I stumbled across this video if you are still working on the issue... https://vimeo.com/97723913

See if you have something mapped to the HDMI enable function of the gimbal. For some unknown reason DJI gives you the option to shut off the video feed and there could be a switch, knob, etc. that found its way to the off position. I inadvertently had such a switch mapped, and had something...

"I cannot afford to give DJI my gimbal for 4 months (to be fixed)!!!!" Just do like I did with my GH3 gimbal.. buy three of them and return the two that will be dead out of the box.

You mean like this guy? http://youtu.be/_X_ENU8d-rA Somewhere else I ran across a procedure for loosening the set screws and re-balancing the whole thing. Not DJI approved of course but your alternative is to send it back and wait four weeks for another one I guess, which will probably also...

Sounds good. Can't wait to hear. Just curious, did you have any involvement with your local FSDO on any of this?

Steve what is the status of the MPAA exemption request? Last I heard the NPRM was in the comment period but nothing since. I see you've registered these.. very cool.

Great thanks.

Thanks for the tip on the Gentles.. was not aware of them.

I would like to revisit the extreme dangers of turkey buzzards. I witnessed two guys flying this thing in to Kissimmee I think it was, years ago after hitting one. Doesn't have the sex appeal of a 'drone' near miss though.

It circulated a while ago in the industry but wasn't much of a news story. Stick a hundred odd people in a swamp in Florida and you'll make the A section. I hope it wasn't the guy who's bio is on that site. If it was they should pull his ticket permanently.

Still I'm keen to see it done with the 4. So.. you're running in M mode on the dial, and Auto ISO is available? What about remote start/stop? Does it take a still or start video.. or is that a menu option as well? Thx.

Exactly.. and the problem is whatever (mis)information is spread at these get togethers too easily gets written into any future regs. Just look at that NPRM on FPV.

Pretty scary stuff. The last time I traveled I shipped all my lipos by ground and hand carried one pair. Went through screening multiple times, including spending 30 minutes with one TSA agent who inspected my octo in the baggage area. NONE of them had a clue about lipo regulations.

I can't figure out how the FAA will have the manpower to administer anything UAV related. It's impossible enough now to deal with some of these FSDO's on full size aircraft issues. I wait days, weeks sometimes for return phone calls or emails on matters involving their normal duties.

Well as I said i'm not an expert with the GH3, but I did spend hours pouring through camera forums and this was maybe the number one complaint. I'll revisit.

For any of you in the Denver area, the FSDO is hosting a seminar for pilots on "what UAV's are and what they do". Interesting that they are holding this since they (FAA) seem to barely know themselves.. at least from our perspective. Here's the link...

I have a .9 (3 stop) that I use most of the time, and a 1.8 (6 stop) occasionally. A variable ND sounds good, but I don't have any experience with them and have read that they can cause issues. I leave the ISO at 200 but someone told me that the GH4 looks better at 400. Have not verified that...

I run a B+W ND, which weighs 19g. With my GH3 I am able to slide the camera aft in the mount enough (it doesn't go very much) to balance it. The GH4 seems more nose heavy and with that filter it hangs slightly nose low but it doesn't seem to bother it. There are others that have posted how to...

GH3 gimbal will not handle 1080p which is what the GH4 outputs, regardless of cable swap. I'm running a GH4 on my GH3 gimbal with a lightweight hdmi ribbon cable running to an HDMI to composite converter, then up to the iOSD. I'm able to get a couple of turns on the gimbal. Keeping my fingers...

Yes. My GH3 gimbal does that. I can't figure out why it has to bang into the camera in the first place.
