When I wanted to get headtracking with my Skyzone SKY-01, I thought it would be as easy as plug & play. But it's not.

I found a lot of partial information over the internet, and wanted to share with a more complete version.

The configuration has to be done:

• on the Skyzone Goggles AND
• on your Futaba transmitter

Note that I'm using the following setup on my TBS Discovery:

• DJI Naza-m V2
• Zenmuse H3-2D with GoPro Hero4 Silver (no pan, only tilt)

Skyzone configuration

We begin with the goggles. By default, they use channel 5 for pan and channel 6 for tilt.

To change this setting:

• Press and Hold Button "TRACK", then connect power to enter Head Tracker Setup Menu (Release as soon as beep). Head Tracker beeps indicating the current PPM Channel. See details below.
• Short Press "TRACK" Button to select different PPM Channels

Here are the Beep PPM Channel:

• 1 short beep Pan CH5, Tilt CH6 (Factory default)
• 2 short beep Pan CH5, Tilt CH7
• 3 short beep Pan CH5, Tilt CH8
• 4 short beep Pan CH6, Tilt CH7
• 5 short beep Pan CH6, Tilt CH8
• 6 short beep Pan CH7, Tilt CH8

In my case, I wanted to use channel 8, so 5 and 6 beeps are both valid options.
You can now unplugged the power cable.

Your goggles are now configured!

Futaba configuration

This was the tricky part for me. But now I can explain you how to do.

Trainer

• Long Press on +
• Go to third screen
• Select TRAINER
• TRAINER master must be set to OFF
• Every channel can be turned OFF, except channel 8:AU2, which needs to be set to FNC. It will be used to the Skyzone tilt.

Exit with END.

P.MIX1-6

Now go to P.MIX1-6 and:

• Create a new mix on the first slot
• Set RATEL and H to -100%
• MASTER to AU2 (we take the tilt channel 8)
• SLAVE to GER (we route it to the GER, channel 5)
• SW to SwH (it is the Trainer Switch of the Futaba T8J)
• POSI to DOWN (when switch will be down, headtracking will be enabled)

Exit with END, twice.

Tests

To enable your headtracker, you have to push the H switch. This switch cannot be blocked in the active position without a trick (see bellow).

When you active this switch, you can move your head up and down and your gimbal will follow.

Note that you have a TRACK button on your goggles. It allows you to reset the center position with a short press.
