Since the TX does not have any flat case or surface is velcro on the heat dissipation the proper way to mount this under the Phantom?

It doesn't really get that hot. I put a small square of adhesive Velcro on the plastic shrink tube over the heatsink. Never had an overheat especially if it is open to the air.

thank you for all your replies..surely everyone also has mixed views about where the hot side is..i think im better off opening one and post my finding here..the problem with my needs is im going to use this on my rc plane transmitter.dont want the wrong side pointing outward cause my plane has no return to launch feature..i just rely on my telemetry beeps when going out of range.

The only hardware needed to mount them is the hardware thats already on your phantom, namely the bolts you already have.

I don't use the provided mount. I have placed Velcro on the dash and unit - it is much more secure, has a lower profile from potential police and/or theft. Having it mounted this way it does not get into one's visual field and it works as it should.

i would suggest avoiding adhesive tapes or putting plastic directly against heated cable, maybe twist some metal wires on to help hold, you probably don't want to risk a fire. proper insulation wrap to cover it over is a good idea

Do NOT tightly enclose this adapter in anything that can act like a thermal insulator (e.g. a stuffed elephant). It needs some free air around it to keep from overheating and burning out or burning up. Sitting free above a cabinet is fine.

you can mount it anywhere, but it requires a cable and power source so the quad copter can NOT fly with it

Did you ever install this CPU cooler in your Phantom and if so, did it fit with the two 200mm exhaust fans on top for a push/pull config or did you have to take those out to make room? It looks like doing some measurements with the big fans on top installed and using the radiator brackets, it would come down too low and interfere with parts of the mobo and the RAM.

The back is hollow and they supply you with the necessary mounting hardware. I don't think I would trust velcro for this application.

None that I am aware of. You could could use double sided tape if you need to mount temp.

It fits under the Phantom and holds the GoPro. It is probably 2.5 inches square and a half inch thick

I would think that it needs to be firmly attached to the object to be heated, otherwise the heat transfer won't occurand it could overheat.

Mine is installed in a Thermaltake level 10 GT with no problem, I have a mounted on the top of the Case with room to spare

You just connect the wires and tuck the module where it will fit. No need to stick it on the glass.

I have the Phantom 2 and installed it underneath. The hub is fastened on top of the iosd mini and the FPV transmitter is installed next to the iosd mini. Works great! Just be sure to use good foam double-sided tape. We lost a FPV transmitter because it and the antenna fell off and broke the cable to the hub.

Its not very hot. I mounted mine directly under a cheap ikea table with no issues at one point.
