So, am I to assume that everone here who's installed the Naza M Firmware 4.00 has the Naza M-V2 (orange) installed as well? Or, does it also work with the V1 (red) ... which, again, I assume, is what's in the Phantom unless an owner has swapped it out for the V2. That video on the DJI site...

Well, that's easy ... thought anyone could see that ... but, I guess there's at least one who doesn't: We still have the one we bought and I, for one, want to get value for the money that spent. This forum might help. That answer your question satisfactorily? (I thought that perhaps you had...

Don't ya just love a good 'flame war' ? :D Just as well to give it up though, guys ... no one is gonna' win it ... it's just too easy for the other guy to keep coming back with another post ... unlike a real war ... or a good fistfight. :? I understand the need to win ... or at least to be...

Well, like you say, you got some great looking stuff with it before it quit on you! Wonder if you'll get a Version 2 for a replacement. ;)

So, you used the gimbal two months before it failed? How many fights, would you say?

I sent this e-mail to DJI on August 25th, 2013: Hi, I purchased the Zenmuse H3-2D gimbal for the Phantom back in July. I haven’t installed it yet ... first I was waiting on the PMU V2 and then before that was in stock DJI introduced the upgrade board and my dealer suggested I wait for that...

Well, ladies and gentlemen, hope you're ready for this!!! This is an e-mail that I received from DJI in response to the one that I sent concerning whether or not to replace my Zenmuse H3-2D Version 1 gimbal with Version 2 (see the letter I sent in an above post): Dear *******, I am sorry but...

Thanks for both your inputs! Really appreciate it. To me, it seems as if DJI wouldn't be introducing a Version 2 so soon after Version 1 if it didn't have something to do with the trouble users have been having with it. Seems like that would have happened years down the road ... if at all ...

After seeing this post and checking out the ad, I contacted Bradatech, my dealer here in Canada. [By the way, as an aside, if you live in Canada or elsewhere for that matter, you can't go wrong purchasing from this company. They are excellent to deal with: helpful ... prompt ... prompt in...

Well, you must be looking at an entirely different gimbal installation video than I am. On the video, the gimbal is plugged into the GCU ... a unit that is not even used now. So, different, right. Not . Also, if it's that simple ... plug and play ... why not show it on the board installation...

@mcbander Do you mean the salesguy where you bought your Phantom or did you actually talk to someone from DJI?! I haven't installed 3.16 yet ... still don't have my upgrade board ... have had the Zenmuse for over a month now ... so I've been reading your posts with interest. Thanks for taking...

Beautiful church ... and beautiful work on your part!

Well, Frank, I haven't actually done any soldeing yet, but I have the new upgrade board on the way, so It's only a matter of days before I will be. From what I can see of DJI's video, there sems to be enough solder on the board now. It looks like they just melt it and stick the wire in. However...

There is an installation video ... done by a verbally challenged DJI employee ... for the Zenmuse H3-2D gimbal: http://www.dji.com/tutorial/zenmuse-h3- ... tutorials/ There is also an installation video ... again, done by, I'd guess, the same verbally challenged DJI employee ... for the new...

Perhaps sag wouldn't matter, if you used a rigid, rod-like attachment (wooden dowel?)... or perhaps two ... to attach the bottom of the Phantom's legs to the tube you mentioned. Then, instead of flying beneath the wire or rope, you could fly to the side. Have the set-up on the edge of a...
