Hi everybody,
I bought several months ago a Phantom 2 in a box containing also a nice black boxed Zenmuse 3-3 gimbal. I mounted it apparently with no problems. I say "apparently" because I have not yet flawn with it. I added also a Hero 3+ gopro camera (not included).
The mounting process triggered in my mind some questions I would be grateful if someone kindly will answer.
I set two links via ribbon cable: a) pre-intalled stripe cable (8 pin) coming ot by the Phantom body to the anti-interference board ant then to the Zenmuse female 8 pin plug; b) short connection from the back of the camera holder to the side camera female plug via the output board connector.
Questions are:
1 I did'nt mount any gimbal controller (apparently as from istructions not required). I read somewhere that the gimbal requires a controller (IMU, CMU) (also sold separately). Is it reasonable to suppose that the controller is included in the Phantom 2 internal flight controller (probably a Naza-M)?
2 Which is the function of connection b)? On the transmitter I have only, on the rear, a kind of slide lever. I suppose it controls the camera position on X axis, but has no control on start/stop of the camera. May be connection b) is able to deliver camera images, for a kind of FPV. In this case, wich will be the complete setting to receive at ground such images? And wich will be the complete route of the signal?
Thank you very much in advance,
