Has anyone installed this on a Original DJI Phantom? If so, does it work well and how do you connect it to the phantom for power and control?

I took the leap and purchased it with fingers crossed. Luckily, you won't have to stress while you wait for it to arrive. I used it on my AR Drone 1.0 this past weekend. It connects to the old style charger and apparently has contacts for the new one it looks like. It works great and fits inside the drone's cavity even though it is a little thicker. Happy flying!

Nope, please go to DJI phantoms web site for questions and answers. http://www.dji.com/product/phantom/faq

Yes. DJI has re-engineered the battery contacts so they will likely never disconnect in-flight. The latest Phantom 2 Vision's have this fix as well as the Vision +. Not sure about the other Phantom models.

No idea bro...if it has the same connector on the battery as the DJI phantom it will work..(XT60 connector, that's the little white connector on the battery). I do know that it helps a lot during day and nite. It is very bright and helps with tracking forward direction when flying. If you get too far away just stop, rotate the bird and you will see the light and immediately know your forward direction to get it heading back towards you.

This gimbal connects to the two stock holes that the FC40 camera screws to. You need to open the Phantom and find the grey and red wires that are free and in one arm of the phantom just sitting there. You connect the pig-tail they sent you to these wires and fish them thru a leg hole. This is your power for the gimbal. I soldered mine, but suppose you can twist and shrink wrap them. If you won't care about using the Phantom remote to control the pitch of the camera, that is all you need and the GoPro 3 camera. If you want to connect it to the pitch lever on the back of the remote, you need to open the phantom, connect one of the many wires they provide and fish it thru another leg and connect one end to the F1 port on the NAZA module. It will be the bottom of the three pins in F1. Then when looking at the gimbal where there are 4 rows of 3 pins, the top left pin is where you connect the other end. Then in the Naza software, you enable the Gimbal, set the travel limits you want, and install the 12$ pitch level on the back (available on Amazon). There are plenty of youtube vids on this.

I believe it is a type 2 and won't work with an eralier version of the DJI. I ordered it and it wouldn't work. I went to a DJL store and they sold me the correct one. I never got my money back from returning the item.

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

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.

I use the battery that powers my Phantom 2. If you have the phantom 2 with the gimble there are battery leads that are all ready there that can run your lights. The lights use very little power

This made specifically to plug into the balance charger, the white connector, on the DJI Phantom. I did not particularily care for tha, so I opened the Phantom. Inside there are a couple of power leads that have no connectors on them. They are long enough to pull out through the holes in the bottom of the Phantom. I soldered JST connectors on it and plug it into the light. I also got a small, light 3 Cell Lipo battery that you can velcro to the bottom of the Phantom. Hope that helps.

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...

Hi, work with no problem. The phantom 2 has canbus connector outside for that extensión.

I installed mine and added a small on/off switch by using my soldering iron to carefully make a hole for mounting the switch and connected it to the battery's 11.2 v. I also put one on my QX350 only I discovered not to connect the + and - to just any where. Its best to connect to the place where the battery FIRST goes into the mother board. They come with a connector on them, I couldn't find where to plug it in (dou) soz I cit the wire and soldered directly onto the printed circuit board. It sure is bright at night. The phantom 1 has a smaller battery , ssame voltage. Difference between 1 or 2 (phantom) 2700mAh and 5200mAh if you use a separate power source I like an add on battery less voltage, amps will just decrease the brightness. That's about all I know, why do you ask? You should always include why your asking if you want an intelligent answer so the answers you get are not of a general origin and specific, exact is what you seek.

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.

Your transmitter needs a trainer port in order to the connect the RF7 adapter. My guess is the phantom 2 transmitter doesn't have one. I did some quick searching and couldn't find any indication that it does.

Yes. You have to make sure you pair it with the phantom. There are instructions on the DJI website on how to do this.
