My setup is similar to yours, but not exact. I don't use 2 batteries, I don't have upgraded motors, my video TX is a 250Mw Fatshark and I don't have a mic or an alarm. I do use a single 2500mAh Hyperion battery, use 9 inch props and have an OSD. I currently get about 6-8 minutes of flight...

I had audio off of my TX directly from the GoPro on a previous servo based gimbal. To be honest, all you get is the motor noise which can be good or bad depending on your point of view. You can hear when the motors are stressing... really well... but then again, that's all you hear. So it can...

Here is the Pacific Coast Hobbies Carbon Fiber look wrap/skin. I was thinking about using the 3M faux Carbon Fiber vinyl, but I think the PCH product is quite a bit lighter (it doesn't look quite as nice as the 3M product though).

Thanks! Now if I could just convince my wife the Phantom needs an S800 to keep it company... :lol:

The two biggest things I would change is to remove the original manufacturer's enclosures, and would not use the cables/adapters that came with the components. Those two things alone would reduce the weight by half. I went into the build thinking I wanted to have the components removable and...

Thanks guys. I'd probably do a lot of things differently on a second go around, but it was fun to build never the less.

Well, here goes my first try posting a pic or two... Just finished up my ground station for FPV'ing so thought I would share it. Entire thing was built by hand, so not CNC type precision, but still came out pretty nice. Recently installed an EZOSD in my Phantom, so the whole setup integrates...

I think (I have no data to support other than noticing the different issues reported on the various forums), the "no video out" issue is far less common than the screeching motors issue. That, or the percentage of folks using FPV to folks just flying by sight is considerably small... so the...

You can ignore the green and white wires unless you plan on using any device that uses the audio channels for telemetry (i.e. EZOSD, Tiny Telemetry, etc.). The VCC red wire ("Voltage at a Common Connector" or "Common Collector Voltage"... depends on who you ask) from the ImmersionRC transmitter...

According to the manual for the upgrade board (http://download.dji-innovations.com/dow ... .00_en.pdf - page 1), the yellow is the signal wire, the red is VCC and the brown is ground. I used the yellow wire for the video in to the TX and the brown wire for the ground in my installation and it...

Hi tobycool23, I had the exact same symptom as you on a V1 H3-2D. I didn't have the option of trying two sets of gimbals for parts, but did try both the upgrade board and the GCU/PMU installation option. Neither worked. I ended up returning the gimbal to my retailer (B&H Photo) for an...
