    Need GoPro update for gimbal?

    I am already on version 3 for my hero4 black but the solo app keeps warning me that I need to update / can't control the gopro without the update. If I turn off the GoPro and back on sometimes it dismisses the message and I can control the GoPro. Anyone else experience this?

    All 4 are damaged - 3 completely and 1 very badly scratched. I already ordered spares from 3DR but I am hoping they give me some replacements and diagnose the issue so I am sure it doesn't happen again. I also have some scuffs on the metal housing on one of the motors and I want to be sure that...

    Just had signal loss and crash with my new Solo

    Solo was about 90-100ft up maybe less and I was almost directly under it total line of sight. Possible issues being in urban environment or signal loss due to other unknown issue?

    Just had signal loss and crash with my new Solo

    Was using my iPhone for GoPro view. I had already done the same for 4 other flights. Battery was about 60% on the Solo and 90+ % on controller.
