5.8GHZ 25mW TRANSMITTER

Tactic’s FPV-T1 first person video 

transmitter (Tx) is intended for sending 
video signals from a camera (available 
separately) mounted inside an R/C hobby 

model to a 5.8GHz receiver (Rx) on the ground.  Three bands with a total of 22 frequencies in the 5.8GHz spectrum can be user 
selected.  For optimum use, operate the system away from other 5.8GHz transmitters, in areas having as few obstructions 
possible between the Tx and Rx. For best signal, use a clean and stable DC power source (battery, voltage regulator, etc.).  

Allow for maximum space from other electronic components such as ESCs and cables, R/C receivers, high power servos, 

telemetry radios, etc.

Carefully thread the included antenna onto the RP-SMA receptacle on the Tx, being careful not to cross-thread. Turn the mounting 

screw until snug – do NOT overtighten.  Do NOT apply power to the transmitter if the antenna is disconnected as it could cause 
the Tx to overheat!

The included Y-wire harness connects the Tx to a camera and battery 

(both available separately).  Attach the adapter’s white connector to the Tx. 
Connection polarities are as follows:

 

CAMERA CONNECTION:

 Attach the white/yellow/black wire 

to the camera’s A/V signal output. Make sure the polarities 
on the camera’s input matches those of the adapter. Use 
the included gray/yellow/black cable extension with USB 
Mini-B plug if necessary.

BATTERY CONNECTION:

 

Attach the red/black wire to the 

battery. Use the included cable extension with red connector 
if necessary. IMPORTANT: Make sure polarities match! Do 
NOT exceed the acceptable input voltage range of 7.4 – 22.2 
volts, which can be achieved with a 2S-6S lithium-polymer 
(LiPo) battery.

Refer to the charts below to determine the frequency to transmit the video signal. The frequency number is shown at the 
bottom of each switch diagram:

BAND SELECTION: Switches 4 and 5 are used to set either band A, B, or F. Place both switches UP for band A, switch 4 down 
and switch 5 up for band B, and both switches DOWN for band F.

CHANNEL SELECTION: Switches 1, 2, and 3 are used to set the frequency. Set each respective switch to the location which 

matches that shown in the chart for band A, B, or F, depending on your desired frequency.
