Just another Solo video. Set to some funky free music from YouTube.

Just deleted and reinstalled the app from the play store. Got the registration and safety nonsense, but no new updated software - still 1.2.0

Cool. I'll give it a whirl. Thanks!

Thanks for the advice, but how will an ND filter help? If the problem is caused by the props casting a shadow on the lens and interfering with the light coming into the camera, wouldn't the same thing happen on the ND filter? It's just a piece of tinted glass in front of the lens no?

Prop shadows? I've been flying toward the sun for months, at all angles, before and after gimbal and never saw anything like this. What's the remedy?

Tried out my brand new Hero 4 Black and got these odd lines in the video.

Yes

Rant alert: If I didn't know better, I'd swear I stumbled onto an April's fool thread. Solo facing south causes problems, really? Thank God we have 3 other directions to use! Seriously though, this is really beyond ridiculous and bordering on absurd. With this bird, it's a game of constantly...

First flight with gimbal, pretty much flawless. Second flight, not so much. The only variable was using a different battery.

My first gimbal footage. Please notice around 1:00 and around 2:30, the gimbal seems to lose stability. It happened in the same exact spot twice, so I suspect interference of some kind. Otherwise pretty stable. Worth the wait? Time will tell.

Yup. Stay away if you know what's good for ye!

Hahah. I was convinced B&H was not shipping individual gimbals because they wanted to be able to fulfill the "kit" orders first. They probably have a better margin on the full kit than just the gimbal. So let's recap - they had motive and they had opportunity, and according to 3DR, they had the...

Seems to have done the trick. I have to admit I was a little reluctant, the Apple Terminal application is pretty advanced for me. First gimbal flight tomorrow, woo hoo!
