Review of Ascent VRX Pro and Lite+ VTX for FPV Pilots

THE ASCENT VRX PRO AND LITE+ vtx are here. I think they are actually a really good option for pilots, escpecially the new air unit. I also made a much more detailed review video with side by side shot PLUS some crazy snake avoiding, mangrove mud searching rescue missions while I tried to find my lost drone.

Ascent lite+

- can now go up to 500mw

- smaller form factor (but mounting might be more difficult)

- 120fps

- has a heat shield metal case now

= $39 so $4more expensive

Ascent Pro VRX  

- better antennas - 2.8db vs the old 2.0

 - can receive an image in 1080pm

= $149 . this is $50 more expensive 

So when you combine these you now can have a 120fps image at 1080p. And you also can hear the audio and record the audio into DVR.

They are still annoying to use without a ground station and no easy way to mount to your goggles. The VRX fan is not quite as loud as my base version and I actually had a great time flying it.

I did however push mine too far But the result was me losing it in some mangroves and I was extremely lucky to somehow find it after walking around in the mud, freaking out about snakes and it still be all totally fine. I actually thought it was gone for good and my review would be a loss.

Obviously if you race its not for you, there is latency but it doesnt feel that different to dji for me. And the price makes it pretty attractive.

Here is a video for a side by side comparison - https://youtu.be/fGz-Q-ZIIO8

Have a great day,

Happy flying
