Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing the Fat Shark Predator RTF FPV video piloting
system with goggles, transmitter and camera. To ensure your continued
enjoyment, please take the time to thoroughly read through this operating manual
before using.
Product Compatibility
The Predator has been designed to adhere to established video standards and is
compatible with any product also adhering to accepted video standards. Due to
the high number of different manufacturers and variation in quality, it’s impossible
to for us to have tested with every product combination and some troubleshooting
may be required if mix/matching components. The Predator has been thoroughly
tested with ImmersionRC gear. For best results and no compatibility issues, Fat
Shark recommends ImmersionRC gear for your accessory products.

Downlink Overview (Camera, TX, Power)
Downlink system comes preassembled and tested for plug/play with your aircraft.
Simply connect the balance lead of your 2S, 3S or 4S (7.4V - 16V) RC battery to
provide power to your Fat Shark Downlink and you are ready to fly.
The handy balance lead filters RC servo and motor noise from your RC pack for a
crisp, clear image.

Small white connector on back of transmitter is for ImmersionRC Tiny Telemetry.
See accessories.
Camera
2.8mm lens for wide angle 100 degree FOV; ideal for fixed camera piloting.
Camera is NTSC/PAL selectable (NTSC default, remove jumper on back for PAL).
Plugs camera directly into TX via included cable (pre assembled).
Power (via discharge filter supply)
The discharge filter supply allows you to power your downlink equipment from your
onboard RC pack. Connect as shown below:
AV in/out Port
RCA Connector: Yellow: Video, White:
Audio Left, Red: Audio Right
Recording Video
Connect AV cable to AV out port on right side of headset. Connect recording
device to cables and set up as per manufacturer directions.

Using an external receiver:
Use the AV cable to connect headset to the RCA
AV port of external devices.
To share the base station power supply with your
goggles, pick up a 3m Dominator AV cable
accessory from your retailer. Note; internal
receiver must be shut off to properly display
external AV.
Battery Charging
The 1000 mAh 7.4V lithium polymer battery pack
is equipped with a 3 pole balance charger lead that allows the battery to be
charged off standard RC battery pack chargers (not included). Follow your charger
instructions for setting up for 760 mA 7.4V Li-po. Some chargers require the
discharge cable to be connected. Use the enclosed discharge lead adapter for
these types of chargers.
Note (1): If the charger fails to announce charge complete, but is showing battery
voltage at 8.4V, the charge can be considered finished.
DO NOT LEAVE BATTERY ATTACHED TO CHARGER WHEN CHARGER IS
NOT PLUGGED IN.
Note (2): If battery becomes fully discharged or shorted an internal safety circuit
will trip To reset the battery, tap 9V direct to the barrel connector via the discharge
adapter cable’s banana connector. This will instantly reset the battery and it can
be recharged as normal.

Accessories
Diopter lens
For near sighted users, diopter lens insert sets are available that include -2, -4 and
-6 dpt. See below insert instructions. Lens orientation is not critical.
SpiroNET Circular Polarized Antenna
The best performance enhancement for your dollar; SpiroNET
circular polarized antennae are manufactured to machine
tolerances and final tested with top end RF equipment for the
best performing CP antenna on the market.
CP antennae naturally reject multipathing (biggest cause of 5G8
video breakup) and have no mismatch polarization when your
aircraft banks – resulting in no rude range losses during acrobatic
flight.
Tiny Telemetry from ImmersionRC
TinyTelemetry is a minimal GPS locator that sends EzTelemetry data for the
EzAntennaTracker down one of the audio channels on the audio/video transmitter.
The EzAntennaTracker will then track the plane and offer battery statistics on its
LCD display as well as other telemetry data such as positional info etc.
The new v2.0 EzAntennaTracker will also offer audible warnings for battery voltage
and total current consumption.
The Tiny Telemetry plugs into the transmitter’s dongle power supply located on the
back of the transmitter.
