gimbal

Hi everyone. I thought that GoPro was the only camera that fitted the gimbal. But I found some news from last year that cameras that fit the hardcase for GoPro will fit, also that if you have the time it's possible to develop a own gimbal and make it work for the platform. I will test a...

I'm really wanting to get the backpack since it's only $35, but I wanted feedback on whether Solo will fit with Polar Pro leg extensions and the gimbal installed. I appreciate all answers

The video link above shows how my gimbal has a sticking spot thats about 3 degrees down from straight out and it seems to keep the camera from tilting up too high. Is this normal? Of course I can appreciate the fact that the camera doesn't look up too high but something seems odd about it.

Hi, I am quite new here, so please, don't judge me. Ok, my problems with a drone. Everything work perfect, exept: 1: I installed gimbal, when I tried to shake drone in hand it was working fine. But when I made first flight, gimbal stopped working. Camera falls on one side and doesn't want to...

When using selecting orbit and GP4 camera is pointed straight down then the gimbal will go limp, but if camera GP4 lens is facing forward then select Orbit then the gimbal does not go limp. Has anybody else experienced this glitch?

Hi guys. Thanks for reading. I crashed my first Solo and it has been replaced, and now I have an idea: I want to transplant my Solo mainboard into a much larger drone. I have a bird that is based on a modified Tarot 650 frame with huge motors/props and a large gimbal that is way less...

Hello, I purchased the Solo drone with a gimabl during Black Friday and went out for my first flight today. The drone flies great, the gimbal keeps my GoPro steady, except the GoPro won't stay on for more than 5 seconds. I have a GoPro Hero 3+ Silver (which now reading seems to have issues with...

I saw a thread with a similar title, but this issue was not addressed. I just bought a used gimbal as a spare. It looks to be in good shape. Does anyone have suggestions for doing some basic bench testing? I'd rather not uninstall a gimbal and install this one just for testing.

Ok, my first Solo is out of the warrantee period, so it's time to operate. First procedure is to improve the gimbal isolation. Who ever spec'd the HDMI cable and hard, inflexable gimbal wires to attach to the isolated side of the gimbal should be fired! I need to find some small silicon...

Looking for a gimbal block, original foam that came with solo.

Hello 3DR Pilots! My first video post on the forum is this compilation of clips from my first ten flights with Solo. Comments are of course welcome and I hope you all enjoy. Some nice fall scenery here in Toronto.

Hey Solo forum, I am planning to buy the Solo during black friday in bestbuy, its $350 with gimbal, extra battery, and extra propeller, which I think is a pretty good deal. But the only action camera that I have is the Xiaomi Yi and from what I read people is using the Feiyu gimbal to hold...

hello, i bought the solo gimbal, and i want to use it with my gopro, connected to my computer for making video of my landscape outside the apartment. I saw i cam communicate with the gimbal with mavlink. I connected the gimbal to Uart ( usb to serial) to my usb port on my linux computer. I...

Now we know that the stock Solo app is actually pretty darn good. It has everything you need and it is easy to use. But I thought I would delve a little deeper and use the way points offered in Tower. I noticed that the control is very nice, however you lose the function the solo app provides...

Does anyone know where I can find the source code for the 3DR Controller? I'm trying to access the section of code specifically for the Gimbal movement but cannot find the code on 3DR's github under solodevguide. Thanks!

Does anyone know the part # for the single row 8 pin mustard/gold coloured connector on the Solo mainboard for the gimbal data cable? 3DR list the Molex 503149-0800 for the gimbal board, but photos seem to show the early Solo's data cable was directly soldered (I assume that's why the change...

I have several of these. Got them directly from 3D Robotics. I have them listed on ebay. I'm in the Dallas area if you wish to pick up. PM me for phone number if you wish to talk. $499 + $30 shipping if you buy here or $569 on ebay to cover the fees. Selling pretty cheap but am open to a...

Friends, The micro HDMI port on the Solo Gimbal port got detached off the circuitry. As a result, I'm unable to get a live preview of the GoPro. The local mobile repair technicians don't want to touch - they say its specialised micro circuits that can't be fixed with regular solder. Please...

Hello everybody! I am quite new to this forum so excuse me if I am replicating another thread. I am using my Solo, along with its gimbal and a PeauPro60 to take photos each 0,5 seconds (or less, I use the distance trigger command from MP). The camera is configured in single photo mode, and...

First post on here! When I received my brand new Solo, I was excited. With no experience, I spent hours on the simulator until I felt comfortable. I read through this forum's FAQ and pre-flight check (well done btw) then began my first flight. It was super easy, albeit nervous. I did a couple of...
