CN1 Carrier 3 - FPV
The Carrier Board 3 for the Control N1 APM (R0033) is designed for FPV platforms, with a universal form factor and onboard active components that keep the build compact and clean.
Key Features
Section titled “Key Features”- Universal Mounting Standard: Fits most FPV and DIY drone frames — sized to work with standard 4-in-1 ESC + Power Distribution Board stacks.
- Easy ESC Integration: The 8-pin JST connects directly to 4-in-1 ESC boards, reducing wiring complexity and keeping the stack tidy.
- OSD Capability: Onboard OSD outputs flight data (battery voltage, altitude, speed, distance, coordinates) to analog video transmitters.
- 5V power supply for all peripherals — no external BEC needed (6s).
