The GEPRC MATEN 5.8G 2.5W VTX is a high-power video transmitter built for long-range FPV flying, offering 5 adjustable power levels up to a maximum of 2500MW. Housed in a high-strength CNC aluminium alloy shell for improved heat dissipation and impact resistance, it delivers a stable, high-penetration video signal even at extended distances.
Why choose the MATEN 2.5W VTX?
Long-range flying pushes video links to their limit — signal strength and thermal stability matter more than anything else. The MATEN’s CNC aluminium housing actively assists heat dissipation at high power output, while its temperature control protection prevents damage from overheating during sustained high-power transmission. With a wide 7-36V input range (2-8S compatible), it fits a broad range of long-range and heavy-lift builds. Pair it with components from our FPV VTX collection for a complete video system.
Key features
5 power levels up to 2500MW
Switch between PIT, 25mW, 200mW, 600mW, 1600mW, and 2500mW directly via OSD — giving you the flexibility to balance range against battery consumption and local power regulations.
CNC aluminium alloy shell
A high-strength CNC-machined aluminium housing improves heat dissipation at high power output and adds impact resistance for durability during hard landings.
IRC Tramp protocol support
Full Tramp protocol support allows channel and power adjustment directly from Betaflight OSD or your goggles, with no need for manual button presses mid-flight.
Temperature control protection
Built-in thermal protection automatically manages power output to prevent overheating and burnout during extended high-power transmission.
Built-in microphone
An integrated microphone transmits real-time audio from your drone alongside the video feed.
Wide voltage input
Accepts 7-36V input, compatible with 2-8S battery systems — ideal for long-range and heavy-lift builds running higher cell counts.

Build compatibility
The MATEN 2.5W VTX fits standard 30.5×30.5mm stacks and pairs well with components from our flight controller and AIO range for a complete long-range build.
Important: Always connect the antenna before powering on. The 5V output is for camera/cooling fan use only — do not connect battery power to the 5V output, as this will damage the unit.
