  Only use the DJI HD gimbal and DJI flight controller with the latest firmware. 
 If you are using the DJI A2 Flight Controller, connect the gimbal cable to the CAN 2 

port on the controller unit.

  A CAN-HUB is recommended to provide extra CAN ports, if there is not enough CAN port.

Standard Configurations

This section provides examples and way to configure Lightbridge 2. Choose the configuration 
that best fits your needs.

Air System - DJI HD DJI Flight Controller

When used with a DJI HD gimbal, you can select either single or dual video source mode in the 
DJI GO app. In single video source mode, the Air System transmits either the gimbal camera 
video or FPV camera signal to the Ground System. In dual video source mode, both signals are 
transmitted by the Air System.

Connect the system as follows:
1. Connect the gimbal port on the Air System to the G7 port on the DJI HD gimbal and the CAN 

BUS port on the flight controller.

2. Connect the HDMI or AV port on the Air System to the FPV camera.
3. Connect the DBUS port on the Air System to the DBUS port (X2 port) on the flight controller with 

the DBUS cable. 

4. Refer to the user manuals for the gimbal and flight controller for details.
