    Swift Nav Piksi and EMLID Reach RTK and 3DR Solo

    Honestly, the QX10 might only be slightly better than your Hero 4 with a non distorted lens upgrade. Zoom lens and movable parts in general don't help for mapping and that camera still has a small sensor. If it's cheap enough, by all means test it out and report back! :) Good luck!

    Is it time to unload Solo?

    I have been feeling the same the last few days especially. With no new developments (it looks like) for people outside of enterprise it will only be useful for existing low flight time smart shots and not for an actual survey tool which I had hoped. $9300 US initial and $6000/year doesn't...

    Sorry to hear you are having issues. Can I ask the situation and position of the Solo when you re-calibrated? Wondering if there is anyway something was throwing off the calibration. If not it sure sounds like a faulty controller and you should be getting a new setup. Also, did you upgrade to...

    Tower app. Input GPS coordinate.

    Just in case anyone is reading this at a later date like I am. Tower has had survey feature for years. It is the best (free) GCS app I have found for this task. Cheers!

    A few firework shots with solo

    Usually fireworks are close to public gatherings. I would suggest a note saying the video was shot over private property. That seens really more ok to me, not sure what TC would think.

    Appreciate you posting the results using the new Mapir. Did you ground truth in this case to verify the data? Great post besides all this other nonsense.

    Solo GPS Rev A / Rev B Availability... Official

    Frustrating that you need to have FB to get this info first hand. I even got an email back from Ryan from 3DR last week saying "There will be no upgrades on the GPS for the moment, you can send us the logs so we can review them and see if there is an issue with the GPS." No mention of the shield...
