There are multiple versions of the Alta X HD FPV System. First, determine whether your HD FPV Camera Bay is pre-installed with a DJI 03 Air Unit, a Caddx Walksnail Avatar HD Pro Kit (Dual Antennas), or if it is the BYO (Build Your Own) version where the user installs the HD FPV camera system.

  • The DJI 03 Air Unit (pictured left) has one antenna.

  • The Caddx Walksnail Avatar HD Pro (pictured right) has two antennas.

  • The BYO version features mounting options for both the DJI 03 Air Unit and the Caddx Walksnail Avatar HD Pro.

Power Input Connection

  1. Power Input Cable:

    • Use either the supplied XT60 or XT30 cable.

    • Connect the cable to a 7.4V - 25.2V power source.

    • Recommended: Use the Freefly Systems 12V DC to DC Regulator for Alta X.

  2. Brain Bay Power Input:

    • Plug the JST-PH 2-pin connector into the brain bay power input within the Alta X.

On first use, you may be prompted by the camera manufacturer to connect the device to a computer via USB-C for activation and relevant firmware updates. We recommend powering on the camera system via USB-C and checking for updates before installing the HD FPV Camera Bay into the Alta X.
