Awesome video Ian! Just want to clarify for DJI FPV users, we've had quite a few people testing this in the past day and haven't had any success atleast on the latest firmwares. Obviously this is an evolving situation, but from our limited reserch and testing it doesn't appear to be working with anything above fw version 01.02.0015, the same as our B3YOND unlock! If you do have success with a newer firmware, please email us, it'll help us get a better idea of what is and isn't working!
@@FPV-TV419 I think D3VLis referring to the recent update that added AVATA functionality for the V2 goggles. I am reading it as you will be fine if you are on 0015. Could be wrong though.
@@waynegoldpig2220 I have the latest firmware on v2 goggles, avata and dji fpv. I'm running drone tweaks fcc on the dji fpv running .0015, and did a test this morning... its definitely still in fcc mode. So I'm running drone tweaks for the fpv, and b3yond for avata. Using the same set of v2 goggles. Now it could be that the b3yond hack has taken over and is working with the dji fpv.... but I'm doubtful of that. I'd suspect the drone tweaks hack is active on the dji fpv.
@@FPV-TV419 I’m running drone-hacks on the FPV which sits on the drone not the googles. I’m on 0015 in the goggles, and 01.02.0000 on the drone. I’m wondering if this ham.cfg file does something to the goggles that the drone-hacks thing doesn’t? I’m on holiday at the moment so can’t try it.
Just a couple of pointers for other newbies like me: 1) format the micro sd card IN THE GOGGLES! take them out, put them in your computer and then put the ham_cfg_support file on it. 2) after applying the hack, go to transmission in the menu and put it on manual, make sure you try CH2 and CH3 to see which one works best 3) ARM THE MOTORS of the avata! When they are not armed, the avata goes into some sort of power saving mode and you will not get maximum range. Once the motors have armed I went from 7mbps to 50 mbps in a matter of seconds! Good luck flying everybody and thank you for the hack!
Thought I’d share, I’ve just done this with my Goggles Integra, Controller 2 on my DJI FPV & under the manual selection I now have 4 channels, assuming this means success 💪🏻 thank you!!!!!
Just want to say thanks for this. New Avata owner here and I was bitterly disappointed with the range. Followed the instructions in your video and I've gone from 400 metre of range in an urban area over industrial steelworks, which is just about as un-ideal as you can get , to 1.3k out there. And even at 1.3k I was good on signal but getting worried about battery level on the way back fighting a headwind. Gonna try it again when the wind drops as I'm interested to know how far I can go now lol
so I don't know am I getting pranked and should I look for hidden cameras but I had DJI FPV Combo - did everything like on the video - had it "unlocked" and it all worked in theory but in reality I still had 300m range. I crashed recently I bought entire combo again because it was on sale 50£ more expensive than just the drone and - SAME THING. also after inserting the sd card with a file I see FOUR channels on 5.8/40mhz - not THREE. so it works on everyones DJI FPV drone but not mine no matter how many I will buy yeah? Nice one. What is this?? Im in the perfect area have no restrictions and no errors. This company is pathetic.
one interesting side note as I just activated mine in the US, but not with the fly app. I used the consumer drones desktop app that is listed to be compatible with the Avata. Updated firmware right after activation and it only showed one channel available afterwards. Did this hack on the latest firmware versions available via that desktop app and getting all 3 channels now!
I've just tested it and the B3YOND hack works, it appears to have given me roughly three times the distance I was getting previously. I would normally completely lose transmission while flying around a particularly dense building but not any more.
@@flywithme3578 Porque será né? Também estava me perguntando isso... acredito que no auto ele procura sozinho o canal com melhor sinal.. e se vc não tiver mais de 1 canal ele vai ficar preso ali. Então sim.. acredito que depois da liberação dos canais deve se colocar em Auto.
So just to confirm once the cfg files is placed on an SD card and more channels are available (higher power unlocked when the O3 or Avata is armed/flying) can you just leave it in auto for channel selection? DO you still get the same benefits rather than having to txt which channels are best manually? Keep up the great work!
Had my first flight with the Avata today, did notice signal drop out going around trees 1000ft away. So I just did the hack and now have 3 channels NICE ONE. Looking forward to my next flight with a bit better range.
hi perfect video content thanks ive done the fcc mod but could you please tell me when you choose manual and get the 3 all is good but do you leave it in manual or do you put it back to automatic thanks again your vids are great
I gave this a go after watching your video. When I go on to Settings, manual, and when in 5.8 GHZ I now have 4 channels, 🤷♂️ haven’t got a chance to fly it yet. But will be interesting to see what it does. Should of checked how many channels I have before I tried it really 🤦♂️
Hi Ian, love your content, you make everything very clear and so simple to those who have limited technical knowledge. I take it the FCC hack doesnt affect the GPS lock or RTH functionality? Thanks Davie.
Hey guys I have a problem, I updated the firmware and the FCC is not working. I cannot choose the channels. Aircraft firmware 01.03.00.00 Goggles firmware 01.06.00.00 Fly safe database 01.00.01.29
Bought the damn fcc app after watching another video about this. Got the app logged in, all working, connected the avata to my phone.... nothing! Yea, watched this video, realised that i'm an idiot. See the 3 channels. Asked the other company for a refund! lol! Thanks :)
Hello and thank you for this video! I am using the Goggles V2 and a DJI O3 and into the latest firmware on both, your way worked!!!! May I ask something, I do see 3 channels. Shall we keep it on auto and not manual? Does it matter witch channel uses the maximum output or doesnt matter? Thanks!!!
Do I have to choose like Channel 2 to definetely be in FCC? I mean is it set like CE is Channel 1, FCC is Channel two, etc.? What are three Channels for then? Or is it automatically in FCC once you have done this hack, no matter what channel you use?
sorry to ask, do I need to update the firmware on big-older v2 googles to the current one or keep it on same I use naco hack with air unit/vistas? Thinking about buying the Avata but do not want to brick the range on 5inch cruiser air unit
I am in the US and also activated it here but still see one channel :( But have no range issues. Should I stay that way. Don't really want a crazy strong signal around my head from the googles !
Friday 24th February 2023. Just updated the Googles V2, FPV and Avata. Formatted in goggles. I now have 4 channels (it defaults to Channel 3) and access to 5.8ghz. This sound right? Shall I place it in auto please? Do I need 5.8? As usual in the North East of England we've got rain and wind FFS. Found you by accident. Liked and Subscribed.
This mod seems to work well! I am in NA and tested without the file and it seems that the drone does not go in FCC mode... might be a firmware issue. As soon as I added the file, I could see the extra channels.
Just a word of caution. If you are in the UK a ham license will NOT keep you out of trouble on the very slim chance of getting rumbledrunning the higher power. Our licenses do state that we are not permitted to install any transmitting equipment on any airborne platform, including model aircraft and drones. We can only do this under the regulations governing license exempt low power devices. The US FCC ham license schedule is different and does permit amateurs to run higher power on model planes, drones, and general aviation.
so I have the DJI FPV with V2 Goggles and latest firmware installed today.. I can see the additional channels so the hack does change things but I dont have the spectrometre to check the actual signal strength as well as I havent yet tested it in the field which would require me to reset the device and check the same fly path in two modes
When I performed within my dji fpv, it appeared 4 channels on 40MHz. Anyone knows if this is a difference from the avata to the dji? is there a way to check if it is really streaming fcc?
Is it possible or needed to apply the B3yond hack ? Or is the power output on this one similar ? Also, THE BIG QUESTION. I want to remove the altutide max hight, can I combine the hack from DH as well ??? Thanks a lot
Just a quick question. In the US they have to use Remote ID (Latest firmware), I live in Europe and if i have the latest firmware and apply this "hack" will I then be forced to the "remote id" thing?
Just done this on my DJI PFV and it shows 4 channels, is this normal? I didn't check what it was showing before the mod though so unsure if anything has changed. Is there another way to check to the power output?
Just got my Avata in the UK, done the updates via Fly Pc App, then rechecked no more updates. did the hack and shows 3 channels, 1mbs in lower power on all 3 channels but 7mbs when motors are started on all 3 channels 50cm next to me. Am i ment to get 50mbs or so numbers when its that close to me?
I have this hack already for a couple of days and noticed, that I somehow need to choose channel 1/2/3 manually to get the 50 Mbps transmission rate correctly. Sometimes I only get around 5-6 Mbps and it will stay like that, even if I am directly next to the Avata. And it is not always the same channel, I need to check each time. (Please also notice, that the transmission rate/power will be lowered, when the Avata is in "power saving mode". For proper testing the motors should be turned on to avoid power saving mode)
@@MR-go6xc I'm seeing the same thing, rate starts out at 50mbps fine, but if I fly behind something and rate drops, then it will never recover back to 50mbps, even right in front of my face. Did you find a solution to this?
@@MR-go6xc I have just managed to fix mine. Performed a factory reset of the goggles, drone and controller and it all works perfectly now. It would seem that if you do a firmware upgrade after applying the mod then you get this problem. Applying a factory reset after the firmware upgrade fixes the issue.
Hi there. Thanks for the info. It worked. I'm new to fpv world. Could you please tell me that do I have to select a particular channel in order to get better signals?
This is a great help, I got the Goggles 2 and O3 hvnt turn on yet, do I first do the ham unlock b4 updating the fw or I can do it in the later stage, TQ
Quick question Ian. I’ve been using this for a bit but can you confirm how you delete your video files from your goggles and keep the ham file? If you format the SD using the goggles it removes it doesn’t it?
@@MadRC Aah brilliant thanks for that. I’ve been copying it back over each time and thought that couldn’t be right. Really appreciate the reply thank you.
yes, it works also for GOOGLES v2! now the question is - can they activate 2.4GHz? it would increase the range yet again substantially. the hardware surely is capable of it, any modem chip nowadays supports both. its most likely a limit due to lower latency.
so I don't know am I getting pranked and should I look for hidden cameras but I had DJI FPV Combo - did everything like on the video - had it "unlocked" and it all worked in theory but in reality I still had 300m range. I crashed recently I bought entire combo again because it was on sale 50£ more expensive than just the drone and - SAME THING. also after inserting the sd card with a file I see FOUR channels on 5.8/40mhz - not THREE. so it works on everyones DJI FPV drone but not mine no matter how many I will buy yeah? Nice one. What is this?? Im in the perfect area have no restrictions and no errors. This company is pathetic.
So I need to put in auto or manual if on fcc mode ? Which channel is okay ? Which I don’t wish to lose the drone again with failed of vision view again
I have this hack already for a couple of days and noticed, that I somehow need to choose channel 1/2/3 manually to get the 50 Mbps transmission rate correctly. Sometimes I only get around 5-6 Mbps and it will stay like that, even if I am directly next to the Avata. And it is not always the same channel, I need to check each time. (Please also notice, that the transmission rate/power will be lowered, when the Avata is in "power saving mode". For proper testing the motors should be turned on to avoid power saving mode)
Yes it worked for me on the avata and v2 goggles thank Christ.but why do I have to keep rebinding avata drone and djifpv with goggles every time I switch drone around. Is there any videos on that?
So I recently bought my DJI fpv and had no choice when first turning on to get 01.04.00 if I put in manual transmission showed 2 channels in 5.8ghz and 1 in 2.4ghz now showing 4 channels in 5.8ghz and still 1 in 2.4ghz fingers crossed it improves range as I could only go around 3-400meters before it lost signal and did RTH
The reset I think only shows more channels but still runs in CE Mode. Maybe a DJI bug? Strange question but can I modify the code to force it to stay in CE Mode?? 😮
questions : 1. once the fcc applied, the file is actually no longer needed and canbe removed from sdcard? is that true? 2. will this work on the latest firmware as march 2024, or limited on certain version?
Hi thanks for the video. Can this hack co-exist with the vista hack on the SD Card? Also when switching to DIY mode on the V2's and binding to the vista would this reset the hack?
Hey there, thank you very much for the video! Just unlocked my Avata! Here in China where I live, the Manual mode on the Avata is not available. Do you know any way to unlock that too? thank you
I had the same problem, and it seemed like this SD card hack won't do the trick. But I tried it one more time, now formatting the card through the googles, then restarting the googles, then connecting everything together(googles, radio, drone. Just like I would take off), and waited about a minute, and miraculously it worked. I have no clue what made the trick, but I would suggest you give it a few more shots
@@valakimas3719 the FCC trick worked instantly fine to me. The issue for me is another one, I’d like to unlock the Manual mode. Here in China is not available on the Avata but only on the bigger FPV drone
@@travelinglaowais ooh I see. I misunderstood it. I thought by "manual mode" you meant the manual channel selection mode. Cause for me that was sg which only became available after doing the fcc hack. But you meant the "manual flying mode" right?
Just wanted add I had firmware 1.03 on the DJI FPV Drone with 1Ch was available in manual transmission before the hack. After the hack was applied I had all 4 Channels. I did format the card on the drone before copying the file over. Time to send it far. Thanks !!
I have the Dji FPV 1.04 Firmware and this Gives me 8 Channels on 5.8ghz and 3 channels at 2.4ghz (10mhz). Definately gives a lot more distance. But I think i Need to redo it, when it was working well my goggles battery when down alot quicker. now it seems not too. so perhaps i need to format the card in the goggles, as explained above, and then put the file on. Put the ham_support_cfg file definately worked
hi.. thanks for the tutorial. if at manual mode can see 3 channel, that means each time i have to manually select CH3 to get FCC mode? or leave it auto also can get fcc mode?
I have Dji goggles v2, and I fly with old airunit. I want to use the goggles at the same time with Avata too. Which code works for both of them? Best regards Kamran
@@MadRC I know that. The hack covers goggles and transmission power of the video signal. I’m asking if the transmitter’s power varies by region, and if so, is there a hack for that also?
Great video Ian, I've just ordered the Avata drone only option as I already have the DJI FPV v2 goggles and controller and have this FCC hack on the SD card in the goggles so will it just work with the Avata once I pair them up?
does this still work, as i have used this in the past but now am using the v2 googles mostly with my o3 system so i had to update them to the version which would allow all 4 systems on the same v2 goggles, but now when i try to go and use my DJI FPV it only has the one channel . ?
Hey thanks for the content its very helpful. I'm new to the FCC hack world and have been looking today. I just checked mine and it is showing 2 channels before I have tried to do the hack. Is this something new? I had to update firmware today due to adding a motion controller. Do you know of any changes?
I have the drone-hacks hack installed on my FPV drone. This only goes on the drone, not the goggles or RC. My question is this: Does this Ham.cig file improve/affect the googles over and above their native state with respect to transmission/reception or is that entirely down to te hack on the drone? I’m confused as to which component is actually ‘wagging the dog’, so to speak. Cheers if anybody knows.
@@MadRC Thanks but that doesn't specifically answer the question. Are you saying that the Ham file boosts the goggles and RC, but the drone-hacks desktop hack doesn't?
As I’m very new to this fpv system will this hack invalidate any warranty or DJI refresh. Or is it simply reset the goggles and wipe the sd card before sending away for a repair if required
Hi one more question about the fcc hack. Have just got my avata and goggles 2. Have updated all firmware. Will the hack work with the latest goggle firmware? Thanks

Thank you very much! Excellent information. My question is whether after using the file, the channel mode should be set to manual or automatic?
I think the same, did you find an answer? Should I leave it on manual or auto?
im also curious@@R1d3rBul
the good part is that you can turn off and on and hack stays there. Wonderful
Is it possible or needed to apply the B3yond hack ? Or is the power output on this one similar ? Also, THE BIG QUESTION. I want to remove the altutide max hight, can I combine the hack from DH as well ??? Thanks a lot
Just a quick question.
In the US they have to use Remote ID (Latest firmware), I live in Europe and if i have the latest firmware and apply this "hack" will I then be forced to the "remote id" thing?
Just done this on my DJI PFV and it shows 4 channels, is this normal? I didn't check what it was showing before the mod though so unsure if anything has changed. Is there another way to check to the power output?
Just got my Avata in the UK, done the updates via Fly Pc App, then rechecked no more updates. did the hack and shows 3 channels, 1mbs in lower power on all 3 channels but 7mbs when motors are started on all 3 channels 50cm next to me. Am i ment to get 50mbs or so numbers when its that close to me?
I have this hack already for a couple of days and noticed, that I somehow need to choose channel 1/2/3 manually to get the 50 Mbps transmission rate correctly. Sometimes I only get around 5-6 Mbps and it will stay like that, even if I am directly next to the Avata. And it is not always the same channel, I need to check each time.
(Please also notice, that the transmission rate/power will be lowered, when the Avata is in "power saving mode". For proper testing the motors should be turned on to avoid power saving mode)
@@MR-go6xc I'm seeing the same thing, rate starts out at 50mbps fine, but if I fly behind something and rate drops, then it will never recover back to 50mbps, even right in front of my face. Did you find a solution to this?
@@MR-go6xc I have just managed to fix mine. Performed a factory reset of the goggles, drone and controller and it all works perfectly now. It would seem that if you do a firmware upgrade after applying the mod then you get this problem. Applying a factory reset after the firmware upgrade fixes the issue.
@@willstones after factory resetthe will the firmware be downgraded?
This is what i needed to see. Probably gonna buy the new air unit instantly now when it comes out...
Probably? Are you a mad lad?! GO GET THAT SHIT NOW BOY
Hi there. Thanks for the info. It worked. I'm new to fpv world. Could you please tell me that do I have to select a particular channel in order to get better signals?
Saw this on the Grey Arrows, great stuff!
This is a great help, I got the Goggles 2 and O3 hvnt turn on yet, do I first do the ham unlock b4 updating the fw or I can do it in the later stage, TQ
No it’s fine do the ham once all the updates are complete.
Please! once hack is done, do leave it at auto or manual?
Quick question Ian. I’ve been using this for a bit but can you confirm how you delete your video files from your goggles and keep the ham file? If you format the SD using the goggles it removes it doesn’t it?
You don’t need to keep the ham file on the card. Once it’s done it will stay done until you either update the firmware or you do a full system reset.
@@MadRC Aah brilliant thanks for that. I’ve been copying it back over each time and thought that couldn’t be right. Really appreciate the reply thank you.
yes, it works also for GOOGLES v2!
now the question is - can they activate 2.4GHz? it would increase the range yet again substantially.
the hardware surely is capable of it, any modem chip nowadays supports both. its most likely a limit due to lower latency.
so I don't know am I getting pranked and should I look for hidden cameras but I had DJI FPV Combo - did everything like on the video - had it "unlocked" and it all worked in theory but in reality I still had 300m range.
I crashed recently I bought entire combo again because it was on sale 50£ more expensive than just the drone and - SAME THING.
also after inserting the sd card with a file I see FOUR channels on 5.8/40mhz - not THREE.
so it works on everyones DJI FPV drone but not mine no matter how many I will buy yeah? Nice one.
What is this?? Im in the perfect area have no restrictions and no errors. This company is pathetic.
So I need to put in auto or manual if on fcc mode ? Which channel is okay ? Which I don’t wish to lose the drone again with failed of vision view again
thanks a lot !
I can now see the 3 channels
Excited to test tomorrow
How is it?
@@dronessential it was great, but the drone fall deep into a swimming pool. dead ...
Thanks for the info Ian. I now have three channels but which one should you choose to be in?
I have this hack already for a couple of days and noticed, that I somehow need to choose channel 1/2/3 manually to get the 50 Mbps transmission rate correctly. Sometimes I only get around 5-6 Mbps and it will stay like that, even if I am directly next to the Avata. And it is not always the same channel, I need to check each time. (Please also notice, that the transmission rate/power will be lowered, when the Avata is in "power saving mode". For proper testing the motors should be turned on to avoid power saving mode)
Yes it worked for me on the avata and v2 goggles thank Christ.but why do I have to keep rebinding avata drone and djifpv with goggles every time I switch drone around. Is there any videos on that?
When I try to change from auto to manual it won't allow me? It's like a transparent text that I cant click on. Has DJI fixed the hack?
So I recently bought my DJI fpv and had no choice when first turning on to get 01.04.00 if I put in manual transmission showed 2 channels in 5.8ghz and 1 in 2.4ghz now showing 4 channels in 5.8ghz and still 1 in 2.4ghz fingers crossed it improves range as I could only go around 3-400meters before it lost signal and did RTH
The reset I think only shows more channels but still runs in CE Mode. Maybe a DJI bug? Strange question but can I modify the code to force it to stay in CE Mode?? 😮
Hi also to check if it works on the v2 goggles and Fpv drone you have to check how many channels are there?
So have done this ands yes it now shows 3 channels, do i now set it back to auto or do I leave it in manual and select a channel?
questions :
1. once the fcc applied, the file is actually no longer needed and canbe removed from sdcard? is that true?
2. will this work on the latest firmware as march 2024, or limited on certain version?
Hi thanks for the video. Can this hack co-exist with the vista hack on the SD Card? Also when switching to DIY mode on the V2's and binding to the vista would this reset the hack?
Hey there, thank you very much for the video! Just unlocked my Avata! Here in China where I live, the Manual mode on the Avata is not available. Do you know any way to unlock that too? thank you
I had the same problem, and it seemed like this SD card hack won't do the trick. But I tried it one more time, now formatting the card through the googles, then restarting the googles, then connecting everything together(googles, radio, drone. Just like I would take off), and waited about a minute, and miraculously it worked.
I have no clue what made the trick, but I would suggest you give it a few more shots
@@valakimas3719 the FCC trick worked instantly fine to me. The issue for me is another one, I’d like to unlock the Manual mode. Here in China is not available on the Avata but only on the bigger FPV drone
@@travelinglaowais ooh I see. I misunderstood it. I thought by "manual mode" you meant the manual channel selection mode. Cause for me that was sg which only became available after doing the fcc hack. But you meant the "manual flying mode" right?
@@valakimas3719 yes, the manual flight mode
Just wanted add I had firmware 1.03 on the DJI FPV Drone with 1Ch was available in manual transmission before the hack. After the hack was applied I had all 4 Channels. I did format the card on the drone before copying the file over. Time to send it far. Thanks !!
Did you notice an increase in range, or are you still in 25mW?
@@rudiphoto definatley more range
@@shadowcrewfpv6069 good to hear!
I have the Dji FPV 1.04 Firmware and this Gives me 8 Channels on 5.8ghz and 3 channels at 2.4ghz (10mhz). Definately gives a lot more distance. But I think i Need to redo it, when it was working well my goggles battery when down alot quicker. now it seems not too. so perhaps i need to format the card in the goggles, as explained above, and then put the file on. Put the ham_support_cfg file definately worked
hi.. thanks for the tutorial. if at manual mode can see 3 channel, that means each time i have to manually select CH3 to get FCC mode? or leave it auto also can get fcc mode?
Auto gets it as well. I recommend leaving in auto Rob
@@MadRC thanks pal :)
Once everything is done, do you have to leave the channel mode in auto or manual?
That’s the same question I have, do you switch it back to auto or leave it in manual?
Did you get a response?
hello. In Avata it worked. perfect.
Does the smart controller with the Air 2s also work? or is there any other?
Valeu!
Hi, thanks very much! After checking the hack " channel mode in manuel" and "show 3 channels" must it be place from manuel to auto again before use?
No you can use in either.
Are you sure ?
I have Dji goggles v2, and I fly with old airunit. I want to use the goggles at the same time with Avata too. Which code works for both of them?
Best regards
Kamran
Does this system work for Googles V2?
I use googles v2 with naco for another drone.
is it possible to have 2 systems on googles v2?
I got 3 channel but goggle reception still poor any ideal ? But i have goggle is 4 antenna not the type you show in this video
Tested this hack and it does work. My question is can i still update via dji go and can the goggles sd card be formated.
Thanks
Here in the U.K. after doing the FCC hack will I have to tether it to my phone after the latest update like flyers in the USA have to ? Cheers
No your fine in the U.K. that’s US only.
Great video, thanks for sharing. Does the transmitter transmit at CE power, or can this be bumped up too?
FCC is much higher output a than ce.
@@MadRC I know that. The hack covers goggles and transmission power of the video signal. I’m asking if the transmitter’s power varies by region, and if so, is there a hack for that also?
any chance it isn't working on the 01.02 new goggles firmware? I did exactly what you said and I can only see one channel on the 40MHZ
Great video Ian, I've just ordered the Avata drone only option as I already have the DJI FPV v2 goggles and controller and have this FCC hack on the SD card in the goggles so will it just work with the Avata once I pair them up?
Is it working on fpv googles v2?
@@TudoRC41 yes
@@DroningaboutIreland nice, thx!!
Dji Guarantee and Dji Care are still valid after switching to FCC?
Good question.Did you find any answers?
Can I still be in auto mode after is done
I’ve done it to my fpv and it’s working
Next avata when come end of this week
Thx
Hello thanks for that.Can I ask you how you reset your goggles if you want back to CE mode??
Yes just reset all settings.
Brilliant! Thanks, Ian! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
does this still work, as i have used this in the past but now am using the v2 googles mostly with my o3 system so i had to update them to the version which would allow all 4 systems on the same v2 goggles, but now when i try to go and use my DJI FPV it only has the one channel . ?
Hey thanks for the content its very helpful. I'm new to the FCC hack world and have been looking today. I just checked mine and it is showing 2 channels before I have tried to do the hack. Is this something new? I had to update firmware today due to adding a motion controller. Do you know of any changes?
I have the drone-hacks hack installed on my FPV drone. This only goes on the drone, not the goggles or RC. My question is this: Does this Ham.cig file improve/affect the googles over and above their native state with respect to transmission/reception or is that entirely down to te hack on the drone? I’m confused as to which component is actually ‘wagging the dog’, so to speak. Cheers if anybody knows.
good question!
All parts of the system increase output. So goggles RC and Drone.
@@MadRC Thanks but that doesn't specifically answer the question. Are you saying that the Ham file boosts the goggles and RC, but the drone-hacks desktop hack doesn't?
From the 3 channels available, I see you choosing Channel 3... is chanel 3 the FCC one?
Yeah this part is unclear to me as well
Saw Mad respond that you can just leave it in Auto
As I’m very new to this fpv system will this hack invalidate any warranty or DJI refresh. Or is it simply reset the goggles and wipe the sd card before sending away for a repair if required
Yea just reset.
Thank you finally this works :)
What does it mean if I see four channels instead of three? I have DJI FPV drone. Is it FCC or CE mode?
It’s FCC. There is a some little differences between the FPV Drone and Avata on this.
Hi one more question about the fcc hack. Have just got my avata and goggles 2. Have updated all firmware.
Will the hack work with the latest goggle firmware? Thanks
hi mate, do i switch it back to auto or leave it in manual mode on the goggles? thxs
You can use either I does not affect the fcc at all
cheers dude@@MadRC
