Just started with the FatSharks DomV3's and could not figure this out... Thank you so much for the clear and concise instructions! Thanks again for all the tips, reviews and everything you do!! :)

[@L8again902]

Thanks for this. Wasn't able to use the DVR at all, but once I got into the menu, all started working correctly.

[@2beerDave]

Thank you! I have been trying to figure out the DVR and the manual isn't really straight forward. Now the DVR is working perfect.

[@user-ny8rt5on3b]

i learn from you a lot....you are the best.....thanks a lot man.

[@badgolf1]

This helped me...i was lost...works great now!!!! Thanks

[@beachcomber52]

Thanks so much for posting this.

[@HandofTheQueenakaJesse]

Thanks again Painless!

[@blaz1925]

Good video I have wavy lines and my receiver is turned off sometime it's ok then the wavy lines come back

[@FarmerFpv]

love it thank you sir :)

[@rabunfpv]

Initially I used the Furious True D module in this way and it worked, but after I replaced the module with Rapidfire, it wasn't able to playback the DVR. What do I have to do so that the playback DVR can function again? Thakn you

[@fpvdream7161]

Thanks very much 👍

[@KarkoOO]

That is also how to turn it off so you can use the hdmi input from your computer to play liftoff.

[@Painless360]

Great tip - thanks!

[@stephenclute]

Hey there, thanks for the many videos and great work. I am having a problem with my Dominator V2's, specifically the DVR. It's tiny whoop season for me, and its my first time attempting to find the menu and use the DVR on my goggles, but I'm not able to get the menu to show up. I have tried plugging my goggles in with the Rx both in and out, long pressing the DVR menu button. Nothing happens, it either shows the snow youd expect with the Rx in, and the black screen for when its off. The red light is on where the SD card slot is when I power up my goggles as well... not sure if that matters, but its the only difference between what I'm doing and what I'm seeing here... Any ideas of what I'm not doing or am doing wrong?

[@Painless360]

+Stephen Clute we just press the DVR button for a few seconds to enter playback mode..

[@fizzer914]

thank u sir!

[@2TRICK]

cool thanks!

[@steady747]

Great video as always. I get a lot out of your channel. I have a problem, I hope you can help me with. My FS DVR records just fine, but I am getting lots of audio noise on playback. My tx/cam does not have audio, but I am getting audio feedback. Am I doing something wrong?

[@Painless360]

That's normal if you don't have audio from the model..

[@isaacmaxpaul]

Im having trouble recording DVR footage via the HDMI, do you know if a person can? The footage I get out is just a black screen and static noise. Thank you!

[@Painless360]

I don't think that is possible. Best of luck

[@bwmfstutz9962]

Can you delete files in playback

[@spencertupy6377]

I just bought my goggles not too long ago and I couldn't get the playback menu to appear when I'd hold the little stick down. Help?

[@Painless360]

It should be as easy as holding down the little button for about 3 seconds. If it's not working then you need to contact the vendor in case there is a problem. Best of luck with it..

[@kyaelectronics6106]

1. You plug in battery 2. Turn off RX 3. You press button and hold 3 second, until led RED will ON then liberated 4. You press button again until playback show 🖒

[@JohnathanVail]

So with module turned off it "works" but the DVR display is not very sharp. This is with True-D module. Is this normal or something to do to get better playback? (it isn't bad recording it is the display including the DVR menus)

[@colazo25]

hi. i have the same problem. fatshark hd3 and true d module. Not getting clear dvr at all. I the video you switch the receiver off and the picture comes clear. when i open the receiver my dvr is clear but for couple of second only. do you have any idea what is going on ?

[@da33ie]

Hi. Ive just purchased the Dominator HD3 goggles, and im trying to connect to my lappy. Cant find any vids that help with initial setup, is there a menu for settings to view? Plus i want to connect a camera to it

[@Painless360]

There isn't a 'menu' as such. Just a simple switch between the internal analogue receiver, the AV cable and the HDMI input. Best of luck

[@da33ie]

Cheers for swift reply. Sounds much the same as my attitude v2 but with hdmi.

[@Painless360]

Pretty much, FatShark wasn't really adding a lot of 'new stuff'' in terms of the capability of the goggles outside of the improvements to the optics and screens..

[@kubaistube]

Great, that´s what I needed :D. I simply did not know about that tiny switch on the bottom. Would you have design for that amazing 3d printed grip for screwing the antenna on?

[@Painless360]

Yep, on Thingiverse. It's not mine but you can get to it through my pages (Painless360) as it's one of the few designs I've liked.. Happy flying!

[@kubaistube]

I just can´t find it neither on your page nor through search. Only here somebody has it on photo, but file is missing www.thingiverse.com/thing:1401647 I also found such design, that has same purpose just not as nice looking www.thingiverse.com/thing:1145242

[@Painless360]

Check out my Likes (there are only 6 ;) www.thingiverse.com/thing:266048

[@kubaistube]

Thanks a lot!

[@MuhammadRizkiPratama]

Could you do fastforward and rewind when playback the dvr footage?

[@SQuiDFPV]

Yes.

[@michaelsinner1182]

press the ANALOG RECORD button to the right for "play", up vor fastforward and down for rewind.

[@lubricantrc3244]

my sd card will not format in the goggles l, what am I doing wrong ?

[@Painless360]

Format it in a computer or try another card. Contact the seller for help. Best of luck!

[@agungwaw]

what should i do if the red led didn't turn on?

[@Painless360]

No idea, what have you tried?

[@OZSCQUADS]

nice tip. would you have a tip on how to get the SD card out easily? or to get files off the SD while it is still in the goggles?

[@Painless360]

I use a broken prop I keep in the case - works great! ;)

[@OZSCQUADS]

ah.. nice. thank you... it is just so hard to get out if you don`t have fingernails...

[@Painless360]

It is - the fan on these wasn't designed for those of us that chew their nails ;)

[@Cornflakes691]

now how do you turn it off and get rid if that red light?

[@Painless360]

+Michael M I unplug the power for a few seconds;)

[@supfpv]

Just toggle left until it goes away

[@SyncedCyberSoule]

I try to actually play the video back and it just beeps and doesn't start it. What do I do?

[@StasysFPV]

for me as well - nothing

[@trullsfpv855]

My dvr is sometimes not working...

[@supfpv]

Dont press it down, you gotta press it to the right

[@ThrillHouse7]

great tutorial! please do one on using and external reciever with the goggles. i have been fooling around with trying to get it to work and have had zero success with it.

[@Painless360]

Again - turn off the internal Rx to use the HDMI input. Best of luck!

[@ThrillHouse7]

Use the HDMI input from an external video receiver?

[@GiffysChannel]

For some reason, my RX doesn't turn off

[@michaelsinner1182]

same for mine. I use a rapidfire module. Perhaps this is the reason.

[@GiffysChannel]

@@michaelsinner1182 did you know if it's been modified. I bought mine from ebay and the previous owner modified it to allow full power to the rapidfire module. I'm thinking this may be the cause of my issue.

[@michaelsinner1182]

@@GiffysChannel i modified it for not beeing in low power mode (cable to the other side). Perhaps it's because the gets power of two sources.

[@MultiHardPlay]

Hello Painless360 , my nome is Heitor from Brazil . I just bought an APM 2.8 from ebay with the intention of building an arduplane. I wonder if could record a how to video showing the auto-tune and auto-trim . Please , bear with my english and thank you .

[@nersfpv69]

how to solve the fatshark menu that can't appear ?

[@Painless360]

No idea, I've not seen that..

[@terracoon9882]

i have the same problem, did you solve it?

[@slyoldfox11]

Thanks for that was having a nightmare till you helped....

[@Painless360]

Glad it did!

[@djklermundable]

WOW that's a horrible way to have to use the feature! So glad my Skyzone goggles do that automatically.

[@blackmennewstyle]

Not really an user-friendly process! For the amount of money, people could also expect some better user interface engineering! Thanks for sharing and have a great week

[@Silor]

Is there any better options?

[@djklermundable]

+Silweror I love my skyzones. Diversity, DVR, front camera, 40ch, better resolution than the HD2s, and now are cheaper too. With built in head tracker and ability to do 3d.

[@Painless360]

Everyone has their favourite and you'll get as many answers as pilots ;)

[@djklermundable]

+Painless360 Very true lol, I would LOVE to see YOU do a side by side of the fatsharks and the Skyzone as your videos are so full of good details and insight we don't get elsewhere. Thanks soo much.

[@Painless360]

If we get our hands on the Skyzone we sure will! Happy flying!

[@michealwithington]

Thanks very much for that I was wondering how that worked.
