Locate the gimbal power cable on the underside of IRIS, and disconnect
the two red connectors. This is where you will connect the splitter cable
to power both the gimbal and the video transmitter off the flight battery.
Choose a position on the shell to mount the video transmitter, and
attach the second piece of velcro there. You can mount the transmitter
anywhere on the shell where it will not obstruct the propellers or interfere
with the battery door. We recommend placing it between the gimbal
interface place and the battery door; make sure to place it close enough
to the gimbal plate so that the battery door can fully open.

IRIS: Disconnect gimbal power cable
Connect the splitter cable to both red connectors. The splitter cable
should now be connected to (1) the red connector on the gimbal power
cable, (2) the red connector on the IRIS power cable, and (3) the video
transmitter. Secure the two velcro strips together.

complete wiring
Attach the second piece of velcro in front of the Pixhawk where the video
transmitter can connect to both the power and video output cables.
Connect the red connector on the X8 to the larger red connector on
the splitter cable. (The splitter cable’s smaller red connector will remain
unconnected.) Connect the X8’s red, white, and black three-wire cable
to the transmitter with the black wire closest to the outside edge of
the transmitter. Secure the two velcro strips together. Either mounting
configuration shown below is acceptable.

Video Transmitter Specs
To mount the monitor to the controller:
1 Place the elongated silver cap over the controller’s neck strap at-
tachment. Then set the large spacer in the wide side opening and screw
in the smaller screw from the same side using a 2.5 mm hex key.
2 Rest the small spacer in the cap’s adjescent chamber and lower the
curved bracket into line with the spacer. Secure these pieces by screwing
the flat-headed screw into the openings of the bracket and the spacer.
3 To mount the monitor to the controller, insert the larger black screw
into the hinge between the two silver parts. Adjust the monitor’s angle by
screwing in the headless screw from the top of the bracket.
4 Add the black washer to the silver screw, and attach to the monitor
using the threaded insert in the bottom of the monitor. Screw on both
antennas to the top of the monitor.
