This kid is a good presenter. Knows his subject and gets it across. Very good and informative video on the new Hero 4. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Just a small suggestion that may of already been covered. You don't have to grind anything off the gimbal housing. Just add a small piece of tape or shim to the selector side of the gopro. It will slide the hero 4 far enough away from the gimbal housing so that you won't accidentally switch modes.
The hero 4 settings button pokes out just a bit more than previous models which causes it to sometimes be automatically pressed if mounted rightside up like you have it in the video. Another common problem with mounting it right side up is that that left leg comes into frame way too easily. I've found the best option to work around this is to simply mount the gopro upside down which puts the lens directly in the center making it almost impossible for legs to come into frame and it also keeps the security button from being pressed. The only problem is that you won't be able to plug in the little video input thing.
I was leaning towards the Inspire, not just because of the added features, but because the its' camera didn't have that gopro fish eye picture. I was told the new goopro 4 black got rid of the fish eye, but at the end of your presenation, when you turned the camera on, it appeared to have that fish eye look.
The Gopro would never get "rid" of the fish-eye because of how the lens is made. However, if you don't like the fish-eye effect, it is easily removed in Adobe After Effects.. And frankly after looking at videos of both the inspire and the gopro 4 black, I think the Gopro wins in terms of quality.
If you have an issue with the settings button, and can afford to have your gopro mounted full-time on the drone, just take a knife and pop the settings button out of the case. It will leave the raw under copper side of the button exposed, however you don't need to worry about the gimbal it hitting the button anymore.
You have a Phantom 2 with the same gimbal and I have a Hero 4 black. Yours does not need balancing, but mine does! Black must be heavier? Dime is not even enough to balance mine. This is the way Atlanta Hobby sent it to me. Although my button is partially covered, it is still accessible---not really convenient, but I'd prefer not to file away any of the gimbal. Thanks for the post. Ed
Better not to file anything away unless you need to. I am also curious to learn why some are more balanced than others. Do the go pro 4's differ or is it the gimble ?
Is that a decal on the top of the model ? I have thought about spraying the shells to make them less white ! Great informative video and wonder how mine will weigh up !
I have a FlySight FPV system on my PT2 and H3-2D gimbal. I have balanced the gimbal with the proper weight offset using a nickel and velcro to the end of the motor, but I cannot get any video on my monitor. All I get is the iOSD telemetry data. I have tried several resolutions with the same result.
Hi! I have my gopro camera on my gimbal attached to my drone. My question is is there anything I can put on my gopro to protect it from dirt/water while I fly it? (I can't use the case since the camera is attached to the gimbal)
Hi...Just accidentally bumped into your Channel and had to watch this video (and Subscribe!). I have the opposite issue. I just bought a P2 (because I can't afford the P3 or P4 yet) and it came with the H4-3D Gimbal for the Hero 4. Never flown one of these things before so I didn't want to stick a $500 camera on it and risk losing the drone and my H4 so I put my Hero 3 Black on it. Wasn't aware there might be an issue with the weight. I've flown it 4 times for a total of about 45 minutes with the H3B on it. Is that bad? The video is smooth but I haven't really thought to listen to the motor on the Gimbal when it's not airborne. The main reason I want to use the 3 is because I use the 4 for other things and wanted to just leave the 3 on the Phantom because it's such a pain in the neck to take it on and off. THANKS in advance for your reply.
Hi there sorry for asking this question about transmitter because i know your video is about Gopro hero4 but, can you please explain it to me how to install the TS832 600mw AV transmitter to the phantom like you have on this phantom because i really like the way you installed and i have the same one with Phantom 2 and Zenmuse h3-3d gimbal so when you get a chance let me know how please thanks.
Can you use an hero 3 black upside down? Or will this burn out the motors? The lens will then be more in the middle and lower down, so less of the legs and props will be shown in the video.. (I know i can choose horisontal and vertical radius in the program, but thats not the point)
I have a GoPro 4 and would like to know how to use the GoPro with a phantom. I wanted to use the system Fpv but I do not know if I should buy the mini IOSD or just need to buy a monitor fpv What you think ? Thanks =)
I currently have a hero 3 but I'm looking to upgrade to the hero 4. In this video you ran the gopro at 1080. Can you still get an fpv signal when you run the gopro at 4k? Thanks
i searched the whole internet but didn't get any solution how to mount Zenmuse H4-3D (hero 4 black) on phantom 3 pro. can you please suggest any solution. would be so helpful
Recently acquired a P2 , I have a similar screen as seen in the video above, Im a novice and this question is off topic slightly but when I got the P2 it came with a screen just like the one in the video , Fpv monitor, but I dont know if the person who gave it to me forgot to include the charging cord, but how do you normally charge a Fpv monitor ? please help!
DJI Zenmuse H3-3D is same gimbal used on Both P2 and P3 - fitting the Hero3 and Hero4 is also the same. Using other brands gimbals depends on what they were designed for - the Geocalla units also take the Hero3 & 4 cameras.
My H3-3D is off balance with my GoPro4, now I added a coin with double side mounting tape and it makes a huge noise from the gimbal motors, I put it in the air with it and it doesnt even work, it might be balanced but the gimbal keeps doing weird movements in the air like its trying to get rid of the coin, very strange, i do not recommend using the coin cause it really confuses the gimbal and burns the motors down.
Anyone know if the new go pro hero 7 Black works on these older phantoms or other drones besides the karma or 3DR solo. Thinking of combining a hero 7 Black with a cheaper drone like a phantom 2 or 3 if it works
Hi Terry .You have to start filming before you turn on the quad also to shoot pictures you have to set the camera to time lapse. Unless you have the Lightbridge that will give you control of the camera on your phone or even from your Remote Control
z bert Bad idea. In order to use the GoPro app, you have to turn on the GoPro wifi. This can interfere with signal coming from the transmitter causing a "flyaway". Do not do this.
Two Questions: 1) Isn't it better to change the settings on the GoPro using the GoPro app for iPhone or Android using WiFi? 2) People say you can't output video from GoPro, if you record in 4K, is this true?
Merko your second question is still talking about the gopro not the dji video link... the new gopro app shows the liveview from the camera in 4k....nowhere in your 1st or second question do you mention anything about the dji video link... get it? Make your questions clear and you will get the correct answer....
Phil Ondiss last time i checked, you can't get any video output through cable using the GoPro app. it's for WiFi only. I don't think ANY people uses GoPro Liveview through Gopros Wifi (or gopro app) on Multicopters.. I thought you knew that much. Sorry :)
I need some help folks! I'm getting a Phantom 2 with the H3-3D and I was told that there is no way i could control the movement of the gimbal through the controller, is it true? or maybe i need to get something to control the gimbal? please give me some advice about that since i saw this guy controlling his gimbal with the futaba controller, thanks in advance!
You can control the gimbal but only up and down, no side to side control. There is a small lever on the back of the standard DJI Controller that comes with the phantom that lets you control this.
TheDrumchef With the newer version the rear lever is now a wheel on the upper corner of the Tx. it auto centers and I am hoping that you use it like a jog wheel so that the cam doesnt move back to centre when you release the spring loaded wheel back to centre. You kind of want to hold a position.

Can I put a GoPro gimbal on a phantom 3 standard?
Could just go in to the camera menu and change it from Wide, to Medium or Narrow views.
If you have an issue with the settings button, and can afford to have your gopro mounted full-time on the drone, just take a knife and pop the settings button out of the case. It will leave the raw under copper side of the button exposed, however you don't need to worry about the gimbal it hitting the button anymore.

Do you have video how to prepare inside phantom the gamble recovers and other equipment please
Hi! I have my gopro camera on my gimbal attached to my drone. My question is is there anything I can put on my gopro to protect it from dirt/water while I fly it? (I can't use the case since the camera is attached to the gimbal)
At 7:55 you tilt the camera with the gimbal can you do that on the standard phantom 2 controller?

excellent vids keep it up. just began my videos again getting some motivation.
what about hero 5?
Sorry, I just saw your site.
You have a basic model for sale ? Phantom 2 + v2 + FPV Gimbal goprohero 4 to black?
Can I see a feed from the go pro camera to my phone on the Phantom 2 without buying extra stuff? I really want to see where my drone flies.
Whenever I put my camera in the gimbal. It goes much slower. How are this guy's hands sooooo fast? Great vid.
Hi! Is there a tutorial on how to install the FPV Amp Pro kit to the phantom 2 with H3-3D gimbal??
hey really nice video.
is it possible with a go pro 8, too??
What about if I have a GoPro Hero 4 Session?
What about H2#D without the external video connector? where do I get that upgrade?
Can you use an hero 3 black upside down? Or will this burn out the motors?
The lens will then be more in the middle and lower down, so less of the legs and props will be shown in the video..
(I know i can choose horisontal and vertical radius in the program, but thats not the point)
How do you use a spektrum transmitter like the dx6 with the phantom 2?
What video mode on the go Pro are you in and what type of FPV downlink video is that? Standard definition?
Hi what is the part called that connects gimbal to the camera called
I have a GoPro 4 and would like to know how to use the GoPro with a phantom.
I wanted to use the system Fpv but I do not know if I should buy the mini IOSD or just need to buy a monitor fpv
What you think ?
Thanks =)
where can i get the gimbal and monitor set up like this?
I currently have a hero 3 but I'm looking to upgrade to the hero 4. In this video you ran the gopro at 1080. Can you still get an fpv signal when you run the gopro at 4k? Thanks
i get fpv signal fine when i record in 4k with my gopro4... however u dont see 4k on the screen obviously :)
i searched the whole internet but didn't get any solution how to mount Zenmuse H4-3D (hero 4 black) on phantom 3 pro.
can you please suggest any solution.
would be so helpful
Recently acquired a P2 , I have a similar screen as seen in the video above, Im a novice and this question is off topic slightly but when I got the P2 it came with a screen just like the one in the video , Fpv monitor, but I dont know if the person who gave it to me forgot to include the charging cord, but how do you normally charge a Fpv monitor ? please help!
What about Optical Estabilization? Improved in Jello?
Does it come with that live view screen or do you have to buy it separately?
+Daniel Ramones This I'm also very curious to know...
hi .. is it possible to fit a gopro 4 to a phantom 3 standard using the H3-3D or any other gimbal..
This I'm also very curious to know!!!!!!!
DJI Zenmuse H3-3D is same gimbal used on Both P2 and P3 - fitting the Hero3 and Hero4 is also the same.
Using other brands gimbals depends on what they were designed for - the Geocalla units also take the Hero3 & 4 cameras.
Do you fix drones I crashed my Dji 3 and the camera came off I purchased a new tape from Amazon but would like for a professional to replace it
link is not opened and you wanna say to me about fpv system.
My H3-3D is off balance with my GoPro4, now I added a coin with double side mounting tape and it makes a huge noise from the gimbal motors, I put it in the air with it and it doesnt even work, it might be balanced but the gimbal keeps doing weird movements in the air like its trying to get rid of the coin, very strange, i do not recommend using the coin cause it really confuses the gimbal and burns the motors down.
When recording in 4k does the analog output display on your fpv monitor?
Anyone know if the new go pro hero 7 Black works on these older phantoms or other drones besides the karma or 3DR solo.
Thinking of combining a hero 7 Black with a cheaper drone like a phantom 2 or 3 if it works
What controller is that??
Tem como fazer com outra camera a instalação? Eu tenho uma Eken H9
is it the same gimbal mount as a gimbal mount for a hero 3?
How do you start filming with the Phantom 2, Gopro 4? Is there a button on the standard Phantoms that activates the gopro??
Thanks
Hi Terry .You have to start filming before you turn on the quad also to shoot pictures you have to set the camera to time lapse. Unless you have the Lightbridge that will give you control of the camera on your phone or even from your Remote Control
Thanks, have upgraded to the inspire 1. So all good
You can get the Gopro app,and activate the go pro
z bert Bad idea. In order to use the GoPro app, you have to turn on the GoPro wifi. This can interfere with signal coming from the transmitter causing a "flyaway". Do not do this.
Well then press the button before it flies, make it fly and cut out the part of you pressing the button...
Can this gimbal be installed on the P3 standard?
Hello Friend
Does it work with gopro 4 silver?
Two Questions:
1) Isn't it better to change the settings on the GoPro using the GoPro app for iPhone or Android using WiFi?
2) People say you can't output video from GoPro, if you record in 4K, is this true?
you can see the live view in 4k with the new app....
Phil Ondiss
Since when did DJI Videolink or similar transmitters use an app?
Merko your second question is still talking about the gopro not the dji video link... the new gopro app shows the liveview from the camera in 4k....nowhere in your 1st or second question do you mention anything about the dji video link... get it?
Make your questions clear and you will get the correct answer....

on your point 2 - I also read the same online but got very little corroboration on that rumour.
How is ur gimbal weight different isn't as bad that says a lot about dji products not cool they should all be the same
does this still work in 2018?
I need some help folks! I'm getting a Phantom 2 with the H3-3D and I was told that there is no way i could control the movement of the gimbal through the controller, is it true? or maybe i need to get something to control the gimbal? please give me some advice about that since i saw this guy controlling his gimbal with the futaba controller, thanks in advance!

Am i the only one who noticed that the Gimbal did not power up the Gopro 4 like it will normally do it with a Gopro 3?
Need support in Portuguese or Spanish!? I am braziliam
why not share the actual footage it shoots? :( watched for nothing as i don't know if it works
had no idea how high i was till i watched this lulululul
Fullshiet!!! Y`nt turn on 4K mode on camera!
Actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually...are you adding that word randomly to everything? Jesus...
Would it be possible to mount a GoPro 8 black to this drone ?
Can this be done on the phantom three standard?
will the DJI pilot app (phone FPV) still contect to the gopro ???
