So I installed the Ribcage mod onto my GPH4B. It took about 2 hours to complete and for the rest of the day (while it was still light out) I ran a quick test. http://i.imgur.com/6NjFZWe.jpg
Shot on GoPro Hero3 and Knog Qudos light mounted on a Selfie stick. No colour correction, camera was in 1080p 50 Medium FOV, auto everything, rendered from Sony Vegas Pro in 720p 50 as Cineform avi, then converted to 720p25 MP4 in Sorenson Squeeze @ 4000Mbps.
Sony 4K FDR-X1000V vs 4K GoPro Hero4
GoPro on a gimbal video tests, with panning (vertical and horizontal), still and walking clips.
I realize that some of the shots are a over the top and pushed too far but I wanted to see how exactly how far I could stress the MP4 codec of the GoPro Hero 4 Black.
Hi Anyone know about when is the next model coming up ? you guys thinks new model can take long 4k shoots?
While most of the use for the GoPro is for outdoors activities, the low-light, indoor performance is also quite good. Here is a brief video I took in a dimly lit café, but which had changing light colors. The wide view is also quite useful in cramped quarters. This was shot at 1080 30p (by mistake!), with AWB, max ISO 1600.
As the new GoPro Firmware 2.0 was released on Feb. 5th last week, I was eager to test it. See my review and test video here on Cinema5d:

@kellar42 - Glad to hear it worked out well for you. This is pretty much the standard for getting video feed from Hero 4 in all resolutions during aerial use. Not as clean or robust as plugging directly into the back of the cam, but at least it works. And it's a bit better for standing up to regular use over the crappy ribbon cable DJI is using on the later versions of the H3-3D. Can't believe they're continuing to use it on the latest H4-3D. After breaking 4 of them in the last 8 months, I'm officially over their gimbals. Have since moved on.
