Here’s how I have my DJI Lightbridge configured for Phantom 2 and local recording. I’m using DJI’s 5.8G radio control and replacement receiver for Phantom, so I’m not running vehicle control over Lightbridge (which is what I’m doing on the S800 EVO setup). This keeps the radio light and simple, which is OK because the ...
