I got the Airport Helipak for the DJI, but it fit the Solo just fine. Honestly I'm not sure I see the difference.

I'll give it a shot - Thank you.

Maybe I've been searching badly, but is there a PC alternative for the Tower application that I use to create the dpwp file, then import the dpwp file into Tower? Thanks.

Good luck oyster. Please be sure to post your videos. I live on the Chesapeake Bay myself and would love to see more of it.

1.6.0-beta 2 is what I have now. It crashes still, just less often. If 1.5.3 was the last released version, then it was crashing very regularly. I could cause it to crash every time I turned the video off after recording for more than 10 seconds.

Spoke too early. Better, but not fixed. 3dr services still crashes, just not as often.

WHOOO HOOO. A 3dr services app update was pushed out recently and the S7 is working well again with the Solo. I'm happy.

For $20 I took a chance on the Alfa antennas off Amazon. I have the ability to run the drone over a large body of water and was able to get just shy of 9,000 ft before loosing the signal completely and the drone returning home. What I have found with the Alfa antennas is that they are...

So I spelled it every way, but the correct way. D'oh.

Thanks Pyrate. It was definitely not stabilized after loosing GPS. It was "going bezerk" at best. It wasn't responding to my vertical controls at all and limited horizontal. I read in another post that I can assign one of the A/B button to manual flight. I'm definitely going to do that...

Alright...what is "supposed" happen when GPS is lost? I was flying today in a valley(canyon?) and originally had trouble even getting a GPS lock and when I finally did I took it up and after a few minutes lost GPS signal. At that point the Solo began "falling" towards water and flying away...

Hey folks, thanks for all the help. I ended up buying the Think Tank Airport Helipad. It fits the 15" laptop very nicely. I also have a 17" laptop that **just** fits. There could be a few minor improvements they could make to have a more universal fitting backpack, but it works very well...

Turned off Bluetooth - maybe a small change, but not fixed. I already had all power saving turned off (I don't see any individual settings for the apps). Edit: meant to add that I did turn off background data usage for the 3dr services and solo apps, forced stop, and restarted the apps without...

No fixes in v2.4.0 for Galaxy issue. Still having video troubles on Galaxy 7 and no problems on iPhone 6.

That's not bad. Thanks again for the help - this is extremely useful.
