56| AIRCRAFT FLIGHT MANUAL
FIRST PERSON VIEW (FPV)
ALTA 8 and SYNAPSE can power a variety of first person view (FPV) cameras and
transmitters, as well as add informational on-screen display (OSD) elements to aid
in FPV flying. Each supplied cable has the one side with a connector that mates with
a cable located in the closeout panel between booms 1 & 2.
Three FPV transmitter cables are included. The cable with two connectors on one of
the ends will run ImmersionRC and Fat Shark transmitters, the cable with a single
large connector on the end will run Boscam and transmitters, and the cable with a
single small connector will run compact Boscam transmitters.
A single camera cable is provided, and is configured to run a Ready Made RC
camera.
Camera and transmitter cables follow this wiring scheme:

WARNING
It is the responsibility of the pilot to see and avoid other aircraft,
people or obstacles. Always maintain direct line of sight with
ALTA 8 during flight, use visual observers as operations require,
and follow local regulations regarding see-and-avoid requirements.
CAUTION
Do not short the pins of the FPV transmitter connector located
on the FPV transmitter lead in the ALTA 8. Doing so could
damage the on-screen display circuit. If using a multimeter to
check the pins, first connect one of the provided transmitter
cables, then take voltage readings from the transmitter cable.
