Warning: Current Input ≥1A (Don’t power by VTx)

FPV Flight Controller Setup

  • Joystick Control
  • FPV OSD Menu
  • FPV camera supports Joystick Control and UART Control. The top left corner of the screen will shortly display the current control mode. The default is Joystick control

mode. You can switch the mode via the below way:

  1. Short the two camera control pins (TX and RX on board as shown in below picture)
  2. Then power on, and the camera will auto-switch between the two modes. The mode can be saved after the power is off.
  3. After switching to the desired mode, please unplug the short-circuit cable.

UART Control works with Flight Controllers: BetaFlight 3.3 or above / ButterFlight 3.4 or above / CleanFlight 2.2 or above

Joystick Control

FPV OSD Menu

  • JOYSTICK CTRL: The camera is under Joystick Control and the icon remains for 5 seconds.
  • CARD ERROR: Card error or no SD card
  • CARD FULL: SD card is full
  • 4K 30FPS: Current video resolution, remains for 10 seconds
  • Quick Setting (Long press the upper button to enter the menu)
  • Press the middle button to switch ON / OFF
  • CLR: Clear RUN CAM logo or pilot’s name
  • POS: Move to POS to adjust the position
  • SHARP VIEW: Turn on, it will increase the image details, but also noise
  • WIDESCREEN: Switch image ratio between 16:9 and 4:3.
  • SYSTEM: Press the middle button to switch NTSC/PAL. It will work only after you exit the menu and reboot.
  • EXIT: Exit and saved.

UART Control

  1. 1. Flight controller wiring (Take UART3 for example)
  2. Betaflight 3.3 or above setting

Just need to choose “Camera (RunCam Protocol)” on UART 3 as shown in the below screenshot.

  1. UART Control (Operate with your remote controller. Yellow icon to indicate bar operation direction. Black dot means centering control )
  • When connected, The buzzer on Flight Controller will beep 3 times; When disconnected, The buzzer on Flight Controller will beep 2 times only; If connected successfully, you can long press the up button to enter the OSD menu, and right button to switch preset scenes, left button to calibrate voltage and down button to reset OSD.

Camera Menu

  • MODE (MWB/ATW)
  • VIDEO STANDARD (PAL/NTSC)
  • IMAGE RATIO (4:3 /16:9)
  • EXPOSURE MODE (BLC/ GLOBE)
  • MODE (COLOR / BW / EXT / AUTO)
  • CONTRAST (MANUAL/AUTO)
  • SHARPNESS (MANUAL/AUTO)
  • COLOR GAIN (MANUAL/AUTO)

HD Flight Controller Set

Preparation

  • Firmware: BetaFlight Firmware (≥3.2.0),CleanFlight Firmware(≥2.1.0) ,
  • KISS Firmware (≥1.3-RC30) or INAV Firmware (≥1.7.3).
  • Any available UART interface on the Flight Controller
  1. Connect the RunCam Hybrid with the UART interface of the Flight Controller

Make the Flight Controller recognize the RunCam HybridFor example, we connect the RunCam Hybrid to the UART 5 interface on the Flight Controller: connect the Flight Controller to the computer, then open the configurator software of the Flight Controller. (Open up the configurator that matches the firmware you are running, Betaflight Configurator for Betaflight, Cleanflight Configurator for Cleanflight). In the Peripherals column of the line UART 5 (on the Ports tab), select Camera (RunCam Protocol) and click Save And Reboot.

 

  1. Instructions on the functions of the camera and assigning transmitter channels to them
  • In the Flight Controller Configurator, navigate to the Modes tab. There are new CAMERA WI-FI, CAMERA POWER, and CAMERA CHANGE modes
  • Assign any available channel to the function you need, for example:
  • CAMERA POWER: start/stop the video. When in the OSD of the camera, this is used to move to the next menu item.
  • CAMERA CHANGE MODE: Switch between the recording mode and the QR code setting mode.
  • Assign the AUX2 to the CAMERA POWER, range 1900-2100
  • Assign the AUX3 to the CAMERA CHANGE MODE, range 1900-2100

Assign the channel to the switch of the controller

Please choose your Model on the controller, then access the MIXER interface and assign the channel to the switch of the controller. Take opentx 2.2.0 for example, assign the channels CH5, CH6 and CH7 to SA, SB and SD respectively

Test

Power the Flight Controller and the RunCam Hybrid

  • Set the SA to the bottom, and the camera starts/stops the video
  • Set the SD to the bottom, and
  • the camera switches among the two modes: video and OSD setting mode
