Put The Drone Feed In Front Of The People Who Need It
The DJI SDR Wireless Video Transmission Combo extends your DJI drone's live video feed from the RC Plus or RC Plus 2 controller out to a separate portable monitor. Your incident commander, agency leadership, or second operator watches the live drone feed without standing next to the pilot.
For agencies running incident command, tactical operations, SAR command posts, fire command, and any mission where the people making decisions aren't the same people flying the drone, this solves the bottleneck of one screen on one controller.

Standard delivery is 5 to 7 business days.

How It Works With Your Drone
Your DJI drone broadcasts its live feed to the RC Plus or RC Plus 2 controller. That controller has the only screen in the standard configuration, which means the pilot is the only one who sees what the drone sees.
The SDR Transmission Combo extends that feed wirelessly. The transmitter takes the feed from the controller's HDMI output and broadcasts it via SDR. The receiver delivers the feed to any monitor with SDI or HDMI input, up to 3 km away. Multiple receivers can monitor the same feed simultaneously for multi-screen command setups.
Pair it with our Covert Tactical Vision 21.5" Field Monitor at command post, or any monitor your team already has with SDI or HDMI input.
Who Actually Uses This
- Law enforcement incident command: Pilot operates from the perimeter while the IC, SWAT commander, or supervisor watches the feed at the command post
- Fire and SAR command posts: Search coordinators watch thermal feed in real time and direct ground teams without relaying through the pilot
- Deer recovery outfitters: Landowner or client watches the search from the truck while you fly
- Training and demos: Whole room sees the live feed instead of crowding one controller screen
Real-World Range Expectations
The 3 km rating is measured in open, interference-free conditions. Terrain, buildings, and other 2.4/5.8 GHz devices (Wi-Fi, other drones, comms equipment) reduce effective range. For most command-post applications, with the pilot 100 to 500 meters from the command post, the system delivers reliable performance well within its rated capability.
Compatibility Note Before You Order
If you're not sure whether the SDR Combo will integrate with your specific controller setup, call us at (863) 224-6923 before ordering. Some controller HDMI outputs require specific cable adapters.
