First off, this mod is credited to Jason Cole and Zandoli from RCGroups. Thanks guys!
I wanted to take it a step further and post a sort of summary or all-in-one post here and possibly save someone a bit of reading and offer some easy to follow pics and a simple wiring diagram.
If you do damage the foam body Banggood has replacements Also dont forget to remove the antenna locknuts I used an old credit card to help separate the foam and expose the goodies inside. Once inside I unplugged the receiver from the LCD panel leaving the pigtail/wires attached to the Rx.
First wire from the right is your audio, the second wire from the right is video (out from Rx, in to LCD) 5v and ground are found on the rectangular pads near the top of the pcb.
We only use 5 wires from the DVR. 5v, Ground, Vin, Vout, and Audio (optional). Supplying power should be self explanatory Next splice your Audio(in) to the Audio coming from the Rx (first wire from right) Now is a good time to decide where you would like your switch. After that, split the video(out) coming from Rx and connect one to the video(in) of the DVR, the other to one pole of your switch (this will be your "OSD OFF" postion) Next we connect the center pole of the switch (now our Vout) to the video(in) wire going to the LCD panel. Last is to connect the Vout from the DVR to the last pole of the switch (this will be your "OSD ON" position)
Insulate everything, add some hotglue to the power wires on the pcb, and start fitting things back in place.
I filled the cavity behind the switch with hotglue to keep it secured. Feed wires through the shell to fit your needs, mine will be hidden behind the DVR unit so I made a small hole in the center front of the top shell. Vent holes can be used if you do not want to make a new one then prep shell haves with contact cement, let dry per directions, and clamp it up to set/cure.
Plug in the DVR and add some good double sided tape to the back. Position to your liking and pat yourself on the back! Job well done
With the switch OFF enjoy your flight without adding latency and still record.
Turn switch to ON for setup or changing settings and for instant playback to help find a lost quad ect.
Here is the RCgroups link to where I gathered my info. Thanks again guys, works great!
