A Perfect Fusion

Ghost Receiver and Tramp Transmitter…

See latest Ghost stuff

Doesn’t Get Much Simpler…

There is nothing like the experience of flying an FPV drone, but building these marvelous machines is more complex than it needs to be.

With Tramp we set out to raise the bar on video transmitter technology. With Ghost we set out to redefine the norms in receivers for R/C control. And now we have fused these two together, in the groundbreaking Ghost Hybrid.

Designed by pilots, built by pilots, supported by pilots.

20 x 20mm Mounting
Single sided PCB with gummies included
Only 2.2g, perfect for the sub-250g class
Long range AND low latency
250Hz updates *
2.4GHz LoRa and FLRC Control
5.8GHz 1-600mW Video Transmitter *
All 48 Standard Channels
Thermally regulated, Factory calibrated

* 500Hz/1kHz ready for when OpenTx can supply quality data at this rate
* Available vTx channels and power may vary from region to region to comply with local regulations

Intelligent vTx Control

Intelligent, and direct control of the video transmitter from the Ghost ecosystem. Use either the OLED menus on the Ghost Transmitter module, or the responsive OpenTx tools menu.

Tx remains silent on power-up, shuts down immediately in an (unlikely) failsafe.

Thermal Regulation + Calibration

As with all tramp products, the Hybrid includes automatic thermal regulations, protecting the video transmitter against potentially damaging overheating while sitting on the starting pad.

The on-board Tramp is factory calibrated, for precise power delivery during critical race events.
