    Adding FPV to a Zenmuse equipped Phantom

    I bought the DJI AVL58 TX/RX which I like a lot. It did require me to drill a small hole into the side of the Phantom to run the video cable to the transmitter however. You may not have to do this if you buy the Helipal one. Helipal has changed the power cable to connect to your 3s balance...

    New firmware 3.16 out

    I did the update. Went to fly and the Phantom and it flies in a 15 foot circle around me in GPS Mode. First time this has ever happen in all the flights I've done. Not sure what the issue is yet.

    Pre Install Micro USB for Zenmuse

    I bought the DJI AVL58 TX/RX which I like a lot. It did require me to drill a small hole into the side of the Phantom to run the video cable to the transmitter however. Helipal has changed the power cable to connect to your 3s balance plug on your existing Phantom battery. This is the...

    Pre Install Micro USB for Zenmuse

    On the remote, RX side of the video, I bought a t-connector to a XT60 connector so I could use the same battery as the phantom. On the Phantom I soldered a t-connector wire to the phantom board and ran it out one of the provided port holes.

    Phantom circles

    Did this ever get resolved for you? I went flying yesterday and the phantom starts circling me in GPS Mode. I switch to Att Mode and it stops. I switch back and it starts circling again. I have flown the Phantom 30 plus times with no issue. Weird.

    I went flying yesterday and had the Phantom in GPS Mode. It acquired all satellites but it did not maintain position, it kept flying in a 20 foot radius around me which seemed to progressively get worse. I switched to Atti mode and it stopped at least flying in circles. I upgraded to the new...

    Video Transmitter Question?

    I installed a DJI AVL58 RX/TX Transmitter on my Phantom. I know read/heard somewhere not to turn on the TX without the antenna installed or you can cause damage. On two occasions I forgot to install the antenna only briefly for less than 1 min. What exactly could happen? I'm just trying to...

    So I finished another adaptation of my Phantom...

    I ran a short Micro USB through the battery compartment and left it plugged into the GCU so I didn't have to go back into the Phantom. The cord tucks nicely off to the side of the battery compartment like the Phantom USB. Not sure you can fit two in there with the OSD. I used the DJI AVL58...

    Pre Install Micro USB for Zenmuse

    I love having to take a part my phantom, NOT. I have installed the Zenmuse Gimbal and a few other goodies like the DJI AVL58 Transmitter for viewing my video (FPV) on a receiver mounted 5" monitor. Unfortunately I was to fast to close up the Phantom before I realized I needed to plug in the...
