Set-up video transmitter
The included TBS UNIFY 5G8 200mW video transmitter and encased cloverleaf antenna provides great range
(up to 1km line-of-sight) and supports 32-channels (compatibility with Fatshark, IRC, DJI and all other brands).
The 5G8 frequency band means no interference when using a 2G4 R/C transmitter.
The kit comes with a VTX extension cable holder if you want to replace and use a larger VTX which does not fit
the standard VTX spot.
See the official manual to find the frequency switch combination for your FPV receiver/goggles,

. Make sure no-one else is using the same frequency in
your proximity before turning on your transmitter.
1. Cut a small window in the heat-shrink around the DIP switch using a precision knife
2. Flip the right switches (up is toward “ON”) and attach the antenna
3. Connect the LiPo battery to test the frequency and video feed (remember to remove the lens cap!)
Important: Keep the antenna mounted at all times while the VTX is powered on, otherwise the unit could
heat up and burn out over time. Forgetting it for a few minutes is normally not a problem.
Note that the TBS UNIFY uses RP-SMA (reverse polarity) connectors, this means that the female connector
body (outside threads) has a center pin not an inner receptacle. It makes no difference on the receiving
end/googles, just the connection is reversed. If you replace the antenna, the connector has to be of the same
type.
