    Lost screw end for device holder on controller

    Wanted to report back... this thumb nut works pretty good for a replacement: McMaster-Carr A bit tricky to tighten all the way, a longer pitch would work better. Also, a bit more surface area of the nut to screw would be ideal. Also should note, I had a prop that was super tight (due to a...

    Lost screw end for device holder on controller

    missing part: Image 2016-09-10 at 6.20.02 PM.jpg contacted support, unfortunately they do not offer this as a part, only the entire device holder (20$?). 1) Think I could find an alternative part to replace the missing? 2) I thought I read somewhere there is sturdier replacement holder...

    Lost 3dr solo

    I disagree. This solution works for when batteries/devices/apps are turned off or drained.

    Lost 3dr solo

    I wanted to revisit this post and say 3DR replaced my gear and I am flying again. However, I am running into what seems to be a common issue of not getting any video feed. All software (iOS app, firmware, GoPro) is current and up-to-date. I am confident in that the GoPro was mounted/connected...

    Lost 3dr solo

    Like most online community forums, there will always be 'that guy' that may very well have a wealth of knowledge on the topic, but just doesn't have the tact and consideration for beginners. With that said I appreciate the posts in here and DMs from those that are helpful and a bit more...

    Lost 3dr solo

    My RTH never worked either. I also expected the 'smartest' drone to return to its launch point, or at least land or just simply drop if communication breaks for a certain amount of time. Currently in conversation with 3DR on replacement options. Right now, they are only offering to repair the...

    Lost 3dr solo

    (Haven't posted in an online forum for awhile, forgot how quickly one can encounter such negative vibes and trolls. Thanks to all who's helped, and best of luck to those who have bummer vibes on here.)

    Lost 3dr solo

    Ruining this hobby? This was my attempt to get into the hobby. Ruining it seems a bit much, no?

    Lost 3dr solo

    Yeah, a bit disappointed as the Solo is coined 'the smartest drone', as well as being sold at pro-sumer stores like Best Buy. The marketing for the Solo and the literature basically says read the manual and watch the flight school video (which I did both of, twice). I took that even further and...
