    Gimbal question

    I have checked the wires multiple times and they do not hit anything. They are properly tucked away. That was the first thing I checked. I have the 5.0 g weights for the Hero 3+ on it. All of that was done and re-checked multiple times. I just tried the controller battery reset as you...

    Gimbal question

    I received my gimbal this past week and installed it today. I did all the software updates, to my Hero 3+ and Solo. It connects and recognizes that the gimbal is there. I get video feed, but I do not have any control over the tilt. It just points straight down. The toggle on the controller...

    How do you guys feel about the latest gimbal update from 3DR?

    I am fine with their announcement. Being in the midst of a huge house project, it is probably keeping me out of trouble. If they were shipping I would be off flying rather than working on the house!

    GPS Vs Non GPS for New Pilots

    Brand new here and my solo is my first quad as well. Interestingly, I was playing around with some of these modes tonight on my 5th flight, and just now found this thread. Thanks for the explanation. My experience was just as you described. The drift mode is also kind of interesting. I am...
