p fandango said:& with GoPro taking a step into the drone market, do you think they will do a firmware update to get there camera's to work with the competition? Not a chanceSteveMann said:A GoPro product manager confirmed to a writer on Pro Video Coalition that the Video Out signal on the bus port on the back of the HERO4 WILL NOT provide a video-out signal for the Zenmuse H3-2D gimbal, nor the early released v1 of the H3-3D gimbals. You must use an FPV connector to the USB port on the side of the GoPro to get an FPV signal out. At this time, there is no word of a firmware update from GoPro to resolve this.
the thing that annoys me (& i don't know why, as i haven't even got a Hero4 yet) is that they really can't of done much to stop it working. If you can use any GoPro LCD bacpac & get a picture using the rear port what have they done to stop a gimbal getting a picture. I really don''t believe that 2 years ago when they started making the bacpacs (which apparently work with Hero4's) that they put an extra "coding" or "ID" circuit in so the camera would restrict video to things it knew were genuine GoPro accessories
and yet DJI do it with batteries??
