GoPro Hero 3+ and GoPro Hero4 Live Video Out for FPV or Preview
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 жов 2024
- I wanted to share an update related to getting live video out on a GoPro Hero 3, 3+ (amzn.to/1FzqS04), and GoPro Hero 4 (amzn.to/1AOlULL). Recently, I've been using the nifty Eachine FPV transmitter:
amzn.to/1t46g9P
and it works great. The major complaint I have with this is the 1S lipo that's required to power it and the funky connector. Hopefully they'll release a new version that gets power from the GoPro. It turns out that the Eachine is not compatible with the Hero4 that my buddy let me borrow.
This video talks through the basic setup to get the GoPro video out cable working. This cable is super cheap at Amazon and easy to interface with the Boscam setup:
amzn.to/19o49qB
This will work for live video and FPV from a GoPro Hero 3, 3+ and 4. This is done with the ever popular Boscam TS351 transmitter and RC805 receiver combo:
amzn.to/1nNJArL
My main intent is to be able to get live video in the air so we can frame our shot. This is a great way to do it.
Please feel free to share you comments or suggestions below.

the change with the 4 is the back long serial connector..thats why you must use a usb out.
biomedchad Ah so the bus connector changed. It seems they've done that before. Good to know and I'd like to find an updated pin out. Thanks.
Hello Dennis,
Thanks for the cool video! What is the lens cover you are using on the GoPro 3? Thanks.
I'm late with this video, but I hope you will still reply.
What was the other camera you showed? Not the GoPros, but the skeleton one? I need a high quality, hopefully HD, camera that can hook up with this gear and I can't get my GoPros to work.
Thanks. Great video!
Hey Dennis,
You've got some great videos and they have helped me immensely!
I'm using that cable you've got listed with the Hero4 Black and only getting 480i to my Black Pearl Rc801 using a Boscam TS832 Tx.
Is that normal? I can't find any info anywhere as to what kind of resolution comes out of that mini usb port.
Thanks!
+Ray Lotier Glad you got it working. I'm not sure exactly the resolution coming out that mini usb port. You're right that searching out doesn't yield much information. I'll dig around some more and see what I can find out. Please do the same :)
Thanks for the heads-up, Dennis. I'm planning to get a GP4 and connecting it to a video switcher would have resulted in instant disappointment.
CradyLab No problem. I'm trying to figure out what's different about the connector and will share my findings when I do. Thanks for watching.
Hello Dennis,
Thanks for this very informative video. What was the firmware version of your GoPro H4 when you shot the video? Mine is currently v3.00 (bought 3 weeks ago) and I can't manage to get live feed out from the USB port, even by using proper cables. I was wondering if it could be a firmware version issue.
+Clément de la Fontaine I do recall a certain version of firmware where users complained about not being able to get live video. I believe my current firmware version is HD3.03.03.00 and it's working well. Now I'm not sure what version I was using in this video unfortunately. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
Hello, thanks for reply. I just found a solution, was a easycap's software bad setting! My current Hero4 Silver version is HD4.01.03.00.00 and there is a live feed at the USB port. Great! What's surprising is that the guy from GP support platform don't even know that there is a live feed...
This video as good as it is, does not actually explain specifically what is different between the USB port of the GoPro Hero 3 and 4.
On the spec sheet, they both use mini-USB specification.
So what is the technical reason?
The cable appears to be a standard mini-USB ??
Hey dennis, did you have any update for the links of transmitter and receiver? And also for the usb mini cable you use for go pro hero 4?
Very nice and informative video. But I have a question! Can you please tell me which firmware you had on your GOPRO HERO 4 while filming this video? Your answer will help me a lot! Thanks Dennis.
I'm so sorry but I'm not sure what the version was at the time. I'll take better notes next time!
No problem Dennis. Thanks :)
Whats the best Cam to use for FPV with a Phantom 2 with Gopro 7 Zemuse Gimbal
GasserGlass This is the one I'm using right now and absolutely love it:
amzn.to/1FOERPP
There are probably newer versions of this camera available, but check it out. I've also heard good things this one too:
www.foxtechfpv.com/horyzonhd-1080p-cam-c-121.html
Good luck and let us know where you end up.
Dennis Baldwin
....Thank you very Kindly Dennis.....I went to the link and put the camera in my cart, I have a few other things to buy so ill wait a day or too till I finish shopping before I buy it....... AGAIN, Thank You Very Much!
....I also Booked marked the other link...will check it out later in the day......again...Thanks lol
Hey Dennis!
I really like your videos!
Do you have any suggestions if MIC IN AND VIDEO OUT over USB is possible (both with usb) ?
I heard that the ID pins resistor declares which pins will be used. I want to monitor the picture and record audio with extern mic..
Would love to hear from you
I'm not sure how to setup the external mic. I'll have to look into this and see what I can find out. Let us know if you figure anything out on your end. Thanks.
Dennis Baldwin i found a cable called composite combo cable. Quiet expensive (30$) but there are video out, audio out, mic in and normal USB. i am not sure if i can use them at the same time, but i will try it out and tell you the result. Maybe it wont work because the ID pin has a resistor to the case of the miniUSB plug, the gopro only works if the right resistor is connected between id and case. 100kohm for video and 330kohm for mic in or something like that. Dont know if gopro can recognize both at the same time.
Dennis Baldwin i have hero3 BE by the way
I heard about this issue with the USB port of the new Gopro 4! Good to see it's not so hard to solve :)
Wow, you guys in the US can buy FPV equipment on amazon, that's amazing lol
Thanks for sharing Dennis and have a great weekend
ABMNS PRODUCTION It is nice to be able to buy FPV gear from Amazon, but sometimes the prices are higher due to shipping from other countries. I'd prefer to buy from my local hobby store if they had the equipment. Hope you had a good weekend.
ABMNS PRODUCTION Hola can you tell me how to solve the usb port issue?
DustyRolle Hola :)
You have the solution clearly explained in the video lol
You have to use an USB cable compatible with the Gopro 3, 3+ & 4 or at least just the Gopro 4 ;)
It seems to be that on the Gopro 4 the USB port is a bit different compare to the previous version!
Happy weekend
what is the range of the setup of hero 4 and is the setup is coming hot after a while ???
And thanks for the video ;)
The range is limited by the range of the transmitter and antenna. You can expect to easily get up to half a mile with this setup and with better antennas you can get a mile. Generally the transmitter will get hot but it should be dissipated with a heat sink. There are others with the right power transmitter and antenna that can get well over 3 miles. I haven't done this, but know it's possible.
Dennis Baldwin thank you
Hey dude. im willing to use the gopro feed for ACTUAL fpv flying with goggles till i got an actual FPV cam. Is it do-able? or is there lag or something. Or should it be fine for some fun and freestyle?
You mentioned taking stills and videos, controlled from the ground. PLEASE tell me how you did that! Thanks.
It's been a while since I've messed with the GoPro but here is an overview: cam-do.com/blogs/camdo-blog/gopro-shutter-control-with-a-radio-control-rc-interface
Hey Dennis, just wondering if your done making videos with the QAV500 frame and the pixhawk setup? really want to upgrade from my kk 2.1 board. Thank You
Paul DTOM Definitely not. I have a couple more to come with the QAV500. Weather has been so spotty here lately, but the next video I plan on doing an AutoTune howto with the QAV500. Thanks for checking in and stay tuned. Take care.
I've had issues with the H4 Black when recording video. Same setup as you (USB video-out cable with Boscam video transmitter). The video comes in normal when the GoPro is on standby, but the moment I press record, it goes nuts with weird colors and scan lines. It's barely usable. Recorded video is fine though. Never had an issue with the H3, only a problem since upgrading.
Have you ever experienced this?
+William Levasseur See the comment from FPVREVIEWS where he says that the latest update doesn't support video out. If that's true talk about a huge downer. GoPro is trying to get everyone to buy their drone when it comes out. I find that shocking if that's the case.
that sounds like you're mixing PAL and NTSC, but there are several other things it could be.
Is it possible to use a Gopro hero 5 in FPV with the Boscam Tx/Rx setup? Thanks
I'm not sure about this unfortunately. If you figure it out please let us know. Thanks.
Hi Dennis, Thanks for your videos, I wonder if you might point me in the right direction here, I have GoPro 3+ and would like to use it with the Eachine ET200, I have connected the video out lead with no results but I assuming I'll need to use the video ground wire too, but where would I connect it to on the ET200. I'm also using the Eachine VR D2 goggles. Any pointers, Thank you, mark.
Mark, I wish I could help you here but I'm not familiar with these products. Good luck and I'd appreciate it if you share any progress with the community here. Take care.
Thank you Dennis, great videos, keep em coming!
question for you: On your first setup (with the hero 3) I see that it was plugged into the USB and HDMI ports. Is there a setup to just use a FPV system using just the HDMI port? I have a hero 3+ but the USB is broken.. Any suggestions?
HI Dennis, how true is it that when a gopro firmware will be updated, they disabled the fpv anymore? in your video it seems that the two gopros looks prety good for fpv.
+Glenn Balbz I've read that too but when I upgraded my Hero 3+ to the latest firmware I didn't have any problems. So perhaps there is an older version of the firmware that disabled it and then they released a new version. For reference this is the camera I updated with no FPV problems: amzn.to/1FzqS04
Dennis Baldwin Maybe my gopro was one of the unlucky item, which was included on the release of firmware update without fpv.
What kind of FPV camera do you recommend to go with the Boscam or skyzone Tx/Rx set up? I'm looking for something with decent resolution that won't break the budget. Thanks
I don't know what your budget is but getfpv always has some of the best selection of FPV cameras:
www.getfpv.com/catalogsearch/result/?cat=0&q=fpv+camera
Please let us know what you decide to do.
don't do the latest update. no more video out. go pro is trying to exclude everyone from flying fpv without their equipment.
+FPVREVIEWS If that's true man talk about a travesty. GoPro better make a big splash if they're yanking video out from all H4s. IMO they are pretty late to the game given the headstart DJI and 3DR have, but we shall see. Thanks for sharing that bit of info. I may have to do a test.
+Dennis Baldwin where did you get the lens protector??whats it called?
Class Action suit anybody?
I did the update before I read your post any way to fix this problem. I was going crazy trying to figure out why I don’t have video out. Thanks
FPVREVIEWS are you serious ?!? I just updated a hero 4 and I plugged in the same av our line and it didn’t work . Is there a way I can still get video out ?
CAUTION: Hero GoPro has disabled the live video output thru their camera microUSB socket on their latest firmware updates.......this is true.......Makes no difference which cable you purchase or which FPV xmitter connects to GoPro.... you are DOA with respect to FPV for GoPros........
They also claim that any attempt to rollback the firmware to a previous version will break your camera and void any warranties.
Wow. I've heard of this happening in the past but they reverted blocking users. If they are playing tough with their community of loyal users (who just want live video) it's a shame. Thanks for sharing.
Good call on not using any WIFI options on the GoPro...I've used the DragonLink's spectrum analyzer feature and it puts a TON of interference around the 2.4 band, especially up close. It would be terrible to lose a ship because you didn't want to use the buttons on the camera ;)
tpalshadow Thanks for verifying that. Very interesting to hear. I agree with you regarding being too lazy to use the buttons on the camera. It's not worth it!
tpalshadow thanks for posting that you've put the GoPro near a spectrum analyzer. I have long wondered if and how much it leaked RF. I always suspected it did. No one has been able to tell me yes or no. I don't have access to a detector so I have not been able to confirm that for my self.
I still wrap my camera in foil anyway.
And Dennis, great job with your video's too, well done!
Excellent video Dennis
Thanks for sharing
SurvivalTech Nord Thanks so much. I appreciate the feedback.
So there is no power feed to the camera with this cable setup Dennis. You just have a video feed and ground (black and yellow) The camera is powered by its own battery with no feed from the TX at all? If that's correct this is the only way to go.
You can power the go-pro with the battery still in if you like and it will also charge the battery up,depending on what VTX your using will determine how you go about this,using a FS or Emmersion VTX you can power the camera (Go-Pro) through the 5v out on those VTX but other Chinese makes you would have to use a Ubec,you should be able to google this info or check on the forums to get some better info. :-)
Allan Main My bad I thought you were asking if it was possible to power the go-pro through the VTX,that's the way I tend to do it is just use the Go-Pro battery and take spare ones with me,just use the video and ground cables as you said,the less wires the better IMHO,well it is for me what with so many different VTX's. :-)
Allan Main Yes that's exactly right with this setup. I'm wondering if they'll ultimately come up with something like this for the Hero4:
www.getfpv.com/accessories-75/a-v-cables/gopro-video-board-live-video-out-charge.html
Thanks for the feedback.
hello a question, according to the camera sj4000 wifi, yellow and black which is also full, the camera that I have has no TV output option and that is good and easy
Very confusing: The "pin outs" for video and ground are obviously the same for both cameras as you prove by getting video using the simple 2 wire adaptor so I don't understand why your plug in board does not work :-( Thanks for the video.
RedHotPheasant That's a great point now that you mention it. I'll have to look into it. I remember when I was messing with the Hero2 there were certain pins that had to be grounded for things to work. Perhaps the plug-in TX is grounding something incorrectly and causing the signal not to work. Just a poor theory :) Will let you know what I find out.
Dennis Baldwin Hi Dennis, see here for the "pin out" details flitetest.com/articles/GoPro3_FPV_Video_Cable_DIY
Dennis Baldwin...sorry forgot to mention that I noticed that your TX also plugs into the hdmi socked, perhaps it gets video from there and it might be different on the H4? - good luck - Peter
what is model # of the Sony fpv camera that you recommend at the beginning ?
hi mate
love the video, im after a setup for the gopro 4 but with abit more range , any ideas ???cheers
+mat matwom If you're looking for more range and don't want to invest too much money then you could get the Boscam setup with some decent antennas: amzn.to/1nNJArL
Using the same setup shown, can you please recommend a decent inexpensive monitor?
+Joey Lopina I haven't used this one, but have read good things about it: amzn.to/1R8quGQ I know it's not the cheapest out there. This one may be an option: amzn.to/1n2qDn9 Once again, I haven't used either of these and recommending solely based on what I've read. Let us know what you end up doing.
+Dennis Baldwin awesome. Thanks. I'll do some research this weekend.
Is this at all possible on the newer gopros like the hero 6 or 7 or 8
Can you transmit the Video to your Smartphone or do you need a fpv screen?
Hey , i wan't to use gopro hero 4 black for fpv , it still work ? i have read gopro upload a new firmware to disable live cam ...
hi due! do you think if possible do the same but with the GoPro hero 5 black?
Good question. I don't have one and haven't looked into it much. I did find that others are having problems with it:
www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?2770566-GoPro-Hero-5-Black-as-FPV/page3
Sorry I can't be of more assistance and please let us know if you figure it out. Thanks.
I cant find the video with the fpv system using the sony camera. Can you help me ?
Cheers
Kay
I hooked up my hero4 silver to a skyzone 200mw vtx and I noticed at 30fps 1080p the frame rate is slow and jettery. Had to raise it to 60fps to get rid of the slow video jitter.
Robert Meyers I've always been at 60fps so haven't seen that behavior you describe. But it's good to know and I'll see if I can reproduce the issue the next time I'm testing. Thanks for the feedback.
Hello Dennis Baldwin this may sound like dumb question but I am building a Quadcopter and I was wondering if it would be possible to take a picture or start a video using a this system but also having a switch to start and top video or take a pictures. Thanks in advance I am a beginner so please bare with my questions.
+Ben Rouse I'm not sure how to do this without using the bus connector in the back of the camera. I was messing with it here but ran into too many problems:
ua-cam.com/video/Kg7FeWFreIg/v-deo.html
You could always use the wifi remote, but as you know that will give you limited range. I'll dig around and see if I can find anything. Good luck with your setup.
+Dennis Baldwin Thanks. I will also be experimenting with this setup as soon as I can get my quad up an running. If you figure anything out that might work you can Email me at benezrarouse@gmail.com. Thanks
Hi Dennis, Thanks you for this video,
I'm doing a project for college and I need the go pro hero 3 to deliver the video in real time to my laptop.
the problem with the wifi is the delay and it's not helping, soon I'm getting the live view kit of 3dr.
Do you know how can I see the video transmited on my laptop and not on the screen?
+oshri maayan This may be what you're looking for. I've never used it but have read a lot of pilots running it on their laptop:
amzn.to/URR01G
Good luck and let us know how it goes.
Thank you I will.
On amazon there are two different cables on amazon on the link you posted. Which one is it?
jason3fc This is the cable I purchased a while back:
amzn.to/1Oj2QZg
It works on my Hero3+ as well as my friend's Hero4. Hope that helps.
Thanks Dennis. I found the right one and it works well.
hello, do you think this could work with a gopro hero 5 black
Bro can i use this cable in sjcam sj6 legend for fpv .. reply fast bro
You can't use the hero 4 wifi to do fpv because the range is not that great. My Hero 4 Silver works for about 20m without anything in the way but then it will freeze because the gopro is too far away from the phone.
Joshua Archibald Totally agreed.
So same cable i have will work on hero 4 no alterrations? I have the exact same cable you have, but was to get one w/ 4 pin cobbector.
+Tim Wiley I didn't have to alter the cable in the video to work with the 3+ and the 4. It worked in both cases.
so how r u going to trigger the shutter for aerial photography.
Wyll Surf Air Just using time lapse mode taking a photo every 2 seconds. I did some experimentation a while back with my Hero2 and was able to use the bus connector to trigger the camera from my transmitter. We'll have to wait to see if we can learn more about the Hero4 bus connector. Maybe it will be possible one day.
Dennis can you please give us a link to locating the battery you are using. Many Thanks.
Hi Ross, I can't seem to find the battery but these will work:
amzn.to/2xxRYrO
Good luck with your setup.
Easy to find on Amazon Search up the exact words on Amazon. That's how i found it
Does the Go Pro 3+ cable work with the Go Pro 4?
EpicRC The cable that I used in the video. This one: amzn.to/19o49qB does work with the Hero 3+ and 4.
What range are you getting on this? Thanks.
eje0100 The cloverleaf antenna really helps. The furthest I've done is 1/2 mile but I bet it could get to a mile as long as there were no obstacles in between.
Dennis Baldwin Cool thanks!
Hola having an issue I have a gopro 4 black and this same gopro cable worked fine with my hero 3 black but doesn't work with my hero 4 any ideas or settings I'm missing?
DustyRolle Not sure what's going on there. I'm pretty sure it should work unless your cable pinout is different than the one I used and causing an issue with the H4. Or maybe GoPro released a firmware update that broke compatibility?
when using go pros "for FPV" you say you get distortion. what do you mean by this. im only asking bc i'm building an FPV system and planed on using my gopro as the camera
+Casey Vitti Good question. Distortion may be the wrong word, but you'll see the world through the lens of the GoPro which has that fisheye look to it. So things on the side of the view will look closer than they actually are and things near the center will be further away. Hope that makes sense. It's definitely FPVable but takes some getting used to.
That's fine. Gopro In narrow mode will work perfect for me, thanks for the reply
hi
how did you get out and replace the two cords from the other cord to the ts 351 connector
+Bunderbass I bought this cable and used an exacto to pop the leads out and place them in the appropriate pin slots on the TS351 connector. It's super easy to do and allows you to change connectors when necessary. Hope that helps.
I have a hero 4 silver. I got the plane the remote. If i want this to work. I have to buy that 8 $ connector with the 32$ kit on amazon receiver transmittor. 2x clover antennas. 1x 2s lipo 2200 ma and i need a screen since goggles are so expensive. Pls help. I just wanna fpv real far on my radian pro glider with mods.
I like the Lumenier monitor you can see here:
www.getfpv.com/8-lumenier-lcd-fpv-monitor.html
Now I haven't used this combo but it looks very reasonably priced for Fat Shark googles. These are more of a starter version:
amzn.to/2cjlraX
and this connector should get your GoPro communicating with the FatShark TX:
www.getfpv.com/fatshark-gopro-to-tx-5p-molex.html
Finally, there are a lot of FPV bundles on Amazon that you may want to check out. Just search for "fpv kit" or "fpv bundle". Good luck and let us know what you end up doing.
Trust me, I have the FRSky Taranis and tried what you suggested or posited doing (using the app) and it DOES create problems. I wrecked my hex because of it. Doh! That was some months ago however. Don't do it if you are controlling on 2.4ghz.
***** Thanks for sharing. The video transmitter is 5.8GHz and I never use Wifi (2.4GHz) in the air just for the reason you mentioned. Sorry to hear about your crash.

Is it possible/practical to get the video to come down one of the telemetry lines?
How do you get the wires out of the new go pro connectors
+Mark Dickey I haven't tried so maybe someone on the channel will know.
do any other cameras have live video out? new to the hobby im a glider flyer and looking for a camera on the cheap side size and Wight is not a problem just budget is my problem
+ryan dezeng Not sure what quality you're looking for but check out the Mobius: www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__78401__Mobius_ActionCam_FPV_Docking_Station_with_Mini_Video_Transmitter_5_8GHz_32ch_200mW.html
+Dennis Baldwin i have looked on hobbyking but i dont like the 45 days to get my stuff im in canada plus 18 buck shipping min
i have ordered things from hobbyking
+Dennis Baldwin and what u linked was just the dock that cam is 98 bucks US im looking for more of a list of cams i could use for fpv that are cameras
how do I connect gopro 4 to livestream mini?? I'm going crazy!!
If your not using the wifi how are you controlling the camera ie how do u make it tame a photo and or video?
koop37 I just start recording while on the ground. In this case we were trying to get a still shot so I had it taking a photo every 2 seconds.
Hello, could you help with setting up a gopro hero 4 with a transmitter much bigger battery and screen monitor? please. I don't need to instal this on a drone I need for mounting it on a piece of equipment i run and i have blind spots I need to be aware for safety. thanks in advance.
+JK Kazt Sounds interesting. Feel free to send me an email db at unmannedairlines dot com and we can chat.
Good call not using wifi in air. Two weeks ago i crashed my quad with Hero4 Session (with powered on wifi and transmitted to phone). After tedious recovery from a tree i pulled logs from APM 2.6 and got to the root of problem: Signal Loss, so the threat is real.
(And yeah i crashed cause i didnt have properly set failsafe - cant do that on Flysky TH9X :( )
+Ondřej Benda Wow sorry to hear that but glad you were able to diagnose and share with us. Hope you're back in the air!
+Dennis Baldwin no problem, crashing is part of flying (and like the Launchpad McQuack always said "Its art form") tomorrow i received spare parts, and today i got the 3DR telemetry to work :) so im superhappy and cant wait to try it in air (just waiting for failsafe module from HK) :D
ill be one from experience I flew a gopro 3 + Black with wifi on and it caused my quad to not respond or even jst fall out of the sky, always turn the wifi off on your gopro if your flying a 2.4ghz trans an rec
+Jon Tatum (FPV-A-HOLIC) Thanks for sharing your experience. Good to know and hope you didn't sustain too much damage.
yea I did unfortunately.. but you learn from your mistakes..
I can't get my GoPro to output video, I heard that GoPro disabled it on the USB port?
I've heard this happened in a previous version of the firmware, but to the best of my knowledge the latest version should give you video out. I'm not 100% sure so I'll do some digging around.
is it a boscam transmitter ?
GoProFlodo Yes. It's the TS351 transmitter.
That's a micro USB plug, isn't it? Is it something else?
mini usb
Does the FPV cable still work???
Yes. As of a couple weeks ago it still works.
Did anyone else at 2:50 think that was their own gopro? xD
yee i would agree, on not using 2 @ 2.4ghz sir.. excellent choice sir... there will be some interference 4sho
Thanks for confirming.
hi there
I ave an issue of not being able to view while recording in 4k
Interesting. I haven't heard of that problem before but will look into it. Perhaps check and see if you have the latest firmware running.
Saya sudah mengikuti cara yabg anda lakukan, tapi kenapa tempat saya susah terkoneksi
I can use this for a gopro hero 2014 ?
I'm not sure if you can. I haven't tested that version.
There for sure is interference issues with the Gopro WiFi and a radio link. Also DJI Naza has major problems with the Gopro WiFi. Anyways as always great video!
jkflorida2013 Good to know. I've read the same many times over, but can't speak from personal experience. Plus I'd rather not find out the hard way :) Hope all is well.
Merci beaucoup et peux me dire si avec ce matériel tout sera ok? Ça fonctionnera?

what is thw firmware of your hero 4 silver?
I don't remember, but I have heard that the latest firmware locks out users from getting live video. I'm not sure if that's true but if so that's a bad move on GoPros part.
Hey any chance you will be willing to sell one? I have the money not the time. Thanks!
+xXSwagNinja582Xx MLG Unfortunately I don't have the time but maybe someone else will chime in and help you out. Good luck.
+Dennis Baldwin Thanks anyways!
+Dennis Baldwin Also would you suggest it for beginner fpv?
Also How close is it to "real time"?
exceeded my expectations~
How about GoPro max with 360degree video Wireless transmission? Links to parts anyone? Not this would be something to start a while youtube account about
can gopro record when in fpv mod
??????????
yes
Hi, how to record and output video fpv gopro
Lucas Gomez Villegas The GoPro will feed live video and record just as you would normally record. So it can do both simultaneously.
Gracias
Would it be ok to use a gopro as an fpv camera for 250 racing, if anyone has tried it please let me know thanks:)
Interesting, thanks
Natterjak2012 No problem. Thanks for watching.
Can ı use this with sj4000 wifi ?
+ozelturk Good question. Not sure if that will work but perhaps do some research to see if the pinout and voltages are the same. I would have to say that the chances of it working with the SJ4000 are small, but I'm not 100% sure of that.
thanks m8
No problem. Thanks for following along.
I've sent you an email I don't know if you receive it or no?
+JK Kazt Yes. I did get your email.
Am I the only one who can't get the hero4 Black Edition to do this?
+Brandon Brown I know you've likely already tried this, but have you done a firmware update? I was having issues with my Hero 3+ and did an upgrade and that took care of it.
+Brandon Brown you are not the only one....i have gopro 4 black with boscam ts351 vtx and fpv cable....no video out and dunno what to do!
I bought a gopro link board from team black sheep. Its in the mail, but it says that it's now compatible with the 4blk
You showed me how to FPV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TechnoBoys DK Thanks for the feedback. Glad it helped.
Forget Go Pro, I'll use this on a generic HD AC
Cool idea. Hope it works out for you. Let us know how it goes.
Thanks, obviously it's not as good as 4k but for the price not bad at all. Later when xk x380 is working properly I'll get a 4k camera.

All good info Dennis and i'd have to agree with what you said about the Wi-Fi and the interference,i did how ever find a way around this on the forums,by using a little template that you can get online and cut out and put around the go-pro which does help to cut out most if not all the interference,depending on what you use to make your template from,i used kitchen foil and a beer can and the best results came from the beer can,maybe because it was thicker.
I'm sure a google search would bring up the template,i would add it but it was well over a year or that I used it so I can't remember where I got mine from sorry. :-)
startazz No worries at all. I'll see if I can dig that template up. I appreciate the tip on this. Thank you!
Dennis Baldwin I had a few minutes so I had a quick look for you Dennis,here is the link and I hope you or someone else might get some use out of it as I and many others have. :-)

I had interference issues with the gopro WiFi. Testing in the house was not an issue but when I flew my quad with it on it killed my transmitter signal to the receiver. Luckily the fail-safe on my APM kicked in and brought it back to launch.
Conan Mills Very useful info. Thanks for sharing.
Is this also possible with the Gopro Hero 4 Session?
+Johannes Schrotshamer I really wish it were but I found out the hard way that the session doesn't have live video out. A huge bummer.
Is it possible to play the video back onto a lap top?
Yes. You need the right cable but I know it's possible. This is one that I've ready about a fair amount, but have never used it before:

Good luck and let us know what you find out.
do it work with the sj4000 ?
No. Unfortunately you'll need a different piece of hardware. You could use the following cable with a FPV transmitter though: www.banggood.com/USB-To-AV-Out-Cable-For-SJ4000-Action-Camera-For-FPV-p-938777.html
