TS5828 mount for S500 with heat sink and 30 mm cooling fan.

The fact that modern VTX units are shrinking in size is a concern, as this reduction in surface area often leads to overheating issues due to reduced dissipation of heat. This problem becomes even more pronounced with high-power units like the Eachine TS5828 600mW, which can cause critical temperature fluctuations during flight. So, why is overheating so bad? Overheating can lead to catastrophic failures, causing your VTX to burn out in mid-flight and resulting in costly crashes. Furthermore, running at extremely high temperatures while in close proximity to other electronics on your aircraft poses a significant risk of damage. Heat also negatively impacts the range and transmitter efficiency of your system, which are directly dependent on optimal working temperatures. With this mod, the temperature of the TS5828 remains impressively low, ensuring it operates within normal parameters. To implement this solution, you'll need: 1 x 30 mm fan rated at 12V, 1 X aluminium heat sink, and 6 small zip ties to secure the fan to the heat sink and the VTX to its mount. Installation involves attaching these components using the two lower screws that fasten the front arm to the central board. The total weight added is a mere 30 grams.
