Can you power this Gimbal from the balance connector of your main DJI Phantom battery? If not, where do you have to tie in to pull power? Is there any soldering required to do the installation?

The package inculdes JST cables to connect the gimbal and battery. You can power the gimbal by simply connecting the gimbal to the battery through the cable, no soldering needed. We suggest the battery to be 12V. If you want to power the gimbal by DJI phantom battery, you need to get a compatible connecting port. Mochalight

the light is powered by the "balance plug" which is a second connector on the 11.1V 3 cell battery used on Phantom 1 and 1.2 (FC40). If the Phantom 2 battery has a balance plug lead, then no problem (splice) the light in. If not, you will have to go into the innards of the copter and get the power off some one of the components soldered or plugged into the motherboard....this light is such low draw, you could also grab power from one of those flat disc batteries (like the CR2032) and tape that onto the fuselage (not clean but workable). I am not sure if this is all you expect anyway...it only throws enough light like the little LED flashlights.

The TX is rated for something like 5-6V and the DJI is 12v. I think it would fry if you did that. I had no problem with the extra weight of the tx and tx battery.

If you get the Phantom 2 PnP adapter you will not need to charge it. It will run off the Phantom 2 battery.

hello, this is not a DJI product, so it won't void the warranty from DJI, as the pictures show, one side of the connector will connect with your phantom, the other side will connect with two batteries, please let me know if you need more help, thank you! B.regards N

There is a diagram on their FAQ page, but no instructions. You need to cut the wires supplied with the kit and soldier them to the 4 wires that come from the arm under the wires for the gimbal. The wires are Yellow, Brown, Red, Brown. Attach the yellow wire to the video wire (white on mine), black to brown, red to red, and black to brown. I did them in pairs, wrapped the wires, then stuffed them into the body of the phantom.

Hey Robert yes it does, and it works perfectly. If you need more information email me. I couldn't find any videos on YouTube about it so I installed it myself and I did a pretty neat job it's all inside the phantom, there is another little thing you need to get it's called buss hub

I need to supply phantom power. If you don't have it available on your board, you will need to get a power source.

You don't need power TO the gopro... You only need video out to the xmitter. search for gopro 3 fpv cable. readymadercdotcom has them. If you have the 3 BLACK, be careful... The video has been known to cut out in mid flight. Then you crash your model. Better off getting a dedicated fpv camera from the above website.

if the phantom 2 battery has a balance plug, it will work, it plugs into the balance plug for charging the battery

I have the hero 4 black and it mounts perfectly to the zenmuse h3-3d. Obviously you could just mount the gopro to the bottom of the phantom without the gimbal, but it would pick up every shake and vibration. My rec is pay the money for the zenmuse gimbal. The only challenge here for me has been the FPV option. I ordered the kumba FPV kit from Amazon, tried it, didn't like it, and sent it back. It's overpriced and has poor range in my opinion. Currently looking for other options. Good luck.

Phantom uses the XT60 connector (yellow). Buy batteries with XT60 connectors and avoid splices. Battery cord stowage on Phantom is tight and connectors and wires get abused. Connectors fit tightly so suggest a little sand papering with a fine grade. Cheers...

It draws it's power from the quad copters power so it wouldn't work right handheld. They do make 2 and 3 axis handheld gimbals for gopro. seach on Amazon and you'll find one.

There is no balancer plug from the LiPo battery available, unlike in the previous Phantom 1 version. Also no flat place to mount the LED.

Hi trevor Unfortunately, I have not received my dji phantom now, but I am almost sure that you do not need an adaptor.

Yes you can. I have an aftermarket 1800 3s battery with both the AR Drone connector and a balance charger lead. I just plugged in the balance charger plug and the transmitter powered up. I use a splitter cable I bought to power an LED which has the same plug as the balance line. I would not recommend relying on the balance charger lead as they are typically very short which could make mounting a bit challenging. However the power board for the Fatshark is connected via an 8 inch long wire to the transmitter board so there is a lot of flexibility on mounting.

Solder what exactly. You will more than likely have to solder something up to get power to the cam but it isn't required.
