Choosing FPV video systems & goggles often means deciding between a standalone video transmitter for an existing camera, a cable-equipped VTX, or an all-in-one camera/transmitter. The right choice depends on included wiring, adjustable power, condition, and whether you need a camera in the same unit. Prices range from $25.28 to $45.59, with a $20.31 spread between the lowest and highest listed choices.
Quick take
Start with the hardware role, then use price and included accessories to separate the choices. The Hobbywing XRotor Micro VTX is the price-first pick with switchable output. The cable-equipped iFlight BLITZ is the more accessory-focused BLITZ listing, while the missing-harness BLITZ suits a setup that already accounts for that limitation. The Crazepony unit takes a different path by combining a camera and transmitter in one micro package.

Product notes
iFlight BLITZ 5.8GHz 1.6W VTX FPV Video Transmitter - Missing Wire Harness
The iFlight BLITZ 5.8GHz 1.6W VTX FPV Video Transmitter - Missing Wire Harness is a standalone 5.8GHz transmitter with a clearly defined accessory limitation. The package contains the BLITZ VTX, an MMCX antenna pigtail, the original manual, and the original anti-static bag. Those included pieces give it a reason to appeal when a build already has a plan for wiring. The drawback is explicit in the title and package details: the wire harness is not included. It is also marked used, and previous installation or use cannot be verified. At USD 33.00, the choice rests on accepting that incomplete accessory set rather than assuming a performance advantage.
Hobbywing XRotor Micro VTX 5.8GHz FPV Video Transmitter 25mW 200mW Switchable
At USD 25.28, the Hobbywing XRotor Micro VTX 5.8GHz FPV Video Transmitter 25mW 200mW Switchable gives a price-first shopper a clearly defined standalone transmitter. Power switches between 25mW and 200mW. The 25mW setting is described for race regulations and reduced interference, while 200mW is described for extended range and obstacle penetration. Its micro form factor is intended for mini and micro quadcopters, and the unit is marked new. The limitation is its format: this is a VTX rather than a combined camera-and-transmitter assembly, so a build seeking an integrated camera still needs to address that separate component.
iFlight BLITZ 5.8GHz 1.6W FPV VTX Video Transmitter w/ Cable & MMCX Adapter
The cable-equipped iFlight BLITZ 5.8GHz 1.6W FPV VTX Video Transmitter w/ Cable & MMCX Adapter is the accessory-focused BLITZ choice. Its package includes the 1.6W VTX, wiring harness, MMCX-to-SMA adapter, user manual, and original packaging. That gives shoppers a concrete reason to choose it when the harness and adapter are important to the planned installation. At USD 36.69, it is USD 3.69 above the harness-missing BLITZ listing. The limitation is condition: it is marked used and described as open box, with previous installation or use unverified. Its appeal is the included cable set, not an assumed performance difference from the other BLITZ listing.
5.8G Micro AIO FPV 40CH 700TVL Camera 20-200mW Switchable and Transmitter RC NEW
The 5.8G Micro AIO FPV 40CH 700TVL Camera 20-200mW Switchable and Transmitter RC NEW combines the camera and transmitter in one micro unit. Its specifications include a 700TVL camera, 170-degree wide-angle view, OSD, 40 channels, adjustable 20mW-200mW output, and 9g total weight. The integrated format is the clear reason to choose it when a camera-and-VTX assembly is the goal, and it is described as working with popular FPV goggles. At USD 45.59, it sits USD 20.31 above the Hobbywing XRotor Micro VTX. Its limitation is modularity: a combined camera/transmitter is less suited to a build seeking a standalone VTX only.
Final recommendation by use case
Choose the Hobbywing XRotor Micro VTX for the lowest listed price and switchable 25mW/200mW output in a standalone format. Choose the iFlight BLITZ with Cable & MMCX Adapter when the included harness and adapter matter more than the lower price of the other BLITZ listing. Choose the iFlight BLITZ Missing Wire Harness only when that missing harness fits your setup plan. Choose the 5.8G Micro AIO when the goal is one camera-and-transmitter unit with 700TVL imaging, 40 channels, and adjustable output.
