My Blade 350 QX can't get a GPS signal with my GoPro recording half the time and when it does the flight is erratic sometimes looses GPS why?

I read somewhere that the interference was a result of the wifi being on in the camera, they say to turn it off. Another solution has been to wrap the camera in aluminum foil to help with the camera interfering with the GPS. I am not sure this will work for you, but others have said they have had success with these methods

Hi there,I wish I knew why. Mine is acting the same way. Both times I've tried to use my camera I lost radio control as well. I was so freaked out by crashing it, I never thought to check the GPS signal indicator light. I got my repair parts Friday, and it's pretty windy today, but I'll be checking this out later in the week.

The reason is the wifi of the gopro. Turn it off. Also try to upgrade the firmware to version 2.

This will not amplify the signal of a GoPro. This is meant solely for the amplification of the signal from the quad copter with the built-in camera to your First Person View (FPV) device (telephone, or tablet). If you use a GoPro camera, you need a separate FPV system with a separate transmitter.

Hi, a couple of thoughts on this. I had the same thing happen when I went to a new PC. It was USB 3.0 and the Saiteks are 2.0. I solved this by plugging a USB 2.0 expansion port in. Problem gone. I have dual Saitek Yokes, Pedals, two radios and the BIP.Also, I have seen similar behavior with a Go Flight Autopilot. I finally used cleaner on the potentiometers. Caution, this will void any warranty you have left. Hope this helps

I have no problem to get GPS signal with my Sony DSC-HX50V/B, as well as with my old Sony DSC-HX30V. I have beatiful photos taken in difficult places like Salar Yuny (Bolivia), Ushuaya (Argentina) e places in the Chilean Andes with GPS positioning and altitude.

if the antenae icon has and x in it then it may not be connected properly , check that it is plugged into the GPS port (think it is the bottom) not the rear camera port top. they do fit , It should find signal pretty quik. I had problem with the x in the icon really hard to see since sooo small, had send back to get new gps module and all was good since. It does not display the gps map while driving , only during play back on computer just to make clear

Just bought a new 855 and installed the software updates (to version 4.70) before using it. Then, about 1.5 hours into its first trip, the unit froze. I just sent a help request to Garmin, and am anxious to see what they say.

Make sure all your connections are connected correctly and be sure that your antenna is in the right location and seated in the unit. If that doesn't work check to see that your GPS card is seated correctly in the slot on the lower right hand side, in front, of the unit. If you still have problems you may have to return the unit for a replacement.

Make sure the flight controller is free of vibration, and the wires are secure because vibration can travel up them. If problem continues verify radio and receiver with a range check. Maybe back off the gains a little or place a ferrite ring on the inputs of the gyro. All fails chuck it get a Openpilot cc3d 10-15 bucks Ebay

My GoPro works fine within my FPV equipment. I too use 5.8g equipment with a Technicians' license. Please look into that before you invest. I'm not familiar with 3D-robotics. Sounds Cool.Sonny

As far as I know, no. I bought the FC-40 for my son, and he took video just fine by itself. I have the Phantom 1, with a gimbal and a GOPro Hero 3 camera. No wi-fi signal of any kind should be on, as it will interfere with the compass. Here where I live, there are too many Wi-Fi signals, and it is difficult to calibrate the copter. The lights will flash red and yellow. Be sure to wait for the sequence of the lights before you fly!

No, it does not. GPS logging is by a separate device, which I don't have. As a matter of fact, it sometimes skips recording and then starts again later. I have no idea why.

You don't need power TO the gopro... You only need video out to the xmitter. search for gopro 3 fpv cable. readymadercdotcom has them. If you have the 3 BLACK, be careful... The video has been known to cut out in mid flight. Then you crash your model. Better off getting a dedicated fpv camera from the above website.

I have a DJI phantom drone + a GoPro black edition and this FPV kit and works perfect!! i have filmed above 200 feet high with good transmition!, however, i wouldn´t recommend using the goPro wi-fi for long or high distances!

Try calling garman first and see if they will replace the one you have now. I did. I had to send old one back first, they then sent me a new one. As far as this one working with your gps, im not sure

Nope. And good luck getting updates. Mine would miss several 20 minute waypoints in a row. I was in a helicopter with this on my lower leg in a pocket against the plexiglass. Can't get much close to an in obstructed view of the sky than that. And the charge more do the service than the unit itself costs. I am still,paying on the 1 year subscriton in spite or returning the unit.

Are you saying that you know this model has been made to not work (believable) or are you saying GPS, in general, does not work in planes (which would be wrong, this I am sure of.)

There is a 1-2 second delay in the WiFi video output. This is because of the time it takes the GoPro to process the video signal into a compatible WiFi signal. When the video is accessed via the cable and connector, this processing is not required and the video is real time. I connect the GoPro from the connector directly to the FPV transmitter and everything is in real time. I set the GoPro resolution to 720p and 60 frames per second. It all works great.
