Ⅰ. Overview
1. Product Features
(1) The G30 series adopts a Qualcomm 6nm processor and is equipped with an Android 14 (64-bit) embedded system, ensuring smooth operation and an open ecosystem that supports the installation of most apps available on the market. It uses an all-new high-power, high-bandwidth 2.4/5.8G dual-band wireless module, supporting automatic frequency hopping and MCS autonomous dynamic adjustment, with an image & data transmission range of up to 30km.
(2) The G30 is equipped with a rich set of interfaces, including optical fiber interface, Type-C interface, SIM card slot, RJ45 Ethernet port, PPM interface, and USB-A (upgrade interface); the GR03 features dual serial port transparent transmission, dual Ethernet ports, SBUS, PWM interface, and audio output interface. It provides an SDK development kit, supports video floating windows, and is compatible with ground stations of mainstream flight controllers. Made of meteorological silica gel, frosted rubber, stainless steel, and ABS, the product not only offers an excellent hand feel but also meets the harsh conditions of outdoor drone use. The G30 is equipped with dust-proof protection at the body, control switches, and all peripheral interfaces to ensure stable and smooth operation of the device in harsh environments.
(3) It features a 10.1-inch industrial touchscreen with a resolution of 1920*1200 and a sunlight-readable display. With an ultra-large screen-to-body ratio, real-time display information can still be clearly viewed even in direct sunlight.
(4) It uses a high-energy-density lithium-ion battery, which supports 6-8 hours of operation on a full charge. When using the standard charger and cable, it enables
PD 33W fast charging. The consistent “wilderness survival” design philosophy ensures you have no worries about the device’s reliability.
(5) It supports optical fiber wired communication, allowing free switching between wireless and wired signals. Optical fiber communication offers ultra-large bandwidth, ultra-low latency, and extremely strong anti-interference capability, making it adaptable to complex and harsh environments, along with high security and ultra-long transmission distance. It also has a built-in speaker and Wi-Fi 2.4/5G.
2. Main Uses and Scope of Application
The G30 is suitable for video image transmission (a camera is required as an optional accessory), data transmission, and control of unmanned devices such as helicopters, fixed-wing aircraft, multi-rotor drones, vehicles, and ships.

(3) Click General (General Settings).
(4) Change Source (Video Source) to RTSP Video Stream.
(5) Enter the RTSP address of the Ethernet camera in the RTSP URL field.
For C10PRO/Ethernet Triple-body camera (requires connection to C10PRO): RTSP address is rtsp://192.168.144.108:554/stream=0.
For C12 Dual-spectrum camera:
Stream 1: rtsp://192.168.144.108:554/stream=1
Stream 2: rtsp://192.168.144.108:555/stream=2
For C20 camera: RTSP address is rtsp://192.168.144.108:554/main.
For third-party cameras that only support stream pulling for display: After setting up the custom configuration, enter the corresponding RTSP stream-pulling address of the camera in the field below.
Note: The camera’s network segment must be set to the 144 segment (192.168.144.x).
(6) Check the Low-Latency Mode.
(7) Click the aircraft icon in the upper left corner and select “Back” to return to the flight page.
(8) Connect to the image transmission normally.
Note: This tutorial uses an open-source flight controller as an example. For third-party flight controllers, please consult the flight controller technical support to confirm compatibility with this connection method.
Steps to enable the remote controller’s hotspot:
(1) Method 1:
Open Settings -> Network & Internet -> Hotspot & Tethering -> WLAN Hotspot -> Enable “Use Wi-Fi Hotspot”, then connect your computer to the remote controller’s hotspot.
(2) Method 2:
Connect the computer’s Ethernet port to the remote controller’s RJ45 Ethernet port using an Ethernet cable. Then open Settings -> Network & Internet -> Hotspot & Tethering -> Enable “Ethernet Tethering”.
(3) Method 3:
Connect the computer’s TYPE-A port to the remote controller’s TYPE-C port using an A-to-C data cable. Then open Settings -> Network & Internet -> Hotspot & Tethering -> Enable “USB Tethering”.
12.1 Sharing Data Link
After successfully connecting via one of the three methods mentioned above, open Mission Planner and select TCP as the connection method.
After clicking “Connect”, enter the IP address 192.168.43.1, then click “OK” once the input is complete.
Enter the port number 5760 and click “OK” to connect to the data link.
Sharing Data Link: Connecting Data Link via QGC
Open the QGC software:
1.Click the Q icon in the upper left corner.
2.In the pop-up dialog box, select Application Settings.
4.Select Comm Links.
5.Click Add.
(1) Serial Port 0 TCP connection method: TCP 192.168.43.1 5760
(2) Serial Port 0 UDP connection method: UDP 14551 192.168.43.1:14552
(3) Serial Port 1 UDP connection method: UDP 13551 192.168.43.1:13552
12.2 Sharing Image Transmission
After successfully connecting via one of the three methods mentioned above, launch the VLC player on your computer. In the Media menu, select “Open Network Stream”, then enter the camera’s stream address as shown in the figure below to realize image transmission sharing.
Displaying Shared Image Transmission via QGC
Simply enter the camera’s RTSP stream-pulling address in the settings as follows.
Note: When using a third-party camera, you need to set the camera’s gateway to 192.168.144.11 to share the image transmission. Only one side (either the remote controller or the computer) should pull the stream—pulling the stream simultaneously from both sides will cause bandwidth congestion and result in image transmission lag.
