    Live stream issues - Solved

    Norm- Yes that's normal because you're actually recording just the live feed to your phone/tablet. You're not actually telling the GoPro to start recording (that functionality will come with the gimbal). In order to start recording (with sound sans gimbal), you'll need to manually hit the...

    Backpack

    The tag on the backpack itself.

    Backpack

    Seems to be you're being deliberately obtuse, but whatever. I'm with you, I'm done here too.

    Backpack

    No benefit at all, I'm merely saying that the 3DR is saying the backpack is designed to hold two sets of props total. To your point, yes you can pretty much figure out where things go, but my point is that they're specifically saying that the pack is designed to hold eight props. Now if you...

    Backpack

    I suppose taking into account that the storage for the propellers is intended for props in a box (boxed propellers fit perfectly above the controller). I hadn't ordered extra props when I got my backpack so didn't have the boxed props to try. Although it does bring up a question for me, the...

    Yeah, I ordered mine on May 6th from 3DR, reauthorized my CC and I haven't received anything either.

    go pro 4 black

    After working on my own issue with the live stream not showing on my iOS devices (then, subsequently, on my Android devices). I started having range issues. I would lose signal after about 150-200 meters. As a last ditch effort, I did a factory reset on the Solo and re-paired my controller...

    Has anybody order anything from 3DR web site?

    I got the same. So far I've ordered the Solo & Gimbal, extra battery & extra propellers from the 3DR website. I also ordered a new frame mount, but that ordered that through customer service since parts weren't available on the website at that time. I've only received the frame mount, but...

    Hello All New Pilot

    Welcome aboard! I have had GPS issues but I found that you do really need to have your Solo away from any foliage or structures. When I fly in my back yard, I'm constantly having to wait between 5 an 10 minutes for a GPS lock, but my property abuts a cornfield and is surrounded by some pretty...

    Live stream issues - Solved

    Honestly the one thing I didn't do that I should've done was factory reset on everything. That would've resolved my issue (but I probably would never have identified what the issue actually was).

    Live stream issues - Solved

    At the risk of making myself look like a complete moron, I'm going to post that I have fixed the issue. I figured that with everyone who took the time to respond and offer advice, it wouldn't be fair to not let you all know what happened. I decided to check to see if there was an issue with the...

    motor pods shipping yet?

    I had to order a new frame mount for the GoPro, did it through support and never received order or shipping confirmation on it. I ordered it sometime around 8/1 (I think) and just got it on Thursday (8/13). Again, no order or shipping confirmation, just showed up finally. I also ordered a...

    Live stream issues - Solved

    Well, I called GoPro support and got the charging issue fixed, apparently you can reset it by plugging it in to power and holding the power button down for 10 seconds. That took care of the charging issue. Now I'm back to troubleshooting the live feed issue. So I took the mount off and...

    Live stream issues - Solved

    Yeah, I hate the thought of that, this is my second Solo (the first one I had to send in after one of the motor pods caught on fire). I'll contact support and see about sending it in for repair. As an additional bonus, my GoPro seems to be dead too (won't charge via USB), so I'll have to...
