* 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:

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.freeflysystems.com/ecosystem/payloads/fpv-camera.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
