Just added an mini osd to my P2 and had my first flight yesterday. Searched for an hour for a good explanation of the display's meaning and yours is by far the best. Thank you
Just want you to know that you really helped me a lot in developing my quad from a simple RTF to a RTF/FPV with IOSD system. Hope you'll continue to seek the needs of rc quad enthusiast for them to fully enjoy this hobby as much as I do.
I just ordered an iOSD mini and only after wondered how I would connect it to my GoPro & Fat Shark tx. I was about to post the question on a forum but decided to search first. As usual, That HPI Guy has just the video I need. Thanks Richard!
yeah I said that wrong didn't I , its more of an attitude gauge for the quad. it shows what the quad is doing and not a horizon. I have not plugged it into the assistant yet but you might be able to change it like you said.
Thanks! This really helped me understand the iOSD Mini features. It wasn't clear with the DJI website and such. What I really needed to know is if it has home position, altitude, and amp. Now I know it has everything I need except the amps.
I am glad I subbed your channel. This is the most in depth explanation of the IOSD I have seen. Great help for us new pilots. :) Well done sir! Thank you.
Hi Don, Yes, and the small world, I was chatting to Richard (the poor bugger putting up with me lol ;) and found this video, it.turns out its his channel at Quadcopters UK.
Tony, Yep I have been following QuadCopters almost since the beginning, really cool stuff and the advances in technology seems to have exploded recently, I am looking forward to your wild camps with a copter, should be interesting LOL.
Haha I'm way behind. But with this and.puppy exciting times ahead :) It's dangerous getting ideas in my head lol ;) I see they do new v2 goggles now. It'll take awhile to figure it all out as I know zilch.
The ground on ur camera goes to the ground directly next to the video in ground, and the other ground from the video out plugs into the ground that plugs into your transmitter.
Thanks for the good explanations. I will install mine tonight. Just one comment on the height. It is not showing the height above ground, as you said, but the height in relation to your take-off point. I guess this is important, as one might think he is 2m high and crashes, as it is just 2m higher that the tai-off and not above the actual ground.
Brilliant stuff, just as im about to place a order for the immersions kit i see this video. Well thank you for the upload. I just hope the phantom is compatible with all this. Im sure it is as the pmu is used for the zenmuse isn't it?
Another great video, love all the on screen info, can I send you my Gimbal so you can fix it for me after a small crash as I don't have a clue what I'm doing lol
this just saved me a lot of time and money, getting a phantom 2 v2.0. instead of the vision ( not plus one ) being I have a Gopro H4, deff building my one setup, which i can transfer to of things as i build them :D Thanks :D
Thanks for this video, its confirmed what I thought, I've now ordered it and looking forward to trying to make the lead myself. you made it look easy, the instructions from DJI were hard to follow. thanks
Having the same problem. Hooking up the transmitter to the IOSD mini is no problem. Bu i don't know where the transmitter is getting its power form . Cant find any manual about that.
Abdulla Alqassemi You are my hero of the week. Next week is my girlfriend back on top :-) no seriously Have looked at this manual several times. but looked over it. Thx man :-)
Nice review, I've been looking this myself and you answered some key questions for me, especially if it uses the NAZA GPS. Can you tell me what motors you're using, I want to upgrade my stock DJI and looking at the Torxpower 2216 900kv. Cheers
Great vid - This is a great little piece of kit. I want to put one in my Phantom. Do you know if it will work? IF it does then I was planning on installing it with the upgraded main board so I don't need the PMU for the H3-2D but I cant see how this would connect into the NAZA on the Phantom - any ideas?
Hi! Nice vid. Just received mine. I am puzzled though by the connection of the iOSD to the cam and Tx. I am OK with the the video connection, from the vid > iOSD > Tx, but what about the ground connection? Since the power of the vid is comming from the Tx, do you just connect GND.vid > iOSD > GND.Tx
Thanks for the details. Is the Voltage allways shown? I mean if you switch off the internal warnings. Asking since I use sometime 3S and 4S on the same Setup and cannot change it when beeing outsite.
Thanks for the informative vid as always. I need one of those Lens Hoods! Any idea when they will be available? And if it works with wide or medium FOV? Thanks!
Great Video is there any adjustment for the Height indicator? I just installed mine and the height is showing - 4 on the ground? Is this a problem with Naza calibration or settings?
What battery were you flying with? 3s or 4s lipo? 4s right? Also- if I'm running a 3s 4000 MaH lipo, what's a safe voltage to stop at (without going to low on the battery). I just got my iOsd mini yesterday (my first OSD) and I love it :)
Pretty awesome review there. Any chance that you did this same flying review for the EzOSD? I'm looking to compare all of the top OSD's. I want to see them in action before I commit. I wish someone would do a head-to-head comparo. (EzOSD, iOSD, minimOSD)
Although the EZosd unit seemed messy, the thing it can do is link to an Antenna Tracker module on the ground to direct your antennas at your craft. Is the DJI iOSD mini possible to pass through the GSP data to the right audio channel of the video transmitter like the EZosd unit does?
Why is your artificial horizon working incorrectly? It's showing the *not* horizon when you pitch and roll. Is there a setting to change or have you got the sensor mounted upside down/backwards?
Using the iOSD with the Naza M V2, is there much lag in the video that you see on the monitor? Can you recommend a monitor with good daytime readability for a good price? Thanks for the great video.
So in order to actually know if I got a LITe I must open and look at my Rx should it say V2 on it? dam al lthis work Lol HPI-Guy thank you for your hard work I watched Johnny megs vid. the Cyclops storm or breeze, this sold me. why the low battery part, distance. and YOU!! I own a DJI V1.1.1 firmware is updated one time not sure to what. I know I need two parts. Ihave the skills, Just did not want to spend the dough just yet, till I find my answers. thanks again thumbed up at 904 commented at 219. FISH
I was thinhking to buy before i see this video now for sure i will change my range video osd with the mini osd od dji.Excelent edit and very nice video thank you for sharing (i sub also :) ).
Hi, are you able to remove unwanted displays from the screen? say pitch/roll degrees. Can you change the units of measurements from metric to imperial? Thanks
Yes i bought a Naza lite and you can upgrade the firmware to v.2 with a easy upload, you can then add on all the great extras of the V2 :) you just need to buy your self a V2 PMU and also the IOSD lite.
Hi have bought the mini iosd and the mk2 as well and I cannot get the distance to home and home pointer working. Can you please give me any suggestions. Thanks
How do you power the camera (KX191) and the VTX?? I have a red left on the camera and red left on the video trans, no sure how to wire so that I can power the devices since I have already used the ground wire into the iOSD.

just ordered mine, can't wait to install it soon!
looks great Richard , thanks for all the vids, you have literally got me off the ground . keep up the good work
yeah I said that wrong didn't I , its more of an attitude gauge for the quad. it shows what the quad is doing and not a horizon. I have not plugged it into the assistant yet but you might be able to change it like you said.
the DJI iOSD mini looks pretty cool, sure does make for a neater installation
Awesome review. Couldn't be better! DJI should be showering you in gold for explaining their products 1000x better than they do!
Thanks! This really helped me understand the iOSD Mini features. It wasn't clear with the DJI website and such. What I really needed to know is if it has home position, altitude, and amp. Now I know it has everything I need except the amps.
I've gotten a lot out of your videos, Richard, including this one . Thanks!
I am glad I subbed your channel. This is the most in depth explanation of the IOSD I have seen. Great help for us new pilots. :)
Well done sir! Thank you.
Great review. Good vid quality and very informative. Good to see there's somebody out there putting out good content.
great review on the iosd. got one because of your video. like the diamond showing home base, small and pairs-up with naza v2. thanks.......
Wow, what an amazing piece of kit. Thanks Richard.
Really like this video, have enjoyed watching this style of copters for a few years now and this video really put things into perspective.
Hi Don,
Yes, and the small world, I was chatting to Richard (the poor bugger putting up with me lol ;) and found this video, it.turns out its his channel at Quadcopters UK.
Getting very excited to get this soon :)
Just hope I don't crash it lol!
Tony, Yep I have been following QuadCopters almost since the beginning, really cool stuff and the advances in technology seems to have exploded recently, I am looking forward to your wild camps with a copter, should be interesting LOL.
Haha I'm way behind. But with this and.puppy exciting times ahead :)
It's dangerous getting ideas in my head lol ;)
I see they do new v2 goggles now.
It'll take awhile to figure it all out as I know zilch.
Great Video of the IOSD mini, i would pickup a 600TVL sony cam for FPV gopro video out works but the fish-eye and black border makes it not optimal
Great review!!!! best regards.
Thank you!! Just got mine this weekend and the manual was brief with its descriptions!!
Thanks for the great video! I like it when I get to see the building process and also a little demonstration video :-) Keep up the good work!
Another great video - Thanks!
Are these available now to buy?
The ground on ur camera goes to the ground directly next to the video in ground, and the other ground from the video out plugs into the ground that plugs into your transmitter.
Very informative video. Thank you for taking the time to make and share this with us. (Tom)
Very nice review ! Just what I needed to decide to buy the iOSD mini. Thanks !
you will use the video out from the H3 2D BEFORE the isod. just wire the signal wire and ground into the iosd then out to the video transmitter :)
Thanks for the good explanations. I will install mine tonight. Just one comment on the height. It is not showing the height above ground, as you said, but the height in relation to your take-off point. I guess this is important, as one might think he is 2m high and crashes, as it is just 2m higher that the tai-off and not above the actual ground.
Great video. Now convinced me to buy the MiniOSD for my quad. Cheers!
Brilliant stuff, just as im about to place a order for the immersions kit i see this video. Well thank you for the upload. I just hope the phantom is compatible with all this. Im sure it is as the pmu is used for the zenmuse isn't it?
Thanks Josh! appreciate the comment :)
Good video and impressive flying
Thank you. You made it a lot easier for me. Will do my first FPV tomorrow with a phantom 2.
that was a good help knew some of it you just tidied it up for me cheers
Another great video, love all the on screen info, can I send you my Gimbal so you can fix it for me after a small crash as I don't have a clue what I'm doing lol

A very helpful video instructions you made. Thank you
I want to get into this hobby more but this is rocket science!!!!!!!!
Thanks for this video, its confirmed what I thought, I've now ordered it and looking forward to trying to make the lead myself.
you made it look easy, the instructions from DJI were hard to follow.
thanks
Thanks for sharing your experience much appreciated
Thanks good vid I've just picked up a storm srd 370 with same osd and googled understanding home point. Now I do thanks
Dude that’s excellent! I want it!
Very cool indeed. Will this work with my DJI Phantom ?
Rich, could you please do a video connecting a Phantom 2 with Zenmuse to a immersion 5.8TX and dji mini iosd.
Having the same problem. Hooking up the transmitter to the IOSD mini is no problem. Bu i don't know where the transmitter is getting its power form . Cant find any manual about that.

Yet another great video!
Thanks for the video mate ! Must admit your daughter made me smile :P
Many thanks for sharing your knowledge!
beautiful video!

Hi Richard. Looked for the Simon Says gopro lens hood protector and I can't find it on the site. Do you have any links?
posted it in the desc, but its not for sale yet*
Hey Richard i heard that this iOSD can support two cameras is that true? if so any idea how to conect it... ;) thanks again and great videos...
Many thnks for putting this video up..great info..
Great Video, Where did you get the lead to plug into your go pro for video out and power.

hi great video ! i trying to assemble naza v1 with pmu and iosd mini. where should i connect the led to the naza. the pmu takes the x3 port.
yeah its a nice bit of kit :)
hi,
is it possible to display the coordinates somehow ?
in case of a remote crash, this would be very helpful ...
Are you able to setup the artificial horizon? In your video it goes the opposite way it should be going for both pitch and roll.
great video thanks for this excellent useful guide.
Why is your artificial horizon working incorrectly? It's showing the *not* horizon when you pitch and roll. Is there a setting to change or have you got the sensor mounted upside down/backwards?
Good afternoon friend, it is possible to install the mini IOSD using the DJI gimbal ZENMUSE H3-2D or will miss an entry?
Another brilliant and very useful vid.. Cheers... :o)
Good job!
Using the iOSD with the Naza M V2, is there much lag in the video that you see on the monitor? Can you recommend a monitor with good daytime readability for a good price? Thanks for the great video.
Another great vid , cheers
Nice explanation!!!
Great video, Plain talking and with practical example video. Thanks.
i got a really noob question, will the osd info be on your gopro recorded footage or will only be streamed to your fatshark's?
Thank, I'll try that tonight.
thanks mate :)
You didn't put shrink tube on each wire before soldering together?
So in order to actually know if I got a LITe I must open and look at my Rx should it say V2 on it? dam al lthis work Lol HPI-Guy thank you for your hard work I watched Johnny megs vid. the Cyclops storm or breeze, this sold me. why the low battery part, distance. and YOU!!
I own a DJI V1.1.1 firmware is updated one time not sure to what. I know I need two parts.
Ihave the skills, Just did not want to spend the dough just yet, till I find my answers. thanks again thumbed up at 904 commented at 219.
FISH
I like it. Will the iOSD work with the Naza Lite??
no...
Awesome video!
I was thinhking to buy before i see this video now for sure i will change my range video osd with the mini osd od dji.Excelent edit and very nice video thank you for sharing (i sub also :) ).
Excellent. Thanks.
I miss a time counter in all Phantom settings.
Does iOSD Mini warns you about low-level battery?
How did you record the video? What was the recording device?
do you know where I can buy another dji mini Molex cable?
Hi, are you able to remove unwanted displays from the screen? say pitch/roll degrees.
Can you change the units of measurements from metric to imperial?
Thanks
Thanks for the video it will help me out, Have one question why is it you think the height isn't on point.
Can the set you used be used for rc planes as well or just quadcopters?
Is there a video concerning the software down load. How to sorta thing?
Great vid and thanks very much for sharing, however I'm a little disappointed that from all accounts, it won't work with the Naza light.
you must first upgrade your Naza Lite to V2
naza-upgrade.com/
please donate!
Yes i bought a Naza lite and you can upgrade the firmware to v.2 with a easy upload, you can then add on all the great extras of the V2 :) you just need to buy your self a V2 PMU and also the IOSD lite.
+Ray Nyce why donate ?? what do you need money for ??
Thank you for this great explanation it helped me alot with conecting mu osd mini to mij fatshark fpv camera :) thumbs up from me
Thank You very Helpful !!! What I needed to know ta
Hi have bought the mini iosd and the mk2 as well and I cannot get the distance to home and home pointer working.
Can you please give me any suggestions.
Thanks
Thanks for the great vid.
Thanks for the video, helped me decide whether to get it or not :)
Thank you
How do you power the camera (KX191) and the VTX??
I have a red left on the camera and red left on the video trans, no sure how to wire so that I can power the devices since I have already used the ground wire into the iOSD.
Well explained video :-)
What motors you running on that?
