If you are using a PWM receiver and a flight controller that supports it then yes. PWM is the most common for most things, so your FCB probably supports it, and if you are using a Spektruim Tx then you can get a cheap Orange Rx. So two questions, what FCB, and what radio are you using?

One problem with using WiFi is the range, if range is not a problem for you then this is a good way to go as it is cheap and really easy to use. A gimbal is not as much of a need while using a phantom as it is with other quads because the Phantom is pretty docile. 802.11g (WiFi, g) uses...

Also one problem that is not so much with toy grade, but pretty important with hobby is to make sure you turn the Tx on before the Rx.

With PWM it is really simple, just switch the two sticks to have the left one not spring to center, and then plug in the channels as you would a mode 2. With PPM and SBUS you have to adjust the channels in the software/firmware on the FCB, or on the radio

The Runcam would be just a band-aid to allow you to view footage of your flight. It is 100% self contained, you'd just strap it on. Depending on your budget, you could buy the pretty-expensive,-but-maybe-worth it-camera that DJI has for you, or you could go cheaper and have a normal hobby...

How much are you going to be drawing on the screen? I use a 3000mAh battery on the ground, for two reasons. First is so that it never goes dead, second is that I can use it on a quad or plane if I choose.

Could use a zener diode and non-linear resistor to act as a lightweight voltage regulator, though I don't know of any zener diodes that small.

if you are drawing 220mA, then a 220mAh battery would work for an hour under perfect conditions. Add 10% efficiency loss and you have 242mAh needed to run for an hour, add in that you can only use ~85% of your battery capacity safely means you's need about a 300mAh battery. I'd get a 1500mAh...

I think you have to stay ~<400ft AGL (should be around 115m), I am from the US, so Neil might be able to tell you better. I think you'll really like it hahaha. A cheap, yet good quality camera to get you started would be a Runcam. I have the HD, and it is great. The Runcam 2 just came...

If you are out of balance enough that your mount screws loosen then that is likely to be your problem. I had my quad up around 400 feet, and I was decending. I brought it to a hover at about 10 feet off the ground and the motor mount had vibraded enough that two of the screws came out...

THe first 1:14 of the the 2nd file are corrupt. From what I see it looks like your tx is not bound to the copter. There may be a saftey that you have to do such as taking the stick from 0% to 100% and back to 0%

Hahaha, a phantom 2 is perfect for someone who has never flown to start on as it is almost hands free. Show a picture of what you have right now. That will tell what all you have and what all you need to do what you are wanting. Neil should be able to help you with your phantom if you...

Looks like these use 802.11n. You could extend range with an antenna upgrade, but you might find that that type of range is not always needed.

You should be able to upgrade the range, it would be harder if the quadcopter is using 802.11 standards instead of a proper standard for this. I'll look into that really quick.

Change how you are plugging the Rx into the FCB. You might also be able to switch to mode 2 in the menu.

Yes hahaha. Most new people look at it like a car that can go up and down. After a bit you can tell them to turn left, roll right, pitch forward.

Exactly, you need to be able to hover by making many tiny adjustments. It comes natural after some practice.
