Connex HD Video Transmission Review
http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2432743
Conclusion
I am extremely happy with the Connex HD system. It just flat out works and works well. It's a must have for any pro level aerial videographer and at $1600, it's a real bargain. Your clients will really appreciate the higher resolution downlink. It makes you look more professional and allows your camera operator to better adjust the camera settings on the fly as well as be more precise with framing. There are also some great drone specific features of the Connex like the ability to control a camera gimbal through S Bus and the built in OSD that can connect to a MAVLInk-based telemetry flight system.
For the everyday FPV hobby pilot with some extra cash, the connex will make one heck of an FPV system. Couple it with a GoPro and a 450 class quad or nearly any FPV airplane and you'll have an HD video signal you can pipe into a high quality display like the Zeiss Cinemizers, HeadPlay HD's or even an HD TV. It will really open up your world and is totally the future of FPV.
Pros
- No latency 1080P HD Video Downlink
- Plug and Play Easy to Setup
- More range than you need
- S Bus Gimbal control
- Built In OSD
- Large input voltage range
- Price is great for professional use
Cons
- Price is high for non professional use

Cine Gear Expo showcases production, post solutions
http://postperspective.com/tag/cine-gear/
Turning to other booth displays at Cine Gear, Amimon demonstrated the Connex series of 5GHz wireless transmission units that are said to deliver full HD video quality with zero-latency transmission over distances up to 3,300 feet, and targeted at feature films, documentaries, music videos and other production applications that need realtime control of a camera and drone. A built-in OSD provides telemetry information; commands can also be sent via Futaba S-Bus protocol to a drone’s gimbal; the unit supports simultaneous multicasting to four screens.
