    GoPro issues

    Take the battery out and reinsert. Try again. Take SD card out, and try again. Is it doing the same thing out of the gimbal as it is in the gimbal? Try different things to start narrowing down the source of the problem.

    Music source?

    freeplaymusic.com is a source I've used before, they've been around decades. bensound.com is one I found more recently and have used. Both are royalty free sources (for personal use). triplescoopmusic.com is a great source for commercial use as their prices are pretty reasonable to buy the...

    Solo Night Flight Video

    In terms of camera settings for dusk flight, slowest shutter speed is best, so 24fps preferably. Use ProTune, make sure sharpening is set to off, and limit your ISO to 400 max as anything higher on a GoPro really does become unusable, unless it's just for your own personal fun. Noise-reduction...

    Another One Bites the dust???...Yuneec

    Well considering 3DR is out of the consumer drone market I assume they are moving away from gopros cuz they aren't the best for the industrial uses they're going for. Whatever connection there is now is all there will ever be for the Solo.

    Who else gives themselves a heart attack while flying?

    So I've only had the Solo about a month and a half, and gotten more and more comfortable flying. Not really pushing any limits yet, but every time I take it out I've got the feeling in the back of my mind of the Solo dropping out of the sky, or a tree suddenly appearing out of nowhere for the...

    Sometimes Asking Doesn't Help

    Careful with the forgiveness part, especially in nature preserve areas. I"m a professional photographer, and had been using a nature preserve for several years for family photos, etc with never a problem. But finally, while doing an engagement session and having the couple sitting in the dead...

    Nature Preserve, Antelope Island, Utah

    Thanks! Yah that nature preserve is about a mile from our house, I'm sure in a month it will be more green and teeming with life, but it's still a really cool place to fly!

    Nature Preserve, Antelope Island, Utah

    New footage I did from a vast Nature Preserve in Northern Utah, as well as Antelope Island, in the Great Salt Lake. Def play in highest resolution you can, and full screen!

    Another One Bites the dust???...Yuneec

    I never said they weren't slipping, but they are to action cameras what DJI is to drones right now, by far the biggest player and biggest name. The other companies, even big ones like Sony, can't really compete with the name recognition that GoPro has for action cameras. But in the same manner...

    Another One Bites the dust???...Yuneec

    Like Action Cameras, the Drone market is smaller than these companies think it is. After GoPro's success, how many other companies like Polaroid and Sony were trying their hand at action cameras, only to fall by the wayside because it wasn't their core business and they were late to the party...

    Gopro/Solo - can I use an external microphone?

    Why would you have delay, unless you're trying to do this live? The footage in the GoPro will be recorded along with your audio in real time. As long as you set your audio "marker" on the ground before you launch Solo, and you continuously record on GoPro and your external audio source, there...

    New Gopro Software - is it me or does it just not cut it anymore

    Quik and the old GoPro Studio are both installed, I believe, when you download the software. I think Quik is meant more for quick edits and cataloging/organizing your files. Then you can drop them into GoPro Studio for further edits. You don't need Quik necessarily. Look in your Start menu...

    New flyer from Salt Lake City

    Yep, first time I've owned a drone of any kind. This was probably my fourth flight overall. Still getting the hang of it!

    Gopro/Solo - can I use an external microphone?

    Wamba, I've used Pluraleyez in the past, amazing software. But I agree, there's no way you're going to be able to record any usable audio while in the air. My suggestion is start your GoPro recording before you start the propellers and your second recording device, record some audio that you...
