Meant to say Don't best yourself up" not "do" oops

Manual mode in the wind is hard to grasp if you get hard lateral drift. It seems Solo is taking off on its own and it's hard to figure out what controller inputs are needed. Do beat yourself up. Step one is to take a deep breath and not panic. Step two is climb! Gain altitude immediately...

Smart game plan. I like it.

I love it when people who don't understand mathematics or physics try to use thought exercises to confirm their religious beliefs. I shot an interview with christian scientist who were trying to explain how book of genesis was real and who Noah flood really happened blah blah blah. When I asked...

Good info. I guess I will not mess with the upgrade just yet. What firmware is the go pro running? I have had issues with not getting a video feed even with ios10 and having to restart everything but never when I hit record. That would make record when starting a smart shot option useless.

I would note - I will upgrade to a HERE system with a mast at some point. Why? Because it's just too tempting not to. It's fun modifying a solo. I'm not gonna lie.

Makes total sense. There is a lot to be said for peace of mind. Plus you get support and faster delivery times and if your GPS had an issue it would be easy to return. I get that. I personally have no fear of this GPS mod failing. It may lose signal but only in extreme cases not when flying...

Oh and this My pull the T ant off my 3DR and put it on my M8N. Looks easy enough. Why not. My BN-800 gets loads of Sats but could use a better Antenna.

Y Just tested both my original version A with cardboard mod vs M8N BN-800 I test in an area with concrete and overpass a storm culvert as well as dirt berms and trees. Both performed equally well. M8N gets more sats and is a bit more steady but did lose signal at one point near the overpass...

Dude I've been down this road twice and it sucks. No way to really fix that tiny connector. Just sell the camera as is and buy a used GoPro for $200 ish. Hopefully you can get 100 bucks for the broken one since most people done even use the hdmi port so won't care if it's broken. I'm working on...

I debated buying more because with my luck a new gimbal would come out as a result of the open Solo program that would be more durable and have better performance for same price leaving me with a bunch of expensive spares. A gimbal that can use any camera up to the Solo max weight would be a...

Had same thing happen to me. But was using camera and phone

I found that I lose image too but can still record. It's all about the start up process. I think for me - start Solo. Start controller. Log into Wifi. Open app. When connected just prior to going into the fly section I chant to the GoPro gods. I turn on GoPro. I anxiously wait for image to...

They have jumped in price about $75 dollars. To $125 I was gonna buy more from Frys but they sold out before I made the move. At least I got two. One for each Solo.
