I am wondering what brand/type of tape you recommend for mounting the IOSD Mini and a video transmitter to the Phantom 2. The FPV hub includes 3M VHB tape but there are many variaties of that tape and im not sure which one is appriopate for the Phantom. Thank you.

The 3M VHB tape included works well if both surfaces being mated are flat (parallel planes).
The VHB tape DJI prefers is very thin to limit movement of components.
If you are mounting to a slightly curved surface on the Phantom shell, the gray 3M HD mounting tape (Lowes or Home Depot) would be an acceptable choice.
Slight movement of the iOSD mini and the VTx is not as critical as a FC or GPS puck.

What I'd do is use Google or Yahoo search.
"thin 3M VHB tape"
"gray 3M heavy duty double sided mounting tape"
You're as capable as I am when it comes to that...

Thank TJ, I tried that before posting though. There are about 10 varieties of what I would consider "thin" 3m vhb tape. What I'm looking for is the product number which identifies the tape for example "3M™ VHB™ Tape 5907" or "3M™ VHB™ Tape 4914". Gray 3m heavy duty double sided tape is just as ambiguous. 3M makes many models of gray heavy duty double sided tape all with different specs. Does anybody have this info?

I mounted the OSD internally and used 3M picture hanging command strips to hold it in place.  I also used the command strips to hold the anti-interference board and Immersion transmitter to the Phantom underside.  What I especially like about the picture hanging Command Strips is they have the ability to be repositioned like velcro plus the ease of removal that most double sided tapes do NOT have!
