Checkout this funny new show on Drones/UAVs basically a light side humor oriented animation series called Bad Drone. This show was created to bring a funny side, good picture and interpretation of UAVs and Drones and to counter all the ridiculous poor press targeting drones/uavs in generalA...

WAIT...Too many bugs. Takes too long to calibrate even in FLY MANUAL. Main thing fr us is it is incapable of flying from a moving platform like a boat. Has to be perfectly still. Video feed was intermittent would have to recycle restart 50% of the time. The concept is GREAT, crash recovery and...

No matter what I do the SOLO will not initialize from a moving platform like the boat we were trying to launch it from. It has no DYNAMIC HOME POINT capability at this time. AS far as I can testify to no other drone we have owned has had this problem. If you have a FLY MANUAL mode then it should...

Well I hear all of you and yes it's ridiculous to have our hard earned $$ tied up for so long. My biggest gripe with the SOLO is you CANNOT USE IT FROM A BOAT OR ANY MOVING PLATFORM. It will not intialize. Their slick ads show boat shots but it has NO DYNAMIC HOME POINT. It must be still and...

OK so I just found this post as I could not launch the SOLO in any MODE including FLY MANUAL from a boat while filming in the BVI's. The SOLO would never initialize "Startup Successful". Just 4 solid green lites. Would have been nice to know upfront as we went with the SOLO over our DJI INSPIRE...

OK I have the same issue all 4 lights solid green but get this, IT ONLY DOES THIS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO FLY FROM A BOAT. As soon as I got back to land it would always initialize. No airports around to force a disable. Eeverytime I hit FLY it would change to LAND on the controller display. Same...

Been flying the SOLO on St. Thomas VI. For some reason out on a boat no GPS LOCK. So changed to FLYING MANUAL mode it would not take off, props would not spin up and it kept saying LAND. I thought maybe because I was near an airport but it did the same thing at sea 8 miles away and out of the...

Anyone out there knowledgeable on the max payload characteristics of the 3DR Solo. Also CG does it need to be balanced so the CG is pretty much in the center spot of the SOLO's fuselage? I have mounted both a GOPro more forward to avoid the legs better and also mounted a Kodak SP 360. Flew it...

hmm I just heard 2 weeks from now. Who has Gimbals right now?

Great advice. One thing you may want to note is that HOME will not work while it's in manual and other advanced modes. Rule of thumb is to never lose visual sight of the aircraft but sometimes it happens and that's when you need to enable FLY/GPS mode so it will return to it's home point...

OK I actually put my Inspire1 side by side to the SOLO and the Inspire acquired GPS in 40 seconds while the SOLO kept going in and out including Magnetic interference and finally after almost 4 minutes locked on GPS? Concrete surface with rebar in there too. What is the quickest setting or...

Guess us DJI pilots are use to the good ole start and stop motors via the 2 joysticks. Mine did the same thing took off started to drift. Manually took it down to the ground from only a couple feet up. Held the throttle (ascend) all the way down. By time I went for A+B Pause it flipped and the...

So until the Gimbal ships I basically start recording before takeoff and it records the entire flight then stop it manually when it lands. Got it...Record to device means whatever the IOS or Android device sees it can record I'm guessing at 720P. Thank you for clearing that up!

I never see the RED record button to trigger record on my iPhone. Can see the video but no where onscreen to control the goPro? Am I missing something obvious here?

Actually my goof it's not a height issue it's width-length issue after looking at the spec on the Backpack. Length Width Height " Length Width Height mm 3DRSOLO DIMENSIONS 13.75 x 13.25 x 7.50 in 349.25 x 336.55 x 190.50 mm 3DR...
