In our first installment of Ask FlyingMonkey forum user davcrockett asks...
So what he's asking is if the new micro all in one FPV camera/transmitter from Fat Shark sold by Horizon will work with a non Fat Shark 8 channel rx.
This is an excellent question. The short answer is.... maybe.
The longer answer is not likely. The 5.8 gHz band for FPV is using 32 channels. Out of those channels the Fat Shark/Immersion equipment uses 7. Those are 5740, 5760, 5780, 5800, 5820, 5840, and 5860MHz.
Most of the ones I have found that list the channels 5725-5865MHz show that they use the channels 5645, 5665, 5685, 5705, 5885, 5905, 5925, and 5945.
To stay on the safe side I would look for a receiver that has 32 channels. But even that is not a guarantee.
From what I've been hearing, Immersion (the company that makes the electronics for Fat Shark transmitters) has not been playing well with equipment from other brands. I don't know if they've started encoding their systems so that they only work with other Fat Shark/Immersion gear, but that seems to be the effect.
I'm still using the older Fat Shark transmitters, and they're still working with my off brand receivers. So unfortunately I can not answer your question more accurately from experience.
There's not much information online, but I did find that in the Q&A section of the Horizon's page for the camera someone asked if it would work with the Skyzone goggles and the answers there were yes. So that suggests it should work with any 32 channel receiver.
