• Reduced motor noise caused by movements with the remote control

Note:

A camera should ALWAYS be attached to the S1 whenever it is powered on.

Firmware upgrade will take 60~80 seconds to be completed after pressing ‘Firmware Upgrade’ button. IF the S1 stays asleep after 80 seconds, firmware upgrade has possibly been failed. In this case, please try again after reconnecting the S1 to the PC

As both calibration and firmware update software use virtual COM port to connect to your Gimbal, you may need to download a device driver. When you connect your gimbal to a PC via USB cable and turn it on, please check on the device manager of your Windows to see if there is CP210x USB to UART Bridge existing. If not, you need to download the driver from http://www.silabs.com/products/development-tools/software/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers
Please select “Download VCP (5.3 MB) (Default)” on the page.

Note: This is for the R1+. DO NOT install on R1.

Before downloading and updating your firmware, please check that your R1+ is already on version 1.1.0, if it is not, please update to this first using this link :

V1.1.0.

Once you are on this version, you can then upgrade to V1.2.1.

Upgrading to version 1.2.1

1. Click the download button below
2. You will see “R1+_121.bin” file. Please put(copy) these files to R1+ storage device.

Update Features

• We fixed a bug for some HERO5 devices that cannot connect with R1+
• Compatible with GoPro HERO5 Black.

Remark

1. Make sure both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are enabled, pair with HERO5 Black using GOPRO Capture APP, and connect with your R1+ using the ID/PASSWORD shown on your HERO5 Black.

2. Previous registration process on HERO4 is excluded in the new firmware due to technical limitation. Just like HERO5 Black, HERO4 needs to be connected to R1+ via GOPRO Capture APP with ID/PASSWORD.

3. When you start recording on your R1+, the screen will halt for 1~9 seconds. The similar occurs in GOPRO APP as well, and R1+ seems to require more time to process frames. R1+ will stream normally after 9 seconds.

4. It is incapable of modifying Settings on Video/photo is with HERO5 Black.

5. You can turn the power off the HERO5 Black with R1+ while connected, however you need to manually turn the power on.
