G'day Mate< I had the same problem shipping in two batteries from the States to South Africa. Used Reship who supplied me with a USA Address and they got DHL to ship to me at an extra cost of USD$179.00 Did discuss the whole matter with a Daniela De La Torre of DHL (US) who said if I dealt...

Hi Guys. Please ignore all references to the ribbon cables. I am stupid and the acronym "SNAFU" applies to me!!

Hi Guys, Thank you so much for coming back to me! It is really appreciated. RichWest that is a very descriptive word " Foobar'd'...I love it and it says it all. I did stuff up. Sardg I did have a look at Video #13. I am still puzzled that on my gimbal I have these two ribbon cables yet in the...

Hi GUYS, J JEE, SOMEBODY HELP NEEDED. I was not getting live feed from my camera to my tablet and everyone said it may be the HDMI cable. So I took out the gimbal and the PC board to make sure there was no corrosion. I found FOUR cables, the HDMI and the other small plug BUT I also found two...

Hey Rocky, you are not alone as I have a similar problem - No live feed to my tablet and sometimes I get a red washed out picture and I can vaguely see movement in the background. So My camera is a GoPro Black and after removing it from my SOLO I switched on Wireless on the camera, connected it...

Hi Hansolo808. Thanks for the two links. That cover for the LED's are great and very handy. The neck harness idea is what we all need. Thank you so much and "may the force be with you"

Hi Barney, Wow that is really something. 3D Printing combined with some electronics I will keep this in mind and try it someday soon. Thanks for the link

Woof! Maddog, and this for you too Don.... Yes I have problems seeing my tablet in the bright sunlight as well, a surplus of which we have in this country. This led me to wearing a peak cap to shade the Vufine and then creating a shroud with black material over the cap peak, and across my cheek...

Hi Don, The Vufine+ is an updated version. It has a bigger screen and can be plugged into any cell phone to watch movies etc. I see they sell the plus for $179. I think that bigger screen will be a huge improvement

I have been using the Vufine for a while now on my SOLO. Found that if you can put a shroud around the right lens to exclude all outside light coming in you get a really good picture. I have also found that shifting focus from "inside" to "outside" is quick and I can focus on either quite well...

13nikos62 Thanks for the compliment on the leg extensions. Yes they came out well all thanks to your input. Yes 21 years ago South Africa was an awesome country but at present we do have major problems with a corrupt government and corrupt president. There are hundreds of our people "Packing...

All done thanks to 13nikos62 Took 9 mins per extension really appreciate your assistance

Wow thanks so much for the quick reply. As I type this my printer is working away printing the first of four legs. I dont have a SOLO backpack unfortunately. Cant get them in South Africa. You been so good to me I feel bad that we stuffed your guys up in Rugby and Cricket. Never mind I think...

Greetings to one and all, Do any of you dabble in 3D Printing and perhaps got a Stl or G-Code file for printing SOLO landing legs extensions?? I have a 3D printer and would like to use it to print SOLO parts but I got a lot to learn on how to create 3D models or parts but I do need to lift my...
