Hi. My first post here.

I have a Eachine Falcon 250 with a broken vtx. I bought the tx526 from banggood as im allowed to use Max 25mw in my country. The new vtx has 5 cables in one connector whilst the old one had 6 cables over two connectors.

Im stuck at how to connect the thing and the cc3d osd mavlink i bought.
Please help me either find a cableharness or lay out the cable setup ? Id love pictures of how you setup looks like

Well, i suppose you "could" make it work with a bit of persistence. I am pretty much a newb to this drone hobby, so dont take this as if im an expert.. I also have a falcon 250 pro, and wrecked it into a chain link fence during my 2nd flight. that said, it shorted to PDB, and flight controller. after replacing them(today actually!) im ready to get back in the air!

On to the point.. i found that the PDB of the falcom has "proprietary" plugs for everything. the flight controller, osd, rx, and vtx all have been modified and have "plugs" on the end.. so youd have to figure out the pinout of the new devices, cut the existing plug, and solder new wires to the existing camera. hope this helps.. tbh, the replacement parts are cheap. id just buy OEM from BG. A naze32 FC was $30 anywhere i looked when i was contemplating builing my own.. buying the "customized naze32" was $12.
 
I ditched the vtx swap due to time stress, i moved my focus on getting the osd working. I found out that one of the wires that comes from FC to osd had to crossed over. After that I used the osd2 port for the cam and hey presto. I can add photos if any1 needs them
