Introduction

The CADDXFPV Vista is an advanced video transmission module that supports a 5.8GHz digital video signal and 720p 120fps image transmission, with a transmission range of up to 4 km and a minimum end-to-end latency within 28ms*. The vista can be mounted on a racing drone and used with DJI FPV Goggles or a remote controller to transmit video, control signals, and flight controller information wirelessly.

  2. 3-in-1 Port
  3. USB-C Port
  4. Linking Status Indicator
  5. Link Button
  6. Camera

*The end-to-end latency is the total time from camera input to screen display. The device is able to reach its minimum latency and maximum transmission distance (FCC) in a wide-open area with no electromagnetic interference.

Connection

Refer to the illustration below to mount and connect the vista to a racing drone.

3-in-1 Cable (Power, DJI HDL, UART)

RED: Power 7.4-26.4V
BLACK: Power GND
YELLOW: UART RX(Connects to Flight Controller OSD TX,0-3.3V)
WHITE: UART TX(Connects to Flight Controller OSD RX, O-3.3V)
BLACK: Signal GND YELLOW: DJI HDL(Connects to Flight Controller S.Bus, O-3.3V)

  • Electric soldering iron and soldering tin are required for connection. Make sure that there are no short circuits or open circuits when soldering the cable
  • There are up to eight channels for the Vista depending on the region (FCC: eight, CE/SRRC: four, MIC: three). Each channel has a bandwidth of 20 MHz. The public channel is 8, which is the default channel when the equipment is powered on. The channel can be changed manually to avoid interference from other devices.
  • **** The Vista may become hot during or after the operation. DO NOT touch the Vista before it cools down.
  • DO NOT use the Vista for an extended period when the temperature is high or there is poor ventilation. Otherwise, the Vista may overheat and enter low-power mode which will affect its performance. If the Vista enters low-power mode, restart it or wait for it to cool down and it will automatically return to normal.
  • Keep the Vista away from metal objects or carbon fiber frames.Make sure to choose a position where the transmission will not be blocked during flight.

Activation

When powered on, connected the vista to your computer and run DJI ASSIST ANTTm2 for activation.During the activation and upgrade process,there is a lot of heat.Please avoid direct contact to prevent burns. Overheating may lead to upgrading failure and unable to boot normally.You need to aware of the ambient temperature and use a fan to assist cooling. The warranty service does not support the crash caused by firmware refresh.

Linking

The vista support there linking methods: A. B, and A+B (Must link A before B).

  1. Power on the vista and the DJI FPV Goggles.

  2. Press the link button on the vista and the goggles.*

  3. The linking status indicator of the vista turns solid green. The goggles stop beeping when successfully linked and the video display is normal.

  4. Power on the vista and the DJI FPV Remote Controller.

  5. Press the link button on the vista, and then press the record button, C button, and right dial on the remote controller simultaneously.*

  6. Both the linking status indicators turn solid green when successfully linked.

  • When ready to link, the devices will give the following indication:
    Vista: the linking status indicator turns solid red.
    Goggles: the goggles beep continually. Remote controller: the remote controller beeps continually and the status indicator blinks blue.

OSD display settings

  1. After connecting the UART cable to the flight controller. take the Betaflight flight controller software setting as an example. Open the corresponding UART port and click save.
  2. Select telemetered and OSD.click save.
  3. Select the display content you need in the OSD page (some OSD are not supported, please wait for subsequent updates)
  4. Select Settings-Display-Custom OSD ON in DJI FPV Goggle
