    Sidepilot Version 4.0 Solo not connecting

    Very similar problem and symptoms... wish there was some help. 3DR worked fine for years until new iPhone and SidePilot stoped displaying GoPro video feed. Like so many others I tried evolving into OpenSolo/SidePilot 4.0 and now im bricked!

    Smooth Real Estate + What do you think?

    Thx Moto! You can do it. The trick here is fly it very slow (walking pace) and controlled. Then in post-- just speed it up (-400%) and put it in reverse. Just make sure there are no cars or people in view that would make it evident that you reversed the footage. My inspiration for this shoot...

    Smooth Real Estate + What do you think?

    Hello!@ My goal here was to get a reveal style shoot with as little touches of the joystick. I had to bump the horizontal and vertical stick a few time to just barely get over and around trees. Ive been using some optical smoothing tools in Final Cut to smooth out the frame jitters. Most of...

    Solo on a plane to Jamaica???

    LAX to Jamaica (Next week) and I have gotten all kinds of mixed messages from each airline (Copa and Spirit) website doesn't specifically list drone as "no" but it doesn't list it at "yes" either. Pretty much same thing when I call each airline. Phone reps pretty much just say no drones i...

    Structure Fire-- Everybody safe!

    I agree that the home owner was acting peculiar. Some might say an insrance fraudster but on a walk through the day after--- I saw to many obvious combustibles and accelerants stacked around the house that will kill this guy’s chances of making it look like negligence to cash in a big claim...

    Structure Fire-- Everybody safe!

    I didn't want to be one of those ambulance chasers that fly into the fire just to get the shot. Or the kid that interferes in any way with the extinguishment efforts.... So i unbuckled my GoPro Silver from my Solo and popped it on my forehead to look for victims. Password: 372FD Clear...

    First flight/edit using free Alex4D Wide Angle Fix!

    Thx Eagle! I can't say enough about this Final Cut Pro plug in from Alex 4D and ITS FREE! A great way to keep all my shooting as wide as possible while straitening the horizon on the occasions where it obviously looks distorted. I guess GoPro Sudio is no longer avalable or supported through...

    First flight/edit using free Alex4D Wide Angle Fix!

    I appreciate that. Three flights one battery. 1. First flight from beach. Three takes to time the gimbal to tilt from the ocean to the propoerty as I flew towards it from the sea. I knew this establishing shot would be the most important. 2 Second flight same battery from an access ally...

    First flight/edit using free Alex4D Wide Angle Fix!

    GoPro wide angle is popular for good reason. Its wide view is beautiful and has its benefits but has curved horizons. I don’t want to pay 100 bucks for a Peau Prod lens just to eliminate all fish eye because most of my shots don’t have a horizons to keep the shot honest and I want as wide a shot...

    New Alphas- Range test 4K-- AMAZED!

    Yes, I was confused as well. I didnt know if you were complimenting my piloting or the scenerty. I can only take credit for the piloting. Ill leave it at that since i think i remember reading something about no politics or religion in this forum. :(

    New Alphas- Range test 4K-- AMAZED!

    :( The free GoPro Studio app has been discontinued. I have heard that while it straitens curved horizons it zooms/clips less of your footage that other plug in/apps. Anybody know any third parties that offer this particular GoPro Studio app?

    New Alphas- Range test 4K-- AMAZED!

    :) I love that Go pro added this "Linear FOV" feature in their firm ware update. I however still prefer filming at the traditional wide view that everyone loves about GoPro 85% of the time... but for those moments when a curve horizon is obvious--- to correct it in post prod editing. I did no...

    New Alphas- Range test 4K-- AMAZED!

    I deeply appreciate the compliment but cant take credit for creation or the creator. Thats a much much higher pay grade. Whats so strange is this was taken recently in a drought ridden California. We just had a lil ran last month and everything is green and ready to burn again this summer :(
