Definitely one of the best install videos I've seen. Only thing I'd add is that you can buy a plug and play cable for the Immersion/IOSD for about $20. It patches the Tx to the IOSD and plugs into the CAN bus and also plugs into the port inside that provides power/video. I really like the idea of bringing the CAN bus inside and only having the Tx hanging outside. Leaves room to hang more stuff outside.
One of the best tutorials I've seen, and timely for me getting ready to purchase the iOSDmini and another 600mw tx. Only suggestion is to note putting on shrink tubing before soldering
Hi, I followed your instructions just tonight and have now installed an iOSD unit successfully onto my Phantom 2. Works just great. I was pretty nervous about powering it up afterward due to previous expensive 'pop, sizzle, sizzle' episodes with other quads but not this time!! Thanks for your valuable training video.
Thanks very much for the awesome and informative video. It is people like you that make the hobby of UAV flying and aerial videography so much more satisfying and fun for those of us who are not quite so technically minded. Thank you That HPI Guy
Exactly what I was looking for, got all the components to do this w/ my P2 but this saves me loads of time in having to research each step... and great job of showing/having everything in screen.
Thank You for the post. I am going to buy a Phantom2 and want to set it up like this. This helps me know what to buy. The only thing I am having a hard time finding in a monitor. Thanks for the post!!!
Excellent video. I followed the instructions and installed mine; however the video quality I am getting is not as good; Colors seem to be washed out a bit. Any tips?
Hi, thanks for this installation guide which I followed to a T. it all worked well for me, I was away in Africa filming and got some really good stuff. On my return home I reassembled the Quad, I think the the immersion rc 600mw transmitter sparked up and blew. Its clear that it worked well for months and I only disassembled the gimbal landing gear and transmitter for easy transportation. Also before I started it up I made sure I had attached the transmitter with an antenna as you mentioned if fired up without an antenna it could result in a blown transmitter. I am going to have to buy a new one but what other possible reasons are there for an a transmitter to blow
Sat down and step by stepped off this great video today. Excellent relay of how-to info and the result is a working relay of flight info. First time around. Thanks Much!
Great vid, I take it the iOS mini HUD signal is only seen over the video on your fpv and not on the video recorded inside the gopro. To record the HUD with video I'd need to record the video direct from the av port on fatshark goggles
Richard do you plan on doing a video installing the DJI ipad ground station setup ? The best way to place the components and the easiest way to get the can bus cable from the data link on the phantom 2 body up into the iosd mini to plug it into the extra can bus port. I hate to have to use a can bus hub and place everything on the outside of the phantom 2. Thanks
This looks tidy and you've done a good job of this but what do you think about the fact that the iosd mini produces heat while powered, and some have reported failure due to melting. The IC chip in the unit needs to stay cool. DJI reccommends that the unit be mounted externally where it can be cooled by prop wash. Have you experienced or heard of anyone experiencing issues with this modification?
Excellent video, Thank you for taking the time to make it concise and easy to follow. I wish there was a way to send video via wifi to smart phone like in the DJI Vision app. But apparently that can't be done with the H3-2D/ GoPro set up :(
that's because the vision operates on a 5.8 GHz frequency. 300 m range in europe and 500 in US. Because the frequency is that of Wifi. P2 with H3-2D 2.4Ghz frequency and 1000m range. It's Hobby grade.
How did you secure the canvas (that was originally on the leg) inside the phantom? It's clear that the iOSD mini had double sided tape. So I was just curious about the canvas. Thank you! Great video!
I have a Phantom 2 + h33d gimbal + FPV already set up. And just got the iOSD mini. I was really glad to find your tutorial, but when I opened my phantom, I realized that my transmitter is different from yours. I have the Video Transmitter TX Lite Module, so my cables are totally different, and now I have no idea of what to do. Would you have any ideas, or a diagram that I can follow? Thanks in advance.
Great vid. I previously setup the FatShark goggles to my Phantom 2 with iOSD mini hookups as well. As of recently, I have felt the need to switch to the Black Pearl screen. I'm trying to avoid resetting my whole setup so I can switch between goggles and screen, which would be convenient. My only concern is that the Black Pearl kit came with a bulky 5.8 VideoLink transmitter with different hookups than the 600Mw transmitter. It looks good, and even has a fan in it (I've noticed that my current 600Mw transmitter tends to get really warm when in use). But my question is: Can any transmitter, whether it be this VideoLink or the 600Mw immersion transmitter, be used for either mode of FPV? Thanks in advance for your help!
Thank you for a very excellent video. I did the installation a couple of days ago and all worked fine. There is an issue which may not be related to the installation. I just got the Phantom2 and noticed before the gimbal and iosd installation that I would get Sat lock in less than a minute. Now It seems to take over 5 min and just now after 10 min or so never got above 6 sats. I disconnected the inmmerson Vtx power and shut off the GoPro but still no help. Have you had any feedback on this issue? Thanks, Tom
Hi! Nice video! I have 2 questions. 1: The monitor you are using, is it wireless or do you need to plug it in to a computer? 2: Do the video transmitter interfear in any way with the compass inside the landing gear?
Richard can you please add a video showing a good way to add the 2.4ghz Ipad ground station. I need a way to get the can bus cable from the air data link unit that's mounted on the bottom of the phantom 2 up to the Iosd mini inside the Phantom 2 so I can plug it into the spare mini iosd can bus port. Thanks
Great video! One quick question- Does the camera video feed to the video xmitter feed signal through the Gimbal cable? I usually see an external video out plug coming off the side of the GoPRO and feeding it over to the transmitter. Can you clarify? Thanks a lot! Again, great video!!
Excellent video! Will this technique and choice of leads work with the Flysight TX5812 transmitter? It looks very similar to the TX you're working with. Please keep up the good work, a great help to all of us!
Great Vid! Thanks HPI Guy. I also thought the compass was located on the leg where the canbus connection was. Now I'm thinking it is located next to the GPS on the top part of the shell. Could you confirm this for me please. I don't want to remove the canbus from the leg and move it inside if it is going to cause any directional problems. I'll be installing the IOSD Mini and Immersion 600vTx in a couple of weeks (with lots of help from you!) Keep up the good video work and thanks from Canada Eh!
Thanks for the video. I just performed the operation and all is well but my lever on the remote control doesn't move my gimbel. The camera points straight down and moves a hair when I move the switch but that's it. I also have Sky Zone goggles that I can see the iOSD and the video, but they have tracking and the tracking doesn't move the gimbel either. Initially the gimbel got hot too, but that hasn't happen since I first powered up. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Hi. Thanks very much for this video - it was invaluable to me in installing the IOSD Mini. My question is not related to the IOSD Mini, but is actually related to the gimbal movement at 8:05. My Phantom 2's H3-2D gimbal's pitch movement is impossible to operate smoothly. On your vid, you moved the lever and then the camera followed, but sloooowly..... nice! On my RC gimbal lever, the gimbal only moves when the RC gimbal lever is moving in the approx middle third of its range....I've done all the calibrating and I've tried the (completely ineffective) gimbal controls in the Phantom 2 Assistant Software. Is the problem I'm experiencing due to some pin/potentiometer problem is the RC? Any pointers at all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. K
Hey bro... another great video. Well i got it and its all built. However i am having an issue with the booting of the P2 whenever the mini is connected. I even did it over with the dji hub. Seems not to be a common issue but a few have experienced it. Any advice would help. Firmware is also up to date .
thanks for a great work i just want to know how does the transmitter connect to my go pro ? and can i use a fatshark googels? and can i do all this modefcation before setting up my compus ? because my phantom its in the box ? please unswear me i need a professional help
When you click on your link to purchase the iOSD they say you also need the Power Management Unit "Please note if this is intended for fitting into the DJI Phantom then a naza v2 pmu will be required" yet to don't show it. Do you need to have a PMU if installing on a Phantom?
I have the same cuestion. Is it the iosd mini insde the phantom just for estetic? or is it posible to let the CAN BUS on the leg doing the same function as you describe on the video?
It doesn't need to remain there. The compass is on the opposite leg and is an entirely different component. You also can leave the can bus on the leg and then just install the Iosd mini on the outside of the phantom.
I get 2 miles with mine. I have the same setup here, same TX. A lot of it has to do with having the best antenna's, like the Crosshair TX and the Airscrew RX
Hi sir, I'm very interesting to the DJI. Can you tell me EXACTLY what I need to buy to build the same thing in your video. I am confuse about the FPV monitor and OSD Mini, Do I need to buy them both or what? there are many options in Amazon and I don't know which I need to buy. I am waiting for you reply! thank you!!
Would all this also apply if it were the new H3-3D that was being used (apart from the way the gimbal is fitted, obviously)? I'd be looking to get the identical setup, except I'd be using the H3-3D instead. It's the wiring I'm concerned with primarily (i.e. what fits where, and what's soldered to what.
Hey man! Great video. I have a phantom 1. Do you know how my set up is different? Like the CAN BUS for example? I've installed the upgrade board and the gimbal. I'd like to attach the mini iOSD and the DJI AVL58 transmitter. I'd also like to run power to my transmitter from the Phantom battery source. ANY help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Nice one Guy--thanks for the excellent tutorial. I see the iOSD mini runs on 6 volts, power in is 12volts via the lipo--so is there a bec within the circuit somewhere.? Cheers.
You can't... sorry... The P2 vision uses 5.8Ghz for radio control as the wi-fi link for video is on 2.4Ghz. Since the P2 (non vision) uses 2.4Ghz for radio control it's not possible due to interference. Having a 2.4Ghz wi-fi transmitter onboard would wipe out the control signals. There maybe an option to use 5.8Ghz band wifi instead... if you can find hardware to fit in the P2...
Dorian Creber I've read that there have been drones flying away never to be seen again, likely because of the WiFi interference from the GoPro camera. It's not worth taking the risk!
I did this set up exactly and I am getting a signal from the IOSD mini but it isn't showing the GoPro 3+ footage. It is a gray screen underneath the IOSD mini footage. Am I missing an important piece?
Hi, i followed your video for installation. Looks neat. Only thing is that the iosd mini gets quite hot. Wonder if its ok to be placed inside? Quite some people had faulty iosd after several flights (not sure they were installed in or outside)
Thanks for a great video, how can i do the same clean installation with the DJI Data ground station for ipad? i also looking to install FPV so now i will have an extra transmitter. it will be great if you have a video for that.
Genial. Gracias por subir el tutorial. El mejor por lejos. los otros que encontre conectaban con cables comprados y no con los que vienen, dificultando todo. muy bueno. Gracias nuevamente.
I read there is video out on gimbal. Where is because I do not see it. I want to plug the yellow video cable from gopro video to my transmitter hopefully without any soldering.
Dialing in my Phantom, can you suggest the best set up to fly? Naza or Phantom mode? I can't seem to find info on this. Also, on the assistant software, the numbers, are they set to a default setting?
Hi, Could you help me. I followed the video as instructed but I still cannot get the gopro to send the signal to my goggles. I can see the iOSD readings tho, but no video. Help me.
I'm about to do this install and I have a question regarding wiring to the GoPro. 8:13 doesn't show any wires going into the camera itself. I didn't see any reference to additional wiring installation which would connect the GoPro with the Video TX. Also, what is the black wire shielding placed on the video tx wiring referred to so I can find it online and purchase some for the installation process? Thank you very much for your response.
Well done video(s). All the content needed without being tedious. Crisp editing. The best part is that it is very useful. I will be adding FPV with the iOSD to my Phantom 2. Thanks very much.
Thank you for the great video! And thank you for doing it with Audio Dialogue!! Instructional videos with just subtitles and no dialogue seem to be a trend and are half as effective and draw your attention away from what is going on in the video..
I don't understand how the GoPro is sending the video feed to the monitor without a cable being plugged into the GoPro's USB port. I'm wanting to set up the same thing but I'm a bit confused. What is sending the video feed? I've read that wireless isn't a good idea.
The Zenmuse Gimbal is taking the Video Feed from the Go Pro and sending it to the Phantom and transmiter. When You place the Go Pro into the Gimbal, the video feed will automatically be transferred.
Thanks for the reply, after doing some more digging I learnt that DJI removed the GoPro connector and changed it to USB in version 1.1 of the gimbal. Just need to get everything ordered now.
Great tutorial! Thanks for always making these things so understandable. Quick question: Is there a way to update the iosd using a mac? If not, is it ok for me to just install the IOSD and use it as it came?
HI. Thank you very much for your well done video and a couple of questions. First is to know if can I record inside the GoPro 3+ and at the same time send the signal to the Tx/Rx to the monitor. The second one is to know if this installation is compatible with the Bluetooth Datalink coming soon from DIJ. And BTW may we know where to buy those fantastic pliers show in the video to trim cables?
I am also confused...... I have no gimbal but still want to use my IOSD, to connect to my FPV system. (Until I can afford the gimbal) so, how do I connect my go pro??? Do I solder the go pro USB-FPV cable together with the Orange and brown from the IOSD
I'm about to set up a very cheap FPV setup using the Boscam 32Ch 5.8G 600mw 5km Wireless AV Transmitter TS832 Receiver RC832 set up along with the iOSD Mini. Will this install work the same way?
A couple more question. Are there any more simple monitors like this one out there? I found this particular monitor a bit pricey for me (although i only looked at one site). I have looked at some Boscam monitors, but I don't know if I need to buy any extra parts or anything like that to make them work. Do you have any suggestions on monitors that is as easy as this one, but in the lower price range?
I just installed my iOSD mini and discovered one small drawback of an inside install. I forgot to update the iOSD firmware. Once it's installed and hooked up can you acess and update the firmware of the iOSD via the external Phantom 2 USB connector?
excellent work.....question mine does have a fpv hub for a dji avl58 that i don´t like....and does not have the yellow brown red black wire...can any one tell me what type of connector is that one.....and the socket where it plugs has 6 pins do you know the sequence???? 1 and 2 dummies or 5 and 6 dummies???..thanks

I was pretty nervous about powering it up afterward due to previous expensive 'pop, sizzle, sizzle' episodes with other quads but not this time!! Thanks for your valuable training video.
You definatly make this look effortless. I presume you've got a ton of experience with this sort of thing to be so masterful.
Thanks very much for the awesome and informative video. It is people like you that make the hobby of UAV flying and aerial videography so much more satisfying and fun for those of us who are not quite so technically minded. Thank you That HPI Guy
Nice work! Thanks for using a good microphone to record the instructions. It's super clear and easy to understand.
thanks Henry, yeah I can't stand it when people voice over and it sounds like they have the Mic in their mouth haha.
Thanks for this excellent video. Very easy and to the point instructions, perfect image quality and perfect audio.
Exactly what I was looking for, got all the components to do this w/ my P2 but this saves me loads of time in having to research each step... and great job of showing/having everything in screen.
Thank You for the post. I am going to buy a Phantom2 and want to set it up like this. This helps me know what to buy. The only thing I am having a hard time finding in a monitor. Thanks for the post!!!
Best video on youtube for this topic. Great voice and narration.
Thank you, just getting my Phantom 2 together, got the GoPro today, just wasn't sure about setting up the FPV. I'll be following your procedure!
I liked this video mate, thumbs up. Cheers from the IGY Simpson Bay Marina, Sint Maarten in the Caribbean.
Excellent video. I followed the instructions and installed mine; however the video quality I am getting is not as good; Colors seem to be washed out a bit. Any tips?
Great job. One of the best tutorials I've seen. Thanks
Thanks for the help!! Works like a charm! Transmission issues? Try screwing your antenna in tighter!
Hi, thanks for this installation guide which I followed to a T. it all worked well for me, I was away in Africa filming and got some really good stuff. On my return home I reassembled the Quad, I think the the immersion rc 600mw transmitter sparked up and blew. Its clear that it worked well for months and I only disassembled the gimbal landing gear and transmitter for easy transportation. Also before I started it up I made sure I had attached the transmitter with an antenna as you mentioned if fired up without an antenna it could result in a blown transmitter. I am going to have to buy a new one but what other possible reasons are there for an a transmitter to blow
Sat down and step by stepped off this great video today. Excellent relay of how-to info and the result is a working relay of flight info. First time around. Thanks Much!
Thanks! Followed this whilst i fitted all these parts, also fitted the H4-3D gamble with the anti interference board.
All works perfect.
Thanks again
Thank you! using this detailed video i was able to connect both the iOSD & DJI 58AVL to my Ph2. Many thanks for the clean install tips.

This looks tidy and you've done a good job of this but what do you think about the fact that the iosd mini produces heat while powered, and some have reported failure due to melting. The IC chip in the unit needs to stay cool. DJI reccommends that the unit be mounted externally where it can be cooled by prop wash. Have you experienced or heard of anyone experiencing issues with this modification?
Excellent video, Thank you for taking the time to make it concise and easy to follow.

Did you use 3m tape to hold down the CANBUS inside? Awesome tutorial. Made it a breeze to understand and install myself.
Very nice work!!!! You have helped me with a lot and all I can say is thank you!!
Nice video. Quick question. Can I fly without having a GoPro attached? Setup is same as yours except H3-3D. Thanks
thanks mate, the couple of videos on p2 & fpv were extremely helpful!
Great video! If I install the iOSD on my Phantom v1.1.1 with upgrade board will it show battery voltage as a percentage?
Thank you for a very excellent video.
I did the installation a couple of days ago and all worked fine.
There is an issue which may not be related to the installation.
I just got the Phantom2 and noticed before the gimbal and iosd installation that I would get Sat lock in less than a minute.

2: Do the video transmitter interfear in any way with the compass inside the landing gear?
Thanks for this video, perfect! Just waiting for my IOSD Mini, Transmitter and Black Pearl to arrive.
Fantastic mate! I've got all my components and am ready to do the same thing.
Richard can you please add a video showing a good way to add the 2.4ghz Ipad ground station. I need a way to get the can bus cable from the air data link unit that's mounted on the bottom of the phantom 2 up to the Iosd mini inside the Phantom 2 so I can plug it into the spare mini iosd can bus port.

Can the Zenmuse be used with a similar sized but none gopro camera? Great clear instructions.
Zenmuse h3-2d can only be used with go pros... sorry
Great video! What is the diameter of the black wire shielding that you are using?
Nice Video but as others have asked, how do you get the GoPro video to be transmitted to the monitor...
Awesome lesson, I have all of the items your referring to in video on there way. This is perfect for what I am getting in to.
Great Video! Thanks for taking the time. This will help me out alot on my new setup.
Excellent video! Will this technique and choice of leads work with the Flysight TX5812 transmitter? It looks very similar to the TX you're working with.
Please keep up the good work, a great help to all of us!
Great video! Did this exactly like you showed it. Very easy!
Great Vid! Thanks HPI Guy. I also thought the compass was located on the leg where the canbus connection was. Now I'm thinking it is located next to the GPS on the top part of the shell.

Keep up the good video work and thanks from Canada Eh!
hi boddy how is it going, just to check on you if You can teach me please how to wire up the naza in this particular device. please
Nice work
Just wanna say thanks for the video. Successfully DIYed based on this.
Thanks for the video. I just performed the operation and all is well but my lever on the remote control doesn't move my gimbel. The camera points straight down and moves a hair when I move the switch but that's it. I also have Sky Zone goggles that I can see the iOSD and the video, but they have tracking and the tracking doesn't move the gimbel either.

What sort of range are you able to view the live feed with this setup, thanks
I get 2 miles with mine. I have the same setup here, same TX. A lot of it has to do with having the best antenna's, like the Crosshair TX and the Airscrew RX
Hi sir, I'm very interesting to the DJI. Can you tell me EXACTLY what I need to buy to build the same thing in your video.

Nice one Guy--thanks for the excellent tutorial.
I see the iOSD mini runs on 6 volts, power in is 12volts via the lipo--so is there a bec within the circuit somewhere.?
Cheers.
Agreed amazing work and thanks for helping all us newbies out!
Very nice BUT what options are there if i want to send the feed to my ipad/iphone? Just the way the Vision+ does it.
Thanks :)
You can't... sorry...
The P2 vision uses 5.8Ghz for radio control as the wi-fi link for video is on 2.4Ghz.
Since the P2 (non vision) uses 2.4Ghz for radio control it's not possible due to interference.
Having a 2.4Ghz wi-fi transmitter onboard would wipe out the control signals.
There maybe an option to use 5.8Ghz band wifi instead... if you can find hardware to fit in the P2...
Dorian Creber I've read that there have been drones flying away never to be seen again, likely because of the WiFi interference from the GoPro camera. It's not worth taking the risk!
your first mistake was getting a vision...
Clear, concise and helpful. Thanks for this!

Thanks for a great video, how can i do the same clean installation with the DJI Data ground station for ipad? i also looking to install FPV so now i will have an extra transmitter. it will be great if you have a video for that.
Could you please share the components that I need to buy to achieve this setup, including cables and everything. Thank you.
Thanks for the vid. What monitor are you using?
Please type philips which key you used to open the chip that is located on the landing gear in the video at the 1:00 unscrewed accelerating video
ThatHPI GUY Thanks mate i followed this today to install my fpv and it was successful thanks again
Could the red and black (power and ground) from inside the phantom also be used to power a gimbal that's not Zenmuse?
Invaluable Video - Thanks. Can you tell me what size shielding you used ? Thanks again :-)
Genial. Gracias por subir el tutorial. El mejor por lejos. los otros que encontre conectaban con cables comprados y no con los que vienen, dificultando todo. muy bueno. Gracias nuevamente.
I read there is video out on gimbal. Where is because I do not see it. I want to plug the yellow video cable from gopro video to my transmitter hopefully without any soldering.
Great job. Very easy to see and follow. Thanks
Dialing in my Phantom, can you suggest the best set up to fly? Naza or Phantom mode? I can't seem to find info on this. Also, on the assistant software, the numbers, are they set to a default setting?
Hi, Could you help me. I followed the video as instructed but I still cannot get the gopro to send the signal to my goggles. I can see the iOSD readings tho, but no video. Help me.
you just need to unplug the power cable from the gopro.
Hi Lisa, I figured it out, it was because I had a bad solder joint, my fault. All is well now. Thanks!
I'm about to do this install and I have a question regarding wiring to the GoPro. 8:13 doesn't show any wires going into the camera itself. I didn't see any reference to additional wiring installation which would connect the GoPro with the Video TX. Also, what is the black wire shielding placed on the video tx wiring referred to so I can find it online and purchase some for the installation process? Thank you very much for your response.
Nice!
Can I follow this tutorial also with my Phantom 2 with Zenmuse 3D?
Well done video(s). All the content needed without being tedious. Crisp editing. The best part is that it is very useful. I will be adding FPV with the iOSD to my Phantom 2. Thanks very much.
I'm about to do this same set up but on my Phantom V1. Is this how to video pretty well the same for the Phantom V1?
Thank you for the great video!
And thank you for doing it with Audio Dialogue!! Instructional videos with just subtitles and no dialogue seem to be a trend and are half as effective and draw your attention away from what is going on in the video..
I don't understand how the GoPro is sending the video feed to the monitor without a cable being plugged into the GoPro's USB port. I'm wanting to set up the same thing but I'm a bit confused. What is sending the video feed? I've read that wireless isn't a good idea.
The Zenmuse Gimbal is taking the Video Feed from the Go Pro and sending it to the Phantom and transmiter. When You place the Go Pro into the Gimbal, the video feed will automatically be transferred.
Thanks for the reply, after doing some more digging I learnt that DJI removed the GoPro connector and changed it to USB in version 1.1 of the gimbal. Just need to get everything ordered now.
No Problem, I hope you enjoy your Phantom. I am holding off on buying one because of the new DJI Imagine 1 being released on Wednesday!
Ndude Pytc U mean the Inspire 1
Great tutorial! Thanks for always making these things so understandable. Quick question: Is there a way to update the iosd using a mac? If not, is it ok for me to just install the IOSD and use it as it came?
HI. Thank you very much for your well done video and a couple of questions. First is to know if can I record inside the GoPro 3+ and at the same time send the signal to the Tx/Rx to the monitor.
The second one is to know if this installation is compatible with the Bluetooth Datalink coming soon from DIJ. And BTW may we know where to buy those fantastic pliers show in the video to trim cables?
Moleishion un weveishion!!!
I am also confused...... I have no gimbal but still want to use my IOSD, to connect to my FPV system. (Until I can afford the gimbal) so, how do I connect my go pro???
Do I solder the go pro USB-FPV cable together with the Orange and brown from the IOSD
So it begin inside instead of on the leg doesn't cause any interference problems?
I'm about to set up a very cheap FPV setup using the Boscam 32Ch 5.8G 600mw 5km Wireless AV Transmitter TS832 Receiver RC832 set up along with the iOSD Mini. Will this install work the same way?
A couple more question.
Are there any more simple monitors like this one out there? I found this particular monitor a bit pricey for me (although i only looked at one site). I have looked at some Boscam monitors, but I don't know if I need to buy any extra parts or anything like that to make them work. Do you have any suggestions on monitors that is as easy as this one, but in the lower price range?
Yeah , can you use your iPhone for the screen instead of the black pearl ?
Thanks for the video. Really helped me understand the setup better.
Thanks so much, followed this guide and it worked perfectly!
Thanks for this video, made it possible for me to install the iosd mini on my Phantom 2.
I just installed my iOSD mini and discovered one small drawback of an inside install. I forgot to update the iOSD firmware. Once it's installed and hooked up can you acess and update the firmware of the iOSD via the external Phantom 2 USB connector?
can you bypass the can bus all together, (cut it off) and just connect the cables of the IOSD to the can bus cables and save some grams?
Can you make a video like this for the dji phantom version 1
ThatHPI GUY does the mini come with a monitor? If not which do you recomend
Hey I got one question:
Can i also install the black pear fpv and all the other things on a fc40?
So I have a dx8 like the one i saw in your video do you have a video installing that as well ?
excellent work.....question mine does have a fpv hub for a dji avl58 that i don´t like....and does not have the yellow brown red black wire...can any one tell me what type of connector is that one.....and the socket where it plugs has 6 pins do you know the sequence???? 1 and 2 dummies or 5 and 6 dummies???..thanks
