    GOPRO HERO-4 BLACK view feed since 1.2.0

    Anyone with a IOS device have this problem? Please weight in. I don't have any apple products to try it on. I have a Ipad 4 but the 3DR app is not compatible for the regular Ipads:confused:

    need help diagnosing gimbal fault

    I think you may have blown a fuse, From my understanding the fuse is soldiered onto the gimbal board. But I would contact 3DR to verify that that.

    GOPRO HERO-4 BLACK view feed since 1.2.0

    I thought at first it was my Galaxy tab 4 causing the problem being a El cheapo tableto_O I switched back to using my S6 with the same problem so it has nothing to do with what device receives the video signal. Anyone else here having this problem?

    GOPRO HERO-4 BLACK view feed since 1.2.0

    Same problem here! I'm getting some amount of latency more so when I manually roll the gimbal. I first noticed this the day I installed the gimbal, I never had this issue when I was using my GoPro mounted in the frame. I'm guessing it has something to do with the video feed going through the...

    Compass calibration with the gimbal attached?

    It's by design I'm thinking!! so it wears out the gimbal over time forcing parts replacement or a new gimbal purchaseo_O

    Wondering how well balance the factory props are?

    From the T-Motor info I have they recommend bearing replacements after 60 to 80 flights, bearings are fairly cheap and easy to replace. I'm going to replace mine over the winter months. I guess a good project for a cold winter day.

    Wondering how well balance the factory props are?

    They almost look like there made by T-Motor, Does anyone know who makes the motors for Solo?

    Wondering how well balance the factory props are?

    It's the the same vinyl that's used to make signs with that I got from my local sign shop. it's thin satin black vinyl . I cut them in approx 2mm squares. one of the blade took two pieces and the other blade took one. I'm not sure if I just got lucky or the quality has improved on them.

    Wondering how well balance the factory props are?

    I just bought a full set of spare props for my Solo and a 6mm shaft for my Du-Bro prop balancer for solo props. To my surprise just about every prop I checked was spot on. only two of the eight props needed a little bit of weight. I used some small pieces of vinyl tape to correct the balance...

    Do you prefer to land Manual or Auto?

    Agreed! That's what your paying for!!! technology. However anyone that fly's Multi-rotor should learn to fly in manual mode and become proficient with the basics of manual flight. If you don't feel up to trying manual mode with your Solo get yourself a cheap $90 quad like the Dromida Vista to...

    Compass calibration with the gimbal attached?

    This might help: Never power the gimbal without camera attached. The motors will oscillate continuously which can result in a burnt motor and the driver. For longer lifetime function, the camera COG should be balanced (the camera is balanced when released at any angle) before power is supplied

    Do you prefer to land Manual or Auto?

    I fly mostly in auto-mode because most of my time is spent staring at my screen and concentrating on framing my shots not correcting for drift. I do have manual mode programmed on my B preset if I need to take control. I use manual when flying under trees or areas that have poor GPS signals. I...

    Soft or hard case?

    The backpack all the way. Comes in handy for hiking to locations to cant access by car.

    Compass calibration with the gimbal attached?

    You confirmed the correct way!! 3DR Tech support gives me the same answer.

    Compass calibration with the gimbal attached?

    Agreed! I'm going to drop my 3DR insider an email because I'm wondering how they do it on there testing platform.
