DJI Phantom 2 FPV - How to install a Fat Shark or ImmersionRC FPV system on a Phantom 2

[@markwright1757]

Simon, Congratulations on excellent clear video

[@markpulling12]

Hi total newbie question here ,is the fpv camera on the phantom actually the gopro camera or is there another small camera that im not seeing ? thanks.

[@fpv-uk]

GoPro 3/ 3+ through the Zen Muse gimbal.

[@IamBaghdaddy]

I noticed you didn't use the Fatshark filter board which comes with the transmitter. Are there any pros or cons from leaving it off?

[@fpv-uk]

That board is mainly to make it easy to plug in a 2S, 3S or 4S balancer plug to your FPV system to power it. That isn't required here.

[@tjtieu]

Received the cable, thanks. Installed and flight tested, signal cutting in and out is that normal. flight was within 200-300ft.

[@tjtieu]

Using Fatshark attitude 2V

[@Shaedirector]

Can the gopro record 2.7k and still output for the fpv?

[@MrCamposJorge]

Hello Simon, I would like to know where is the gimbal connected with the gopro, if it is! Because in your video it does not show that! Just the gopro turned on (i see the red light on) and no cables in it! Also went on your videos and could find one that show that! Thanks in advance. My setup is a Phantom 2 (no vision), Gopro hero black 3, Fatshark teleporter V3, and a Gimbal H3-3D that cames with a device to reduce the interference (it says in the manual). It also cames with a cable to the gopro, but I don't know if it is the right cable to use with the fatshark.

[@FirstpersonviewCoUk]

+Jorge Campos Yes it is connected. The H3-2D had a connector which connector to the port on the back of the GoPro. No need for a USB connection.

[@MrCamposJorge]

+FirstPersonView.co.uk Thank you. I found another video which shows my setup! They change it to a side connector on the H3-3D! Thanks for the fast reply though.

[@FirstpersonviewCoUk]

+Jorge Campos They did, except the very first batch of H3-3D.

[@Lenny7118]

Hi nice easy setup. I have the same question as someone else already posted; How do I add the DJI IOSD mini to your setup ? Thanks

[@fpv-uk]

You can use the iOSD Mini version of the cable on our website: www.firstpersonview.co.uk/cables/phantom-2-iosd-mini-transmitter

[@fpv-uk]

***** we have that cable on our website - minus the filter. In fact that device is just a simple way to give customers the convenience to connect to 2s, 3s or 4s batteries which is not relevant here. I've never used one in 5 years of using Fat shark gear and never had a problem.

[@highestvirtue1892]

Simon I would like to add FPV and have a Monitor (not googles) with a mini OSD, I am confused which cable I need?

[@fpv-uk]

This one: www.firstpersonview.co.uk/cables/phantom-2-iosd-mini-transmitter

[@highestvirtue1892]

Hi Simon. What is Diversity? And what type of reciever is best? What is the difference between the imnersion RC recievers? If I buy the cheaper transmitter will I get clear FPV video? Sorry I am new! I have been flying a version 1 Phantom with no FPV or gimbal, but would like to move up with the Phantom 2 I recieved.

[@fpv-uk]

Here's our explanation of Diversity: www.firstpersonview.co.uk/blog/equipment/diversity/ Click on the heading to see a comparison of the different products in each question. A diversity receiver (like the DUO500) is more advanced and more expensive. All the best Simon

[@Lenny7118]

Simon Dale I need to know which cables to use to connect the immersion TX to the dji mini iosd. I am aware of the other components you listed. I haven't found any videos showing the full setup ( connecting the mini iosd to the fat shark/ immersion TX ). Thanks

[@imagesofpower9636]

Hello! I'm looking at using the avl 58 5.8 transmitter with the phantom two...do you by chance have a plug and play for that ?

[@fpv-uk]

No - sorry.

[@sushil54]

Can you create a video and show us how to set up the iosd mini plug and play cable (available on your website) without the need for soldering and messing with other wires?

[@fpv-uk]

It is exactly the same as the video here, except you plug the cable into the iOSD Mini as well. Its not worth doing another video just showing me plugging a white connector into an iOSD Mini.

[@sushil54]

I bought the cable but the screws at the tip arms are stripped off and i am unable to open the damn thing without it? I have tried several ways but nothing seems to work...Any suggestions please?

[@WildernessMedic]

Ok how does this go to the gopro? I you hook it up to the board like you do does the gopro feed through the Zenmuse cable then down through yours? I bought a cable that plus into the gopro and then transmitter but I still don't have a way to tie it in to power the tx. Does yours work for both or do I need two cables?

[@fpv-uk]

Yes that's how it works. GoPro plugs into Zen Muse, Zen Muse plugs into board, board plugs into transmitter. Video and power is supplied to the transmitter through our cable to the transmitter.

[@An.Individual]

My H3-3D has a small cable that plugs into the USB on the GoPro, this takes the video out of the GoPro and into the H3-3D, I don't think he has connected that cable in this video.

[@fpv-uk]

Chainsaw Dude H3-2D (as shown in the video) connected to the port on the back of the GoPro rather than the side. Works just the same though.

[@jimmyjames8791]

where did you put the anti-inteference board for the zenmuse? I didn't see it beside your fpv antenna.. is there room for it there? with the antenna too?

[@highestvirtue1892]

Simon, so if I buy the 7 in FPV screen with Diversity, Immersion long range transmitter, circular polarized antenna set and Phantom 2 plug n play cable, is that a complete FPV package? Or do I need an ImmersionRC reciever? Or anything else I am missing?

[@fpv-uk]

Hi Andre. That's everything you need. Except a way to power the screen of course. We have a 4600mAh battery available specifically for that screen, or you can use any 3S battery with the right connections.

[@Lenny7118]

If I didn't want to use the fat shark goggles but instead use a monitor attached to my transmitter ( still using the dji iosd mini ) what would I need besides a monitor , lipo ? I would still use the fat shark video tx as shown in the video. I know dji has their Iosd mini downlink kit but I've read it's very difficult to wire up and I've also read that a lot of people are Burning up their systems because dji made the wiring incorrectly and because the setup is difficult. So to explain myself clearer , I'd like the dji setup with a fat shark / immersion setup components. ( no goggles ) thanks

[@fpv-uk]

I'd recommend this bundle which is specifically designed for your Phantom 2 and H3-2D and ImmersionRC VTx. It is optionally with or without the iOSD Mini. www.firstpersonview.co.uk/complete-fpv/5.8ghz/phantom-2-fpv

[@CinnTech0451]

I have a phantom 2s with a zenmuse H3-3D gimbal. If I get the fat shark predator v2, and re-instal your suggested cable instead of the original, will I see what my gopro sees through the predator goggles?

[@fpv-uk]

Yes.

[@fdnyfish]

this cable seems great, but how can I also add the DJI Mini IOSD to this setup?

[@fpv-uk]

That cable is coming very soon!

[@fpv-uk]

***** Thanks for the information. Could you send a photo of your cable please? I'd like to see if our's will be wired the same and if it might therefore have the same problem. We're all away skiing presently so can't test but we've got the factory making prototypes. Is there a forum thread somewhere regarding this? 

[@Airborn14]

Simon Dale Great video, but how soon just wondering?

[@Airborn14]

yeah i just saw it

[@Aubatron]

Simon Dale It would be amazing if you were to make another walk through video for the new cord with the iOSD Mini. Also, can you use that new cord with only FPV if you don't feel like using the iOSD Mini? Does the camera record the OSD, or is it only the FPV video transmission that see's it?

[@Canyon76]

Hi and thanks for this! I am wondering if this set up is possible using the little camera that comes with the FatShark such as the 600TVL while still using the GoPro? My desire is to have the 600TVL be my FPV and maybe mounted on the top so that I can get a real cockpit type view which in my opinion is better for FPV where I can actually see part of the Phantom 2 for reference. Possibly even using a Headtracking gimbal with the Headtracking version of the FatShark line. My idea would be to fly with the smaller 600TVL and then fram the shot and use the GoPro for the more professional shot. Obviously I would have to set the GoPro to either time interval or full record to do this but this is something I am interested so I wonder if it can be done? Also, is it possible to use the GoPro with the protective case while using it with the Zenmuse H3-2D? I mean if I were to crash I would want my Gopro to survive...

[@Thejrb11]

Hi, I ordered the cable today from U.S site, any idea how long till it ships? Also, do you think its a problem to mount the fatshark transmitter inside my phantom 2? I want to give it a cleaner look. Last question, you dont show a cable connecting to the Gopro camera am I missing something? Thanks for the great video.

[@philippegascon6787]

Which FatShark model do I need for the Phantom2 with Gimbaal mount and Hero3+ Silver

[@fpv-uk]

Hi Philippe. Any set of Fat Shark goggles will work with the Phantom 2.

[@smitty4699]

do you have a plug n play cable for phantom 2 with the use of a fvp AND iosd mini?

[@fpv-uk]

Yes - as with all the other comments here asking the same thing: www.firstpersonview.co.uk/cables/phantom-2-iosd-mini-transmitter Expected in stock in around 7 days - hopefully.

[@KevinTaddonio]

Simon Dale Frickin' sweet! Just placed order from US site. No soldering necessary. Plug n' play. BOOM! Can't wait to install!!!

[@AW-Services]

Hello Simon. Can you help me!! I have a dji phantom 2 ver2. How would I go about using fpv without the zenmuse h3-3d. My gimbal broke last year and I am looking to remove it and bin it. I have trawled through all the forums. Is it possible to run fpv My set up is as your video describes 1x iOSD mini mounted under belly1 immersion RC 600mw 1x dji fpv hub. Is there a GoPro USB lead that simply plugs into the existing fpv instead of the zenmuse h3-3d Kind regards Austin

[@ricardopr54]

Does the gimbal cable that comes with thePhantom 2 actually charge the gopro battery during the flight?

[@fpv-uk]

Yes.

[@ricardopr54]

Simon Dale Thank u very much for your response.

[@Carlovfx]

I always asked myself: are all these complex setups running off the Phantom battery? How many minutes of flight are you burning out adding FPV and/or OSD or similia?

[@fpv-uk]

The difference is negligible. Compared to 4 motors/ ESCs the current draw of a VTx is tiny.

[@ReadBrothersTV]

Does that power the transmitter as well?

[@fpv-uk]

Yes.

[@ryanleasure3670]

if i am not going to use a zenmuse and just want to use the stock sticky mounts for the go pro hero 3, would this work as well for it or what else would i need to do? i like the setup that you did that has no soldering required. if i buy a fatshark transmitter and thatplug and play cable...how would i have to set it up if im not going to be using a zenmuse? any help is appreciated!

[@MrBrendo23]

I have a stupid question. When connecting immersionrc to phantom, are you supposed to take the plastic wrapping that the immersion RC comes in? Or leave it on? You would think that the amount of heat that the immersionrc puts off would melt the plastic. Thanks!

[@fpv-uk]

Leave the insulation on. Otherwise you'll cause a short.

[@Lenny7118]

Scott is that the wire that Simon says to buy ?

[@reecegosden8481]

hi i have the phantom 2 2.4ghz edition and i use the zenmuse h3-3d gimbal with my go pro hero 3 in your video you dont have the anti interference board? and on your website you have the FPV for Phantom 2 with H3-2D/ H3-3D package but you dont say anything about the ImmersionRC 5.8GHz Antenna Set and i would love to get ground station on it as well if you could let me know what i need and how to do it that would be great i would love to be able to get it sorted asap so i could buy it tomorrow ready for the bank holiday thanks

[@highestvirtue1892]

Hi can someone tell me exactly all the hardware I would need to purchase to complete the install above into my Phantom 2? I would like to install the immersion RC with a screen display (not Fatshark). What screen display is compatible and where to buy? I prefer plug n play! Please let me know if there is any other hardware like screen reciever and anything else required and where to buy and how to install?

[@fpv-uk]

Here is a bundle with a screen for you: www.firstpersonview.co.uk/complete-fpv/5.8ghz/screen-bundle-phantom-plane Just select the "Phantom 2 Immersion RC Plug And Play Cable" option on the second question to make it fully plug and play with a Phantom 2.

[@pablouk2001]

Hi could you tell me if you do one of these cables for the boscam TS832 VTX? For some reason iam getting horizontal rolling lines on my screen when i hust solder straight to the phantom harness. Just trying to resolve and was thinking that one of these cables might do the trick?

[@fpv-uk]

We do not. You could swap the wires around yourself (the connectors are the same, the wires are just in a different order I believe) but that would be down to your own research and risk. Getting it wrong would damage your Phantom and/ or transmitter.

[@bobthomson3832]

Is there a way to fit your cable to the phantom 2 system and view on a tablet mounted on the transmitter

[@FirstpersonviewCoUk]

Bob Thomson Not easily. There is a product which is a 5.8 GHz receiver AND a WiFi access point. You use their special app and connect to the received signal that way. I have a sample incoming...it may be on our website before long (if it's any good!)

[@ryanleasure3670]

this is my game plan..please correct me if im wrong...im going to buy a fatshark transmitter,the plug and play cable,a dji wifi transmitter for the controller and a fpv screen to sit on the controller...what else would i need? i dont want to buy a zenmuse as im tight on money. Probably another stupid question..how does the fpv screen connect to the camera using the wifi extender? basically i want to do what you just did in the video, however im not going to use azenmuse i will use the basic go pro hero 3 mounts.

[@fpv-uk]

Hi Ryan I'm not sure what you mean when you say "dji wifi transmitter for the controller". If you mean the wifi range extender then that only relates to DJI Phantom Vision product (Vision, Vision + and FC40). That does not apply and is not relevant for Phantom 2s. "how does the fpv screen connect to the camera using the wifi extender?" It doesn't. The Wifi system is only for smartphones and tablets, not Phantom 2 with FPV systems. To do what you want to do you just need the plug and play GoPro3 cable here: www.firstpersonview.co.uk/cables/gopro-3-to-immersionrc-plug-play-live-out-cable That would then plug straight into the Fat Shark or ImmersionRC transmitter and carry the video from the GoPro to the transmitter. You could use the cable shown in this video just to power the transmitter if you wanted to, or use this cable and another little battery: www.firstpersonview.co.uk/cables/balancer-to-jst-bec-lead-power-cam-from-balancer-plug-3s if you preferred. All the best Simon

[@agrs1974]

Can this cable you provide just power the fatsharks? I want to use the video out cable to use my go pro as viewing and recording camera. Thanks

[@FirstpersonviewCoUk]

agrs1974 I could yes. Just use the connector with 2 pins and not the other one.

[@MrBrendo23]

I have a quick question. I have a phantom 2 with zenmuse h3-3d but I am not using anti interference board. I have had some issues with interference. Do I need anti interference board, this cable, immersionRC, monitor? Or can I use without anti interference board? Thanks!

[@fpv-uk]

It's worth using if you're seeing interference. In a lot of cases it's not required, but if you're seeing interference it's worth putting it into the system. We have them for sale on FirstPersonView.co.uk website.

[@highestvirtue1892]

To may options what exactly do I need? What is a DVR? I do not need an additional camera right? Can use the gopro for FPV?

[@fpv-uk]

Just choose "No thanks" on the questions you don't want. DVR is Digital Video Recorder.

[@kwine3939]

I have a non-fatshark transmitter And a pair of skyzone goggles. Would this cable still work for my set up?

[@fpv-uk]

As it says in the description "DO NOT USE WITH ANY OTHER BRAND OF TRANSMITTER. ONLY FAT SHARK OR IMMERSIONRC." If your transmitter has the same connectors then it would be possible to swap the wires around in the connector to match your transmitter - I can't advise on that because we don't sell those goggles and I've never used a set.

[@jimmyjames8791]

so with this set up, will you be viewing fpv through your fatshark googles coming from the gopro??

[@FirstpersonviewCoUk]

JIMMY JAMES Yes.

[@olimac2182]

Hi, can you transmit the video while you record with the hero 3, phantom v2 and h3-3d gimbal?, thanks

[@sambhavkumar7870]

hey can u tell me which part we should attach it like power distribution board or flight control board

[@FirstpersonviewCoUk]

There is only one board in the P2. The mainboard.

[@sambhavkumar7870]

What are u saying dude .?

[@FirstpersonviewCoUk]

+sambhav Kumar There is only one board in the P2.

[@sealbay]

Hi this might be a stupid question after all the comments that i have seen but does it work with the H3-3D. I am using the same Fatshark transmitter.

[@SocialTechTalk]

Stupid question... Do you need a specified monitor to view the FPV, or can I just use an iPad/iPhone

[@fpv-uk]

You need a 5.8 GHz receiver of some kind. Either Fat Shark goggles with the built in 5.8 GHz receiver or a screen like the Black Pearl with a built in 5.8 GHz receiver. You cannot use a smartphone or tablet. You could use a smartphone with the Phantom 2 Vision +.

[@bencastle11]

Is there a different process for the phantom 2 vision or vision plus?

[@fpv-uk]

Phantom 2 Vision and plus has a digital FPV system built in to it. This cable is for Phantom 2 only.

[@jodydceuro]

Hi Simon, just recently bought this kit for my phantom 2 from your website. I'm having problems getting a picture to come through from the Gopro to the monitor. Does it matter what cable you use from the transmitter to the Phantom 2? The cable i ordered was the - Plug and Play Cable: DJI Phantom 2 to iOSD Mini and FatShark/ ImmersionRC Transmitter but i've realised i should have opted for DJI Phantom 2 to ImmersionRC Plug and Play Cable. Would this be the reason why i'm not receiving a picture through to the monitor?

[@FirstpersonviewCoUk]

Jody Smith Yes. If you have the iOSD version and no iOSD then the yellow wire has a break in it at that connector.

[@FirstpersonviewCoUk]

We have the iOSD mini in stock here: www.firstpersonview.co.uk/dji-iosd-mini

[@kevinbrooks8331]

Hi Simon would this set work on the new DJI Phantom 2 Vision+? I would like to run the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ With the fatshark predator v2 setup.

[@FirstpersonviewCoUk]

Kevin Brooks I don't believe so Kevin.

[@brennanfifer2684]

I got it all setup and there isn't static on the goggles just a black screen, I'm using a znemuse hd-3d and a gopro hero 3 with the fatshark predator goggles and transmitter.

[@fpv-uk]

Hi Brennan. You have a break somewhere between your GoPro and your transmitter. Usually this is in the small ribbon cable that plugs into the side of the GoPro. Often its extremely small and very hard to spot. We have the ribbon cables for £2.40 on our website.

[@phantomflier4880]

Quick question. Is the IOSD Mini / IOSD Mark 2 need for this? Please answer thanks

[@fpv-uk]

We make two versions of this cable. The iOSD Mini version and the non-iOSD version. If you buy the iOSD Mini version the iOSD Mini is required. If you buy the other version the iOSD Mini is not required, nor can it be used.

[@phantomflier4880]

Simon Dale Is this the name of the cable you are talking about, the one that doesn't use the IOSD Mini? "Phantom 2 Immersion RC Plug And Play Cable" and will it work for the fatshark teleporter v3 and the GoPro Hero 4 Silver? (Sorry for all the questions)

[@fpv-uk]

PhantomFlier Yes - the product code is 3801211. It will work with those items, yes.

[@phantomflier4880]

Simon Dale Ok, Thanks!

[@daviddyer2264]

so by adding this fpv. how would I go about viewing? do I have to buy the goggles of can I get on my smart phone?

[@FirstpersonviewCoUk]

Smartphones don't have analogue video inputs unfortunately. You would need goggles or a screen like the Black Pearl.

[@daviddyer2264]

Thank you!

[@radeklukas]

Just gathering info before I buy some Phantom 2 configuration :). Am I right by saying that the video feed goes from GoPro through Zenmuse to the Phantom motherboard and then to the transmitter? Is there any reason for it to go through motherboard other than that Zenmuse "outputs" only one cable? :) Or is there some modification to the video inside Phantom? Plus related question :)... is there any way to transmit telemetry like Phantom Vision does? Thanks very much

[@fpv-uk]

Hi Lukas Yes you are right. Sending the signal through the mainboard makes sense because that is where the power comes from and the Zen Muse carries the signal through the Zen Muse - rather than having a wire straight out of the GoPro to the transmitter (which we also sell) which may affect the movement of the gimbal. For telemetry just add the iOSD Mini.

[@radeklukas]

Simon Dale Alright :) now it starts to make sense :) thank you

[@Airborn14]

How can I also add the DJI Mini IOSD to this setup?

[@fpv-uk]

Use the iOSD Mini version of the cable: www.firstpersonview.co.uk/cables/phantom-2-iosd-mini-transmitter

[@wiktorviktor3667]

Simon Dale Could you make a video on how to connect that to the Phantom, IOSD mini, and the transmitter? Would be very helpful!

[@MrBrendo23]

Also, will the anti-interference board work with my setup?

[@fpv-uk]

It connects between the Zen Muse and the Phantom 2.

[@mitchb77]

Sorry i f i am being a spacker but if this cable connects to the transmitter where do i plug the video out from the Gopro? Do i plug it into the gimbal?

[@fpv-uk]

+Mitch Maguny GoPro connects to the gimbal as normal yes.

[@mitchb77]

+Simon Dale (FirstPersonView) Thank you can't wait to test it.

[@cranealk]

Hello Simon, How you can transfer the video from go pro to the googles or display if there arent usb cable on the Gopro :S Thanks

[@fpv-uk]

The video signal goes through the Zen Muse, then through the Phantom 2, then through our cable, then through a transmitter, a receiver and into your display.

[@lordlosa]

And what do to if you want to had a iosd mini ? I saw on your website some cable but no one for iosdmini on phantom 2.

[@fpv-uk]

Coming very soon.

[@fpv-uk]

www.firstpersonview.co.uk/cables/phantom-2-iosd-mini-transmitter

[@lordlosa]

Thank you , I preordered the 1 january !!!! 1 phantom 2 iosd mini + 1 phantom 2 iosd mini fatshark camera

[@yfzmotox21]

Ok, I believe this video has answered my questions, but here it is. I am about to purchase the Phantom 2 with H3-3D gimble. Also I was wanting the Fatshark Attitude V2 set up. I was wanting to just mount the small camera that comes with the Attitude to the bottom of my gopro. Use that camera for FPV and the gopro for recording, but don't know if that will mess up the gimble. So if that dosent work, I guessing from this video, I can purchase that cable and use the gopro as the FPV and recording camera with that Attitude V2 setup?

[@fpv-uk]

Yes that's exactly right. You can't strap anything to the gimbal. You can use the Gopro for FPV with this cable.

[@yfzmotox21]

Simon Dale ok, so even the little added weight of the 600TVL FPV Tuned CMOS camera that comes with the Attitude V2 would cause the gimble not to work?

[@fpv-uk]

Chris Maddox correct. Even not putting the screws fully into the gimbal will cause it to malfunction.

[@augustovazquez2641]

Does using Mini IOSD make a difference? if so which? Thanks

[@fpv-uk]

If you want to use an iOSD Mini you need our iOSD Mini cable. If you don't want to use an iOSD Mini you need to choose our cable without iOSD Mini.

[@brennanfifer2684]

do you need the IOSD mini or mark II for this setup?

[@fpv-uk]

You don't need either with this cable (3801211). If you want to use an iOSD Mini you can purchase our other cable (product code 4201047) which allows that.

[@fpv-uk]

Hi Brennan. You asked the question about shipping from the UK. The product listing on our website says "From the USA? Please order from our US website" and includes a link to our US website. This video's description says "For US customers you can buy this from our USA website with shipping from LA here: www.firstpersonview.com/cables/dji-phantom-upgrade-board-to-fat-shark-immersionrc-transmitter-cable" Our US website ships from LA and the price is about $4 for tracked USPS. Ordering from the UK website when you live in the USA would be a strange thing to do. The whole reason we created the US website and warehouse was so that people on the USA can order these cables quickly and easily. Previously people were ordering them from the UK website to the USA using just Airmail (no tracking, no insurance) and some were getting lost in the post.

[@billalvarez6699]

i dont get it ..5.8 video system and 5.8 rc system ..they work side by side ?..no interference frrom each other ?

[@FirstpersonviewCoUk]

The radio control is 2.4 GHz on a Phamtom 2

[@billalvarez6699]

FirstPersonView.co.uk ooh i see ..iwa wondering cause mine phantom 2 vision is 5.8..there are few of you guys here that puts 5.8 fpv but not mentioning you are running 2.4 on rc system ..good thing i refrained doing it on mine ..

[@Aubatron]

What's the distance on that transmitter in miles or km, would that transmitter work with all FPV FatShark Goggles, and can you/what is a good upgrade antenna for that transmitter? Also, thanks for the info. This is the most helpful video that I've come across!

[@fpv-uk]

Yes everything we sell is compatible (Fat Shark and ImmersionRC are made in the same factory). CP antennas are a good upgrade. ImmersionRC SpiroNETs are good and easy.

[@Mtbaerialhome]

I hooked up my fatshark to my Phantom Vision 2 and lost signal between my controller and Phantom. FPV worked fine. I just about lost my Phantom in a fly away. I would really love to figure out what is happening. Any suggestions?

[@fpv-uk]

Yes - your Phantom 2 Vision uses 5.8 GHz for control. Your Fat Shark uses 5.8 GHz for the video. NEVER USE THEM TOGETHER! The Phantom 2 Vision, FC40 and Phantom 2 Vision + use 5.8 GHz only so that 2.4 GHz is left free for you to use 2.4 GHz FPV equipment (IE WiFi). The Phantom 1 and Phantom 2 (and virtually every other flying model on the planet) uses 2.4 GHz for control - and that's compatible with Fat Shark FPV gear.

[@Mtbaerialhome]

Simon Dale Great. Do you know anybody that wants to buy a fatshark. Only used once.

[@BorjaLlorensMerelo]

What can the DJI Mini IOSD do that your system can not?

[@fpv-uk]

Hi Borja. Your question doesn't make any sense. We have a cable with or without iOSD Mini. We sell iOSD Minis.

[@livingonmytime1076]

Hey Simon how are ya lad? Are there any FPV goggles that are compatible to bind or somehow use them on my P2V+ ?

[@FirstpersonviewCoUk]

Kevin Schwy You could plug Cinemizers into your iPhone/ Android phone if it has HDMI out. Or you could use the new Zeiss goggles into which you insert your phone.

[@TylerAustin85]

Do you have the link to the US site for this plug and play cable?

[@fpv-uk]

Hi Tyler. Its identical to the UK link but with .com instead of .co.uk Here's the normal version: www.firstpersonview.com/cables/dji-phantom-upgrade-board-to-fat-shark-immersionrc-transmitter-cable Here is the iOSD Mini version: www.firstpersonview.com/cables/phantom-2-iosd-mini-transmitter

[@Bolagnaise]

Simon Dale Will you ship to Australia? Will you have a package on your website with this cable and a fatshark/immersion option. I'd be very interested in that. Very informative. Thanks!

[@fpv-uk]

Yes indeed. We ship worldwide.

[@fpv-uk]

Should be back in stock on Monday (today). iOSD version 4-6 weeks.

[@jessienaputi7625]

Does that also include your U.S. site as well?

[@fpv-uk]

Jessie Naputi US site will have stock this week of both. There are about 7 of the iOSD Mini version and about 10 of the non-iOSD version after pre-orders.

[@jessienaputi7625]

Simon, thanks for your reply. Looking forward to ordering a set of these cables.

[@CandidoClementeVideoC3]

Hi, how I get the cable to connect fat shark to Phantom 2?

[@fpv-uk]

From our website: www.firstpersonview.co.uk/cables/dji-phantom-upgrade-board-to-fat-shark-immersionrc-transmitter-cable

[@AleAcampora]

Can i use it for Boscam FPV 5.8GHz 200mW Video Audio AV Trasmettitore & Ricevitore/TS351 & RC80 ?

[@FirstpersonviewCoUk]

Ale Acampora No. This is why we say "DO NOT USE WITH ANY OTHER BRAND OF TRANSMITTER. ONLY FAT SHARK OR IMMERSIONRC." in the description above :-) You could swap the wires around if you knew what you were doing of course.

[@AleAcampora]

FirstPersonView.co.uk Do you have a solution for boscam transmitter? P.s. I didn't notice it in the description!

[@garyrushing4538]

Do you have set for this on vision?

[@fpv-uk]

Sorry No. Its not possible on the Vision.

[@zero80473]

could you do a guide like this (with this content) and the DJI IOSD mini install as well (plug and play cables ?) thanks

[@FirstpersonviewCoUk]

zero80473 It is literally identical plus you plug one connector into the iOSD Mini.

[@goodguy1624]

Can you use the iosd mini with this set y Up

[@fpv-uk]

Yes, simply buy the iOSD Mini version of the cable. Product code 4201047.

[@snowbikemike420]

Where can I get that cable in the United States?

[@fpv-uk]

On FirstPersonView.com very soon - shipping from LA.

[@snowbikemike420]

Simon Dale What would it take to get one from the UK to Las Vegas, NV?

[@fpv-uk]

Mike Love just order it on our website. About 75 people in the USA have done already.

[@snowbikemike420]

I noticed the picture of the cable on your website only has 3 wires and the one in the video has 4. Did you dispose of the video ground?

[@fpv-uk]

We did. Its not necessary. My prototype was adapted from another cable - hence the extra black.

[@joneswynn]

Does this work with the DJI Phantom Vision 2 + ?

[@fpv-uk]

The Phantom 2 Vision has a digital FPV built into it. I wouldn't expect an analogue feed to also be present - but it might be. That's not something I've tried.

[@joneswynn]

Simon Dale Thank you. I think it might work with a video output into HDMI from the iphone. hmmm

[@lndsymacleod]

Will the cable work with a Foxtech 5.8 tx?

[@fpv-uk]

If you swap the Red and Black wires around in their housings. 2 minute job.

[@ricardopr54]

Is the a way to find this cable here in the United States?

[@fpv-uk]

Yes! Buy it from our US website: www.firstpersonview.com

[@ricardopr54]

Simon Dale can you guys post some of this cables on eBay for us to buy with more confidence. Through them you can pay using PayPal. I don't know my friend, there's a lot of identity theft in this planet and one us always afraid of buying online without the security of having your personal information protected. Can you accept PayPal, or can you start accepting it? Thanks for your response.

[@fpv-uk]

We have accepted paypal for 5 years. Yes!

[@ricardopr54]

Thank you very much for the information. I will definitely going I buy one or two of your cables. Have a great day.

[@fpv-uk]

***** The Phantom 2 Vision + already has a digital FPV system included. I've never tried it but I very much doubt there is an analogue feed coming through the normal Zen Muse connector.

[@ovidiu90]

you can't record while you use FPV right?

[@fpv-uk]

Not true - you can record whilst FPVing, no problems :-)

[@sharonotm]

Hi I think it will be great if you can make easy dji phantom 2 video cable : From the main board to iosd mini and to immersion rc vtx + power.

[@fpv-uk]

Coming very soon!

[@tjtieu]

Is this the Product Code: 3901111 for the cable on the web site?

[@fpv-uk]

3801211 www.firstpersonview.co.uk/cables/dji-phantom-upgrade-board-to-fat-shark-immersionrc-transmitter-cable

[@tjtieu]

Simon Dale Thanks, just placed an order in. When will the item be in stock and how long would it take to ship to Canada.

[@dennycheung3584]

Head tracking work ?

[@fpv-uk]

This is a video cable. It has nothing to do with radio control or head tracking or anything like that. Those things work completely separately to the video signal.

[@fpv-uk]

***** - BosCam and Skyzone wire their connectors backwards. So if you connected our cable as is, you would cause a short circuit and damage your equipment. You can swap the pins around in the connector to match your BosCam easily enough though.

[@kuramakyuubi8483]

hey please reply and thanks - i bought this fpv system here---www.ebay.com/itm/181598769779?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT is it the same to install? how about if i wanted to use the actual camera that came with it ? is that possible ? i would also like to fpv and record at the same time ..

[@fpv-uk]

kurama kyuubi The large picture on that eBay listing is of a Black Pearl monitor. The other pictures are of a lesser screen. I'd send it back and say it violates ebay rules and is not as described. I have no idea about that mis-matched FPV kit I'm afraid. The wiring on that lot is anyone's guess!

[@kuramakyuubi8483]

Simon Dale alright, do you know where i can get a sub 250 fpv kit with a monitor , not goggles ? with at least 1000m range of fpv?

[@fpv-uk]

kurama kyuubi From my website here: www.firstpersonview.co.uk/complete-fpv/5.8ghz/phantom-2-fpv Cheers!

[@mumforddale1]

the hole on the bottom of my phantom 2 is bigger than that one.and i only have 4 holes at the bottom.

[@fpv-uk]

Yes yours is the newer design to accommodate the h3-3d. That's good. That won't affect anything with regards this cable :-)

[@mumforddale1]

What about the vibration mount ? Which one should I get?

[@fpv-uk]

The zen muse has anti vibration mounts built into it. This cable will only work with the Zen Muse gimbal. 

[@mumforddale1]

I'm not going to put the zenmuse on right now just the vibration mount and gopro mount.

[@fpv-uk]

Then this cable is not for you. I wonder why you're commenting on this video in that case? Hehe :-)

[@brennanfifer2684]

That was it! thanks for the help, I've got a friend who's getting into phantoms and such, and I'm going to let him know about this sweet cable. It's so easy.

[@brinh123]

Great video. Thanks for the great service too, my Phantom2 arrived on Monday and is awesome. I've added links to the FPV kit to my Amazon wish list now, need to start saving.

[@fpv-uk]

Amazon? Get it from our website here: www.firstpersonview.co.uk/complete-fpv/5.8ghz/phantom-2-fpv This is a complete ready to go FPV bundle for the Phantom 2 with our special plug and play cables and everything you need.

[@brinh123]

I have :) I use the amazon "add any item to wishlist" so the link is to yours. Sorry that wasn't clear. You might get confused phone calls from my family near my birthday saying "He's got a ghost 2" or similar!

[@azrinhassan14]

Hi Dale…thanks for sharing. Btw I'm interested on purchasing the plug and play cable for Fatshark Predator V2. I have found another plug and play cable for iosd on www,FirstPersonView.co.uk. I intended to use it with iosd, would that cable be sufficient?

[@fpv-uk]

Yes

[@mumforddale1]

whats your flight times?

[@fpv-uk]

12 hours to Hong Kong 8 hours to New York

[@DusanPavlicek78]

Great video! One thing I still don't understand is whether your "FPV Bundle with Screen" ( www.firstpersonview.co.uk/complete-fpv/5.8ghz/fpv-bundle-with-screen ) is also compatible with Phantom 2 or whether I absolutely need to get the particular cable featured in this video if I want a plug-and-play setup. Thanks!

[@fpv-uk]

You need this bundle for Phantom 2: www.firstpersonview.co.uk/complete-fpv/5.8ghz/phantom-2-fpv

[@DusanPavlicek78]

Simon Dale Perfect! Thank you!

[@targetbuildinginspections9269]

You guys sent me the wrong cable, twice! Thats a long distance across the pond, mayhaps adjusting your inventory is needed, someone is throwing them in the wrong parcel bin?

[@fpv-uk]

Hi Target Building Inspections. We've sent out several hundred of these and nobody else has reported getting the wrong one. Which one did you order and what did you receive please? I'll look into this immediately.

[@fpv-uk]

Also, I can't find any order from Target Building Inspections - please let me have your order number or name so that I can find your order. Emailing [e-mail] would be best.

[@targetbuildinginspections9269]

Simon Dale Ordered 4201047 but received one without the iosd plug. and only 3 wires... Order ID: 14844 Date Added: 25/01/2014

[@fpv-uk]

When you say that we got it wrong twice, where is the second part from? Is that a re-send after you complained or did you have a second order which was also wrong?

[@targetbuildinginspections9269]

Simon Dale No re-send, 2 separate, cheaper to just re-order then send back, both cables only have 3 wires and are missing the iosd plug...

[@ManofWater]

thank you this will be great help to me in a couple weeks

[@Victormiranda22]

I followed instructions exactly step by step and I believe I fried my video transmitter. I should have tested with multimeter first to ensure I was getting the right voltage. 8( Boscam TS832, it smells burnt. Really doubt it is possible to fix. Or is it? The only difference is that I did not use gimbal (wanted to test fpv first, started motors, and don't really understand what happened. Good thing I didn't plug my camera yet, Oh well, I thought mentioning this would probably help someone, always make sure you test voltage before you solder I guess 8(

[@fpv-uk]

The title of this video is "DJI Phantom 2 FPV - How to install a Fat Shark or ImmersionRC FPV system on a Phantom 2". Please notice the "Fat Shark or ImmersionRC" part. The description of the product on our website is "Cable to connect your Phantom 2 (or Phantom 1 with Upgrade Board (P330CB-H3-2D)) to your Fat Shark/ ImmersionRC transmitter". Please notice the Fat Shark/ ImmersionRC part. And the text at the bottom of the product description on our website says: DO NOT USE WITH ANY OTHER BRAND OF TRANSMITTER. ONLY FAT SHARK OR IMMERSIONRC. Boscam transmitters are copies of ImmersionRC/ Fat Shark transmitters but they have the red and black reversed. If you use our cable on those transmitters you will cause big problems.

[@Victormiranda22]

Thank you for the video, and you are absolutely right. Hope my comment wasn't taken the wrong way. My intention was to present my mistake so that if someone else sees this avoids making the same mistake. After unplugging and plugging the right cables it did work. I must have stopped it before it completely fried my transmitter. Bought a brand new phantom 2, and it also kept falling to the side, because two cables from the one motor was soldered the wrong way. So I may add to test everything before, and after, each big step, which is what probably saved my transmitter. Your video helped me understand how to do (keeping its sleek look) and also what and what not to do. I didn't read everything. Like most men I did not read the instructions all the way (according to show Brain Games, is in our nature, and 98% of us do not read all the instructions in order to finish sooner and seem more effective). I came a long way since, I just finished building my 3drobotics quad, fully autonomous, calibrated and adjusted everything myself. I gotta say, I enjoy more my 3DR quad than my phantom because of the PIXLHAWK features. I do also have the DJI datalink kit, but prefer PIXLHAWK, too bad it is not compatible with iOS 8( I DO APPRETIATE YOUR HELP. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND DO APOLOGIZE IF MY COMMENT OFFENDED YOU IN ANY WAY.

[@joeyzoolander]

cable worked perfect, thank you so much..

[@host47]

why are you so thorough in the first part of your video, but skip over the installation of the gimbal and wiring?

[@fpv-uk]

Because this is a video about the cable we make and sell. The cable is unique and this is the only place fitting it is covered. Fitting the gimbal, on the other hand, is widely documented and there are hundreds of videos and guides on how to do that. Have a wonderful day.

[@pivit]

Hi there. Just wanting to confirm that the immersion RC iosd mini cable you sell : www.firstpersonview.co.uk/cables/phantom-2-iosd-mini-transmitter works with immersion RC 600mw as the video only shows the 250mw. Im sure it does but just want to confirm. I also want to purchase a immersion RC 600mw 5.8 with this and ship together. thanks. Dave.

[@fpv-uk]

Yes it does. Thanks.

[@MaximilianImaging]

HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY AFTERS DAYS OF RESEARCHING, A VIDEO THAT EXPLAINS HOW TO INSTALL A FATSHARK FPV SYSTEM ONTO THE PHANTOM 2/GOPRO HERO ZENMUSE. Why can't DJI and GoPro just get a fucking long and create a user friendly system? Whatever the case THANK YOU so much for this video!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@yann030592]

Hello ! I have just one question ... I did exactly like in the video but when i have started the drone, the plug caught fire ... Now i have a little hole in the card and the plug is a little burnt :/ Have you an idea of the cause of this problem ? Thank you For information, i have the dji phantom 2, nacelle zenmuse H3-2D, go pro hero3+ and my transmitter is this one (www.studiosport.fr/emetteur-58ghz-200mw-32-canaux-p-661.html) This is the result: dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/106742580/20140130_211758.jpg (Sorry for my english, i'm french ^^)

[@fpv-uk]

This cable is for ImmersionRC and Fat Shark transmitters. NOT any other brand. Your transmitter is probably like the Foxtech and Boscam transmitters where the Red and Black are the wrong way around. DO NOT USE THIS CABLE FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN IMMERSIONRC AND FAT SHARK, AS IT IS INTENDED.

[@fpv-uk]

Simon Dale Even on StuidoSport.fr it says the following warning: Note importante: Cet émetteur utilise le même type de connecteur que les émetteurs de marque ImmersionRC / Fatshark, or les polarités d'alimentation sont inversées. Il est donc conseillé de bien vérifier la connectique utilisée avant branchement de l'alimentation.

[@yann030592]

Simon Dale My transmitter is compatible ImmersionRC, Fatshark and Boscam ... I have the black cable on the left and the red on the right

[@yann030592]

thank you for answering me so quickly :)

[@24pfilms]

Great job guys!

[@TheNawlinsboy2007]

Also want to share with everyone who is looking for that plug and play cable, you can go to www.firstpersonview.com to order also. Thanks for the video, it's lots of help.
