    Boat Mode

    I am very glad this "boat mode" is being discussed. There are some very tall waterfalls up in British Columbia only accessible by boat, and they are the whole reason that I originally decided to purchase the Solo. I envisioned the "Dronie" shot with our boat getting smaller and smaller down on...

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

    I'm an old guy that has to read a lot of your info and then get the nerve up to do this stuff. But I just got my gopro back from Peau, with the new 3.97. And I got some ND filters and the circular polarizer. I don't know how to use the GP Studio software or any other brand for post corrections...

    Could someone explain what the advantage is to get Root Access? What does that do for you, or what are you trying to control or accomplish?

    Stable video in windy conditions?

    Why do several of the videos that I see posted, yours included, seem to lock into a sharper setting at about 5 seconds into the playback? At first it is less than HD. But after the 5 sec mark you have a crystal clear picture.

    A List of Tablets with Screen Brightness Values - Direct Sun issues

    Could I ask you what you designed with the cad files. If you need something cut either on water jet or laser maybe I could be of help. I did not see any of the original conversation.

    tablet choice

    I use the Samsung Tab S2 in my novice way. I got a larger device holder that was compatible with the four slots provided for the original smaller device clamp. It was a link provided on this discussion site. But I need to find a sun shade hood for it. The S2 is very bright and sharp. Tower looks...

    Map of Solo Owners?

    Thanks Gabe. We will be going from Seattle to Denver this week. My interpretation of the FAA rules is that the batteries seem to be permissible but it always depends on the group working that day. One hobby shop person also told me to keep lipo batteries about 1/3 charge when in storage for...

    Map of Solo Owners?

    Port Orchard, WA How am I showing up on the map? Who knows that i have a Solo? Or is this based upon being a member of the forum? I have a lot to learn. Does anyone know if my backpack with three batteries will be allowed as a carry-on when we fly?

    Checking for Sunbathers on Top of Giant Wind Turbine

    You have very nice settings on your gopro. Beautiful ascent, pans, and control. I still have not figured out what to use to get rid of corner flutters from the blades, and you have great color and tones. Any suggestions on the gopro 4 black settings? I am trying to learn the camera at the same...
