Hi!
This is my first post, I have played around with APM powered quads and planes since 2013. I Bought the Solo recently, it's my first RTF quad and I was really enjoying the smart shots and getting fairly good video after refocusing my gopro 3+ black, until:
I had a minor hard landing recently, after which I am no longer getting live view on my phone. I can still control the GP through the gimbal, but image is not shown.
I resetted and re-updated the controller and the solo, tried different start up sequences, no picture on the phone.
I started to troubleshoot an hdmi cable plugged into a TV to get to the bottom of the issue,
things get quite interesting...
1. GoPro3+ Black, Gimbal, Solo, Controller - No video on phone or from the controller hdmi out. (The booting message displayed on the corner of the TV
2. GP plugged into the tv with hdmi - Video shows normally
3. GP, Solo, Controller, Phone, (no gimbal) Video shows normally on phone and on TV
4. GP, Gimbal, video straight from the gimbal to a TV with HDMI - Video shows normally.
5. I took apart the Solo, put the foam block between the hdmi connector and the board as a precaution, didn't change anything.
My conclusion is, that the gimbal let's the video through, the solo can relay the picture, but together they refuse to work. So it feels like some sort of software bug. I did factory reset both the controller and the solo, but I didn't help at all.
I'd love to hear your thoughts of this and where to go next. I appreciate any comments or help very much.
