    Solo and FLIR Vue Pro R Gimbal

    Has anyone tried to convert the Hero standard gimbal to fit the FLIR Vue Pro R with its HDMI and Power adapter? I saw the one on OEM Camera, but at 1900.00 it is a little pricey for a volunteer fire department in the wilds of North Idaho. Helps to spot fires when you are in a tunnel of 150...

    Stripped Gimbal Screws?

    I received my Solo and Gimbal last week and finally had a moment to unbox and install the gimbal. Removing the static GoPro mount, I found 2 / 3 screws were incredibly difficult to remove. I was afraid of breaking off the threaded insert from the body. 45 mins later, I was able to work the...

    Hi from the UK

    Just joined the Forum as most of the info I dig up on the interweb relating the Solo, gimbal and GoPro tends to be from the US where they seem to have some killer Solo upgrades and mods. Are there many other UK peeps here? I'd be really appreciative if any UK peeps can point me in the direction...

(Well, filters maybe, but counterbalancing gimbal solutions seems...

    Hi all. I have a new Solo with gimbal. My camera is a Hero 4 Black. When I first flew the Solo last week I had no problem with the video feed but I could not control the camera remotely, and the camera had locked up when I went to disconnect it. A firmware update of the GoPro fixed that...

    Gimbal wire proper routing

    Can someone help me find the link to the instructions to the proper way the gimbal wiring should be routed? I started getting a limp/sagging gimbal after the 2.4 update and it's never been this bad of an issue for me. I figure the best place to start trouble-shooting is to make sure it's...

    Gimbal problems with update 2.4.0

    Pending a response from 3DR I'll reserve my documented disgust with this drone. Latest problem is loss of gimbal control and subsequent Hero Black overheat/shutdown. GoPro rep says the external power source (from Solo via gimbal) should be 5VN1A. Not sure if the most recent update is at fault...

    Your favorite handheld GoPro Gimbal under $250

    For those of you who "take GoPro where the drone don't go" what do you prefer to use for handheld gimbals or steady/glide cams? My experience is the device is too light for most, not all, glide/steady cams. Motorized gimbals seem to give better results. What do you like to use?

    I received a refurbished Solo after my first one crashed and it was deemed software error by 3DR. I used to download dataflash logs with Mission Planner with my first Solo, but the one I got now displays a strange behavior (see video, only 17 seconds long) when connected to Mission Planner.
