Why should I choose the OSD Pro system???
There are lots of OSD choices out there. Here are a few reasons we believe the OSD Pro is your best option:
• Buy with confidence: Eagle Tree is a full time R/C business since 2003, focusing solely on RC data products. It's all we do! Nearly all the other OSD companies are part time businesses or "one man shops." We'll be around when you need us!
• Modularity: If we come out with a newer version of one of the OSD Pro components, you only need to upgrade that component to have the latest and greatest system, rather than having to replace your entire OSD system when a new one comes along.
• Easy setup: The OSD Pro is easy to configure exactly like you want it, with the included software. Click here to see the Configuration Overview PDF. The built-in flight simulator makes it much easier to test your configurations before you fly.
• Expandability: Eagle Tree offers myriad sensors that are fully compatible with the OSD Pro. Since we make these sensors ourselves, you're guaranteed that they will be plug and play, with no soldering, finger pointing, or headaches.
• Powerful features: The OSD Pro offers advanced features, such as Voice Alerts, Programmable Alarms, "RADAR" synthetic map, "Return to Home", RSSI and multiple battery voltage displays, built-in Flight Simulator for setup testing, Artificial Horizon display, acoustic variometer, way points, full Data Logging with Goggle and graphing with our powerful software.
World class support: we have full time, dedicated support staff, should you ever have a problem. Eagle Tree offers 24/7 support with our online support forum, our OSD Pro user thread, and advanced web ticket system. Only the OSD Pro has built-in diagnostics which can be downloaded and sent to our support staff, so we can diagnose most issues easily without needing to return the product.
• Easy upgradability: We are constantly adding new features and enhancements to our firmware. These are just a download away. The OSD Pro's built-in USB connection makes it easy to update firmware with our powerful software. No need to buy a separate USB adapter, build any special cables, or other complex steps for update.
• Part of a complete FPV system: The OSD Pro is complimented by our EagleEyes Ground Station, and will soon be enhanced with our EagleLink integrated RC/Video system. Other enhancements are in the works, that are fully compatible with the OSD Pro system.
I'm just looking for a simple, easy to use OSD. Is this one right for me?
The OSD Pro has many features and options that you may not need right away. But, why pay the same price or more for another OSD that doesn't offer these features, when you can just leave them disabled with the OSD Pro, until you need them? Click here to read the Quick Start Guide, which is a "Basic Setup". overview showing how easy it is to configure the OSD Pro for basic features.
What Data Parameters can be Displayed on the OSD Pro?
All parameters available with our eLogger V3 and Data Recorders + optional sensors will be supported for display on the OSD Pro. Here are some examples:
• GPS Parameters (Distance to Home, Home Arrow, GPS Altitude, Ground Speed,Course, and more)
• Electrical Parameters (Pack Volts, Amperage, RX Volts, Servo Current, Milliamp-Hours, Watts)
• Performance Parameters (Airspeed, Barometric Altitude, Climb rate, Variometer,Temperatures, RPM, G-Force, EGT, Jet ECU Status, servo positions)
• Receiver Health (Dropped Frames, Antenna Fades, Missed Packets – requires Spektrum or JR FlightLog compatible Receiver)
• Call Sign, and many more
Tell me About the Advanced Features of the OSD Pro!
The OSD PRO advanced features include "RADAR," Artificial Horizon, Voice Alerts, Return to Home,failsafe, and Way points, with other features and modules on the way!
RADAR
The plane icon labeled “RADAR” above serves two purposes: the direction the icon is pointing indicates your present course. And, the location of the icon on the screen provides a synthetic map, similar to RADAR: the center of the screen marks the takeoff point, in a "bird's eye" view, and the plane icon moves around the screen indicating your model’s location. The maximum distance and the “up” direction is configurable.
Voice Alerts
Imagine hearing the status of your model through earbuds connected to your video receiver! The OSD Pro fully supports voice warnings and status updates, via the audio channel of your video transmitter. Most of the available parameters can be programmed to provide voice alerts. For example, you can program the OSD Pro to periodically update you on altitude once a minute: “Altitude 3-9-1 Feet”. And, you can also program a low voltage warning “WARNING- Voltage 12-point-5 Volts”. Voice alerts can be combined with your camera’s microphone, so you do not lose motor or other flight sounds when there are no alerts.
Acoustic Variometer
Do you fly FPV sailplanes? A varying tone Variometer with Total Energy Compensation (completely configurable from the on-screen menus) is included. Any of our altimeters, or GPS altitude, will work with the variometer. But, the altimeters built into our Glide and Pro recorders have very high resolution, which is required for the variometer to be useful in finding thermals. You'd use the recorder instead of our eLogger as the 'data collector' if you need thermal sniffing capability. The OSD-Pro will work with either one.
Return to Home and Failsafe
The Return To Home feature will attempt to bring your stable fixed wing or elevon/vtail plane in a “holding pattern” above the takeoff point if radio signal is lost, by manipulating your model’s rudder/ailerons, elevator (or elevons), and throttle, based on your settings. GPS and other sensor information is used to attempt to return the plane to home. Note that this feature requires configuration of several parameters via our on-screen menus. An on-screen Return to Home configuration wizard is built in to simplify this process. The feature may require “trial and error” testing, and may not work with all planes or under all conditions. If you have a stabilization system, this process is greatly simplified. We plan on releasing additional sensors that will further simplify this feature. A Failsafe feature is also included, if Return to Home is not desired, or you are not using GPS. The failsafe feature sets your aileron/rudder, throttle, and elevator to programmable positions, if radio signal is lost. This is most useful for radios without built-in failsafe.The Return to Home and Failsafe features work with all known radio types.
Flight Simulator
A built-in flight simulator is included, letting you fly the RADAR icon around the screen, controlling altitude, throttle and turns with your RC Radio. Since the control surfaces of your model will move at the same time, this feature makes it easier to configure Return to Home and test your alarms and settings, and is also fun on rainy days!
Way points
Up to 3 way points (within visual range of the takeoff point) can be programmed into the OSD Pro, for aerial photography or just for fun. The locations of the way points are displayed on the RADAR display, making it easy for you to manually fly to the way points (the system will not autonomously fly to the way points).
Artificial Horizon Display
When you connect the FMA Direct™ CPD-4™ X/Y horizon sensor (either with our without the FMA™ stabilization Computer), an artificial horizon line can be displayed on the video screen.
RSSI
Several long range radio systems support analog RSSI output. We now support RSSI display, directly on the OSD Pro screen.
Monitoring of Multiple Batteries
Need to monitor more than one battery pack with your OSD Pro, such as your video battery, main battery, and BEC? We now support monitoring of up to three battery packs, directly on the OSD Pro screen.
How Do I Configure and Control the OSD Pro?
The OSD Pro's built in on-screen menus and Eagle Tree’s drag and drop configuration software makes it easy to configure the OSD Pro to display what you want to see, when and where you want to see it. As few or as many parameters as you need can be displayed.Our software lets you configure the OSD with up to 20 data parameters per screen. Also, the same parameter can be displayed on multiple screens.The OSD Pro's on-screen menus let you set up the Return to Home feature, set audio volume, configure GPS settings, turn on and off the graphical features, and much more, without needing a computer at the field.Two servo channels (one of which must be dedicated full time to the OSD Pro) let you switch between on-screen menus to further configure the OSD, or turn off the OSD entirely.
How Do I Hook it Up?
The OSD Pro Expander has the following connections:
• Connection to the eLogger or Data Recorder
• Servo-style connections to your camera’s “video out” port and your video transmitter’s “video-in” port
• Servo-style connections to your audio microphone (if you have one) and to your video transmitter's audio in port.
• Servo connections for controlling the OSD from your radio, and for Return to Home and Failsafe features. The servo connections are Aileron/Rudder In and Out, Elevator In and Out, Throttle In and Out, Aux 1 In, and Aux 2 In. Note that the Aux 1 channel must be dedicated to the OSD Pro, but the Aux 2 channel may be shared with other functions on your model.
• Five male to male Servo extension cables are included for hooking up to your servos.
Is the Eagle Tree OSD Pro System “Future Proof”?
