Amimon Launches $1,300 Miniature Wireless HD Video Link for Drones

Amimon introduced a miniature wireless HD video link for drones. The Amimon Connex mini ($1,299) is said to deliver HD video quality; zero latency and encrypted transmission reliability for live and sensitive shots; and multicasting functionality at distances up to 1,600 feet. Calling the system a “new horizon for aerial video production applications,” CEO Ram Ofir positioned it as a solution for local news gathering, inspection and security, wedding videos and real estate property documentation. The Connex mini’s multicast functionality allows a pilot to steer and position the drone, while a videographer controls a camera’s pan/tilt/zoom functions “simultaneously and independently,” said Ofir.
