R/C (Uplink) Receiver Selection
The Vortex 150 Mini is shipped with three receiver interface cables, supporting 4 commonly used interfaces.
a) 3-Pin 0.1” Servo Cable, for S-Bus, and CPPM (5V)
b) 5-pin Picoblade for FrSky XSR receivers (5V)
c) 3-pin JST-ZH for Spektrum DSMX receivers (3V)
Receivers may be mounted externally on the tail-end of the quad, or internally. Internally is definitely the preferred
solution but does require a suitably small receiver.
The following are recommended for internal installation:
1) FrSky
XSR
, using the supplied XSR cable
2) FrSky
X4R-SB
, ‘Naked’ version with SBus output
Requires some soldering to wire sbus cable
3) Spektrum
SPM4648
Auto-bind receiver with supplied DSMX cable
Remove plastic case and heat-shrink for optimal fit
4) Spektrum
SPM9646
Carbon fuse receiver
5) Spektrum
SPM9649T
Telemetry receiver
To access the receiver bay for internal receiver mounting, remove the 8 screws which secure the top plate to the
arms, and carefully remove the top assembly, which includes the camera unit.
The receiver connector is indicated by the red arrow below. To mount the receiver, a small piece of double-sided
tape may be used on the top of the metal can in the receiver bay.
Finally, the receiver antennas may be routed through the two notches in the bottom of the LED diffuser.
