Anyone ever try to put the Solo guts in a Mavic shell? I'd love to have a foldable Solo to make it more transportable.
 
Right now, I´m putting the all the Solo-electronics into a foldable frame. - With alternative motors and bigger props (estimated flighttime about 25min)

I´m not far from finishing this projekt. When the frame is put together, I´ll upload a photo.
 
This is how it looks like right now:

Thank you! :)

When I´m ready and if it´s working like expected, I´ll post some more details.

I like the way you can fly the solo with the smartshots. In my opinion it´s still better than the competitors.
Great to see it lives on thanks to opensolo.

My goals are:

* much better flight-time (with orig. batteries / tarot martin 4008 motors with 17" props)
* foldable and much more portable (Daya 680 Frame)
* get the most out of the Gopro Hero 4 Black (the Hero 4 still has a great picture quality - I tried several lenses for the gopro, now I found the perfect one -> a 3.8mm lense with great edge to edge sharpness - removed the pink corners with peau lense profile)
 
This is an awesome project your working on. I can't wait for the result.

Can you post a link to the lens you bought for your GoPro? Thanks...
 
This is the lens/shop:
4K LENS 3.8mm f/2.8 82d HFOV 16MP (No Distortion)

I tried several lenses (the 5.4mm and many other with good rating) but this is the only one I´m happy with.
The most lenses only had a good sharpness in the center, awfull sharpness on the edges.

I also like the focal lenght, 3.8mm is pretty good.
 
Does it remove the "fish eye" distortion of the stock lens? Can you post a sample video?

Yes, it has barely any distorsion/fisheye. I will post a photo or a video in comparison with the stock lens.

I´m not at home right now, I´ll post it on Friday or Saturday
 
Here are the sample files:
gopro-lenses

These files are right out of the camera with default settings (gopro colors) no protune. (I totally forgot how over-sharpened the default settings are...)
Video 4k / 30fps
Pictures 12MP / 4to3
