I used hook & loop (velcro) and coins. To balance the hero 4 with a Polar pro ND filter I used a Quarter on the tilt motor metal end and a quarter on the back of the rectangular plate that holds the gopro as close to the gimbal arm as possible. If I was home, I would take a picture of it...

I did the same thing and left the settings alone. Flys perfect. The added weight is almost dead center. I would be interested to hear if anyone knows a reason why you would want to mess with your gains/settings etc. My hero 4 on the other hand I believe to be defective. Sending it back for a...

Interesting...I have mine set to 1080 + still photo every 5 seconds at 30fps. I have tried other settings and have yet to get video through the phantom. I think the issue is with the hero 4 and not the gimbal. My hero 3 black works like a charm.

Good info! Was your Hero4 Black freezing even when not connected to the gimbal? I just got a 4 black and it has been a total turd so far. I am up to date on all software and I still can't video back to my monitor. I can see IOSD info but no video...and then the gopro freezes when I hit record...

Go pro charges but no live video and almost always freezes if I push record or any other button for that matter.

I have a H3-3D V 1.1 and I just purchased a Hero 4 black and all I get is the OSD info on the screen. The gopro freezes constantly as well. I updated to the latest software and am using one of the best memory cards they recommend. Everything worked flawlessly with my Hero 3 Black.... Any...

Re: Issues w/ GPS, takes up to 20 mins to pick up sats (UPDA Well...I did the copper tape mod and decided not to ground the copper based on a lot of mixed reviews out there. I fired it up for the first time after 2 weeks of no power and had 8 satellites within 5 seconds!! WOW!! It has never...

I was wondering the same thing. I am guessing that GoPro wouldn't appreciate Groupon selling them below MAP price...but it's a good deal for us!

Hey everyone, I just saw this online and it is the cheapest price i've seen for a new hero 4 black (or silver). I am thinking about pulling the trigger and figured there are a few others out there waiting for a good excuse to upgrade: https://www.groupon.com/deals/gg-gopro- ... ion-camera

Sounds like your stock antenna is doing ok. What antenna did you get where the post was too short? I have the 1126 installed and the post is shorter and a little wider in diameter than stock but it does fit and will solder into place.

Re: Issues w/ GPS, takes up to 20 mins to pick up sats (UPDA Thanks! Those are good things to consider. It's too bad DJI's service isn't up to par with it's production. If I ever get a solution of some kind, I'll update this thread. Hope your weather turns around! We have had a super mild...

Re: Issues w/ GPS, takes up to 20 mins to pick up sats (UPDA Thanks Kirk, I have done the 1126 antenna upgrade. I actually ordered both part numbers because they are so cheap. This hasn't changed my situation for the better. It still takes FOREVER to get a sat lock or sometimes it just doesn't...

Re: Issues w/ GPS, takes up to 20 mins to pick up sats (UPDA Another update: I powered it on and had to wait 15 minutes for any satellites, then it locked. Powered it off and then back on again and had 9 satellites instantly. It definitely seems to be cold starting unless you are powering it...

Re: Issues w/ GPS, takes up to 20 mins to pick up sats (UPDA Yes and yes. That seems to be functioning correctly.

+1 My P2 is the latest version and it "toilet bowls" in a yaw as well. It drives me crazy! Not sure if you can get it to yaw in a perfect plane without drifting. I have heard of others getting it to operate perfectly...but there wasn't any conclusive evidence of them changing anything. I don't...
