350 QX2 AP combo CGO1 w/JR XP9303 & Fat Shark Attitude V2

[Turboe]

Hey Everyone,
I'm pretty new with the whole aerial photography and need some advice.

Here's what I've done so far:
1. Flown the 350QX2 w/stock DX4 transmitter & CGO1 that it came with in all modes, works great. Haven't flown it with the camera just yet because this whole auto cutoff on the engine and still getting used to the modes but have used the Attitude v2.

When I bought the fatshark attitude that's supposed to have "head tracking" where I move my head and the camera moves with it. Even with the stock remote there's obviously no way to control the gimbal.

I've bound my JR XP9303 to the heli but haven't flown it yet for a few reasons.

I dont know how to program the remote to make sure a few things stay the same:

• The go home button
• Engine cutoff switch
• Different modes switch on the left side of the remote

The biggest thing I also want to figure out programming is controlling the gimbal.

And to be completely honest maybe they're pre-programmed but I do doubt it and before I send this 1K bird+ up in the air I want to make sure it's good to go. That's why I'm seeking your help .

I also can't seem to find the connection to go from the fat shark receiver to the CGO1, I found one for a HERO3 but not the stock CGO.

If anyone can help I would sincerely appreciate it! This looks like a great forum.

Update, I called horizon hobby tech and they helped me program my radio. However I went to go fly the chopper on the 9303 and couldn't get it going. Only tried briefly to show a friend so I wen't back to the DX4 and I may have screwed up the go home feature because when I pressed it the chopper almost went to go land on a very busy road (far away from where it took off) that connects to the freeway. Could have been due to wind, maybe because I took off on the 8th floor of a building...not sure.

I'll keep everyone updated.

OH and the gimbal doesn't have functionality yet to be controlled but they're planning on releasing an update where you can assign it to the radio. I have yet to call FatShark and ask them what "Head tracking" means because you would think that you should be able to move the camera, but how when it's not connected to the gimbal...makes no sense.

Anyway i'm a newbie with this drone, so much different than flying my Trex or all my blade heli's.

Don't know about head tracking connection, but am also interested
In the Fatshark goggles. I have flown a few flights using my DX9 and it will control the gimbal up/down movement. HH talked me through it. First, in channel assign menu, set Aux 2 to a 3-position switch. Second, plug gimbal wire into the Spectrum pitch control port (middle of 3 ports), third, bind transmitter and you should have up/down control. The gimbal doesn't have side to side movement (with a quad that is done with rudder), so I don't know how useful head tracking would be.

Ho did you connect the filtered power adapter to the 350 QX2?

Thanks for starting this thread. I'll share as I learn too.

Thanks

The gimbal and fatshark FPV with head tracking is two different things.

If using GOPRO, there is a cable that you can connect to the Fatshark VTX and see what it sees through your googles.

The gimbal can be controlled with 8+ channel transmitter such as DX8 assigned to a 3 position switch. (up, down, center; up and down adjusted with end points and center adjusted with subtrim). This is not head tracking.

CGO1 is wifi and transmit through it's own 5.8ghz and connects through your cell phone with CGO1 app. Has nothing to do with Fatshark.

Fatshark head tracking is using a FPV camera and it is attached to a base with 2 servos with pan/tilt which allows head tracking when you move your googles.
