    Hero 4 Black freezing

    I'd like to see a bullet point 8 :) 8. Upgrade your GoPro to the new firmware where gopro have recognized a problem in the camera firmware and have fixed the issue where the camera does not freeze anymore. Your video may be stored at a lower resolution/fps due to a 'problem' SD card, but your...

    Hero 4 Black freezing

    Yep, it's the easy way out to blame the SD card. I bet the SD card may be contributing to the problem, however the camera itself should be robust enough to recognize a problem card and not freeze. Perhaps store data at a lower rate or not even store at all.

    Hero 4 Black freezing

    My Black used to lock up within 30 seconds of powering it on without a card installed.

    Hero 4 Black freezing

    I cannot get it to reproduce at will, but when I last talked to GoPro support, their attitude was just to return the camera and you get a new one (which may also freeze up ;) )

    Hero 4 Black freezing

    GoPro told me the exact same thing. "Freezing ? Really ? Never herd of that". Then I told him to go Google freezing gopros and tell me how many hits you get ;) The Black was returned to GoPro and exchanged for a new one. I sold the Black and tried a Silver which seemed to be a lot better...

    Hero 4 Black freezing

    I've had the exact same thing happen with both a Hero4 Black and Hero4 Silver. The Silver seems more reliable than the Black but overall I'm not impressed with the reliability of these cameras. When mine locks up I just hold down the power button on the camera for around 10 seconds. Don't...

    Live stream issues - Solved

    I'd also like the ability to stop/start the GoPro recording without the need for a gimbal. I'm using Android too. Had a horrible time getting the GoPro Hero4 Silver to work a couple of days ago. Powered everything up, no live video. Discovered the camera had frozen. Rebooted the camera, no...

    Fly Manual mode question

    So I've been flying in the house in manual mode lately. Flies great apart from the solo is consistently drifting at the 2 o'clock position. Nothing big but it's fairly consistent between flights. I was wondering if there's a 'trim' setting somewhere that I could tweak to see if I could reduce...

    Update 1.1.15 out

    Just completed the upgrade. All went well, no problems from what I can see apart from the upgrade wiping out the assignments I made to the A | B buttons on the controller

    Does ANYONE know how.....

    I had a Hero4 Black that would consistently lock up. Returned it, but switched to a Hero4 Silver ( like the LCD on the back ), and it's been much better. Still locks up every now and then but it's rare

    Is this something that was added in the latest firmware upgrade ?

    Video - Software mod to increase radio range - hostapd.conf

    Mine just did the same thing 5 mins ago. I connected to SoloLink but my mac wifi icon in the menu bar up top was still animating like it was finding networks

    Video - Software mod to increase radio range - hostapd.conf

    That may just mean that the mac has network connectivity but not external internet connectivity. Either way, it's a 'mac' thing and nothing to do with SoloLink ( I think ;) )
