CONNECTION DIAGRAM

Refer to the diagram below to mount and connect the air unit to your chosen airframe.

Shark Byte Video Transmitter TX5S.1

The Shark Byte TX5S.1 is a digital HD 720p 60fps short range video transmitter capable of delivering up to 200mw on 5.8GHz. The TX5S.1 works with the Shark Byte RX5.1 
goggle module to transmit video, and a remote controller to control the parameters for transmitter and camera wirelessly. 
The Shark Byte TX5S.1 consists of a Runcam Nano HD camera and a video transmitter (VTX) made up of a single PCBs.
Power input range is 7V – 26V (2S – 6S). A large capacitor (220+µF) is required to be mounted in parallel with the power input connector to avoid voltage spikes (and subsequent 
damage) to the VTX. 

DO NOT

 power the VTX without a capacitor on the power input.

DO NOT 

power ON the VTX without an appropriate 5.8GHz antenna connected to the 

u.FL connector. If you power ON the VTX without an antenna connected, it may result 
in permanent damage.

DO NOT

 touch the video transmitter during or immediately after operation, wait for it 

to cool down. It is normal for the VTX to become hot during or after operation.

DO NOT

 use the VTX for an extended period when the temperature is high or if 

there is poor ventilation. If the VTX does not get adequate airflow for cooling during 
operation,  it may overheat and enter overheat protection mode, which will reduce 
range performance.
