New to FPV! Need help with setup :-)

[racerj98]

Hello!

My Name is Justin and I am in need of some FPV setup help! I am currently building my first FPV racing drone. I am running the TS832 5.8 32ch 600mw transmitter with the Fatshark 600 TVL fpv camera. Other parts I am using include the Naze 32, mini power distribution board by Hovership, and 4s battery power by Thunder power. My question is what cables and other accessories will I need and what goes where to make these parts work Ultimately I would want to run the power from the power distribution board and not directly from the battery itself. Please let me know if other pictures or parts need to be included or described!
Much love,
Justin

Welcome to the forum, Justin!

Well, the FPV cam should be powered from the transmitter board once connected, so pretty much all you need to do is connect the transmitter to the PDB. To do this, just cut the JST (small red) connector off at the end, strip and tin the red and black wire, then simply solder the two wires to your PDB. After that, get some upgraded antennas (mushroom or cloverleaf have the best range for FPV), mount your gear on the drone, and connect your battery as you usually would. In direct reply to your question, you DO NOT need any additional cables or accessories t make this gear work. Do keep in mind that a 4s battery is the max that most FPV systems can support, so never exceed this without a voltage reg/stepdown.
Hope this helped, and good luck with your build!
