Hello Phantom Pilots,
First off, I should mention that I am an amateur Phantom pilot and have only been flying for a few months now. Additionally, I'm not experienced with soldering. That being said, I love my Phantom 1 and have been having a great time with it so far, although I quickly realized that a gimbal is pretty much required for for capturing quality footage.
My latest video is about as smooth as I can record things without using a gimbal:

Anyway, I recently purchased the Zenmuse H3-3D Standard edition, along with the Naza-M V2 PMU, with the hopes of installing the gimbal to my Phantom 1.1.1.
My first question regarding the install process is, since my Phantom is a v1.1.1., is the V2 PMU required for the install? I've read lots about the difference between using the upgrade board over the V2 PMU, however, it seems that those options are meant for Phantom 1 version 1 users. Any clarification on this would be greatly appreciated.
Secondly, I have been unable to find any information regarding the installation process of the H3-3D on the Phantom 1. I have found videos for the install on the Phantom 2, and manuals for the install on the Phantom 2 and FlameWheels, but nothing for the Phantom 1. The video from DJI showing the install of the H3-3D on the Phantom 2 shows there is no soldering required, so I know that likely means the install will be much different on the Phantom 1.
The assume the video from DJI showing the install of the H3-2D on the Phantom 1 will be similar to the install process, but I'm not sure if it is exactly the same install process or not.
Please help, Phantom Pilots!
Oh and I've been receiving a lot of speculative answers from people who do not actually know for sure the correct process or answers to my questions, so I would appreciate hearing answers from people who actually have a Phantom 1.1.1 and have already installed a H3-3D.
Thanks!
