    Help- Bricked my green cube

    Sorry, been distracted. Not that it matters as I don't know what to tell you. Frustrating, I am sure.

    Help- Bricked my green cube

    On mine it is simply a a daughter board plugged into the main board with pins. This board contains the SD card. When I did it I just unplugged the HDMI cable coming from the gimbal and pulled the board away from the main board. I was never able to get it to work when the green cube was...

    Help- Bricked my green cube

    I second that. When I bricked mine I had to hook it up to Mission Planner via the USB cord. It has been a while but IIRC it would only connect on Mission planner if the IM6 board was disconnected from the main board.

    Tie replacement on the railroad. It's complicated.

    Fascinating! Well done and clearly a lot of hours put into that.

    1st Real Flight with Video

    Nice job! That first first flight sinks the hook. :)

    Group Purchase of the 3.8mm lens

    I bought a refurb H4B after losing my original H4B + Peau lens into the drink (along with everything attached to it). Recalling this thread I decided to try one of the AliExpress lens mentioned earlier. Given all the factors, such as price, the time to receive from China, and the risk that one...

    If you were planning to upgrade to a new drone...

    I've a Mavic Platinum on order. Something easier to pack/travel with plus I just like the variety.

    Video stabilization

    Original is here. FWIW: Shot with Hero 4B, Protune, 2.7k, 60fps, flat, sharpness=low, EV -0.5

    Video stabilization

    I used to use Prodrenalin but picked up the Mercalli during one of their $99 sales. Prodrenalin worked very very well while Mercalli had more advanced stabilization tools (few of which I've used). This offers a comparison.

    Video stabilization

    I would love to see an example of the Adobe Premier stabilizer. It would be nice to have a single video to try all of the stabilizers against. I'm willing to post the original of this one to my Dropbox but it may not be the best of examples. Plus someone with Adobe would have to be willing to...

    Open Solo 2.5-RC2 is out

    Good point, thanks. I changed it to a .zip. 257M. Way better. ;)

    Video stabilization

    I want to thank RichWest for suggesting I re-post to this forum a comparison video I did a week or two ago. I had been very impressed with the proDAD Mercalli stabilizer a year ago when it was able to make some sense out of a complete garbage video, enough so that I bought a copy. I've been...

    Open Solo 2.5-RC2 is out

    Is it? I wonder if DropBox had not fully sync'd it when I posted the message. I just used the link to download the file to another account and it compares with the original. I see a size of 8168931328 bytes and an md5sum of "7a7b84da5a9f82f9c3f04dbb4367ba6b".

    Open Solo 2.5-RC2 is out

    I don't know if this is useful to anyone or not: I created an image of the Solo IM6 SDCard after completing the Green Cube + Here compass install. I checked it by taking the image twice, once with dd under linux and again with the HD Copy Tool under Windows then verified that they sum'd the same.

    Splash!

    Yee-Ha! As of about 20 minutes ago I'm back in the air. After the spash-down I ordered a new Green Cube, a Here compass/GPS (new to me), a refurb. H4B (still awaiting), and a rectilinear lens for the Hero 4. I again want to thank Maddog for sending me a new set of blinkies. Not only that but...
