Hey there, If you still have batteries, I will buy a case from you. Thats $160 for 4 batteries? Shipping would be to 58201. Thanks!

Has there been an update to this? I still have 10.1.1 on my iPad mini 2 since I know it works well with the Solo. Is it worth updating now?

Oh definitely, I think we are on the same page. I was chatting with a guy on reddit recently who was asking about what to consider if he wanted to fly above 400ft on a vacation to Palm Springs. It was a good opportunity to point out that 400ft AGL shouldn't be done, particularly in an area like...

I'm concerned with a growing trend in the community that seems to disregard or disrespect the restrictions the FAA currently has on where/how to operate your drone. I do understand for recreational users, many of these are 'guidelines', but even as such we should respect abide by them - they...

for the record, the "cheap" neewer brand amazon ones are actually fantastic imho.

I've had that happen once or twice too. A complete shutdown of the iPad usually solved it. YMMV

According to 1.4 of the Operating Manual, the listed temperature range is 32-113* F (0 - 45* C) I have also flown Solo at about -10C, and it performed just fine. But I would not count on any warranty support from 3DR should something happen.

Amazon.com : Neewer® 6 Pieces Professional Drone Filter Set with Protective Carrying Pouch for GoPro Hero 3+ / 4, includes: PL + ND8 + ND16 + ND32 + ND8/PL + ND16/PL : Camera & Photo Pretty happy with this set so far. Polarized, ND8, ND8 polarized, ND16, ND16 polarized, ND32.

It might help if you can point to a specific shot as an example if you can find one, and we could help explain how to replicate it.

Just a quick and dirty edit of some footage taken this past weekend at a winter rally cross event on a frozen lake in North Dakota. I'm working on a more polished video with the rest of the shots, but for now enjoy! I'm loving this Solo drone!

The Hero 4 will not power up automatically either since the last 2 updates, but it is indeed charged while the Solo is powered on. I had a Hero 3+ before upgrading to the 4, but I was able to control the camera through the app just fine. However the settings could not be changed through the...

good to hear! This is good info for future users who might be confused.

You got bamboozled, im guessing. I almost registered my drone on the wrong website and only realized it was false when the charge came up to $25, instead of $5. It looked official and everything. Licensed pilots do not require a test, only a certification from a flight instructor that their...

That is correct. Just go onto the FAA website and register. It costs $5. The 107 is for those who intend to make money (in any way) from the use of the drone. That being said, the information is still 100% relevant and having a basic understanding of the regulations, aeronautical charts...

Interesting, I use an ipad mini 2 and get voice commands, such as "FLY", "RETURN HOME" ,"LAND", ETC
