can i mount a GoPro on it and still fly fine?

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.

Don't know as it was a gift for my husband and he blew up the battery before he ever got it out of the box. It does come with camera but doubt if it will haul around a heavy gropro camera... I'm sure you can ask the seller at his web site if it will...

no, probably not, the camera that comes already attached is much smaller than a GoProThe DJ1 Phantom comes with a cradle for a GoPro and is considerably bigger and stronger than one

no first of all it cant take the payload of a go pro also if you need a higher quality camera get the Syma X5C I wish I had really thought of it before however know this it is in the place #11 in helicopters but the U818A won #3

Try the Polaroid Cube camera - it only weighs 8.5gm (0.3 oz), a choice of 720p or 1080p resolution and a 124 degree field of view... and only costs $99.00 - a quarter of the cost of a Go-Pro.

This plane has loads of power and it can carry a go pro. however mounting it will be a challenge. I personally use a Mobius 1080 P cam on my planes for flight footage and the come out great. Advantage is the Mobius lays flat unlike the Go pro which will cause a lot of drag and may affect aerodynamics of the plane. If mounted in line with the fuselage, it should not be a problem. I have mounted the Mobius on the fuselage, wings, even the tail of my planes.

Yes, this mount would work perfect for both activities. I personally think its the most versitile mount for the gopro. Maybe order 2 of them so you can take the neck piece off one and attach it to the other for a longer neck.

No, the gopro weighs almost as much as the 180qx (85g vs 95g). You might be able to lift a mobius camera, but it wouldn't fly very well.

Yes, it has a simple clamp to hold a GoPro. But the GoPro needs to be out of its clear plastic case. So practice with the quad copter before putting the camera on! And the trim needs to be set different when you attach the camera (but that's no problem).

I have not tried that but I think it'll be OK. Once it's tightened up, it is approximately as strong as the regular GoPro mounts.Consider this: The friction surface area between the ball and the shell is about as big as the friction surface area in a regular GoPro mount connector.

It works for me. I'm always taking driving videos. I stick the pole with the GoPro attached and its holds up as long as you keep a tight grip on the handle.

If you are just using it as a still mount then no problem.........Moving on......may be a problem........It holds my GoPro on my boat at 85 mph just fine, but the GoPro weighs considerably less than the Cannon.

Somebody can tell me if I can plug my GoPro3 on it... fits on the Gimbal's mount? Tnx

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

It's not OFFICIAL GoPro. The brand is called GoPole. It is the GoPro-supported brand

Mark L. It can handle the weight of a go pro. I would suggest mounting it to the side of the Radian.

Absolutely, that's what I've got and it works great. You will have to (as someone else mentioned) get a crown bolt that's compatable with the standard GoPro hardware unless you want to carry a wrench with you when you ride.

Yes. I have mounted my GoPro Hero3+ Black upside down using this frame and it was very secure. It has a ridge around the inside edge of the plastic frame so even when the camera and frame aren't on a mount the camera won't fall out unless you pry open the frame where it splits at the mounting point. Once you tighten it down on a mounting point, it isn't going anywhere.

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

The sticker mount (curved or flat) will accept the GoPro mounting bracket although it will be loose. I wouldn't recommend using it for any type of action that way. I took the Freestyle waterproof case and screwed it onto a GoPro mounting bracket which pairs with the GoPro mounts. I know the plastic interlocking "teeth" fit that way for me.

Yes you can hook a go pro on this, if you go to the youtube video of the flyzone they use go pros on several places and the plane still flies great. I plan to use one on the float struts and record video from the floats view.
