* Mount the FPV module to the front of Astro with two M3x12 FHCS fasteners, which are included in the FPV kit. These use the red hex driver, included with Astro.
* Plug the cable into the USB-C port on the Astro IO panel
* Upgrade your Astro firmware to 1.5 or later

{% hint style="success" %}
The FPV module can stay on Astro while folded up in the case!
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
If you're having trouble getting video, make sure the USB-C cable is fully plugged in
{% endhint %}

#### USB-C Thumb Drive Port

* Plug in your USB-C thumb drive to the port on the front of the module
* Under camera settings, you should see the thumb drive icon light up and the storage change to the available space on the drive.

{% hint style="info" %}
You can only save images/video from the FPV camera on to an external USB drive
{% endhint %}

### FPV Module Variants

We offer two variants of the FPV module for Astro. The variant with a notch on the front cover is NDAA compliant. You can identify which variant you have by the small notch below the lens:
