    The Future?

    Found this interview this morning, with 3D Robotics CEO Chris Anderson. He speaking about making drones smarter where they will not fly near airports and other no fly zones. Making drones smarter with software

    Solo Gimbal - Handheld conversion

    The thing that really intrigued me, was it allows for the phone, maybe tablet to be attached so you can see the video. But yeah, getting one just for the GoPro, would be good too. My camera work sucks, while just standing.

    Solo Gimbal - Handheld conversion

    While at BestBuy the other day I saw a Yuneec Typhoon 4K Quadcopter. And it caught my eye, it was priced at $1,299.00. They have a conversion for their gimbal to be handheld, for the GoPro. I really hope they sell it on the side, it is something that I would like to have. Typhoon 4K | Yuneec...

    Solo V1.2 release

    Yesterday, I got to take the Solo out in the morning with the update installed. It fixed most of the issues. But the gimbal kept sweeping from side to side now. I was still in the return window for the gimbal so I returned it. Got another one, it worked GREAT. But while messing around I...

    Solo V1.2 release

    I installed the update, everything seems to have worked correctly with the install. I only had to reset the "B" button. I even got a 8 sat lock sitting on my desk. I even started the motors and gave it power to take off (without props). I'll test fly it in the morning.

    Windows 10 compatible GoPro studio replacement

    No, just point PD to the files and use them. I at one time used GPS (GoPro Studio) to convert them and trim them down, but that caused more problem than it was worth. So now I just use PD to do everything, like others have said its a little bit of a learning curve but its worth it.

    Solo Gimbal works great on my desk, but not in the air.

    I know it wasn't facing south. But not sure it was point north or east, but it was 0 to 90. I guess I'll break out my compass on my phone and put it north and power everything up this afternoon. I also haven't done the "stick calibration" or the compass calibration, but I did do the level...

    Solo Gimbal works great on my desk, but not in the air.

    I purchased a gimbal from Best Buy the other day and got around to installing it yesterday. When I first installed it, seems like was it super off balance, so I came to the internet for help...and found this forum. I am using the HERO 4 Black, so I didn't add any weights. To try and fix the...

    Windows 10 compatible GoPro studio replacement

    They just released PowerDirector 14. For general video editing nothing over the top, Ultimate is great.

    Windows 10 compatible GoPro studio replacement

    One program that I use to edit videos is "CyberLink PowerDirector 13 64bit" Just tossing another program in to the mix of the standard programs.
