The first step to wiring your camera and transmitter is to install servo connectors on the wire harnesses that
came with these components, if they don’t have them already. Servo connectors and crimpers are available
online or at your local hobby store. Either Futaba™ or JR™ style connectors will work.
Refer to the figure at right.
Consult the manuals for your
camera and video transmitter,
identify the signal, power and
ground wires, and install the servo
connectors on these wires.
Alternatively, FPV shops like
supply Vector compatible servo
adapter cables for most cameras
and video transmitters.
Make sure the polarity of the servo connector is correct, so that the “S, + and –” pins of the connector
align correctly the “S, + and –” pins of the mating female connector on the video harness!
If you are using a camera with a built-in battery, such as a GoPro™, the power servo lead does not need
to be connected.
Referring to the video harness diagram below, connect the camera’s servo connector to camera connector “F”,
and the video transmitter’s servo connector to transmitter connector “C” on the video harness.
Inside the Vector, the red wire of the camera power connector “D” is internally connected to the red
wire of the camera connector “F”, and the red wire of transmitter power connector “E” is internally connected
to the red wire of transmitter connector “C”. Also, all ground (black) wires are internally connected in the
Vector.

Powering your video equipment is typically very easy with the Vector.
