No returns, no warranty.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis listing is for \u003cstrong\u003eone returned HDZero Race V3 digital HD video transmitter (HDZ3143)\u003c\/strong\u003e. It came back to us marked as faulty and has been sitting on the returns shelf ever since. We could pay to freight it back to the overseas supplier, but we'd rather it went to someone who'll use it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow the price works:\u003c\/strong\u003e it starts at $70 and \u003cstrong\u003edrops every night at midnight\u003c\/strong\u003e for 30 days, down to a $20 floor. The floor price only lasts 24 hours. If nobody grabs it, the price goes back up to $70 and the 30-day countdown starts again. Wait too long and you could miss it, or have to wait another month.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the photos:\u003c\/strong\u003e these are photos of a \u003cstrong\u003enew\u003c\/strong\u003e one, for reference only.

Worth knowing: \u003cstrong\u003eHDZero VTXs run hot by design\u003c\/strong\u003e and need airflow. Powered on a bench without props spinning or a fan, they heat up fast and drop into thermal protection, which can look like a fault. So it might be fine. Or it may genuinely have a failed regulator or RF stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCould score:\u003c\/strong\u003e test it with a fan blowing over it (or in a quad with props on).
