Daninho said:Can anybody tell me if i need to plug in the X3 three wired cable that comes out of the PMU V2? I have the Mini iOSD and the PMU V2 and i read several different opinions about the installation, some say it isnt necessary to plug X3 in and some say it is, so im a bit confused. I dont have a BTU or Zenmuse Gimbal
actually i dont know, it was just mentioned in a tutorial. I think i will plug it in as well and leave the "old" X3 cable unused.What is supposed to be the downside of connecting it? In other words, why would you NOT want to connect it?

What is giving my some problems is to solder the PMU V2 to the main board at the same point where the battery cable connects. Those soldering point seem to be resistant to my soldering iron. It is not melting down.
Anybody having experience on that, does it have something to do with the power of my soldering iron ,I have one that is 30 W.
Shall I get one with better power?
Something that perhaps should help as well is to change the tip of the soldering iron.
Any advise?
Just put a little solder on top of the DJI solder points and let it cool. Put some flux on your PMU wire and re-melt your solder. This should secure the PMU wires and you should get a power connection. I actually used an XT60 power plug for my PMU but if I had to do it over again I would have just done a JST connection and soldered that to the DJI power leads.

OK, so i guess it is save to solder a new soldering point on an esisiting one, im a beginner when it comes to soldering. I also thought about an XT60 Harness and solder one end to the PMU, the other one for the Lipo because soldering two cable ends sounds easy.
Now to the X3 cable problem, ive heard the X3 cable is only for powering up the Naza Controller! So it doesnt matter what X3 cable you plug in, the old or the new. Does that make sense?
Dave Pitman said:I did not have that issue. Did you have a clean picture before adding the iOSD?
Turbiner said:Yes the picture was perfect and still is apart from these foggy white lines behind the iOSD text. I am using Fatshark attitude goggles with a Gopro Hero 3. Haven't flown it with the iOSD yet but I dont think it will be to much of a problem. Only thing I haven't tried is changing the camera setting from pal to ntsc.

The OSD text was uniform and pretty clear in my FS Dominators.
