    FPV in the US?

    I was looking at getting into an FPV system when I came across a disclaimer that states you don't need a license in the US to buy FPV but you need a license to use it. I see allot of posts about FPV and I am just wondering if this license is something I need or don't need? I would hate to...

    please help. gimbal hook up.

    I understand your confusion on how to connect this. I purchased the phantom upgrade board then I purchased a gimbal. looks like just about the exact same one as you have. only difference that I can see is that the power on my gimbal is run off of the balance port from the battery. then...

    Question from a new owner
