    AVL58 and fatshark predator?

    well i scrapped the AVL58 and finally figured out how to cut and solder the right wires on the fatshark with the FPV hub by just staring at it for a while. its amazing to me the lack of support, or even knowledge, that these places selling this stuff have. seems like they would want to help me...

    AVL58 and fatshark predator?

    I am sooo glad I told the place I bought it from that I was a newbie, and asked them what I needed. That way they wouldn't sell my stuff I did not need. Jokers. Anyway, in trying to connect the receiver of the AVL58 to the goggles, the cords do not match of course. The one supplied with the...

    AVL58 cable cutting

    Got it. Looks like the right way to go. Last question before I order: Would I toss the AVL58 cable that I already cut the ends off of, and use a replacement cable in the kit? Or do I need to find a replacement now that I have hacked it already.

    AVL58 cable cutting

    Okay, that's cool. But when you say 'solder free', Are you not using the four wires on the Phantom that have no plug on them from the factory? How does it attach to those without soldering? or do you not use them at all? edit: I have Phantom 2 w/ H3-3D

    AVL58 cable cutting

    I have found the instructions for installing the AVL58 cable as seen in the picture. I want to cut the cable shorter though, about 2" from the plug, before the "Y". Can anyone tell me how these wires currently exposed in the picture -red (power), black (ground), and yellow (video) and the video...

    Phantom 2 Fatshark OSD?

    So I bought the P2, AVL58, H3-3D, and Predator 2. Completed a couple test flights and of course the learning curve is steep! The questions: 1. I have not yet installed the AVL58. Before I do, how do I get the OSD on the goggles? I need more hardware right? iOSD mini? Amazing that the place I...
