RunCam FPV Setup
#1
Curious how I need to setup my fpv cam if anybody can help me out(videos/diagrams, whatever tbh), I have a Cleanflight SP Racing F3 ACRO flight controller and the RunCam Swift2-BL-L25-P and can't seem to find any videos with this combo, here are pictures with everything that came with it(except the antenna, that I bought separate)...

As there is no OSD on the SP Racing F3 V1 flight controller you just need to wire the camera directly to the VTX. You will get basic OSD from the RunCam Swift itself such as battery voltage but you won't be able to get the full suite of Cleanflight / Betaflight OSD elements with that old flight controller.

Which VTX do you have?

I guess back two years ago when I bought the parts for this drone I wasn't fully aware of all the parts needed and didn't buy a VTX, what would you guys recommend for a VTX?

TBS Unify is always a popular one. But Oscar has a run down of recommended VTX.

JB has his list too.

BTW, you don't have to buy the most expensive TBS that these guys recommend. Any TBS is pretty good.

I want to add that I like my Matek VTX.

So I got a VTX, I looked all over and from what I saw this was the #1 best VTX, I realize it's normally personal preference for what is the truly best but with me being new to it all I went with what the charts say to be the best, curious if any of you guys could share a couple photo diagrams of wiring from vtx to my SP Racing F3 ACRO flight controller, also I have a RunCam Swift 2 so I was wondering if there's specific connections and wiring with that as well, appreciate all the help, truly awesome

To wire to SpRacingF3, you only need supply the VTX with lipo voltage (VCC), ground and wire Smartaudio to UART2 TX. All the connections you need is circled.

There is no OSD on the FC.

Turn the Smartaudio in peripheral for port 2.
