Need Suggestion for VTx

Hi All

I am kind-off new to this forum as a registered user. I went through all the policies and finds General Zone to be better for this post.

So, I have been into RC stuff since 8th standard and started my flying with a 2 channel Brushed RC aircraft. The hobby kept growing along with me ended up as a employee in a company full of RC R&D. Its fun.

The query is, I have made an Octocopter with payload of at least 3kgs in worst case scenario with best possible material but with a poor video transmission system. The video feed on my GCS is so poor that it's hard to identify between a cow and a two wheeler from 20 meter height. The camera is SJCAM Legend 6 which is one of the very best as per standards but the VTx seems the culprit here. Its TS5828 Mini 48CH 600MW cheap Vtx AND RC832 AV Wireless Receiver - 5.8G VRx just capable to send and receive live feed.

What I want?
- The best possible video transmission system capable to transmit 1080p video. Latency and price is not a concern here.

How much I searched?
- Market is full of FPV category VTx. Available HD transmitters are from china on ali express and am not willing to bet on them. Professional grade transmitter for DSLRs and Video camera are very restricted with 300-400ft range.

I request the readers to please suggest good VTx fulfilling my needs. And the Flight controller is Pixhawk 4 mini.

Thanks.
 
There are a lot of competing digital video systems but they are all relatively new to the market. Personally am using dji goggles and digital air unit system for the vtx and recording flights, caddx also makes basically dji compatible video systems so might be worth looking at. Alternative to explore would be hd-zero from fatshark and maybe see what orca goggles have been up to in the digital video transmission space. Digital has upside of clear picture but can add some latency, for most autonomous flight purposes it should be a better option I would think (latency is only issue for racers really).
