first thing you'll likely have to do is run the firmware updates on the motors and controllers so that you can enable stick-position mode for doing manual tilt-down (provided you have a Tx that can do it, or if you modify your Phantom Tx, well worth it).
-pick up a tiny Phillips screwdriver if you haven't already
-and a 1.5 hex driver as well, which is almost necessary for removing the gopro from the mount.
(get a 2.0mm hex driver too for opening/closing the Phantom).
think you might also need a longer servo cable for doing tilt as well, tho I didn't not install my Tarot onto my Phantom (just my 450)
How do you run the firmware? It is a rar file?Gizmo3000 said:congrats guys!

I got in my Tarot and started building it... and found out that the "build it and its ready to fly" bs on ebay is just that... bs... it doesnt come with the particular mounting plate for the Phantom itself :evil: I guess it will be another week before I get the next piece to the puzzle to get this thing in the air....
You don't need the adapter plate. You can mount it right to the Phantom's shell. Drill some small holes, install standoffs, and you're off to the races. It's a few minutes of work.

After hours of pain, all set up..thanks for the advice.. Tarot has -0 customer service and invisible help online,however, noticed the difference in video quality is amazing. I also noticed unfortunatly that my fly time dropped 3 mins. oh well I guess thats the price you pay for improvements. Any suggestions on motor improvements. lol... that will be another post
