PRODUCT INFORMATION
HDZero AIO5 is the world’s first digital video AIO, enabling bind and fly 65mm whoops to weigh less than 19.5g. AIO5 integrates a F4 flight controller, HDZero 5.8GHz digital video transmitter, SPI 2.4GHz ExpressLRS 3.0 receiver, DSHOT protocol 4-in-1 ESC, and a 5V/1A BEC. It is ideal for tiny whoop racing and freestyle. The HDZero AIO5 is an excellent collaboration between Happymodel and HDZero. It is available at major FPV resellers worldwide, and also at Happymodel and HDZero official online shops.

Included
- 1x HDZero AIO5 board
- 1x Power cable with inverted angle A30 connector
- 4x screws
- 4x rubber grommets
- 1x ultra-lite linear VTX antenna
Installation
- ELRS antenna
- A line antenna (¼ wavelength) for the ELRS receiver is pre-soldered and positioned close to the board for low-profile and easy packaging. However, the ELRS antenna needs to be lifted to maintain at least 3 mm of clearance from the board.

- VTX antenna
- The HDZero VTX integrated into the AIO5 has a specific requirement to prevent video noise caused by the video RF signal being routed back to the onboard power amplifier. The VTX antenna should be mounted outward, not inward, on the board.

Bind with TX radio
There are two ways to bind the receiver, as shown below:
- Button Binding Put the receiver into bind mode using any of these procedures:
- “Bind” button in the Betaflight Configurator, Receiver Page (if can’t be found, update the Betaflight firmware).
- Using the CLI, type in bind rx and press enter once.
- Using the CLI, type in set expresslrs uid = 0, press enter once, then save and reboot
- Once the SPI receiver is in binding mode (the ELRS LED will start to blink faster), insert the ELRS TX module into your OpenTX Radio transmitter, select External RF mode and set it to the CRSFprotocol. You will find the ELRS menu in the Radio system (ensure the ELRS.LUA file is copied to the SD-Card tools first). Enter the ELRS menu and press [Bind]. The RX LED on the flight controller will become solid if the binding is successful.
- Binding Phrase
- As of Betaflight 4.4 (with Betaflight Configurator version 10.9.0 or newer), your ExpressLRS Binding Phrase can be set directly on the receiver tab in Betaflight Configurator.
- Proper configuration of the Betaflight Receiver tab for ExpressLRS SPI Receivers. Receiver Mode (1) should be set to SPI RX. SPI Bus Receiver Provider (2) should be set to EXPRESSLRS. Enter your binding phrase in the box (3) and it will be converted to UID bytes (4) and saved to your Betaflight config. You can also take this opportunity to enable Telemetry (5) if desired, and make sure RSSI_ADC (6) and RSSI Channel (7) are disabled as shown.
- As of Betaflight 4.4 (with Betaflight Configurator version 10.9.0 or newer), your ExpressLRS Binding Phrase can be set directly on the receiver tab in Betaflight Configurator.
NOTE:
- SPI ELRS receivers DO NOT support D(D250, D500), F(F500, F1000) and Full Res(100Hz Full Res, 333Hz Full Res) Modes (Packet Rates) and thus will not bind or sync with a TX module in any of these modes. These are the packet rates that will work: 50Hz, 150Hz, 250Hz, 500Hz.
- ELRS LED status:
- Solid means bind successful or Connection established;
- Faster Blink (500ms) means in bind mode;
- Slowly Blink (1s) means no signal is established with the TX module
