    Solo Battery Sale 2 for 1... to Sunday Only

    If you login to the 3DR store, click on Account, click on the order number, it says under Shipments where it is shipping it from. In my case it is the Hayward warehouse. Which is probably what it is for most people. Mine is still Processing. :(

    Solo Battery Sale 2 for 1... to Sunday Only

    When I ordered I just added two batteries to my cart. Which gives a price of $299.90. I used Chrome on Linux. I was also already logged into the 3DR site.

    Solo Battery Sale 2 for 1... to Sunday Only

    I have already ordered my two, and so has my father. I have shared the news with friends who have Solos. :)

    3DR Solo simulator

    Installing it now on Android! It seems to require you to connect to your Solo controller's wifi. I was wondering how they were going to stop the world from having a free simulator, and the answer seems to be this requirement.

    Retractable Landing Gear (mod) for Solo

    It seems like it would be easier to 3D print a whole new leg in the same shape as this metal one. You could design it to have the same dimensions at the point of contact with the body, and not require any modification. You could also print it in black.

    iPhone 6s Plus unable to fetch map data ?!?

    I saw something like this on my Nexus 9 with Android 6.0.1 yesterday. I upgraded the app and 3DR services to the latest versions, and have internet access setup through my phone for the Solo wifi network. When I opened the Solo app on my tablet, even though I had working Internet on the phone...

    Gimbal price drop! $199 on Amazon!

    I just bought one on Amazon at the new price. It is good to see the price drop to a price way more in line with it's value.

    Fpv??

    I ordered a Headplay HD that will be in next week. I will be using it with other drones, but I am already planning using it with the Solo. I purchased a 3' micro HDMI to HDMI cable, and then a HDMI to mini HDMI adapter. So I can do micro from the controller to mini for the Headplay HD. As far...

    Solo crash, bent gimbal arm. Occurred on solo app to tower hand off.

    I would download the logs and send them to 3DRobotics. Let them have a look. They can give you some insight into the "seizure".

    Internet access on a Wifi only tablet via phone

    Another idea would be to give the Solo internet access. You could auto-upload logs to a cloud service, pull data for assisted GPS, send real-time telemetry to the Internet, and more.

    Internet access on a Wifi only tablet via phone

    Yeah, I am aware I can tether before the flight, let it cache, and then untether. With that method you only get Google maps data for the area around you at that time. As for the offline maps, yeah, but I have read here you can only do that with maps other than Google maps. I wanted to have...

    Internet access on a Wifi only tablet via phone

    MachWun: That might work, but Android really doesn't like competing network connections. So having the tethering going, and then also connecting to the Solo's wifi will tend to leave you with one or the other. I think this someone depends on what version of Android, and if not stock Android...

    Internet access on a Wifi only tablet via phone

    I have made progress with this on my original idea of getting internet access through my phone on my tablet so that I can get maps and other services while still being connected to the Solo. Both my phone and tablet are running Android 6.0.1. HTTP proxy - works - no root required: I downloaded...
