Ok my phantom arrived but I'm not exactly what I'm doing here. I sort of expected more instructions but didn't really see any? I have a few questions, can someone please give me a hand?

1) Am I suppose to cut this cord?

2) it looks like some of the absorber is disconnected, should I attach it back? if so how?

3) what is the first step I should take? Do I actually have to do the advanced calibration? Or skip straight to the compass?

Thanks!!!
 
Where did you get yours? was it new or used? The Logo and zip tie arent standard on a phantom.

I have no idea what that cord or zip tie is there for its not on a standard phantom and wasnt on mine when shipped, maybe it was used to keep the gimbal still or something. With your gimbal you will just need to push the absorber back through again as it shouldnt be loose.

Watch the videos and also read the manual there, I guess they dont print the manual as it changes a bit each revision and they are slowly improving on the Chinglish translations :lol:

It's new, but it's a package with things installed from dslrpros.com

Ok I'll read the manuals there and see if that helps me get started. thank you!

I think you need to leave the black strap on. I'm pretty sure they added it for protection.

What is that for, looking at the DSLR pros site all the photo's of their modded phantoms dont show the strap on it.

maybe I'm not seeing it right but it looks like they are leashing the gimbal to the phantom. I'd call them and just give them an ask. They will know why they did it.
 
What Lipos are those in the photo. It looks like they are labeled 3300....is that right.???

In the photo they're 2250, but we ship out with 2400mAH batteries now.

With those batteries In the youtube video it says charge at 4V, but you mentioned we can charge at 6V? Can you confirm?
