    Some short 180 degree aerial footage.

    It's a Kodak 360 sp360 4k camera velcroed to the bottom of Solo. The Kodak software compresses the video too much and downgrades the quality. However this is a 180 degree spherical video so you can move around within the video and if you had a VR headset such as GearVR, Google Cardboard or...

    Just a little short test. No editing, raw footage and of course youtube has degraded the video some. Shot with Kodak's SP360 4k camera (one of them). Would love to have this retractable landing gear hack.... I wonder how bad it affected the flight time though. I'll have do another video of...

    I already have the Solo Gimbal so I took the Tarot off. I took one pic before I took it off but I'm not sure it will help you any. Here you go, gotta run.

    Some gimbal video shot this morning...
