I read that using Gopro video viewing it on a I-pad while flying interferes with Phantom controls, did they fix that on the V1.2 .

No there is no "Fix" the quad flys on the same frequency as the wifi on the phone and you dont want it anyway The range of the phantom is about 1 mile the range of the gopro wifi is about 100 feet, worthless for first person flying

Hi Mark. I used mine in a home made Quad with Turnigy ESC's and Motors. I didn't connect the GPS until I had done a few shake-down flights. It works fine. I can't see any reason why it shouldn't work with any Quad using 2S-6S LiPo's. Just hook up the receiver channels at one end and the ESC's to the other. I would have a look at the specs on the DJI web page to see if it will physically fit in your Phantom v1. Cheers.

To get FPV from the GoPro you need a transmitter and a receiver monitor. The DJI iOSD puts a lot of useful information on the screen but is not needed to fly FPV. It is very good to have though. When I first got my Phantom I had the set up with just the GoPro, I could only view the video post flight on the phone app or hooked up to a TV. Then I got a transmitter (DJI) and monitor receiver(Flightsight Black Pearl) which worked great. Then I added the iOSD and the information that I receive from that thing makes flying much easier and I think safer. YuoTube has a lot of videos on how to use that set up.

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.

If you have the DJI Phantom 1 yes because the gopro is detachable , Phantom 2 no, camera is attached

1. For firmware updates you simply plug the Phantom to helicopter or controller into your computer with a USB cable. There is a program to download that then checks for firmware updates and tells you if you need any. It's really nicely put together. 2. Yes the GoPro comes with the waterproof casing and some mounting options. It also comes with a wireless remote control. When mounted on the Phantom too. You cannot use the waterproof casing for the camera. The camera mounts by himself on the gambal.

This model didn't have the upgraded software when I bought it, but you are able to get a cable and download the new software on the old ones. As to the gopro interference, I have a hero 3 white edition and never had problems with using a WiFi remote "my iPhone" to start and stop recording. I have heard a lot of negative feed back about the black edition for some reason though.

Similar question. The gopro uses a 2.4 wifi signal. I believe unless you buy the Phantom 2 Vision, the transmitter is 2.4. The signals will not go very well together. If you get the Phantom 2 Vision, I believe the transmitter uses 5.8 ghz so your 2.4 ghz gopro works for FPV.

It will if you have your camera level or pointed up slightly. Also if you make any aggressive movements, as the gimble will keep the camera level and either the landing gear and or props will show up. I fly FPV through my GoPro so can see this and can tilt the camera down slightly via the gimble and correct the problem. Also at this setting fly gently no aggressive manoeuvres and you should be ok. Try some test shots, it's the best way to see what works best for you.....Jim H.

My GoPro works fine within my FPV equipment. I too use 5.8g equipment with a Technicians' license. Please look into that before you invest. I'm not familiar with 3D-robotics. Sounds Cool.Sonny

Yes, sure does. I own two copters. The vision 2 and the phantom two with the h3 3d gimbal and go pro attached, both for just fine. Props an all.

according to this german thread it does yes but it sounds like a small amount of tinkering might be requiredhttp://fpv-community.de/showthread.php?49594-SJ4000-%96-analoger-Video-Ausgang

For the Phantom 1 you need to plug into the Zenmuse hd-2d module. This will give you live view of system status, heading, etc in video output, you need a field monitor and fpv system to see it. Not sure what newer model can plug into. You need a dji can bus port to plug into.

The iosd mini will work with the Phantom one, however, you will also need the DJI PMU. Check the forums to be sure.

Yes, I have had problems with poor video due to Bluetooth. I am obsessive about listening to podcasts on my Android phone through a bluetooth headset and when using the camera system I noticed a very jumpy picture. As soon as I shut off my headset, the picture improved. It improved further when I put the phone in airplane mode. There are many wireless electronic devices that share the 2.4GHz spectrum that could potentially cause interference, but I find the camera system very useful nonetheless.
