If you were planning to upgrade to a new drone...

I use 2.7K at 60FPS on a regular basis without problems. 4K 30 FPS works also. I just prefer 60Fps.

My experience as well with my work Solos.

I'll have to try it when my GoPro gets here,because I would like to use at least the 2.7k if I can ,and yes the 60fps for sure.

And firmware 5.0 also on the Gopro

Same. Perhaps that is key here?

 

[David Boulanger]

I Don't know. Some don't like 5.0 because the Solo App can't fully control it. If i'm taking video I set the camera setting ahead of time and use a filter. Still photo's are set up totally different. I never want to switch back and forth in flight. The only thing that matters to me is that I can trigger the camera for stills or turn video recording on and off in flight. I doubt it's the Gopro firmware though. 5.0 is great for the control over video settings on the camera.

Hmm...I'll check what version I have when I get home from work. Hopefully that's the culprit. I have to set everything before Solo takes off, in flight camera controls are only a dream for me so far. Would be nice to have some camera control while it's up in the air..

 

[David Boulanger]

I think you will still have some basic adjustment with the Solo App. Its just 5.0 has a lot of extra settings that aren't available to access with the App.

I use 2.7K at 60FPS on a regular basis without problems. 4K 30 FPS works also. I just prefer 60Fps.

Same setting I use with my Hero 4 Black running firmware 3. Works fine with me and my Solo is stock. No changes yet.

Hopefully one of the veteran Solo users can shed some light on this but I'm just telling you my experience with the resolutions. Maybe there's some users that are able to use higher settings with successful fpv...not sure.

I have a GoPro 4 black that records 1k, 2.7k, and 4k ok on the Solo gimbal and displays ok on my Gopro attached screen, but anything above 1k/60fps has problems displaying on my old computer or tablet. I can process the videos down to 1k on the GoPro app and view them ok. Fast processors and video cards are needed for higher video rates.
