Can you install an iOS Mini on a Phantom 1.1.1?

I have my Phantom pulled apart watching a video on installing an iOS Mini on a Phantom 2 (Non-Vision). I've removed the Can-Bus port, but I don't see the module connection on the port for the Mini power cable. Also, I can't find the brown,orange,brown,yellow wires coming from the circuit board where the NAZA sits to connect the video in/out wires to the Mini. I do not have a gimbal on my Phantom. So it appears to me that an iOS Mini can't be installed on this model.

What does your Phantom's mainboard look like?

If it looks like the one on the top, you need a motherboard upgrade or a PMU V2.

If it's the bottom board, you can solder an iOSD mini directly to the mainboard with a little bit of modding.

Thanks for your reply. It is that top board. I guess it's time to step up to a Phantom 2 (Non-Vision).

You can also get the upgrade board for $50 and do the canBus mod.

Yep the upgrade board is really no big deal, and is so much cleaner than using the PMU / etc for the Zenmuse (which is what I have) and allows for a pretty straight forward iOSD mod.

I am not doing iOSD, but I use Flytrex to collect flight data and overlay on my GoPro vids post-process. Pretty neat technology and fun to track your runs and maximums. Turns you into a bit of a daredevil though :-/
