Install the GPS & Video Transmitter Mount
There are two carbon-fiber mounting plates need to be installed on the
battery installation frame, which are used to hold GPS or the video
transmitter. We suggest users to install GPS on the front mounting plate,
while the video transmitter on mounting plate in the back. Because in
most cases, GPS needs to be installed as near to the center of the main
frame as possible. Similar to IMU installation, when installing GPS, the
direction of GPS also needs to be taken into consideration. As you can
see from the image below, the red arrow points to the front of GPS.
The instructions above only apply to general IMU installations. If there are any conflicts between this document
and the installation guide provided by the flight control manufacturers, please proceed the installation according to
your manufacturers’ version.
The image on the right shows how the video transmitter should be installed on the rear carbon-fiber mounting plate.
The video transmitter needs to be installed with the wire facing the back, as in this way under most circumstances,
it can help prevent the video transmitter from being blocked by the main frame, thus expanding the effective
transmission range.
The image on the right shows the installation position and direction of the video transmitter. Please use 3M
double-sided tapes in the Screw & Parts kit to hold the video camera and carbon-fiber mounting plate together, and
at the same time, use plastic zip ties to make them firmly fastened. Considering the comparatively long distance
between the video transmitter and Gopro camera, please use 2-core shielded signal cable in the Screw & Parts kit
and install the cable through the 25mm carbon-fiber tube
to the front of Gopro camera. Meanwhile, if possible,
please adopt independent power supply. When you use a
3s 850mah LiPo battery as the power supply for the
video transmitter, the battery can be installed next to the
video transmitter, as the red arrow in the image below
shows. The red line in the following image highlights the
route where the 2-core shielded signal cable needs to be
installed. You may put the cable into a harder cooper
wire or a slim tube to help it pass through the
carbon-fiber tube.
