phantom 2 / H3-2D FPV with hero3+
We just ordered a DJI-AVL58 transmitter & receiver kit for FPV with a gopro hero3+ in a Phantom 2 / zenmuse H3-2D combo. Is there something special (adapter) required to connect the hero 3+ to the transmitter ? ... any advice would be greatly appreciated before kit arrives......
Regards

I believe you need a cable like this: Airy GoPro HERO 3 Video Cable - HeliPal
There are other places to buy them, of course... |

Re: phantom 2 / H3-2D FPV with hero3+
My understanding is the GoPro transmits video via the H3-2D gimbal, and the Phantom already has a video cable that just needs to be wired up to a transmitter.
Personally I have mine setup with the cable linked above, which connects directly to a 5.8GHz transmitter. So you've got a couple of different options. |

Just curious, how well does the FPV work? Bright Sun? Interference? Loss of signal? Are any of these issues to be concerned about.

Re: phantom 2 / H3-2D FPV with hero3+
All of those issues are factors. It really depends on the quality of the equipment. If you buy a decent transmitter, quality antennas and receivers, you should easily get 500-1000 metres of distance without significant signal loss.
