Just swapped over to a Hero Black 4 to replace a Hero Black 3 and there is now no video from the camera. The monitor is still showing flight info from the p2 but the rest of the screen is black as if I had a lens cap on. Tried OSD on the Go Pro but that didn't help. Had the GoPro 4 set up as in Philip Bloom, with 2.7k res, medium view, 25p. Is there some incompatibility here or do I have something wrong in the set up. Go Pro 4 video looks fine but not much better than the Hero 3 black.

The 3D gimbel with the back port does not work with the 4. Only USB cable models work apparently.

See the H3-3D forum on the main page, there's info on how to mod for H4.

The only mod I have heard about is to convert those models with the back port connection to the flimsy usb connection.

Check the zenmuse usb output ribbon cable that goes to the gopro. I just had the same problem in the field after driving five hours to film and found a small rip in the ribbon. Luckily dji gives you a spare (because they know it will tear after repeated use) and replacements can be found for $4. Good luck!
