  2 big holes on the top cover above the battery compartment either side of the red button now filled. I blocked these off on the front only using plastic from a disposable food box and leaving vents on either side. I also added another status light making it rather bug like. Have been flying this for a while and no tempissues so far. See attached image :-)

  Can't edit my comment but I meant the vents in the bottom of the shell need some place for the air to exit.

  @ David,

  In the first edition of the IRIS the telemetry radio hung out the back.  On the IRIS+ they fixed that by adding the antenna hole on the side.

  As far as blocking them off, I wouldn't necessarily completely block them off as the vents in the top of the shell scoop the air (while in flight)  and the air needs to exit someplace.  I believe that the general rule of thumb is to have the exits 2x as big as the entrance.

  Also, 3DR experimented with placing the video Tx back there as well and those tend to get a little warm.  Now the suggestion is for the VTx to be velcroed to the bottom shell behind the gimbal.

  So why 2 big holes on the top cover above the battery compartment, either side of the red button.They are OK and could be used for routing cables etc. but spoil an otherwise nicely designed unit. Is there a reason i shouldn't fill them in?

  Just bought iris+ from Frys, gimbal will not power on, no shakes, no blue light, no nothing. 2nd iris I bought in 2 weeks, 1st on works fine. Help!!

  I've broken my front GoPro mount that attaches to the IRIS+ frame, does anyone have a spare or link to a seller?

  You are confusing Almanac data with Ephemeris data. 

  It is true that Almanac data takes 10 to 12 minutes to down load fresh data.

  But Ephemeris data is broadcast by each SV every 30 seconds.
