V0.49 FW did not have PAL output... it was added in v0.58 which showed some bugs in previously stable functions after it was released. I've had other requests to try the buggy V0.58FW, so to save me the time of emailing it to users, I've put the prior v0.58 MOV FW back on the download page. NOTHING HAS BEEN FIXED YET! I have labeled it as a BETA version due to known bugs! If you choose to try this firmware to get the new functions, turn OFF the Auto-shutoff function to minimize the bug problem. I'm leaving the prior officially released firmware (v0.49) with no know issues available for down load as well for now.

I wonder how many new posts we will see mentioning the bugs in v0.58 FW?

Any ideas for making the camera lipo last longer when flying in wintertime? Isolating the casing?
Knitting a wool-sack for it? XD

2mm Neoprene wet suit material oversized with velcro on the edges to make a blanket as you suggested.

I've not tried it, but I'd first put some tape over all the holes and gaps in the case where air can enter or exit, except over the lens opening of course, but even that can be covered with some very clear "sandwich wrap" plastic! I've done that successfully for splash proofing when mounted on a float plane, and could not tell the plastic was there. Then wrap or encase the entire camera in closed cell foam. You can make one from Styrofoam, or use something like the EPP foam sheet that sometimes is used to wrap objects for shipping... the thicker the better. That will insulate it better than anything and it's very light weight. And keep the camera in a warm place before flying.

If you try something like this and get good results, share the improvement I recording time and what you did here (a picture would help).

Thanks Tom!

I'm going to download it before you remove it again.

Here is the first:
My two cameras works perfect with "buggy" FW.

I still have the v58 firmware and I've found a bug to notify. Here what I did.

1. I switched on the camera and started to record some footage while driving to my office;
2. As I arrived I tried to stop recording but pressing the shutter button did nothing. Status led never turned yellow;
3. I had to switch off the camera with the power button;
4. Movie was recorded and I've found a 1.5GB file.

The bug was that I had to turn off the whole camera to interrupt the recording. For shorter recording time everything is normal.

Is it really a bug or the camera need some minutes to shut down long recording sessions?

Just stopping by to thank you guys for all the hard work. I've been using your tool to adjust all my settings, it's so much easier than on my previous cameras. I'm using mine on my electric bike, works great:

Africa's fastest bicycle (20 min 1 sec)

Tried the time lapse, but with the camera on my head there's far too much movement. I'll mount it on the handlebars next time to see if that helps.

What are the other settings? Some functions will begin recording as soon as the power is turned on, and won't stop until the cameras is powered off. Post your camera's config file here... I'd rather not guess.

Try the 5 fps Frame Rate mode instead. It will play back at 30 fps with no editing required, and give slightly less speed-up than the slowest that can be created by converting time lapse images into a movie.

I run the assistant on a Mac and I note that Version 3.x.x.x says 'works on Linux and Windows (and Mac OS X once issue resolved)

Is the Mac issue resolved? or should I stick with the old version for now?

Unfortunately, the issue with Mac OS X is not yet resolved; it looks like it will take a while... I will make an announcement once it is resolved.

For the moment your best bet is to use latest Version 0.2.x.x as it contains all the rules for the parameters added after v0.49.

Hi all

I have a small problem. I have 2 #16 v2 cameras, both on the 49 firmware. They work fine except for the colors. They display colors VERY badly. Yellows are turning blue, blues turn orange, red turns blue. It looks like they have some kind of filter missing. Tried it as a web cam and the colors are fine.
Would love to know if anyone has seen this before. I did search, but found nothing

Thanks

This is strange. A short sample video clip would be helpful, but since two cameras are doing this, it must be something in the config. file color settings. Did you play with any of the color settings on them?
