I am having the same problem except I made my problem worse by resetting the gimbal. When I got my phantom 1 there was a card in the box with a number for a drone specialist if you have a similar card call it and spend as long as you can with that drone specialist. I recently called dji support with my problems and was pushed off the phone because I took up too much time. So the only way I see how you can fix the problem is if you you talk to someone who understands what your talking about and actually wants to help.

The controller has been updated with new features - built in lipo battery with led battery level indicator, and scroll dial near index finger for gimbal tilt control (in V1 it was located on the back of the controller, which is cumbersome, IMO). New motors and propellers have also been upgraded in the Phantom to allow greater thrust and control, which will allow for greater equipment load. Also, the anti-static compass has been updated.

Yes, you need the V2 PMU, but it's better if you buy the upgrade mainboard (zenmuse h3-2d upgrade kit) instead the V2 PMU. Also with the upgrade kit you can control the tilt option of the gimbal. You need to dissemble the Phantom, and some soldering experience are required.

The controler does NOT come with this gimbal. When you buy a gimbal from another vendor where they DO have a circut board included, then the power is received 1 of 2 ways: #1 = Wires from the gimbal circut board can be feed into the circut board inside the Phantom. This circut board inside the Phantom gets it's power from the battery you install in the Phantom. So in effect, you power both the Phanton and the gimbal off the same circut board. #2 = You can power the gimbal directly from the on board battery. The battery has 2 connectors. One is for the motors, the other connectorisn't being used unless you need to recharge the battery. So, when the battery is on the Phantom, that second cable is not being used and the gimbal has a connector that fits that battery's second wire. Your choice in how you wire it.

There are several versions of the phantom 1, the first one, the second one, and then 1.1.1. I'm not sure which one this is for, but try looking this up on forums. I know there are slight differences, and only the exact transmitter will work with whatever model you have.

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.

You need a canbus port on your phantom in order to use the iosd mini. If you don't have one, you can add one with the naza pmu v2

Yes, i have the same setup... I had to open my phantom tought to fit iOsd mini and other components... Watch for the weight increase! Works good, not the best signal i ever seen...

As far as I know, no. I bought the FC-40 for my son, and he took video just fine by itself. I have the Phantom 1, with a gimbal and a GOPro Hero 3 camera. No wi-fi signal of any kind should be on, as it will interfere with the compass. Here where I live, there are too many Wi-Fi signals, and it is difficult to calibrate the copter. The lights will flash red and yellow. Be sure to wait for the sequence of the lights before you fly!

I was told the Phantom 2 cannot support a go pro, or so the mfg told me. It will hold the standard cam and gimbal. There are also extra storage spots where additional equipment could be stored. Overall, I like the case. There is also a backpack out there, which may be easier to lug around.

nope the phantom 3 comes already with its own hd camera! &#128515; and with its gimbal to stabalize much better the footage than what this product does, this product is only for phantom 1 and 2

Sorry, but I'm not sure. I have the Phantom 2 and had it built and put together by B&H; Photo. I bent the Gimbal that they installed, so bought and installed this 2nd Gimbal thru Amazon and just put it right on without any secondary parts. It was a replacement, though, so I don't know if B&H; put the Naza on when they did the original install. I don't think so, though.

Don't buy unless you can afford a new phantom, DJI will not replace units that fall out of the air or fly off un expectadely. I have e mails to show the lack of good or caring business.... Once you buy it they don't care about your purchase.... Please read testimonials, they are true.

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.

hello there. not sure if it works with vision+ i own the phantom 2 (not vision) and it works. It comes with a piece of paper that you can call "instructions" but is useless, i personally could not understand it. But there is a very handy tutorial in youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFfZP_F1zdE for the record... the controller board is horrible and it broke very easy. i have asked for replacement 2 times already.if you have more budget i recommend different gimbal.hope i could help on your decision.

I installed it on a DJI F450, not sure about a phantom. I think the phantom 2 uses a flight controller with more features like the regular NAZA.

I have worked with the Phantom units before with other cameras (like go pro, etc.) - and while I have not used the Gear Pro specifically, I can't see why it wouldn't work - you may have to do a little "fitting" but it should be a piece of cake...the Gear Pro is light enough that it shouldn't cause any issues with controlling the craft!!
