Fatshark Modules on a $50 FPV Goggle!! // Eachine EV800 Fatshark Mod

[@francoislanglois4642]

You should have stick the step-up power wire input on the Rx power pad, instead of going on the batt connector. This way the module is powered ON with EV800's Power switch. Awesome video.

[@blackafiq]

Nice Mod! You could also use the AV input as the video output without needing to remove the original video receiver

[@xgg_fpv]

yes and i found the av input trace to ground that you can cut

[@bapackbapackgabut2116]

Can u show the wiring?

[@jabonloco]

Made the same on mine, but used a pro58 with Achilles and installed it inside. Works great!

[@Daniel-ij9mz]

Hi mate, did you notice a big improvement on the range? I still doubt whether to install a Pro58 or a GE-FPV RX5808 Pro...

[@jabonloco]

@@Daniel-ij9mz yes but not worth the effort tbh.

[@dickysoeliantoro5576]

Did you do the pro58 osd mod Mate? Using resistors. And will osd mod works this way?

[@jabonloco]

@@dickysoeliantoro5576 yes, and it worked ok.

[@dickysoeliantoro5576]

Allrighty, let me try. Thanks Mate.

[@PohaaMax]

can emax goggle transporter use this type of modification also?

[@RCinginSC]

Just needs a power switch for the module or else you have to unplug it everytime. Such a simple mod. Thx

[@Enderkruemel]

Or just Use the Power of the original resiver, that can switched on and off.

[@pradaEJ6]

So is the fatshark module always on as you soldered it to the battery? Surely you could solder it to ground and power where you solder the video? This would turn fatshark module on when power button is turned on?

[@a_C_]

I got a EV800 for couple months, still struggle to get the FatShark and this is a great mod for temporary upgrade. Where's the link for the capacitor? Want to make sure I got the right one. Thanks.

[@ArchmageAU]

Good work. Any reason to not power the 5V regulator from the disconnected internal module power pins? This way the module will only be powered when the goggles are turned on instead of all the time the battery is plugged in.

[@AlexanderKaldiris]

I would also like to know if this could work without any problems! sound really straight forward

[@kral5932]

Awesome! Definetely looking forward to the ev800d mod as I have those.

[@mikeexplorer7893]

is there any advantage modifying ev800d to have diversity modules considering that ev800d is already a diversity?

[@kral5932]

Michael Jeffrey Esteban it's too use 2.4 or 1.3 modules

[@yokonunz]

Be aware that some EV800 have battery wire color swapped! black=+3.7V! Also this will kill the battery leaving the fatshark module plugged when the goggles turns off. Be aware of this too!

[@TheMadmacs]

good thinking batman

[@adhvikchandran634]

Will it be possible to add a switch at the 5v pad on the inbuilt module so we can switch between the external module and the internal one?

[@nikolabalint49]

Can you post new fatshark module, link is broken, or can you give full module name? Thank you

[@TheMadmacs]

cool mod, i like how you can easily reverse the mod so you could buy the fatshark module and then buy the fatsharks later to spread the costs and still have the ev800 as a ground station. i dont think its worth doing on the ev800d's, the diversity is already very good and it has a dvr, the 800d also has av in which i never got to work at all, . ps i added a inch section to make the goggles 2 inches longer, to reduce eyestrain.

[@TheMadmacs]

2 inch section

[@CarlosGutierrez-cp2oe]

Thanks for the video! I made this hack and having a problem, video works great but when a turn on the radio I get interferences in the video signal. I tried shieled wires but didn't work. Any idea what to check?

[@Braincho]

Is DVR in the goggles or in the module? I mean if we replace it as you did will we keep the DVR function?(I have EV800D) Also are the modules that much better than original rx - worth changing?

[@TheLazyRocket]

I mean cool but why? And you should have powered up your 5v reg after the power button so its not always powered when plugged in

[@ValFPV]

For better range I guess

[@natewelchwr]

Why wouldn't you be able to use that original sma connector for say an omni... Would it just not work at all?

[@Coreycry]

The screen is massive you have to give these goggles at least that.. But with good reception (original reception sucks massive btw) these are the cheapest-highend spectator goggles.

[@adhvikchandran634]

Any chance you could make a jr - module mod for the fs i6?

[@dickysoeliantoro5576]

I have this makerfire ev800d. I know this is the clone one, and lower quality. Opened it up, it only has had 1 receiver with 2 antenna (antenna diversity i belive some people called it). Removed the receiver, but when i powered pro58 receiver to power pad from the removed receiver. The google keep powering down. I bought step up to 5V and some micro on off switch, they are still in transit. Going to connect to battery socket on the board. And using on off switch to switch the receiver on off. So it won't suck dry the battery when goggle is off.

[@dickysoeliantoro5576]

Is there any way i can power the pro58 without connecting to batt socket directly?

[@KrotowX]

Would like to have EV800 receiver and/or board layout pinout for similar mod. Maybe you have it?

[@user-tz3cc2oc4x]

Hey, could you do the same as with the ev800diversity ones? Having on the AV the fatshark module?

[@mikeexplorer7893]

Is there any advantage modifying ev800d to have diversity modules considering that ev800d is already a diversity?

[@krisjanisvanags6864]

The modules are better all together

[@idaveuk]

The link for the module is now sold out where do you get them from now ?????

[@Enderkruemel]

Or just Use the Video input of the headphone Jack (3,5mm). Press the Menu Button,and the Display turns blue. Than connect Gnd and you Videosignal to it. (it comes whith an Adapter for this use) I think 5v is connected to the resiver Module, But im Not sure, i moddet Mine and Put an dvr in. Also i used the Power that is connected to the original resiver Module, becourse it can be tuned off. If i would Put a fatshark Module in i would desolder the working resiver Module and solder the original antenna connector on it,so i can use it for something else.

[@pratap3369]

what do you recommend EV800 with your mod or EV800D?,one could get EV800, Pro 58 RX and DVR or EV800D for the same price

[@DroneMesh]

I just received the ev800d and ev800 4 hours before releasing this video. I have not even opened the ev800d yet so I can not answer your question just yet.

[@pratap3369]

So I'm gonna have to wait for your next video,so be it.But try to remember my comment and give your thoughts on it.Some of the people wanted to know

[@pablofpv]

I had both ,EV800D is better option ,I did MOD my EV800 and installed a DVR .Both are very good value and excellent receivers ,but the D has the edge for DVR and diversity. I use 1 x Aomway and 1 x Omni Pagoda Antenna's and honestly for me this gives best reception even behind hedge rows and tree's ,top tip be careful with the push buttons as they are very small SMD type and are very difficult to replace.Also fit a 1500mAh lipo on the rear head strap ,just stitch on some elastic and this will balance out the goggles perfectly.

[@pablofpv]

Leave the internal battery in place and just use the power cable provided and route the wire to lipo on the rear of the strap.

[@SergyFPV]

@@pablofpv do you use 2s Lipo 1500 mah or 1s as extern battery ?

[@matthewbradder1819]

I'm going to give this a go soon, will it be the same if using a rapidfire module?

[@Fliptality]

how can we find out which pins to use on the MCU and on the existing receiver? if we want to do the mod on other goggles. asking for a friend ^^

[@AlexanderKaldiris]

Could you tell us where we should solder the audio pin from receiver in order to have audio too? It would be highly appreciated. Also could we get power from the old receiver in order to power on and off the module with the button? Thank you in advance!

[@topcgcfacts4762]

After this upgrade what would the Max range be? Can it go 1 mile?

[@billdor121]

Not bad, think my ev800's will be getting an Achilles upgrade now. Though I do wish we could use the channel and band buttons to select things on the new receiver

[@AlbertoCastro-hf6jb]

just like in the EV800D, can you not interchange between the Fatshark module and onboard?

[@Qubnix]

What do you think about AKK Diversity module? Is it good and will be better than this that you used?

[@pavervideosps]

and the battery has the same duration?

[@lptrung]

awesome, can you testing long range

[@tanoryjakaperdana1419]

1 question, EV800 have AV Input Port on the right side, so why dont you connect the Realacc RX5808 to the port?

[@RedLineRush]

Can we do a external monitor mod on this goggles

[@MrCoaster36]

I'm new to fpv. What's the point of adding the fatshark module to these goggles? What does it add?

[@DroneMesh]

Flexibility , Better coverage, future proof and more.

[@shubhamsaboo9206]

Can a similar mod be done for FatShark Recon V3?

[@toddbeal4373]

Hey man, I did this mod, and the DVR mod with it. You have to keep the battery inside it tho bc of how much juice its pulling with the diversity mod and dvr. Did the audio for head phones. And I even did the display for the DVR screen. Took some thinking about the DVR menu screen. I had to use 2 of the 5v things you have, and it was really hard to find another spot to use for it, after like 2 hrs of trying I found one. If you need some pics I'll send them to you

[@kd9432]

What do u feel like the best advantage to this? Do u get better range?

[@Birdines]

Wow the board is very Different to the EV800D. What is your opinion about using the AV input for the Mod in the EV800D ?

[@z00n]

Is it possible to connect the step-up converter after the "power button"?

[@joestubbs3138]

Will this mod work on the Eachine VR007 Pro Goggles ...joe

[@tch3rry1]

Hey I'm using 2s and 3s to power my goggles. What I still need the power converter that your soldering in?

[@Qubnix]

What do you think, what is better, buying Eachine EV800D goggles or EV800 and external diversity module?

[@ValFPV]

Ev800d, much nicer because everything is inside the goggles

[@goesboom5416]

Can we do this on recon v3s?

[@thibaultmonnet7874]

Do you think it can be possible with EV 500 ?

Can I do this and not kill the onboard system

Please help iv looked everywhere and can't figure out if it's possible to replace that rpsma on ev800 with an sma plug instead. Rpsma is hard to find in all varieties

can install in fatshark attitude v1?

Yes

[@DroneMesh]

But you need to route the audio from module to audio port

[@j.r.0420]

@@DroneMesh So why didn't you use the 5v from the internal receiver?

[@hetlarfje]

The reception on my ev800D was better as the reception of my hd3's with furious true d module, so this is a waste of time and money imo.

[@mikeexplorer7893]

is there any advantage modifying ev800d to have diversity modules considering that ev800d is already a diversity?

[@DrSoundcheck]

Nope, this is not waste of time because him modified non diversity ev800 with singe antenna, they are half price around 70e when ev800d is 140e something like that
