    3D solo on the Battlefield

    WRONG Cheap drones are a deadly problem with an expensive solution for the U.S. military.

    New Canadian Laws

    Lawmakers would prefer to take all guns, all private vehicles and all personally owned flying machine because all of those can be used to counter the power of government and also for terrorist activities and such things as assassination.

    I doubt it, but time will tell. The industry lobby is far more effective in the US.

    New Canadian Laws

    In the US no certificate is required for non-professionals. Part 107 is for professional licences only and allows you to fly for pay. It requires a rather extensive in person test for certification. In Canada non-professionals will be required to obtain the certificate starting July 2019.

    Suggested GoPro Settings for Solo

    Lots of good info. Just wanted to point out that another reason for using a high frame rate is to get a smooth slow motion effect when you playback your video. ie. shooting at 120fps allows you to get a smooth video at 4x slow motion when played back at 30fps

    Gimbal, gopro hero 4 silver, and solo app

    HD4.01.05.00.00 Release Date: 10/21/2016 (latest) works fine with the gimbal and solo app. If you can't control the camera make sure its seated properly in the mount and that your gopro settings are good. ie, WiFi off, and start with Video 1080/60. Make sure you have selected the correct camera...
