## Phantom 3 Standard not connecting after replacing camera module.

So I recently bought a new camera module and i went to install it on my phantom 3 standard and for som reason when i open the app, even though the Phantom's network appears and i can connect to it but nothing is appearing on the screen. It's marked as not connecting.

I have the right camera module. I have connected the cables back in the correct spots. What am i missing?

Should i try to relink the RC?

Does the gimbal move when you turn the aircraft on?

Have you tried moving the gimbal with the wheel on the remote? What color are the LEDs on the aircraft after the remote and aircraft are powered on for a few minutes?

though... now that I think about it. If I did the firmware update when I first got my P3S it would be only on the old gimbal that it got applied to... so technically I would probably have to reinstall the firmware then since I have a new gimbal/camera that is running presumably an older firmware version.

The LED's on the aircraft last night when I was testing was blinking yellow.

I'll try again tonight.

the DJI app says that the remote has connected but the hasn't found the aircraft.

Ok. Here's my thoughts. First off, on the standard, the video feed and telemetry is a complete separate connection from the control signal. The control signal is handled by the aircraft, and if the remote will move the gimbal, then the grey ribbon cable is connected properly. The video and telemetry signal is handled by the gimbal itself. Hence, there are two antennas attached to it. One grey, one black. They are very tricky to connect. Remove the two screws from each cover plate and double and triple check those antenna connections.

They are miniature coaxial connectors, so they have to go straight on.

I'll also double check that as well. I'm fairly confident I connected it properly but in any case! Thanks man. I'll get back to you on it.

No problem. I ripped mine off in a crash and with the gimbal off I could still fly, but like you, no video (duh) or data feed. I thought I might still get telemetry but no. It goes through the gimbal. My screen said no connection.

Good luck!

Just needed to relink the controller to the aircraft. So simple. Hah! :)
