can you operate the GoPro Camera Hero 123 from the ground, making adjustments on the camera while flying?

You can view footage being taken from gopro during flight via cell phone with gopro app, as long as you keep phantom in range of your phone. Phantom will easily fly out of the wireless range of the gopro cell phone app.

No it flys on 2.4 same as wifi from the gopro . You want to look for a 5.8 if you want to control the gopro . FC 40 , vision fly on 5.8 . This IMO is a better quad because if flys on 2.4 much stronger signal just add fpv to it and you can see what the cam sees then edit how you want .

you need to use the hook shaped GoPro mount. That we the camera can be level

Yes you can. You will have to set the parameters in the DJI setup app, but it can be set to shoot straight down.

NO you can not it is to small and not enough power to handle the weight or drag. A cigarette style camera would work however. We have had Go-pro installed on our EZ1280 trainer and Red Dragonfly, if you are looking for a small plane.

No, the only way to do that is to cut and tape the camera housing... Then tape it in place. Or a external camera. It would not land or fly as easily but, again you could figure it out. Happy drone hunting!

Are you using a J-hook adapter? This should allow you to position the GoPro camera at whatever angle you want. Something like this (this link is not the 'GoPro' brand, but pictures the adapter for your reference): http://www.amazon.com/Smatree%C2%AE-Vertical-Surface-J-Hook-Buckle/dp/B00ESWS3OQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1419613960&sr=8-2&keywords=gopro+j+hook

No it can not due to the orientation of the sensor and camera they cannot be changed to operate in a horizontal mode.

Did you use the specific camera for this model? If so there should be a plug to connect to the main board under the canopy. If not then you will have to start recording before you takeoff.

I do not know off hand. But I wonder if you could turn the camera so that is is upside down

It is possible, you can run a gibal and gopro and buy a set up for fpv for around 399 or fatshark fpv goggles. DO NOT link you gopro to you phone using the gopros wifi or you could experience a flyaway and possible loose your phantom

It will if you have your camera level or pointed up slightly. Also if you make any aggressive movements, as the gimble will keep the camera level and either the landing gear and or props will show up. I fly FPV through my GoPro so can see this and can tilt the camera down slightly via the gimble and correct the problem. Also at this setting fly gently no aggressive manoeuvres and you should be ok. Try some test shots, it's the best way to see what works best for you.....Jim H.

In short, YES. If you only want to stop the "jello" effect" then all you need are the 4 rubber dampers holding the Go Pro to the bottom of the Phantom. BUT, if you are trying to keep your camera level with the horizon no matter which direction your Phantom is tilted, then you need a control board to tell the Gimbals what is "level". This is done by the circut/control board which can be powered by the on board battery.

You can and are perfectly free to mount a GoPro on this quadcopter, HOWEVER, it will not fly with such a load.If you take off the plastic shell, the upper max limit of what it can carry is about 50 grams. I really do mean max too, it's able to get in the air and stay there with that much weight, but just to hover you're running 90-95% throttle.

I don't think so. You need power and axis information for the gimbal to stabilize. You can use it though, the way you're saying just to hold the camera. But it would be the same as holding it with your hand.

you extend it just like how you extend a tripod. camera doesn't rotate under its own weight if you have a good grip on the pole. but if you're talking about for long period of time, just change the setting on the gopro to take videos upside down, coz u get a stable video shot compared to being upright.

I would no try it. This is a foam glider. Go pro would weight more than the plane.

Yes. I've had my GoPro Black on it many times and it flew great with it just being attached to the board with one of the two sided tape mounts. Got legs so I can hang it underneath and clear the view but weather hasn't permitted. It's a blast and you'll be amazed at the video you can get and the things you come up with once you have the ability.
