DJI Phantom 2 with AVL58

[renteriafilms]

Hey guys, I just upgraded to the Phantom 2. I've decided that I also want to go fpv with it. I want a simple, moderately priced fpv system. I've been doing some research and decided that I want to purchase the AVL58.

In the product description, it says that the tx powers directly from the Phantom. My question is, does it connect directly somewhere in the phantom unit, or do I have to cut wires and do soldering to make it work. If so, then how?

On another note, I'm also looking at some monitors to hook up to the rx. Like I said, I'm looking for something simple, and not so expensive--so goggles and a nice HD monitor are out of the picture. I was browsing around on Amazon, and found this monitor:

Will this monitor work? I feel like it would since it has the yellow RCA jack and also a 12V power connector. I do not care about its small size, all I need is something so I can frame my shots correctly.

Thanks guys in advance, I really will appreciate all your help!

There is lots of information about wiring in an AVL58 on the forum. Try:

You'll have to solder a couple of wires, nothing more than that. All the wiring diagrams are in the P2 manual too.

That screen should work with the receiver if all you want is a 'framing' monitor

I thought the new "Hub" from DJI did away with soldering anything?

Wanted to bump this to see if I was correct about the hub

Yes you are correct about the hub no soldering is involved just plug everything into the hub.
