Man, I did a double take. Haven't been back with my solo yet.

I only use the sorbathane on the mainboard between the battery tray and the board, 1/4x/1/2x1/2" precut package of 36. It seems to use the mass of the battery through the sorbathane to deaden some of the high frequency vibration.

Sorbathane on the main board, ribbon cable hdmi, sheathing removed from control wire bundle. I generally use Mercalli 4.0 on all my videos but not on this one. That being said; Any hard stabs at the throttle or wind over 7 or 8 knots from the side do induce a bit of jitter.

5th or 6th flight after isolator mod, I didn't use foam inside the isolators but the balls I received from 3dr were quite a bit stiffer than what was on my gimbals originally.

interested in the m8n cable, just let me know were to send a self addressed small shipping envelop and some $$. soldered my first solo, but your cable looks a lot cleaner than mine.

finally installed a neo m8 in one of my Solo's, it's been sitting in my shop for a month now. Picking up satellites app. 10 percent quicker, more importantly here in the pacific NW, I'm able to get sufficient lock in small clearings surrounded by 150' + trees to launch. In the past I've had to...

Really looking forward to cable cam w/ freelook, right now I get a slight "ratcheting " movement in pitch as I move away from a POI, sort of seems like GPS position is updating every 1~2 seconds, luckily it seems to mostly effect my white quad not my Solo,s.

Good to hear, sent a ticket guess I,ll wait for an RMA

constant calibration error on my backup solo, per advise from 3dr tech, I've done multiple factory resets, one time it seemed to fix problem. Problem returned on next startup, anyone have similar? and more importantly has anyone fixed similar.

received an e-mail today asking me to verify e-mail address prior to sending an e-check, (credit card used on original purchase no longer exists so refund will come to me) maybe 1 hour after verification Anthony, the person I talked to about the refund, called and thanked me for the...

continuing my jitter eradication campaign at work yesterday.

Just a couple quick shots on initial install, no real jitter unless I lean on the throttle pretty hard. put it on my second Solo and get a "solo gimbal not found" message. 3DR pretty sure its a gimbal control cable solder issue so RMA'd and will probably be replaced. Luckily its just the spare!

any notification's, status, Gimbals?
