Installation Background
Module Power (or lack of)
Back when FatShark placed the first Dominator V1 goggles on the market, many moons ago, Mr.
Shark had the foresight to include an expansion bay to allow modules to be changed. This spawned a
whole industry in 3rd party receiver modules, covering not only the 5.8GHz band, but also the 2.4 and
1.3GHz bands.
What wasn’t foreseen was how power hungry 2017’s receiver modules would be, and that the
electronics in most of the goggles are not happy providing enough current to power these modules.
Depending upon the goggles used, the rapidFIRE may require an auxiliary power board in order to
supply power to the module.
Installation Details
For Attitude v3, v4, or Dominator HDOs
For these goggles, installation is plug-and-play, no aux power board required.
1) Remove the goggle rx bay door
2) Insert the module carefully into the connector, ensuring that it is not offset, or slid into the
gap between the connector and the goggle shell
3) Finish by attaching the appropriate goggle-bay door (noting of course that the Attitude and
Dominator use different doors)
4) Go Fly
