Matek has combined its pdb & its vtx into one AWESOME product.  The matek FCHUB VTX video transmitter is the combination of the Matek PDB and its Matek VTX-HV 5.8G 40CH 25/200/500mW  video transmitter. The FCHUB PDB. The result is a package that pretty much does it all. Combined with the F405 OSD, this is a powerful stack that can speed your drone off to infinity and beyond!!!.
