Unfortunately this is the GPS Glitch that 3DR has admitted to having over and over. I have crashed 3 solos after the GPS Glitch took over and locks out the controller. Nothing responds anymore and the solo starts hovering a few feet from the ground and then it crashes itself or Solo takes a huge...

Hi just letting everyone know the extra Gimbel is no longer available. It sold very quickly. I heard the Best Buy warehouse in Southern California has them but won't release them until a specific date to the stores. They also have Solo's in stock along with batteries and backpacks at all SoCal...

I have received three Gimbels in the last week. I have an extra for sale if anyone is local to me and wants to come get it. I'm in Brea, California near Disneyland. I haven't installed this new update yet however I haven't even installed a Gimbel yet it's been a long week. Will be working in all...

Backpack on body photos.

Use 99% rubbing alcohol to clean the boards and electronics and then let things dry. You can use a blow dryer to speed up the drying process. The alcohol will not harm the boards. It will get under the cops and components to help force water out. I own two electronic repair shops we do this...

I just wanted to post showing Best Buy in fact does have these in stock. The backpack doesn't show you where everything goes inside which was kind of weird. I have loaded both my backpacks with two new boxes of replacement rotor blades plus the eight originals rotors that came with each Solo. It...

Hi everyone I picked up two backpacks at Best Buy yesterday. That was after receiving an email on Tuesday saying my order was delayed 1-2 weeks. Best Buy is not canceling Solo or its parts. There are backpacks that just hit stores all over Southern Califonia check this zip code 92821 or 92336...

Hi do not use follow me mode until they fix the GPS glitch and connection losses. There are erratic jerking movements that have something to do with it trying to position itself with wifi and GPS. If you take the phone and walk away from the controller the connection will be lost and then the...

The first response was the canned "GPS Glitch" the admission of the controller RF issue was on a telephone call to me. I don't think they wanted to put that in writing. I will check my other emails and see if they ever said it after mentioning the GPS Glitch. They immediately replaced the Drone...

The GPS glitch is more than just the software. It's linked to a radio issue with the controller. On July 4th my drone flew two flights with no problem. The third flight the drone took off on autopilot then wouldn't hold altitude properly to hover. It began flying erratically from side to side...

Yeah he will hopefully get a gimbal before he goes. I have another 7-days of time share I can use in August I'm debating whether I want to go again or trade my time for 7-weeks in places like Tahiti etc.

You need to enable the gopro auto recording in the solo app. You can even set it to only record during shot modes. I have been starting recording directly on my gopro because videos saved to your phone camera roll have flight data embedded into the screen. I prefer clean video that doesn't...

I already did Maui with Solo on June 19th-27th. I am still editing footage but I can post some real soon. I had some issues with Solo while I was there and was unable to get support so my flight time was limited. Early afternoon was windy almost every day so mornings were the best time to fly.
