KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Weighs 870g at 150 x 144 x 172mm, which sets the airframe and mount it fits.
- Runs on 20~53V drawing 19W (AVG, ranging & lighting off) / 57.6W (Stall, ranging & lighting on) — budget this against your platform's spare payload power.
- Controllable range: Pitch: -120° to +60°, Yaw: ±360° constantly.

Frequently asked questions
How much does the LX-8RB weigh?
LX-8RB weighs 870g. Its dimensions are 150 x 144 x 172mm, so check both mass and envelope against your mount.
What power does the LX-8RB need?
LX-8RB accepts 20~53V. Power draw is 19W (AVG, ranging & lighting off) / 57.6W (Stall, ranging & lighting on). Confirm your platform can supply this continuously, not just at peak.
What is the LX-8RB controllable range?
Pitch: -120° to +60°, Yaw: ±360° constantly. This is the mechanical travel available to the operator or autopilot.
What temperature range does the LX-8RB operate in?
-20° C to 60° C. Outside this band the published specifications no longer apply.
