hi all

I have to old run cam swift Which has just died I’m wanting to get the rotor riot swift 2 and I have noticed they have different conctors the swift 2 having more cables and a bigger connector will it be a simple install

Thanks
 
Yes, you can connect the same as your old swift. There is one extra blue wire, that just gets connected to the positive side of your battery for OSD. The port with the 2 wire plug is for plugging in the programming board.
 
That’s great guys thank you

My other question is that my current swift is connected through the F.C. do I need to connect the new one through the flight controller or can I just connect it straight to the Vtx
Thanks

The only thing I've done differently in my wiring is that I have the Swift connected to the 5 volt out of the vtx instead of to the pdb
 
Ok that’s great but being a noob if I was to follow the above image would this be ok I don’t think I’ll bother with the mic as I see not real benefit for me at the moment.

I my even use the 3 pin connector that comes with the swift 2 and not use the vbat would this be ok

Thanks
 
That'll work fine, the only reason I power the camera from the vtx is that I know I'm getting clean filtered power. I don't know what PDB you are using, but if it's just supplying straight unfiltered power, it may cause a bit of video distortion.
 
I’m not sure what PDB it is. I brought the quad second hand. But I don’t get any issues as it is so I’m hoping it will be ok looking at the drawing will my vtx power my cam

Thanks
