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.
IMPORTANT!!!! Product Warning!!!!!
DO NOT LEAVE HEADSET EXPOSED TO DIRECT
SUNLIGHT. SUNLIGHT WILL MAGNIFY THROUGH THE
OPTICS AND BURN HOLES IN THE LCD COLOR FILTER
THIS WILL NOT BE COVERED BY WARRANTY. KEEP
