Regarding the Phantom 1, is it necessary to upgrade the board for this gimbal to work properly?

Not if you have the latest version of the P1. it'll be the Phantom 1.1.1 with the Naza V2. Your Tx will have a little lever on the back. If you have the Phantom 1.2 or older, all bets are off.

Yes, the GoPro in its original mount fits under the Phantom in the box. If you add an optional motion damper it gets tight but if you angle the GoPro, it still fits with the mount I have. I have experienced no propeller damage and have stored mine in the box in fairly warm conditions. I also balanced my propellers so they have a little less thickness but have observed no change in flying characteristics.

I can only speak to the Phantom 1. But as far as I know only some of the hardware inside the DJI Phantom 2 has changed from one model to the next. Your best bet would be to check the DJI website or check another forums to verify with manufacturers specs. Also Phantompilots website is a good resource. Hope that helps.

Yes it should, check the back of your transmitter for two 'holes' with an 'x'. With that said how it will work will depend on the gimbal you are using (I am using a Tarot gimbal that required customizing the Phantom body to work). It will also require some dissassembly of the Phantom itself to access the proper ports on the Naza-M controller. For higher end video or photography work the ability to tilt the gimbal to frame shots is a must. I also recommend adding an FPV system (I use the Kumba kit) and an iOSD. The iOSD will require installation of the Naza-M V2 PMU. An early Phantom can be built to work 'better' than a stock Phantom 2, but it requires some knowledge of the system and soldering.

If you're talking about the mounting adapter and extended landing gear,you can purchase it here: DJI Part 10 H3-3D Mounting Adapter for Phantom 2 (Old)

It is a gimbal for use of GoPro Hero camera attached to a DJI Phantom 1.0, BUT it is not plug and play. I had a lot of desoldering and soldering, as I installed : 1) an upgrade of the mother board (recommended); 2) an upgrade of the CPU (version 2 of the NAZA-M, recommended) and then finally 3) the Zenmuse board. After that, then the remaining work is plug and play. Luciano

It is possible, you can run a gibal and gopro and buy a set up for fpv for around 399 or fatshark fpv goggles. DO NOT link you gopro to you phone using the gopros wifi or you could experience a flyaway and possible loose your phantom

Yes, any gimbal is technically compatable with the phantom 2, but the h3-3d will produce a smoother picture than the h3-2d and is already set-up if you eventually want to stream first person view. The others will still work but will require additional wiring. Make sure you learn how to fly it before you attach the gimbal so it doesn't accidentally break :-)

I purchased mine in June 2014 and it was listed as "ships and sold by Amazon". When it arrived it was the version 1.1.1 with the Naza 2 installed. I have opened the body to install a gimbal and was able to confirm that mine has the V2 Naza.

Correct, as long it has the upgrade board necessary for a Zenmuse gimbal. It will work with other gimbal types as well, but will require splicing some of the wires.

Search for Simple BGC 2.2b2 - you should be able to download the software and GUI to adjust/operate this gimbal. It's a clone or version of a relatively common gimbal design. I don't advise trying to upgrade firmware - any version other than 2.2b2 appears to brick these gimbals, so just use the firmware that it came with (or flash another copy of 2.2b2 onto it if you need to get back to square one).

Yes, it does come assembled. Where it gets confusing is the wiring if you want to be able to control pitch from DJI remote. There are plenty of videos online. Connecting to Phantom is fairly easy, connecting to the gimbal is a bit of trial and error. I would also recommend running this gimbal off of another battery as it will reduce flight time if tied into DJI battery. I run it off a 2S 7.4v 430mAh LiPo which is light weight, works great!

No J.M. it's actually gotten worse. The latest software update causes the gimbal to literllay die if you even touch it. I now am the proud owner of three of these gimbals! It generally takes 2 or 3 rounds of unplugging the battery and re-pluggin it in to get the gimbal to staly activated. Then, the great part is the gimbal will just go dead in the middle of a flight! You have to land the Phantom and go through the whole battery deal all over again to get it to work. That said, from what I have been reading, most of the other gimbals have just as many problems. There is no customer service to speak of because DJI doesn't respond to it's dealers who then can't respond to us.

Put your question out to multirotorforums.com. They have a DJI phantom section and I am sure you'd get an accurate answer.

The Phantom 1 comes with the same spinner integrated, moulded props as the Phantom 2 Vision. To install the carbon fibre props you need the separate spinners with the hex nut. I've seen them but I don't know where to buy them. Sorry not to be of much help. If you find them let me know. T.
