DJI iOSD mini detailed install & DVR flight footage (on screen display) That HPI Guy

[@Canuk38]

Just added an mini osd to my P2 and had my first flight yesterday. Searched for an hour for a good explanation of the display's meaning and yours is by far the best. Thank you

[@oyam23]

Just want you to know that you really helped me a lot in developing my quad from a simple RTF to a RTF/FPV with IOSD system. Hope you'll continue to seek the needs of rc quad enthusiast for them to fully enjoy this hobby as much as I do.

[@mycatsam]

I just ordered an iOSD mini and only after wondered how I would connect it to my GoPro & Fat Shark tx. I was about to post the question on a forum but decided to search first. As usual, That HPI Guy has just the video I need. Thanks Richard!

[@YourTechGuide.]

just ordered mine, can't wait to install it soon!

[@Theeslickness]

Thanks! This really helped me understand the iOSD Mini features. It wasn't clear with the DJI website and such. What I really needed to know is if it has home position, altitude, and amp. Now I know it has everything I need except the amps.

[@t.seaverphotography9581]

Awesome review. Couldn't be better! DJI should be showering you in gold for explaining their products 1000x better than they do!

[@ThatHPIGUY]

yeah I said that wrong didn't I , its more of an attitude gauge for the quad. it shows what the quad is doing and not a horizon. I have not plugged it into the assistant yet but you might be able to change it like you said.

[@TonyHobbs]

Wow, what an amazing piece of kit. Thanks Richard.

[@DonMilligan]

Really like this video, have enjoyed watching this style of copters for a few years now and this video really put things into perspective.

[@TonyHobbs]

Hi Don, Yes, and the small world, I was chatting to Richard (the poor bugger putting up with me lol ;) and found this video, it.turns out its his channel at Quadcopters UK.

[@TonyHobbs]

Getting very excited to get this soon :) Just hope I don't crash it lol!

[@DonMilligan]

Tony, Yep I have been following QuadCopters almost since the beginning, really cool stuff and the advances in technology seems to have exploded recently, I am looking forward to your wild camps with a copter, should be interesting LOL.

[@TonyHobbs]

Haha I'm way behind. But with this and.puppy exciting times ahead :) It's dangerous getting ideas in my head lol ;) I see they do new v2 goggles now. It'll take awhile to figure it all out as I know zilch.

[@jr10]

I am glad I subbed your channel. This is the most in depth explanation of the IOSD I have seen. Great help for us new pilots. :) Well done sir! Thank you.

[@GeorgeStephen1959]

the DJI iOSD mini looks pretty cool, sure does make for a neater installation

[@BluSky1]

Great Video of the IOSD mini, i would pickup a 600TVL sony cam for FPV gopro video out works but the fish-eye and black border makes it not optimal

[@randystoneman6407]

Thank you!! Just got mine this weekend and the manual was brief with its descriptions!!

[@fdnyfish]

Rich, could you please do a video connecting a Phantom 2 with Zenmuse to a immersion 5.8TX and dji mini iosd.

[@Palermoatsea]

Having the same problem. Hooking up the transmitter to the IOSD mini is no problem. Bu i don't know where the transmitter is getting its power form . Cant find any manual about that.

[@aoa7141]

www.dji.com/download/phantom-2-downloads/ Phantom 2 User Manual v1.04 Figure 1-5

[@Palermoatsea]

Abdulla Alqassemi You are my hero of the week. Next week is my girlfriend back on top :-) no seriously Have looked at this manual several times. but looked over it. Thx man :-)

[@aoa7141]

welcome man ;)

[@jack00scarecrow]

looks great Richard , thanks for all the vids, you have literally got me off the ground . keep up the good work

[@charlescoushaine]

Another great video - Thanks! Are these available now to buy?

[@VSUPARHAM]

Pretty awesome review there. Any chance that you did this same flying review for the EzOSD? I'm looking to compare all of the top OSD's. I want to see them in action before I commit. I wish someone would do a head-to-head comparo. (EzOSD, iOSD, minimOSD)

[@ThatHPIGUY]

you will use the video out from the H3 2D BEFORE the isod. just wire the signal wire and ground into the iosd then out to the video transmitter :)

[@MarkovAllTrades]

Although the EZosd unit seemed messy, the thing it can do is link to an Antenna Tracker module on the ground to direct your antennas at your craft. Is the DJI iOSD mini possible to pass through the GSP data to the right audio channel of the video transmitter like the EZosd unit does?

[@rasc-images]

Thanks for the good explanations. I will install mine tonight. Just one comment on the height. It is not showing the height above ground, as you said, but the height in relation to your take-off point. I guess this is important, as one might think he is 2m high and crashes, as it is just 2m higher that the tai-off and not above the actual ground.

[@charlescoushaine]

Richard - I got talked into installing the new PCB into my Phantom for use with the H3-2D instead of the PMU v2, however, DJI never provided a CanBus port on this board. How can I now hook up this iOSD? I heard DJ was working on a cable, but haven't seen one offered yet. Can you help?

[@carr869]

Very informative video. Thank you for taking the time to make and share this with us. (Tom)

[@smithyrtd]

Brilliant stuff, just as im about to place a order for the immersions kit i see this video. Well thank you for the upload. I just hope the phantom is compatible with all this. Im sure it is as the pmu is used for the zenmuse isn't it?

[@victorskunk1]

great review on the iosd. got one because of your video. like the diamond showing home base, small and pairs-up with naza v2. thanks.......

[@OfficialCytation]

The ground on ur camera goes to the ground directly next to the video in ground, and the other ground from the video out plugs into the ground that plugs into your transmitter.

[@JoshRogers117]

Great review. Good vid quality and very informative. Good to see there's somebody out there putting out good content.

[@Systems1]

Very cool indeed. Will this work with my DJI Phantom ?

[@GeneAtTheLake]

I've gotten a lot out of your videos, Richard, including this one . Thanks!

[@lashley370z]

Using the iOSD with the Naza M V2, is there much lag in the video that you see on the monitor? Can you recommend a monitor with good daytime readability for a good price? Thanks for the great video.

[@fishycomics]

So in order to actually know if I got a LITe I must open and look at my Rx should it say V2 on it? dam al lthis work Lol HPI-Guy thank you for your hard work I watched Johnny megs vid. the Cyclops storm or breeze, this sold me. why the low battery part, distance. and YOU!! I own a DJI V1.1.1 firmware is updated one time not sure to what. I know I need two parts. Ihave the skills, Just did not want to spend the dough just yet, till I find my answers. thanks again thumbed up at 904 commented at 219. FISH

[@FredericoRamos]

Very nice review ! Just what I needed to decide to buy the iOSD mini. Thanks !

[@markcampbell602]

Thanks for this video, its confirmed what I thought, I've now ordered it and looking forward to trying to make the lead myself. you made it look easy, the instructions from DJI were hard to follow. thanks

[@Senegal01]

Have you found anyway to have Imperial System on the iOSD mini? Us folks in the states are not metric folks. I have wrote to DJI four or five times and nothing. Too bad I cannot write code or I do it myself.

[@thisisMilindRaj]

Sorry but anyone can tell me what music is been played in the background? 03:43

[@sardjantube]

Hi ThatHPI GUY, nice and useful video!!! does dji phantom fc40 already have PMU? so i just purchase iosd mini only? it uses naza m v2 too, please advise

[@kellio48]

Great vid and thanks very much for sharing, however I'm a little disappointed that from all accounts, it won't work with the Naza light.

[@raynicee]

you must first upgrade your Naza Lite to V2 naza-upgrade.com/ please donate!

[@mctaggart99]

Yes i bought a Naza lite and you can upgrade the firmware to v.2 with a easy upload, you can then add on all the great extras of the V2 :) you just need to buy your self a V2 PMU and also the IOSD lite.

[@RobBob555]

+Ray Nyce why donate ?? what do you need money for ??

[@FlyingWild]

hi, is it possible to display the coordinates somehow ? in case of a remote crash, this would be very helpful ...

[@marluzkat]

Hi there great video. I actually installed the mini OSD on my V1 Naza with GPS. For some reason after each flight and when I replace a lipo for the next flight. I would have to rebind to my TX . Any suggestions why this happens?

[@robbiz76]

Thanks for the great video! I like it when I get to see the building process and also a little demonstration video :-) Keep up the good work!

[@KristenRankin]

Really great video, was able to get mine up and running last night. I had a question about resolution on the Black Pearl. In the manual, I see that the display can do a resolution something like 1024x600.. yet when I go to the menu it says 480i. Is there anyway to increase the resolution? Thanks!

[@kelvinkempson4570]

Thanks good vid I've just picked up a storm srd 370 with same osd and googled understanding home point. Now I do thanks

[@davekaye32]

Great Video, Where did you get the lead to plug into your go pro for video out and power. Dave

[@SergiMedina]

I miss a time counter in all Phantom settings. Does iOSD Mini warns you about low-level battery?

[@barbourj22]

You didn't put shrink tube on each wire before soldering together?

[@lustigewg80]

hmmm, I use the Naza M V1 with gps, including PMU V2, LED V2 and iOSD Mini. Firmware 4.02 it works, but I get no distance or homepoint direction shown...

[@emgee44]

Nice review, I've been looking this myself and you answered some key questions for me, especially if it uses the NAZA GPS. Can you tell me what motors you're using, I want to upgrade my stock DJI and looking at the Torxpower 2216 900kv. Cheers

[@edwardelligson9276]

Thanks for the video it will help me out, Have one question why is it you think the height isn't on point.

[@blackmennewstyle]

Does the PMU is a must-need for working? You can not directly connecting it to the Naza-M Flight controller?

[@ThatHPIGUY]

posted it in the desc, but its not for sale yet*

[@TheSwiftnick]

Great video. Now convinced me to buy the MiniOSD for my quad. Cheers!

[@Baoman2012]

Hi! I would like ask you something... Is possible showing the coordinates in the screen? I think it is desireble in case of the crash (for track it). Thanks!

[@francoistexier5487]

Hi! Nice vid. Just received mine. I am puzzled though by the connection of the iOSD to the cam and Tx. I am OK with the the video connection, from the vid > iOSD > Tx, but what about the ground connection? Since the power of the vid is comming from the Tx, do you just connect GND.vid > iOSD > GND.Tx

[@carr869]

Is there a video concerning the software down load. How to sorta thing?

[@postandfly]

Great review!!!! best regards.

[@williamgillie1830]

Hello I am going to fit iosd to my Phantom 1.2 I have H2-3d fitted with pmu v2 and the Zemuse box,I have ordered the iosd mini do I need to order any other parts,I can not find a video on KZbin only for Phanto 2 regards Billy

[@Caseytheradioguy]

this just saved me a lot of time and money, getting a phantom 2 v2.0. instead of the vision ( not plus one ) being I have a Gopro H4, deff building my one setup, which i can transfer to of things as i build them :D Thanks :D

[@marianohernandez198]

Really nice video also I got a question I got already f450.whit gimbal an a gopro. An retracted landing gear .I'm using two 3s.11 volts. battery of 2200.on parallel an it gives me 12.minutes flying time but it looks likes is to much weight already. If I jump to f550 I know the It will handle more payload but the question is if the f550. Would give same run time whit the battery the I mentioned please reply

[@nmrtnz22]

Hi, can you get it to display the coordinates with the OSD. Thanks

[@Nykkytta]

Thank you. You made it a lot easier for me. Will do my first FPV tomorrow with a phantom 2.

[@jsrtkt]

Another great video, love all the on screen info, can I send you my Gimbal so you can fix it for me after a small crash as I don't have a clue what I'm doing lol

[@aRiZedA]

Thanks for the informative vid as always. I need one of those Lens Hoods! Any idea when they will be available? And if it works with wide or medium FOV? Thanks!

[@blablub]

Thanks for the details. Is the Voltage allways shown? I mean if you switch off the internal warnings. Asking since I use sometime 3S and 4S on the same Setup and cannot change it when beeing outsite.

[@mikekeen9710]

that was a good help knew some of it you just tidied it up for me cheers

[@DOJIELDIENVE]

so the iosd install does not use the video out cable provide with the zenmuse? when you first started the fpv video i could se the gopro data display and iosd display both on your monitor. how did you get rid of the gopro data display and was it in the way of the iosd display? great video, thanks.

[@kanelupis]

Is there a way to invert the artificial horizon? (ie, make it display like an actual artifical horizon?)

[@BanditAU01]

Great vid - This is a great little piece of kit. I want to put one in my Phantom. Do you know if it will work? IF it does then I was planning on installing it with the upgraded main board so I don't need the PMU for the H3-2D but I cant see how this would connect into the NAZA on the Phantom - any ideas?

[@mattweisz]

Are you able to setup the artificial horizon? In your video it goes the opposite way it should be going for both pitch and roll.

[@seberila]

Good video and impressive flying

[@davidcmckee]

Great Video is there any adjustment for the Height indicator? I just installed mine and the height is showing - 4 on the ground? Is this a problem with Naza calibration or settings?

[@4NDR3SV]

Nice video. I Am getting noise in the video, even the in the recordered version on my SD memory, Do you know what it´s the problem? I am using one battery for the copter and other for the video transmiter. I Tried to join ground terminal of both but the problem continues. Can you help me.

[@chriswebber943]

Hi, Just received a DJI IOSD mini. I have a Q? I'm running a Discovery Pro with which carries a few extra solder points e.g. Audio, Vid, Gnd. Instead of cutting and soldering extra wires to setup the iosd. Is there a short cut I can use by using these extra solder points! Or do I have to go into the side of the go-pro. Using the gimbal I'm a little tight on space.

[@davidknowles2218]

Your setup looks almost identical to mine - FatShark 600 TX, GoPro Hero3 Black, DJI IOSD, Naza M-V2. However, I've had 2 IOSD Mini units and with both the IOSD Mini LED flashes and there is no video transmitted at all (no GoPro image and no OSD image). The first IOSD Mini got very hot and the case melted so I returned it under warranty - the LED was flashing too so I assumed that this was a fault. The 2nd IOSD seems OK but has a flashing LED and no signal. Does yours flash or is the LED lit constantly (as the instructions suggest it should be when operating normally)? Any advice you can offer would be very gratefully received.

[@RcNdi]

If I update my V1 Phantom with the DJI Phantom Upgrade Kit Main Board for Zenmuse GoPro H3-2D with Transmitter Tilt Lever (KIT) will I still need a PMU v.2?

[@jester3265]

Hi, this is an old post but.....I'm running my dji mini with a 3way cam switch. Do I just split the video in and Gnd to connect with each cam?

[@stevelaminack1516]

So to use this OSD on my dji Phantom 1.1 I would need the PMU D2, correct? What about the Phantom 2 and it's variants? Thanks

[@brianfindsall]

Hello Hpi guy, can you tell me if this works on my android phone/tablet screen too. thankyou or any help. cheers bri

[@rasheedgregory3459]

Can the set you used be used for rc planes as well or just quadcopters?

[@Manolo7]

Hi. I have a question, do you know why the transmitted video with the osd blinks or flashes? I've sen a lot of videos from different people and all blinks

[@MarcoMancini01]

how you managed to remove the settings of gopro that view in video?? Thank you

[@winstonbanks1057]

Hello I'm LI'm plunged to buy one of these iosd tell me something will work on a fc40 phantom

[@thejason51873]

Can you change it to Feet and Miles Per Hour rather than Meters?

[@RadialGlow]

Why is your artificial horizon working incorrectly? It's showing the *not* horizon when you pitch and roll. Is there a setting to change or have you got the sensor mounted upside down/backwards?

[@djsiuk]

Hi Richard. Looked for the Simon Says gopro lens hood protector and I can't find it on the site. Do you have any links?

[@Vass881234]

Text book review, thank you. What are you recording the Tx video with back at home position? Thanks

[@Zoomer1973]

Are you running the fatshark filter on the tx power supply lead or do you just solder the tx power lead to the nearest power point on the board?

[@edrendorio2480]

Is it Normal for the IOSD Mini to be blinking green light when you power it up? If not, what would be the solution or what is wrong with it?

[@MyDave3000]

Hi how did you step down the power to all of your items from a 4s battery as the go pro and iosd mini require 5volts

[@billysheik]

Hallo Arthur. Weißt du, warum meine hexacoptor startet mit nur drei Motoren (Motor 1-5-6) und, wenn die Drosselklappe 50% überschreitet, dann starten Sie den Motor 2, 3 und 4. Ich änderte den ESC und programmierte sie manuell. Ich habe die Verkabelung überprüft und der Schalter erhält. Nichts hilft. Ich benutze Naza m V2. 30 Ampere. ESC und Motor 2212 / 13h 1000 KV. Grüße, Palle Dänemark (Google Translate)

[@ricardopr54]

Greetings my friend. Question, Is there a way to switch the data of the iosd mini to show the speed in mph and the altitude and distance in feet or miles? Thank you in advance. Great video.

[@RussellKentNicholls]

Sorry, from what I've read, I don't think this is an option.

[@christianconlacca]

Hey, Which propellers are those? I have same F550 but mine seems has problem to take off. It's weight is 2,0 kg Mine mount engine dji 2212. Which one is the best propeller for this engine? Thanks so much

[@gazilew]

I want to get into this hobby more but this is rocket science!!!!!!!!

[@emthreekia]

Hi, are you able to remove unwanted displays from the screen? say pitch/roll degrees. Can you change the units of measurements from metric to imperial? Thanks

[@niponsribanpot3964]

A very helpful video instructions you made. Thank you

[@xicofixas]

i got a really noob question, will the osd info be on your gopro recorded footage or will only be streamed to your fatshark's?

[@TheFram44]

Hi i am using a Foxtech 5.8G 32CH video transmitter TS832 which has a CAM GND- , CAM V OUT+, and VIDEO IN (plus the 2 power cabels) then i have my Gopro cable from left to right YELLOW, RED and DARK BROWN, and then there is the iOSDmini cable GND, VIDEO OUT, GND, VIDEO IN, could you help and tell me what i solder together i am a bit lost

[@gsstyles1]
