Ok, I'm a video guy, not an RC guy, but I think I'm on the right track regarding what I want to do. I have a Phantom 2 (non-vision) with the H3-2D and a GoPro. I want to equip it so I can fly via waypoints programmed ahead of time. . But before I start actually buying I want to make sure I am correct on some things.
1.) As far as what I need to purchase, I just need the DJI 2.4G Bluetooth Datalink? It will have all the cables and plugs I need to connect to my Phantom 2 and my TX to work. And it is compatible with the NAZA M 2 that the Phantom 2 comes with? Is there anything else I will need?
2.) I know as an option, many people flying FPV get the Spironet Antenna's. Do those work for Bluetooth and should I consider getting those?
3.) Is the IOSD a component that will place flight information on my video? Is that correct? I don't have one of those, and for now if that is what it does I'm not planning to add that. However, if I do add it later, at that time I would need to get a Can-Bus hub as my Datalink will use the one on the leg and that is the only one that comes with the Phantom 2?
4.) I've already downloaded the Phantom RC Assistant Software, but I should plug in my Phantom and make sure I have the latest firmware.
5.) I'll need to plug in my transmitter, make sure it has the latest firmware, and calibrate the joysticks, X1 & X2 switch, and the gimble control on the back of the transmitter.
6.) Download the Ground Station App to my IPad. (Can the unit also be controlled from an IPhone 4?)
Sorry if some of these are newbie questions, I just want to make sure I'm not missing something. Any replies can just reference my question or comment number. Thanks! Love this forum!
