For those with the XplorerHD V.1, we now offer a splitter cable option so you do not have to remove the VTX cable to extract videos from your VTX.


This Y-Cable will allow you to have the USB-C adapter connected at all times.


This would be very convenient as you can mount the USB-C adapter to your existing setup for easy video extraction.


Here is how to install it.






DISCLAIMER: For those who have the V.2, (USB-C port integrated to the bottom plate) this cable will NOT work.



Removing Old Cable

It is the middle plug. Hold both wires and pull "gently" until it unplugs

Now, hold onto both wires attached to the connector that is attached to the VTX and pull gently until it comes out. (The pins inside the VTX are very fragile!)
