If I wanted to use a GoPro Hero 4 Black Edition what all would I need with this quadcopter to get up and flying?

I have the hero 4 black and it mounts perfectly to the zenmuse h3-3d. Obviously you could just mount the gopro to the bottom of the phantom without the gimbal, but it would pick up every shake and vibration. My rec is pay the money for the zenmuse gimbal. The only challenge here for me has been the FPV option. I ordered the kumba FPV kit from Amazon, tried it, didn't like it, and sent it back. It's overpriced and has poor range in my opinion. Currently looking for other options. Good luck.

I've got the same set up. If you've already got the Phantom 2 and the Zenmuse H3-3D, then it's as easy as placing it in the GoPro holder and screwing on the front plate. No different than the Hero 3 Black since they're the same dimensions.

Hi, You can find the zenmuse gimbal here: http://www.amazon.com/DJI-Zenmuse-GoPro-Hero-Brushless/dp/B00CUJXGS2/ref=aag_m_pw_dp?ie=UTF8&m=AF3OSWQ0BTWJQ Thank you

You can use a gimbal or a static mount. Currently DJI offers only the gimbal mount. I would highly recommend searching for the Phantom 2 WITH gimbal for $879. It's a much better deal as the gimbal alone is $359. Also, DJI just announced they will be selling a static mount soon however a date nor price has been announced. I would imagine the static mount will be less than $20.

Yes! I have the whole set up...Zenmuse H3-3D Gimbal, Part 9 hub, iOSD and video transmitter. All the parts plug directly into the hub, including the drone's internal cable that you would normally plug into the gimbal. The iOSD plugs directly into the CAM-HUB as well as being connected to the hub. It's all really dummy-free and couldn't be easier to set up! You will enjoy it greatly! I will offer this heads-up though....yesterday DJI had a live announcement video set up on YouTube. I missed it but I am almost certain it had something to do with the new generation. Depending on whether or not you have already purchased all this equipment you might want to wait for the Phantom 3! If you need anymore advice or want me to send you pictures of how I have all this put together feel free to ask. I'd love to help.

From what I know is yes. If you attach the GoPro4 Black to the Zenmuse Gimbal, the gimbal will require some modification. The information is on the net.

Extreme or extreme plus, GoPro does not recommend the ultra for the hero4, it's not fast enough for the higher resolutions. The extreme plus has been great for the hero4 black,4k30fps no problem. I'm sure the extreme will be just fine for a few less $$$.

If you have a Phantom 2 v.1, you just attach this H3-3D gimbal and your Gopro camera to your drone. They you can fly and take video. Paul

Yes, it works with Hero 4 Black. It is possible to watch the video while recording.

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.

Eh, not really. First you need to also purchase this: DJI Naza-M Multi-rotor Auto Pilot Version 2 PMU OnlyThen once you have both items you have to take the top off the phantom and solder a few wires onto the board and plug a couple things in. This is the installation video: http://www.dji.com/tutorial/zenmuse-h3-2d-gimbal-tutorials/After everything is soldered and plugged in pop on your GoPro then plug in the phantom battery and you will be good to go.

Not sure GoPro and P2V can ever go together. Maybe lose P2V camera and get a P2 gimbal. Can't use AVL58 video transmitter because it is the freq as hand held transmitter. DJI is not open to a technical manual.

Mine came with everything need to fly. Servos installed, receiver and ESC installed. Just charge the flight battery, install the transmitter batteries, screw on the elevator and rudder and attach the control rods to the horns, and put on the nose gear and landing gear and fly. Took less than half an hour to set up. Really nice flying plane

I don't know. I haven't been able to pre-order the gopro4. I have 4 of the humbled. They are very fragile. Small crashes render them unusable. Purchase insurance when you purchase the gimble. It's about $40.

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 .

Not quite sure about the super stability of flight after you install with a GoPro.
