I bought a gopro 4 (black) and i have a phantom 2. I bought plug n play chords, took the top off the quad and installed all the chords. hooked the cam up to the port, plugged it to the gimbal. I have a H33D Gimbal and i plugged the usb/ video port into it and i made sure it is on NTSC. I have a black pearl monitor i bought as well. I turned that on Band e, and channel one and i get a bunch of static and i see lines go down the screen but i cant make out anything coming from the gopro. The transmitter i used is an Immersion Rc 600mw and it is hooked up with the antenna on. I see a red light and antennas on the Black Pearl are also on. Im sorry if i worded this wrong. Someone please help. I will also add a video of what it looks like. I have it all non assembled until i get it to work obviously. =

hey bud, just watch your video posted.  A quick question for you, I did not notice if you had an antenna screwed into the transmitter.  If you powered up the phantom without having an antenna screwed into the transmitter you might be crap out of luck.  the transmitter with burn itself out in a few seconds.

everyone. this is an update. Gopro 4 does work for Fpv on the PHANTOM 2 . I have the black pearl. You switch the 2 dip switches off and the other 2 on (The transmitter), set the monitor to Band f Channel 4. Make sure that the gopro has the ribbon cable plugged into it and its on. Dont use the plug n play adapter offline.... Its a piece of sh**. Just solder the wires from the transmitter to the cables on the drone for the cam port, you don't even need a soldering iron. Just wrap the wires together and then wrap wire solder around it and use a lighter, if done correctly it will look nice. Then just use shrink tube or electrical tape and push it up the hole on the leg of the phantom. Bam, everyone on this forum this goes to you and the false rumors being spread. THE GOPRO 4 BLACK DOES INDEED WORK FOR FPV ON THE BLACKPEARL MONITOR AND THE IMMERSION RC 600 MW TRANSMITTER. Thanks, - Ryan.

(Dont talk to customer support, they don't help with anything...)

Good job, you solved the problem on your own. Still recommend using proper soldering tools though.
