    Access to GoPro USB port when hooked up to Solo gimbal?

    Not a rude question, I'd ask it myself. I want to use a device (Tentacle Sync) that records time sync data to an audio track. I will use that to sync the GoPro footage to an audio recording made on the ground (Zoom 2n) that also has a sync signal on an audio track. Application - football...

    Access to GoPro USB port when hooked up to Solo gimbal?

    Hooking up the Solo gimbal's HDMI covers up the GoPro's USB port. I would like to use the USB port to attach an external microphone. Has anyone done this? Thanks.

    Time code for GoPro 4 Black / Solo?

    I record marching band rehearsals. Some times I use my Solo to get a high vantage point that closely matches elevation and angle of some of the press boxes at their performance venues. Each time I have to manually synch the footage with a digital audio recording I make inside the stadium at the...

    Gopro/Solo - can I use an external microphone?

    The issue that I anticipate is with the delay of sound from ground level in a stadium to above and behind the seating. What I've had to do so far is memorize when an obvious drill move synchs with a big audio cue. Good think I only tape a few bands.

    Gopro/Solo - can I use an external microphone?

    I'm going to try that but think what I'll run into is the time delay from the ground to about 70 feet up and 40 feet away. I think I'm just have to get really good at synching by hand. Thank you.

    Gopro/Solo - can I use an external microphone?

    I want to record marching band performances. I am already using digital audio recorders (Zoom, Tascam). I have software that will automatically sync the audio to video IF there's enough signal to match the waveforms. Right now there just isn't enough. I have been synching by hand using an NLE...

    3+ Black - Trouble with video settings

    I got a used Hero 3+ Black camera to use with my Solo. The only problem I am having with it is making changes to the video settings and having them stay set. It seems like after I make changes to video settings, I have to go to the still settings and save there to get my video settings to...

    Gopro/Solo - can I use an external microphone?

    I have a Gopro 3+ Black and a new Solo. I use software called Pluralize to sync footage with audio from a dedicated recorder. The audio track from the camera mounted to the Solo completely washes out the ambient sound. This means that I have to sync the audio by hand. Can I use an external mic...
