In case the telemetry port of flight controller is unoccupied, we highly recommend to use this method to ensure stable and reliable telemetry signal.
XBLink will read telemetry data, then stream it through ethernet to Herelink Air Unit and 4G at the same time.
In case you are using USB port of XBLink for IP Cameras or USB Cameras, we recommend you connect Herelink Air Unit to XBLink ETH port as below.
Warning: GND signal of Herelink must be connect to XBLink to prevent data loss
Note: ETH port is ETH0 of XBLink Plus
We support a variety of cameras to stream video. Please connect it base on hardware setup as below links
