![]() However, this is not such a huge benefit because most FPV pilots who have used naked GoPros before already have a Reelsteady license and thus would be able to get the Reelsteady 2.0 at no cost by logging in with their Reelsteady credentials. However, Bones includes a license for Reelsteady (normally $99.99) as part of the new GoPro Player + Reelsteady. Price and availability alternativesīones is available now for $399 (with a GoPro subscription), $50 more than a conventional Hero 10. Alternatively, you can use a GH1.25 to balance lead connector, which can connect to your LiPo battery, with no soldering needed. Like most naked GoPros, Bones needs external power from a GH1.25mm 3Pin cable, which can be soldered to your battery pads or to a BEC. GoPro Bones on GepRC Cinelog30 shows that the camera mount is centered on the lens axisĪlthough Bones doesn’t have a front LCD or rear LCD, it does have several options for controlling it: the Quik app (yes the Wi-Fi works), a GoPro remote, or with a QR code. However, if you prefer the camera to be centered, you can 3D print a mount for it. Though the camera is off-center, this design makes the pilot’s FPV view more similar to that of the Bones. Interestingly, the mount is positioned in line with the lens rather than in the middle of the camera. The mount for Bones appears to be similar to the one used by GepRC cinewhoops such as the GepRC Cinelog 30, GepRC Cinelog 25 and BetaFPV Beta95X v3. Bones has a built-in mount for a 1.5mm m2 screw and an M2 to GoPro adapter It also fits the GoPro MAX lens mod, but I don’t know if the Bones’ firmware supports the Max lens mod. It also makes it easy to find ND filters. I also like how the Bones keeps the Hero 10’s lens protector which not only protects the lens but is also oleophobic (it won’t easily get smudged by fingerprints). Besides being more convenient, I’m hoping that Bones is also more reliable. GoPro Bones Featuresīones makes getting a naked GoPro much easier. The Wi-Fi connection also often fails to survive the naked conversion. I converted a Hero 6 into a naked Hero 6 and after a few months the gyro stopped working. Moreover, even with a functioning camera, sometimes, it became less reliable. Originally, naked GoPros were hand assembled, which took time and could sometimes result in a bricked camera. Naked action cams are action cams stripped down to credit card size cameras They are also useful even for larger drones because the weight savings can improve flight performance. ![]() A naked GoPro’s light weight enables it to be used with very small FPV drones, such as a 2.5 inch cinewhoop to fly through small spaces. Typically, this means removing the LCD screen and battery, and replacing the case with a lightweight plastic case. ![]() What are FPV drones? What is a naked GoPro?Ī “naked GoPro” is a GoPro that’s been stripped down and made as light as possible. Here’s the launch video and some alternatives to consider. GoPro Bones ($399) is a new naked GoPro Hero 10 for FPV drones just a day after releasing Reelsteady 2.0.
