I also used the PolarPro Filters, but recently switched these which are smaller and lighter so they work better with the gimbal and Hero 4. SRP BlurFix Air ND8/CP Filter For GoPro Hero 3 Hero 4 Camera http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00N2YYKX4

After a bit of trial and error, I used two pennies to balance mine out and it now works flawlessly. I put one on the side servo as seen in other pictures, and one top center on the back of the camera (back of the cradle). I'm even able to use a light ND filter now. I'm sure the forthcoming...

Agree. I had an offline discussion going on with Rich from Apollo Airobotic, and he hit it spot on "Here's the thing about these gimbals--- it's about more than balance. It's about the PID control loop gains. Balancing the gimbal (like with a penny) makes it easier, but it also changes the...

Well I guess its good to know its not just my gimbal. Misery loves company... For now I'm just going without the lens hood and will try a few other more aerodynamic designs to see if that helps. Might also try adding weight to the back to see if that helps, although I'm perfectly balanced...

Because the Hero 4 is just a bit heavier than the Hero 3, I found that it to be a bit more finicky with being off balance. For example I was not able to use my normal lens hood with it because the prop wash was sending the gimbel into fault mode (jerking quickly down and back up again). Did...

I don't have the V1 gimbal, however I wonder if you could simply convert it to USB using the following: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1 ... e_for.html

That was me. Got the Hero 4 today and had no luck getting it to work with the mod. Interestingly, I was not able to even power up the Hero after the Phantom power was on. This makes me wonder if I would have any luck if I isolate the power leads on the cable (using the tape method), and only...

It comes with the ribbon cable with the usb connector for the GoPro so you do not need to oder anything else.

Also make sure your Gopro firmware is up to date. I've had problems in the past with this.

Picked up the Hero 4 Black today and was NOT able to get it to work with Version 2 H3-3D with mod. So guess I'm going back to ribbon cable. I have a feeling however, that the issue is in the power coming through the back connector. So I might try the tape method of blocking power leads...

This looks like a cool possibility. Carl Zeiss just announced VR One, a virtual reality headset for use with a smartphone. It's similar to the Gear VR by Samsung and Oculus, except at $100, it's cheaper. http://gizmodo.com/zeiss-vr-one-is-a-10 ... 1644769253

I have done the mod to the V2 (it's easy to do and undo) and hope to pick up the new GoPro this weekend. If I have luck finding one, I will reply back to this thread on how it works with the mod.

Hero 4 being installed on H3-3D using backplate connector. Both the Black and Silver fit perfect with no modifications required. I supposed you can you pennies or what not to balance things out better if necessary, but all around great news. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dK_Wo7p5RwM

Hey Guys! I received my order from Goodluckbuy today and came straight in and did the install. Very successful, no Dremel or modification required to the part. I also managed to hide the cable and cover the back. It took a bit of fiddling, and I did loosen the 4 screws on the backplate to...

Now that's a house! Great job on capturing its magnificence.
