Transmitter KAVAN V20 Pro - grey
Not on stock
New flagship transmitter – KAVAN V20 Pro is available for pre-order.
V20 Pro is a 24-channel RC set for advanced recreational and sports modellers. It operates on the brand-new TD Pro transmission system, which uses three frequency bands simultaneously. You can also choose the TD, TW, ACCESS, ACCESS R9 or ACCST D16 protocols. The range of compatible receivers and possible applications is therefore very extensive.
The V20 Pro is based on the proven ergonomics and controls of the V20 transmitter, enhanced with several improvements. The latest gimbals can be tuned using screws on the front panel, allowing you to adjust the mode, stick tension, ratcheting, or stick travel limiters while using, without disassembling the transmitter. The display has higher brightness, haptic feedback can be adjusted independently on both sticks – the left and right, the radio includes a built-in text-to-speech engine for voice alerts, and it features many other intelligent, safety and comfort functions.
Versatile radio for demanding users.
Brand-new tri-band transmission system
The V20 Pro is the world’s first radio to use the new TD Pro protocol. It operates simultaneously on 2.4 GHz FSK and LoRa bands, and also on a backup 868 MHz band. Thanks to this, it delivers both long range and low latency even for telemetry, as well as a secure band for emergency situations. This system is especially appreciated by pilots of large and complex aeroplanes and helicopters.
Sophisticated gimbals
No more disassembling the radio. The new gimbals are fully adjustable using screws on the front panel. This means that you can easily adjust, while using, not only the transmitter mode, but also stick tension and ratcheting, the strength of the centring springs, stick travel limiters and self-centring. Both gimbals have independently adjustable vibration feedback.
Proven comfort
The V20 Pro builds on the ergonomics proven by more than a year of operation of our first radio, the V20. The gimbals are positioned close to the edges of the body for a comfortable and secure grip, whether hand-held or using a tray. Switches, buttons, dials and trims are always within easy reach. So you don't have to take your eyes off your model for a second. But the stylish and vigorous exterior of the transmitter tempts you to do so.
Even brighter display
The large LCD touchscreen still has a resolution of 800×480 px and a diagonal of 4.3". However, we have replaced the backlight, making the display brighter, even in direct sunlight. You will precisely see every colour shade and detail of the already clear ETHOS operating system. More demanding users will customise their radio environment with Lua scripts. These are used to create custom widgets for various aviation data to display directly on the home screen.
Less wires
Audio feedback? Wireless. Trainer mode? Wireless. Full telemetry? Wireless. Prefer a chunk of copper? Cable works too. The V20 Pro has one 3.5mm jack for audio and another for trainer mode. Additionally, the radio features a built-in Text-to-Speech engine for setting up custom voice alerts.
You won’t run out of power
The 6.5–8.4 V power supply is provided by the included 2S LiPo 4000mAh battery. Available timers and alerts will notify you when power is running low. The radio features a built-in balancer for 2S batteries, so you can charge it directly without removing it from the tray. Charging and data transfer both work via USB-C, so you will always plug the cable in on the first try.
A complete catalogue of protocols
TD Pro is far from the only transmission system available. The V20 Pro also supports TW, TD, ACCESS, ACCESS R9 and ACCST D16 protocols. You no longer have to struggle with which receiver to choose. Whether you fly recreationally or for sports, with helis, aeroplanes or drones, you can choose the system exactly according to your needs. Four LoRa and FSK antennas will hold you up in every situation. There is also a Lite-type bay on the back of the transmitter for connecting various external wireless modules.
Extended warranty
All KAVAN transmitters are covered by a three-year extended warranty.
Rotate with mouse
KAVAN V20 Pro is a top 24-channel RC set for the most demanding modellers with a brand-new tri-band TD Pro transmission system with full telemetry support. It boasts a peak response time of up to 4 ms, with a range of up to tens of kilometres. You can choose TW/TD/ACCESS/ACCESS R9/ACCST D16 protocols, also with telemetry. The V20 Pro can therefore be paired with a wide range of KAVAN or FrSky receivers, telemetry or not, with classic PWM and S.BUS outputs.
V20 Pro is suitable for both advanced and sport pilots. Excellent for controlling various aircraft models or heli/multicopters. You can also easily set it up for boats or land models, for example. To do this, use the wide range of functions and mixes available in the ETHOS™ operating system. You can conveniently adjust these to your preferences on the large, high-brightness touchscreen.
You have a pair of high-precision gimbals with side-independent haptic feedback, mounted on 10 ball bearings. This ensures perfectly smooth movement of the sticks in every direction. Their position is sensed by high-quality Hall sensors. Compared to potentiometers, they have higher sensitivity, are not subject to mechanical wear and tear (most often around the centre position), and better withstand the effects of moisture and dust. The control is therefore more accurate and reliable. You can rotate the gimbals up to 8° and limit their range of travel to 45–60°. Of course, there is also the possibility of adjusting the strength of the self-centring springs and ratchet now without the need to disassemble the transmitter. All gimbal response settings can be conveniently adjusted using screws on the front panel. To change the mode, select the desired mode in the settings menu, and in a few moments, adjust the throttle stick ratcheting.
For controlling other functions, there are 6 three-position switches, 2 two-position (1 momentary) switches, 2 side rotary sliders, 6 user-programmable buttons (front) and two momentary buttons (rear). The built-in 6-axis gyro sensor can be set to control the throttle channel, control mix rates and is also used to wake up the display. The trim levers and knobs are all-metal, rigorously CNC-machined. The design of the controller layout and body ergonomics is the result of dozens of hours of testing and fine-tuning by the KAVAN team.
The transmitter body is sturdy and perfectly fits the hand. Rubberised grips on the sides and back of the transmitter provide a firm, comfortable and secure grip. From here, you can reach all the controls without difficulty. The gimbals are located close to the edges of the transmitter. So you don't even need a tray to hold the transmitter comfortably. For maximum ergonomics, long tuning sticks with switches can also be purchased.
The V20 Pro has memory for up to 64 models expandable via a microSD card. In addition to displaying telemetry data on the screen, voice output and vibration feedback are also available. Telemetry is fully wireless. Built-in Text-To-Speech (TTS) engine. Trainer mode is also wireless.
It is powered by a 2S LiPo battery with a capacity of 4000 mAh, which can be charged directly via USB-C. The transmitter is equipped with a balancer (±50 mV) for 2S LiPo batteries, and charges with 2 A at 5 V.
All KAVAN transmitters are covered by a three-year extended warranty.
