GoPro Hero 3+ Settings for Aerial Video

We recently picked up a DJI Phantom II with the Zenmuse H3-3D gimbal and a GoPro Hero 3+ Black (B&H kit which included everything we could ever want) and I did a test flight the other day on campus (video link below).

My settings for the GoPro were the following:

Resolution: 2.7k
Frame Rate: 29.97fps
FOV: Medium
Protune: On
Color Profile: Flat

I was wondering what settings others use for their GoPros and what people have found to work for them. I'm not entirely sold on shooting "Flat" as I have gone away from this in my normal shooting with my AF100, but it was an option so I tried it out.

I am going to fly some more this weekend and hope to tweak my camera settings as I have a shoot in the mountains of Prescott, AZ on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The test video we shot was color graded and was 29.97fps in a 23.97fps sequence so it is slightly slowed down. Unfortunately, I forgot to change my sequence settings to 29.97 because I was so excited to see the footage. The video also has no stabilization effects applied.
