The EMAX Transporter 2 (WITH DVR) is a specialized FPV (First-Person View) goggle designed for an immersive flying experience with drones. It allows users to view real-time camera footage from their drone, providing a dynamic perspective during flight. This device is intended for users aged 18 and above, and it's crucial to understand its features and precautions for safe and optimal use.
Function Description
The primary function of the EMAX Transporter 2 is to receive and display real-time video feeds from an FPV drone, enabling the user to pilot the drone as if they were onboard. It incorporates a Digital Video Recorder (DVR) feature, allowing users to record their flights directly onto an SD card. The goggles are equipped with two antennas for robust signal reception, ensuring a stable video link during flight. An integrated battery powers the device, and it can be charged via a Micro USB port. The design includes an IPD (Interpupillary Distance) adjustment mechanism to customize the eye distance for comfortable viewing, accommodating different users. The goggles also feature an audio output, suggesting the capability to receive audio feeds from the drone or for playback of recorded videos.
Usage Features
The EMAX Transporter 2 offers several user-friendly features for controlling its various functions.
- Power On/Off and Menu Navigation: A dedicated Menu key serves a dual purpose. A short press enters the menu system, where users can scroll through options. Pressing and holding this key for 2 seconds powers the device on or off. In menu mode, this key also functions as a "return/exit" button.
- Band Selection: The Band Button allows users to cycle through different frequency bands (A/B/E/F/R/H) to match the drone's video transmitter. In menu mode, this button acts as a "confirm" or "+" selector. For instance, when navigating the DVR menu, it can be used to select videos or adjust forward playback speed.
- Channel Selection: The Channel Button is used to select specific frequency channels (1-8) within the chosen band. In menu mode, this button functions as a "-" selector. Similar to the Band Button, in DVR mode, it can be used to select videos or adjust reverse playback speed.
- Auto Scan: The Auto Scan Button simplifies the process of finding the correct channel and frequency. A single click initiates an automatic scan, which attempts to lock onto the strongest signal. However, users are advised to manually adjust the channel if the auto-scan misidentifies the optimal frequency. Pressing and holding this button for 1.5 seconds switches the goggles to AV mode. In DVR mode, this button can be used to delete the current file.
- Recording (DVR): The Record Button controls the DVR functionality. A single click starts recording, and another click stops it. When recording is active, a red dot appears on the screen, and a red LED indicator illuminates and flashes after approximately 10 seconds, confirming that recording is in progress. The DVR supports various video sizes (VGA/D1/HD) and recording durations (off/3 mins/5 mins/10 mins). It requires a Class 10 or higher speed TF card (up to 32GB) and records in MJPEG format with AVI file extension.
- IPD Adjustment: The IPD Eye Adjustment slider allows users to adjust the distance between the lenses to match their interpupillary distance, ensuring a clear and comfortable viewing experience. It's important to ensure both sides of the slider are equal in length for proper alignment.
- Headband and Sponge: The device includes a headband for securing the goggles to the user's head and a sponge for comfort and light sealing around the eyes.
- Reset Function: A dedicated Reset button is available for troubleshooting or to return the device to its default settings.
- Charging Indicator: A red indicator light signifies that the battery is charging. This light turns green once charging is complete, providing a clear visual cue of the battery status.
