Has this happened to anyone before? I had the settings set to auto start GoPro when the Solo motors are started. It doesn't do that anymore. What's wrong or anything I need to check?
Now I have to manually push the power button on the Gopro while the Solo is hovering at eye level. That's the only way I could turn it on now. Its kinda awkward and scary!

Firmware for the Gopro?did you upgrade the firmware? Auto on is v3.
Seriously? I'm running FW 5.0 and all I do is power on the gopro while the drone is sitting on the ground (motors not spinning of course) and then start recording via the solex app before take off. Why on earth would you wait until the drone is hovering in the air before turning on your gopro?Now I have to manually push the power button on the Gopro while the Solo is hovering at eye level.

Well you got the good guidance to move your GP back to 3.0 to restore auto on/off. In Green Cube operation even 3.0 will not auto-off the camera.Has this happened to anyone before?

As to the linear FOV added to 5.0 all well and good until you say switch out of video to take a photo or make other changes to settings in flight. Linear FOV disappears. Using the Medium FOV is almost as good and what fisheye results is easily posted out.
If you search this topic you will quickly learn the conventional wisdom is 3.0 is the FW of choice for use with the Solo.
Sal I wasn't the one who said they power on the GP in hover. I have no clue why anyone would think to do that. It's completely unnecessary. If the GP doesn't cycle on with the Solo boot up I simply turn it on before I arm to fly. Same goes for shut down after flight. After landing and Solo power down if the GP is still on I shut it off.Question. Have you checked in the Solo app on controller if the “Advanced “ box is selected? If it is deselect it. And one other thing.. you say you have to turn on GoPro while it’s in a hover? Is that correct? If true your going to get very badly injuries doing that very very badly. Try this to turn on The GP.... boot up the controller , then before you boot Solo turn in GP. Solo will boot up fine and the GP will most likely work just fine from the controllers screen controls, even start and stop when you hit the arm button on the controller. This works fine on my unit.
