- This section compares the three Avatar 1S air unit kits in terms of design, camera configuration, features, and specifications.
- The standard Avatar 1S Kit includes a 14 mm Nano-size camera with M2 mounting holes on both sides.
- The Avatar 1S Lite Kit includes a lightweight whoop-style camera without mounting holes.
- The Avatar Nano V3 Kit adds a protective metal housing around the 1S air unit to improve durability and impact protection.

- The three kits use air units with the same core functions. The latest versions support an input voltage of up to 3S, or 12.6 V, and RF output power of up to 500 mW.
- However, the included antennas are different. The standard Avatar 1S Kit includes an LHCP circularly polarized antenna, while the Avatar 1S Lite Kit uses a lightweight linearly polarized whip antenna.
- The lighter antenna may reduce the long-range performance of the Avatar 1S Lite Kit, but it provides sufficient performance for whoops, micro FPV drones, and similar lightweight platforms.
