I don't know, but it doesn't work. Guys I'm just a hack and don't know the tech lingo etc that you guys do but earlier in the year just after I got my solo, I tried everything under the sun that everyone suggested, and NOTHING will work. The ONLY times I've been able to make it work was when...

Hey here is a question..... If I do get the Phantom, I know it comes with it's own camera and all whereas I am use to using my GoPro etc. In terms of downloading and editing I just use Iphoto/Imovie on my macbook. With the Phantom, is pretty much just plug-n-play like when I plug in the sd...

Yeah I've about had it on waiting for this dang thing. Thinking seriously about getting Phantom 4 off amazon and be done with it. I've already missed the bulk of this year's summer fishing season just waiting and waiting, I'd at least like to get "some" offshore video before the fall. If I'd...

To be clear though, it's NOT in 2.3.0-1, correct? I've got that and just trying to initialize the solo and say, just holding it my hand (as in not a stable platform), no dice, only 4 green lights. Then when I put it down on the table, viola, it boots up.

Okay thanks so much for the info.

Then again maybe that was just an estimated date hence the "coming soon" we hear etc.

Chris Anderson was who messaged me, it was my understanding he's the guru but whatever. We exchanged several messages actually and according to him their internal beta testing on it went very well and last I heard from him a few weeks ago was it was being externally tested by some users, and...

Anyone have any inside intel on when the next software update is going to be released? Last month on another blog the CEO messaged me that it was suppose to be May 15th, and it's going to have "Boat Mode" which is what many of us are waiting for. I messaged him after the 15th to ask but no...

Ah. A topic near and dear to my heart. Yes Boat Mode is coming, on another blog the CEO sent me an update just a few days ago and it's in Beta testing as we speak and if all goes as planned it should be out with the next software update anytime w/n the next two weeks. My understanding is that...

That's what has worked for me so far, but sometimes it takes a few seconds to turn off. Not sure why that is.

Oh really? Well here's the thing, and I have the Hero 3 Black for what it's worth...... But for me, my GoPro has always turned on automatically, I always thought that odd b/c in the instructions I read when I first got the solo, they said you had to turn it on yourself. So since I did that...

Correct. Where I need to shoot on any given day is anywhere from 25 to 50 miles offshore. If I had a battery that would last that far if launching from shore, it would need to be nuclear. Lol.

Just this morning I noticed and downloaded a new software update but I don't think this is the one, I don't see anything different.

CEO sent me a message on another blog, it's coming in the next software update, he said 3-4 weeks out is the plan, so that would make it around the later part of April.
