From what I can tell, is the angle of the cam is going to be adjustable on the ground, but fixed in flight. There are two cameras. And it looks like the lenses are adjustable as well. Since there is no gimbal, I can about imagine that the video will be something sickening to watch. Probably...

I have a couple companies that I test, evaluate and review products for (who doesn't right?) But they send me plenty of GoPro and Xbox accessories. This week I am getting one of these Chinese knock offs to test and review...

There are tons of Chinese knock offs that "look" identical to the mavic. I held and inspected one, it was amazing to look at. That's where the similarities ended. If you want a $60 toy to fly around cool. You do have to spend more to get the camera of choice. Although 4K only doubled the...

I do believe your own hope is to back rev the firmware. It's your only real option without swapping out the camera. I was lucky to get my hands on a 4 Black when the 5 came out for a great deal. Worst case, you may need to get your hands on a 4 black. They fit in the gimbal fine with a...

Thanks for the tip. I have been using Windows machines with Movie maker or Cyberlink PowerDirector. My wife bought me an IPad Pro 12" and I love the power. Editing Video was ultra fast and the quality was amazing. But I was not getting the hang of iMovie and tried other apps. I will give...

Amazing skills for sure. And I was looking for the creative edits, that would have made it possible. But there is no other way he could have gotten those shots! WOW. When you see the drone league racers FPV footage, you know there are guys out there with those skills, but this is above and...

No issues with Hero 4 Black. This was a Hero 3 issue only. My 3+Black took a crap, so I moved to a 4 Black and all is good. I do have a pending firmware update, but that only came up this summer. I doubt it's an issue. Good luck,

Quick update on these. Sam's club seems to be the official clearing house for new GoPro cams for the holidays. Hero 4 Black bundle with two batteries, double charger, floaty back door, floaty stick and Sandisk extreme memory card is now $349 Hero 4 Silver bundle with two batteries, double...

The unit works with GP4 and GP5, so a person could use their existing camera. The new GP5 Black has been introduced at a price $100 less than GP 4 Black was released. GP5 Black is $399. That being said, GP is discounting the GP5 Black and GP5 Session another $100 when purchased with the...

Note that he was not able to take off a couple times at first. It may have been locked down and the GP rep had to unlock it for the tests. Who knows. I would doubt they had built in any no fly zones into their technology yet.

I loved that video. He has no respect for the equipment or worry about destroying anything. Note the phantom he knocks off the table and just moves on. Quick edit, "did that just happen" who cares, I have a Karma on my table. I like the whole idea, especially coming from someone that would...

They did it, and the price point is an amazing deal from what I can tell. $799 for Karma, FPV controller, handle, backpack or $999 with Hero 5 Session or $1099 with Hero 5 Black. WOW. I just bought a Hero4 Black this last week for $379 at Sams and thought that was a great deal. Thinking 5...

I also noticed that the pre hero 5 release sales are happening on the Hero 4 series. GoPro Hero 4 Black at Sams club is not $379 with handle, spare battery and external charger. I think that is a great buy! It cannot be topped anywhere else from what I can find, not even refurbished.

Ok, so after using this thing for a while now, I have mixed feelings about it. Spec for spec, it should be as good as my GoPro Hero3+ Black. I had to shut image stabilization off as it was causing some noise in the video. I may turn it back on and try again. The sensor may be capturing the...

On my phantom, I am using a Zenmuse Gimbal and GoPro. So I just use the GoPro App on my phone over WiFi and I have full control of what is going on as well as a viewfinder. It's one of those things you would never use if you were flying the Phantom as the WiFi would cause crazy things to...
