Wanting some better and larger telemetry I've now got a iOSD Mini running on my vision+.
I had to install an CAN module (part #2) so I had a compatible socket for the iOSD Mini.
To keep it neat and tidy the CAN module is mounted on the inside rear of the battery bay opposite the battery terminals and the iOSD Mini is mounted as the far end of the battery bay next to the USB port.
So based on this thread http://www.phantompilots.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=29161&start=20 I've cut the video feed on the ribbon cable cable running to the wi-fi TX and soldered in dupont connectors so I can remove the iOSD mini if needed and rejoin the ribbon cable without having to resolder.
I then soldered dupont connectors on the video in/out lead supplied with the iOSD making everything totally modular.
Now I've go the best of both worlds as I have the data from the app plus the iOSD data on screen.
I've not finished yet as I have an extremely small vision splitter which will fit in the battery bay between the battery connector and the existing wi-fi antenna.
This vision splitter will feed the video to both the current wi-fi TX and a 2.4Ghz FPV TX I have on order which should give me high quality lag free preview on a 7" screen.
Heres the pics to show where I'm at to this point...
* Note some data on the left is obscured by the radar and camera tilt control is only an issue on IOS. I normally use the Android app which doesn't have this problem at all.
