This is probably a stupid question, but it's not the first time in my life I've asked one of those. I've suddenly found myself in the position of having a Zenmuse "drop in my lap"...one of those "deals you can't say no to".
I desperately want to put it to use...my problem is that I do not at present have a Hero 3; I have one of the original Hero's.
Is anyone aware of whether or not this combination has ANY chance of working? I'm guessing I already know the answer and am posting this question only to continue to delude myself into thinking that I can "get by" with the old camera for a little while until my finances recover enough to pick up a new one.
My initial thought was that perhaps I could rig some way of powering the camera with the battery dismounted from the camera, mount it on the airframe and wire it to the camera remotely. I suppose that may still be a possibility, but I'm not sure if that's a viable solution, much less a GOOD solution.
Any ideas, suggestions, commentary (besides pointing out the painfully obvious fact that as I said in the first sentence that is a stupid question) would be appreciated. I am a complete neophyte regarding this gimbal system, so please be gentle.
