Carrier board 3 for CN1 APM - R0033 
The Carrier Board 3 for the Control N1 APM (R0033) is designed to be used on FPV platforms. Its universal size makes it highly adaptable across a variety of platforms, while its powerful active-component capabilities deliver strong performance in a small package.
Key Features
-
Universal Mounting Standard: Drops straight into most FPV and DIY drone frames -- this size works perfectly for a 4-in-1 ESC + Power Distribution Board stacks.
-
Easy ESC integration: The 8-pin JST allows for seamless integration with 4-in-1 ESC boards, making a cleaner build and lowering the risk of wiring mistakes (also industry standard)
-
OSD Capability: This board includes an on-board OSD for analog video transmitters to display information such as battery voltage, altitude, speed, distance, coordinates, and more.
-
5V power supply for all peripherals - no need for BEC (6s)

Use Cases
- Designed for pilots who want a highly modular, do-everything FPV platform
Installation & Setup
- Unpack the product and inspect for any visible damage.
- Align the connector/interface with the corresponding port on Control N1 (R0024).
- Secure the connection by pressing firm and equally both boards against each other.
- Power On the base product to verify successful integration.
Warning
Always refer to the safety and compatibility guidelines of Control N1 before installation.
