I setup my DSLR with a 500mm lens outfitted with a solar eclipse filter (for stills)up and my Hero 4 (outfitted as previously mentioned) for video. I did this in Chicago on Lake Michigan on the campus of the Sadler Planetarium. A throng of professional photographers were gathered here for...

I can disagree and I do. As I before there're any number of resources online by respected authorities that sanction NOT.

I can't say that I'd mount such a rig on my gimbal even if I could count roll the drone's pitch. The rig works well owhe when using a GoPro to take video or photos. I disagree with removing the film. Simply put there's no way to remove the film without interrupting the video...

You can easily create a DIY solar telephoto lens for the GoPro that. costs less than $25 with these 4 items: 1. Neewer 52mm telefoto lens (eBay) 2. 52mm to something step up ring 3. CPL that matches the step up ring 4. Solar film. (8x8 on Amazon) Simple instructions: on a clean smooth...

After reading this thread I'm appalled by some of the haughtiness and insensitivity. After making a drone purchase one should not need to bee tech savvy to get the thing to do what it was supposed to do. Further, I agree that 3DR's customer service sucks big time. My done has been...

I've been fighting with 3DR's piss poor customer service for a month and had decided that I'd sell my whole lot of 3DR stuff(s) and buy a Mavic Pro. This video has given me pause and is making me reconsider. They simply didn't do us righr!

Thanks everyone. I figured out how to install MP on my Mac and Android. I followed BruceR's instructions and upon reboot I got a compass error. I did a compass calibration and fhen got "Ready to fly", "Searching for GPS". I thought everything was good but...CALIBRATING SENSORS came...

How s that done? I'vealready reinstalled app on both my Android and iOS devices with the same results.

Andrew, you were right It only took a minute. I posted an S.O.S. with logs. Hopefully, one of the 3DR sages can take a gander at the logs and proffer a solution. Thanks again.

Help!! I flew my Solo one day and then moved about half a mile away to get better shots of Lake Michigan. Powered e ev rything up and the things has been stuck "Calibrating Sensors". I've reset both the controller and Solo. I opened a ticket with 3DR Support but they've been unresponsive...

Thanks for hecadvice, Andrew. I've thought about that but dunno where and how to begin downloading the logs. I've only done it through the app.

I too am gonna go Mavic. I've managed to acquire three Solos and each one has suffered some kind of disfunction/dysfunction. That wouldn't be so bad if the 3DR support team was better. It takes gays or weeks to get a response. For all that I've invested in 3DR I'm gonna get rid of the...

The question is not "illogical". "Worth" can be valued in terms other than monetary. While the drone may be ok in dollars and cents those can be devalued by other aspects. One of my drones has been grounded for about 2 weeks with calibration issues as while I wait for 3DR to review the logs...

Hmmmm. I believe I was clear in my post in stating that vases on the details I provided that it was acknowledged asa hardware failure. My complaint isn't with the failure; I'm sure they will be resolved. It is with he latency, poor communication and just bad customer service.

I hear ya. I'm an IT Manager so I'm well familiar. All of that withstanding , it still is frustrating hat it takes this long for this much to NOT happen.
