    Video: Stock vs. 4.35 vs. 3.97 mm Peau replacement lens

    That is entirely up to them and I do respect that. However, I agree with Dmitry, it's only a matter of time. Shipping costs are a huge factor in how this service is performed. Turn around time is another. Same goes for the new 3.97 lens. The exclusivity on that lens will end at some point which...

    Why *I* Don't Catch *My* Drone

    I agree wholeheartedly that it is not without risk. The same goes for those who decide to jump out of airplanes, ride motorbikes, etc. I scuba dive for a living shooting underwater videos and even frequently encounter sharks such as Tigers and Great Whites. While I am sure there are accidents...

    Why *I* Don't Catch *My* Drone

    Been hand catching my Phantoms for a couple of years without incident. I do many aerials from boats as my job and in difficult to land areas out in the wild.... It really isn't difficult. Having said that, the design of the SOLO makes it MUCH harder to attempt a hand catch. I would certainly...

    FPV system for Solo?

    Nah, I have been on assignment on a dive vessel for 2 months shooting underwater and aerials for a TV show. Had to buy 2 P3P's because of the need to hand launch from a boat and the required range to fly up to volcanoes, etc. Just got back and only just purchased my SOLO Gimbal. I have been...

    Video: Stock vs. 4.35 vs. 3.97 mm Peau replacement lens

    Hi Dimitry, I believe this is the first step to being able to remove the pink in a GP4? Getting root access first? If so, any idea what the other steps are? Cheers

    The gimbal video thread

    Thanks for that buddy. Your video gave me confidence in using the 5.4mm for this setup. Looks good. No shake evident. I have the same lens with the supermount and the internal filters. Btw, did you send in your Gopro for the de-pink option? Colors look ok without edits.

    Gimbal / Label description problem

    What DodgeP said... The setting is within the GoPro menu itself and not something you change on the app...

    Solo Gimbal Test..

    Noticed a little vibration in the shots. Even on the starting scene. Very minor though. Orbit works great but Follow me seems really jerky. I guess it's more for fast moving subjects. Yeah, I do think the quality of the 4.35 seems to be a little lacking. Most 3rd party sites selling it are...

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

    I will certainly try it. Thank you so much for taking the time to post this :)

    The gimbal video thread

    True. It's what I was using at times when I had to deliver 4k footage. However it's still too wide and I had props in my P2 footage that needed to be cropped out which reduced the resolution a little. I much prefer a proper rectilinear lens for my video work. There are admittedly some...

    ragecams lens upgrade?

    I would like to know this too. I have the 5.4 and the Supermount (not yet installed). But I would like to know the performance of the 4.3. Some people I spoke to mentioned there were focus issues? I find this unlikely but am keen to know of anyone else's experience. 4.3mm for me is the better...

    The gimbal video thread

    If you want to shoot in 4k, Medium is not an option.... It will only be in Wide and 30fps.

    New GoPros coming...

    On a laptop with Core i7 at 2.6 Ghz and only 16gb ram, rendering 1080p video from files that are almost 100mb per second takes only minutes for a 3 min video, and an hour for 4k high bitrate video which tops out at almost 1gb for 3 mins. If it's taking you 8 hours, you need a new computer buddy...
