi-Fi or RF?
- No. All control and video signals are carried through single-mode optical fiber
- Can HeroX be used indoors or underground?
- Yes. Because it uses fiber rather than radio waves
- How do I calibrate the sticks and controls?
Still Here?

Very good audio receiver for my tower speakers and record player set up
Style: Stereo Receiver, Configuration: Receiver
I have had my 1980s Roger sound lab CG 82 Tower speakers connected to a 1999 Technics audio receiver. I use this set up for Radio and my record player.
After many good years, the low end on my audio receiver gave out. I have had it serviced before, but I have owned it for five years and it is a 27-year-old piece of gear that has seen better days. ChatGPT led me to this receiver.
It took me less than five minutes to connect my speakers. What I love about this receiver is that it’s so simple to use. The radio signal is very good right out the box without an additional antenna. I was resistant to buying a Bluetooth receiver, but it connected to my iPad and my iPhone in seconds. Now I can play backing tracks through my Roger sound lab speaker speakers while I jam out on guitar.
No issues with sound quality or anything like that. Runs cool and quiet. If you are a total audio file, you could buy something more expensive. I am a musician and I listen to vinyl. Mostly jazz and classical, and this is fine for my needs. For most people running a record player, looking to modernize with a Bluetooth enabled receiver, this will suit your needs.

LOVE IT - Great Performance and Great Price
Style: Stereo Receiver, Configuration: Receiver, Style: Stereo Receiver, Configuration: Receiver
Speaking as a self-described "audiophile" (but a true audiophile with deep pockets would likely laugh), this was one of the best gifts I've given to myself in recent years (as I have a fairly large music library of nearly 600 albums of 1/3 vinyl, 2/3 CDs and some cassettes).
Bought mine back in March--used to be $200, but when I saw it for $150 any hesitation went out the window and I grabbed it. I have been in love with it ever since. Fabulous sound and power (do you really need more than 100 watts per channel?), great remote control (not used to that, believe it or not), and it lives up to Sony quality. Powers my vintage components perfectly:
> MCS Series 6202 Belt-Driven Turntable (had it since early 80s)
> Nacamichi BX-300 Cassette Deck
> Sony DVP-NS725P Disc Player (DVD but used mainly for CDs - audio-only connection)
> LG TV connected via optical-to-analog adapter
> KEF Reference Series 103/3 Stereo Speakers
Interesting observation about the way the ports are labeled on the back: what would traditionally be identified as a tape deck port (with IN/OUT) is just "Input 4," and while it's connected to my tape deck for playback, the REC-OUT is connected to a USB audio adapter to digitally record anything (mostly vinyl of course) to my laptop for mastering and iPod/digital library access.
The Bluetooth connectivity is awesome as well with powerful range - great for playing music from mobile devices (phone and iPod Classic with BT adapter). The front line-in 3.5 port, identified as a "Portable" is also a great feature.
At first, I was surprised that there was no input for optical, however since digital-to analog adapters are inexpensive and readily available, I think it's best to leave it that way. Would rather have the option, rather than an optical-only port that would otherwise go unused unless one had a component that required it.
HOWEVER, if I were to make any improvements, it would be to add a USB Out port (preferably on the front), for digital recording on a PC. However again, since adapters are inexpensive and accessible, and for the price I paid for this device, I ain't gonna complain. Front level analog balance, bass and treble controls would also be nice, but you have access to all that through the menu.
If you feel due for a simple, powerful and awesome stereo receiver/amplifier upgrade without breaking your monthly budget, this is a winner.

Sony STR-DH190 is an Amazing Deal. Don't pass it up.
Style: Stereo Receiver, Configuration: Receiver
I bought my STR-DH190 receiver to put in my "man cave" pool room. I respect SONY products, but I realized this 2-channel stereo receiver was a budget item, seemingly so inexpensive it must just be an entry-point-only receiver. I was shocked by its quality, sturdy construction, versatility and audiophile sound. It has Bluetooth connectivity, and a phono input for turntables. I hooked up a CD player, turntable, reel-to-reel, cassette deck, iPod, sub woofer and two sets of high end bookshelf speakers. The fronts are SONY Sscs5 3-Way 3-Driver Bookshelf Speakers. The rears are Polk. The sound is shocking, and everyone who hears it can't believe how it rocks. Now that this receiver is actually on sale at almost a "give-away" price, I'm tempted to buy another one as a backup in case one of my other systems needs a replacement receiver. It is Bluetooth ready, so I pair an Echo Dot with it for streaming. It is an amazingly versatile and reliable product. Highly Recommended.

Quite Good, but maybe lacking a few inputs, Optical Audio and AM radio
Style: Stereo Receiver, Configuration: Receiver
Very basic, but seems to be the usual good quality Sony product. I bought this when my decades-old SOny receiver finally bit the dust.
This receiver, at a decent price is a LOT more basic than my decades-old earlier receiver. That receiver had multiple inputs-many which I didn't use but were there for audiophiles all the same. Things like inputs for DAT, inputs for MD audio. analog videos in and out, Super video in and out, Component video, standard cassette deck, phono, component video (multiple), DVD in and out, component video, and more audio channel options I can't even remember. And as old as this receiver was it actually had Optical audio as well! I REALLY wanted to replace that old receiver with the exact same thing. albeit the modern model but that doesn't exist.
SO I bought this one.
Take a look and you'll see very few inputs, but oddly it had all the ones I actually needed for my old set-up-with NO extras though. I'm kind of shocked that this receiver doesn't even have the Optical audio which is kind of a standard now for modern TVs and I had to actually buy a cheap little 'converter box' which takes the optical cable and converts the digital audio into the standard RCA analog audio and I plug that into one of the available inputs in the receiver so that I can play my TV sound through the receiver/stereo system. I'm still kind of shocked that this receiver doesn't have that Optical, that would be the first thing i'd add to really make this a bargain and much more desirable.
So I had to have a receiver for my old cassette deck, phono, etc. and standard CD player as well as DVD/Blu Ray audio sound (as concert DVDs don't sound too good on the standard speakers which come with modern TVs. So i've used EVRY input in this new unit and I really couldn't have bought it if it had a single less input.
So in addition to having an input for Optical audio the other thing I wished it had was a receiver for AM radio, even if AM isn't too popular anymore.
So maybe the lack of the Optical audio, additional inputs for other sources and no AM radio is the reason why this receiver is so reasonably priced, but well, i'm happy with it all the same.
