I recently replaced my old hdmi cable with the new flat one and reinstalled everything back together. The gimble now wobbles slowly back and forth and does not hold center. It's as if the motors aren't spinning fast enough to balance out. Anyone else have this issue?

how do you like those T-motors? I've been thinking of changing the stock ones out on mine. Stock runs too freaking hot. Course it could be the 100 degree heat here in Texas. I'm your neighbor, by the way. I live in Carrollton.

I have checked the motors, they spin fine. They are burning fingers to the touch hot from just three minutes of hovering flight. Also, recalibrated everything and I still have the damn drift problem. I never had this before the update.

Just saw this thread as I was searching for motor swaps and realized I have the exact same drifting problem. It started after I updated to 2.4. Not only does it drift feet in each direction at hover, but it also has a noticeable vibration and the motors seem to be getting super hot. It was...

I made my own out of some heavy card stock and it seems to work better. I have noticed a dramatic decrease in the time it takes to aquire gps lock.

Thanks. No, all these shots were piloted by me without using any of the solo programed shots. The tricky part on some of these is knowing how far you are from an obstacle like the flooded boat ramp signs. They were at least 400 foot away and it was difficult to judge where I was by looking...

Yeah. I had the wrong embedded address and couldn't delete the thread. I did get it up on here, though in another thread.

Great video!! I am totally jealous of that location for flying.

Took the Solo over the damage area of the Rowlett, Tx tornado. It was just across the street from my friends 's house. She was one of the lucky ones who didn't get major damage. It was cold and gusting winds around 30mph but the Solo stood tough. Totally got me over the fear of flying in high...

I hope this works. I took the Solo out for some flights over the holidays and made a little video of the highlights. Still trying to learn go pro studio. It has way to many quirks about it.

Had the same thing happen to my gimble. I turned everything on one day and noticed it was off by a few degrees to the side. I began smelling a very hot burning smell coming from the solo. Thought it was the gopro because as soon as I touched the lcd screen, I burned the crap out of my hand. Shut...

Haven't flown in a couple a weeks but started up today and immediately started to smell that overheating smell. Heated the GoPro so hot on the gimble side that it burned my fingers. Now the gimble won't hold steady and smells burned on the arm closest to the GoPro. Still starts and stops the...

Great! Thanks for the answer.

Since I was chastised for starting a new thread about this instead of searching through all the threads on this forum, I'll ask my question here; According to the registration guidelines, we are to have the following... A full description of the UA provided by the manufacturer, builder or...
