    lost 3 props - crashed - 3rd flight of the day - user error - logs attached

    Correct, but it is actually quite easy to slide it forwards, yet not far enough forwards. So that it fails to click into locking position. During flight it can slide backwards enough that connection to the battery terminal is lost, and the drone looses all power. I don't know how to read logs...

    lost 3 props - crashed - 3rd flight of the day - user error - logs attached

    If the battery you used is healthy, perhaps you didn't insert it properly in the drone, so that the drone and battery lost connection during flight.

    Sudden Battery Drain

    Lithium batteries don't have a memory effect like old style batteries used to have. Discharging a lithium battery too far will damage it and perhaps kill it. As stated in the Solo manual, if the battery reaches 0%, discard it. In any other device using a lithium battery, such as a laptop or...

    Flying Solo off the grid - suggestions?

    How about bringing a regular 12V car battery and a 12V to 110V transformer? Then you wont have to alter your 3DR charger. Cheap solution and low tech :) Should give you about 10 to 12 charges from full 65Ah 12V battery if solo battery is near 0% when starting charge. If that is not enough, then...

    Which ND and Polarizer filters do you recommend?

    Hi, After reading on the forum I see filters mentioned several times and that they are smart to use, especially in bright sunshine. I will be doing a lot of videos during the summer and over sea. I am hoping to not spend more than 50-80$, unless I need to og higher to get fair quality filters...
