Somehow managed to delete my original post.
Anyway - I'm into photography. Recently bought a phantom 4 and while researching quad stuff came across the tiny whoop. Didn't really want to lay out cash for a transmitter controller so saw your post about this quad and decided to take advantage of banggoods sale and by the eachine e010, the fx798t and the eachine ev800 goggles.
I was hoping you could give me some help connecting a fx798t camera to the eachine e010?
I'm a total rookie. I've literally only got a soldering iron from working on old lenses years ago. No voltmeter, soldering pins etc. Any help you could give me would be massively appreciated. The more specific the better cause I have no idea what I'm doing but am excited to give it a try.
A couple more questions.
- Should I replace the antenna on the eachine ev800 goggles? If so with what? Do you have any recommendation? - I don't have a volt meter so not sure which terminal is which. Hence I guess I need to know which colour cable needs to go where. - just looking at your 3D printed stuff. Any chance you could print some of those transmitter stick mods as well as camera mount? And do you post to Australia.
Sorry for the layman questions. I'm just starting to get my head around it all. Your blog and posts here have been super helpful.
After I try my hands at this I might have a go at your whoopee build.

Hi,
If you remove top cover of E010 you can see on back solder points of battery connector. Left pad is positive, so your fx798t red wire goes to left pad. Right pad is then negative so black wire goes on that.
About antenna.. Seems that goggles uses RP-SMA connector. Since fx798t has clover antenna and goggles has stick antenna there can be issue on range, I have not tested such combination, but for sure you will get picture into your goggles. Try it first and get clover-antenna later if needed, but remember to choose antenna with RP-SMA connector.
Hi,
because I have also H8 mini, I decided to replace battery connector of E010 to be able to use same batteries. I am using Nanotech's <-- link. If you get those batteries...be careful as polarity is wrong for H8 mini and E010, if you solder connector same way like I did. You can change polarity of battery connector easy.

Thanks so much for this info, the photo's are really helpful!
*edit* Just a thought, I have heard people talking about the ducted fans / shrouded props on these inductrix style quads just acting as prop guards and providing minimal if any added efficiency, I guess due to the gap between prop and shroud..? A couple of coats of nail polish or tip-ex to the tips of the props will close those gaps a bit and add... well maybe something!?
if you nibble off a few small sections of the internal frame it will actually fit down between the ducts, but you do have to put it in upside down and make a special usb cable to get it hooked up to a PC.. been playing with the pids on mine today... flying pretty good now.
