Go Pro EMI?

Posted by Mark Stanoch on April 4, 2015 at 4:49am

I have been flying my Iris+ for about 2 weeks now without the Go Pro just so I could acquaint myself with it.  I am now ready to attach my Go Pro HERO 3+.  The Go Pro is covered in aluminum tape in order to reduce the EMI when attached to my Blade 350 QX.  However, I noted that the Tarot gimbal can not accept the Go Pro with the protective cover on.  But I was wondering whether any Iris/Iris+ owners experienced any interference from the Go Pro while flying?

    No EMI if the GoPro wireless is off. I've flown with

      wireless on before to test in an open area, but wouldn't recommend it. Ditch the tape.

    I use my GoPro 4 Black, and just make sure the Wifi is turned off before flying.  I'm even seeing posts that using Wifi on the Iris+ works...  I am not willing to risk it, but I have seen posts where people have been using the 2.4ghz wifi on the GoPro while flying...

      Listen to him. He knows. He's the DOCTOR!!! ;-)

       Just set it up beforehand. Learn your GoPro without phone or remote. Push the BUTTONS!
