How it works
The CurveRC FCO2 I/F miniature interface enables remote shutter control of the Flycamone V2 video camera using a spare channel on your Tx. The interface connects directly to the Flycamone V2 'hot shoe' mount and works by connecting pin 1 ('signal') to pin 3 ('ground') of the hot shoe mount, as expected by the Flycamone V2.
When power is first connected, the CurveRC FCO2 I/F will do a short self-test and flash the RED led. It will then check for a valid Tx signal on the spare Rx channel output. Assuming a valid signal is detected, and the Tx switch/slider is in the correct (Centre or OFF) position, the CurveRC FCO2 I/F will calibrate to this signal and the GREEN led will turn on indicating that the CurveRC FCO2 I/F is in 'Ready' mode.
The Flycamone V2 is then turned on in the usual manner, and the Flycamone V2 MODE switch used to select the appropriate recording mode, eg VR, VL, PR etc. You are now ready to fly, and the CurveRC FCO2 I/F will take care of turning on and off the shutter via the Tx. The CurveRC FCO2 I/F LED indicates the shutter status: GREEN (Ready) -- RED (Record).
