Tips & Tricks
Suggested OSD Settings
These settings are suggested for much improved image quality and better FPV usage.
White Bal: ATW/Environment = Outdoor
Backlight: HLC (Blocks sunlight)
Pict Adjust: Sharpness = 20 (Default sharpness is much too high and distorts image)
ATR: ON (Seems to give better colors)
Language: English
Changing Lens
Lens assembly is made of metal and quite heavy. The lens assembly from the $17 Sony camera
(http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewitem.asp?idproduct=11977) will fit perfectly
for a weight reduction from 70g to 15g total. The lighter lens is also more wide angle suitable for
FPV.
