Hi Andy, please feel free to ask - just remember I am new to this world and may give wrong/stupid/ignorant answers Other members are most welcome to cut in and correct where necessary.Hi Bluerex, IYDMMA, what camera are you usung in conjunction with you iOSD? BTW, did you calibrate your gps compass?, and what's your GPS lock like in the Southern/H?

I had a couple of attempts at getting the OSD camera working, problems with the version 1 of DIJ's OSD are well documented. I originally tried the cam I used with my other "Hobby King type Chinese" transmitters a Foxtechfpv CM210 even with the SOA adaptor it just didn't want to work reliably with the DJI gear. So I swapped it for a Carbonbird cam from Multiwiicopters and the results were great.
I am using the DJI downlink transmitter because it just works with the OSD *and* it allows me to run video from both the mini-cam and what ever recording cam (Gopro 2/3 or Canon 550D) I have fitted.
The one change I made was to tweak my transmitter (setting the endpoints) so that I can run the cam select function off a momentary switch on my Aurora without the danger of the downlink thinking that I want to change my transmit channel (both of these functions are normally shared on a single 3-way switch)
I did the normal compass calibration in the back yard - no problem once I actually read the instructions (and not just relied on what I remembered from my Naza calibrations). I did however quickly find that disconnecting the gimbal power feed was a good idea - poor thing just wasn't coping with the vertical rotating in the second stage of compass calibration.
I can't really comment yet on the GPS lock, my yard is overshadowed by the house and garage and 4-5 satellites is the best I can manage during the day. I plan on some ground testing on the local playing field today so I may have a better answer for you later.
