I recommend adding kapton tape to entire back of the screen. The back of the screen looks like thin-steel or aluminum, and it's is conductive. One youtuber demonstrated in his battery mod video that this metal back is charged at something like 5v, so it causes bad interference if the screen touches the circuit board. (It was happening to me.) Yeah, so about 2 or 3 single layer pieces of kapton tape did the trick! (depending on the width of the tape. I think I have a roll of 2" wide kapton.) I hope this helps someone!
I used different approach. I stepped up power bank voltage from 5v to 12v and fed it to charging port of ev800d. All it takes a powerbank, usb cable and step up module. Works pretty well.
UPDATE--I only found one problem with this mod and it's not necessarily a deal breaker but want you to know. When the signal gets really weak the screen will black out instead of going to static. It only goes black once the video is soo bad you can barely see but the problem i have with that is i realized I'd rather barely be able to see than just see black. When this happens the video comes back really quickly but it freaked me out and i have crashed because of it so i actually finally found a smokin deal and bought some fatshark goggles lol! If you disabled one of the receivers on the EV800D and hooked up the module there that probably wouldn't happen i just don't have time to do anymore modding. To see how you might do this you could check out Dronemesh's EV800 mod, ruclips.net/video/dVYaH1-bwaE/видео.html
R u selling the these since u got farsharks lol if not it's cool just checking. I need diversity and been trying to find a deal or a used set. Medical issues hase strapped but wanna fly farther with a patch and omni.
@@falkorfpv570 yea I finally got me a set but now I'm thinking something is going on with em. I keep losing signal too close. I think 1 of the sma have cracked solder joint or something.
did bro really pass the wires through the hole with the jst connector on the outside, cut it off, then putting a new jst connector on the inside? because if so i don't get why you didn't just pull the wires in from the inside out at 2:28
Sorry about that, I was showing how well the wires fit through the hole. I don't know why I showed it that way, I actually pulled them from the inside out when I assembled it. Thanks for pointing that out!👊
Hey considering trying this as the diversty that comes with ev800d's is terrible unusable im curious to know if im doing something wrong or does everyone have this issue? They work fine when just selecting one but the diversity is grainy and dropes out very early.
Yeah it should work just fine, the spot to hook up the positive for the receiver just might be somewhere else on the board but the battery connection looks like it's the same as the EV800D👍
Hi please i need help i buy the foxeer wild fire i did what u show us here but without voltage booster when i try the goggles all working well but same distance nothing chaged is that due to voltage booster??
Maybe, without the voltage booster it probably won't use both modules, so if you have a circular polarized antenna on one and a patch on the other it might only be receiving through the circular one which would give less range. But even with the full 5 volts you probably won't get any more range with this receiver than with the stock modules, (i didn't seem to with my rapidfire) but you will have much better video in multipath environments like in a bando or concrete structure and you won't have to worry about the modules switching back and forth slowly, having a moment of blackout or a lot of video rolling.
@@falkorfpv570 thank u friend, and please what is my solution to get more range? This is why i bought the wildfire, or mzybe if i use it in a goggles with module bay this will be give me that long range?
Basically the module is just better. The way i hooked it up in this video though you can switch inputs and use the stock receivers instead if you like they are still operational (as long as the antennas are on)😀.
@@elbedouirayen7938 Hard to say but pretty far, i've gone about 3,300ft away with my Mach3 vtx at 600mw & Rapidfire module and i had no break up. That was out in the woods with little RF around so it depends on where you are and if you have clear line of sight. You should be able to go much further with what you have as long as your radio link is also good😁
Pretty much any place you can buy FPV gear, RDQ (Race Day Quads), Getfpv, there's many more stores, maybe do a search on RUclips for "fatshark modules" to get some more info on which one you might want. I'm sure those video's will have links on where to buy.

I haven't tested that yet but so far just out flying around trees i really couldn't see a difference compared to the stock receivers unfortunately.

@@falkorfpv570 lol. What? 800d's run between $130to $190 and the fat shark module runs between $70 to $95. Thats $300. You can buy fat sharks for that. I dont know what your thinking.
@@scottmcbride2237 Soooo, if you bought EV800D's at RDQ for example they're $100 add the parts to upgrade and they're $130. Fat shark modules are extra no matter what goggles you buy. So the cheapest Fatshark's are $300 plus the module. If you buy Fatshark's as you said with the module they will be $370 and up (Rapid fire is $150 alone). No trolls please😉
@@falkorfpv570 Wow. I'm not trolling I'm just saying. You can buy fatsharks for as low as $140 used and I'm just saying as much as that it cost to buy the 800d's and the module.

@@scottmcbride2237 Oh that's awesome, I've never seen used Fatshark's that cheap! I agree, if you can get a used pair of Fatshark's for that cheap go for it!

Awesome bro I was about to buy the d version cause iv been using the original non diversity EV800 and want diversity so bad but don't know if this would work the same or not. I don't think I have av in that actually works
Would you be willing to make this whole little wire setup for the battery mod and I’ll pay for it? Plug-n-play? Seriously, I’ll pay nicely for this if I can just crack open the goggles and plug this in and boom, good to go.
you really should get someone to 3d print you a bracket to put on the outside to hold the unit.... and ou could run a strap or even a ziptie around it. glue it to the face of the goggle. be pretty easy,

Dude you should! I'd like to see what you used and how you built it!
Great video and your solder game is on point

Hey, I was just wondering couldn’t you use the sky zone module bay because it plugs into to AV in port
Yeah I'm pretty sure you could, I almost went that way but I wanted the sound to work as well and I'm not sure how it's powered.

Okay question. Does the addition of the module make the original antennas obsolete? Or the module is just better so why use em up
Basically the module is just better. The way i hooked it up in this video though you can switch inputs and use the stock receivers instead if you like they are still operational (as long as the antennas are on)😀.
For the lipo charge do I have to charge it separetly or can I use the goggles charger?
Don't quote me but I don't see why you couldn't use the goggles charger, I would imagine it would take forever though.
Hi! Nice video!
Is it possible to install a video out port, in case I want to show what I'm seeing on a tv? If yes, can you show me please?
I imagine you could but I'm not sure how. Unfortunately I don't have time to do that right now.
Great please i want to ask if it's necessary to add a voltage booster?
And is this methode work with foxeer wildfire?
Thank u
Yes you have to step up the voltage to 5v so you can run the modules properly. Yup the wildfire should work just fine.👍
