Would better antennas help the connection problem? Or is there a better angle for antennas than the one 3dr recommends? Thanks

I am orbiting in a field to test it. I am always line of site and I pivot my self so that the controller is always facing solo (I don't know how much that helps but I do it anyway ). I get no warnings except for the message you get (or at least I get ) on the screen that says solo is returning home.

Solo Orbit shot does a 45 or so degree arc and then returns to home. Follow me does not work at all. Cable cam works but I can't control camera with control sticks or normal gimbal/ camera controls (yes I do have a gimbal and yes I take out the foam insert for gimbal. )

Cable cam, orbit and follow me

I fly in feilds and near thick trees and plenty of hills. I bought my solo from B&H in May of 2015 but it did not arrive until October and I did not get much chance to use it in the winter. GPS is always strong and I have my GPS mask set to 10 degrees due to the hills (GPS was unreliable when...

I have watched some videos and read about it but I can never get to work even after having plenty of satellites for my GPS (I want to do the cable cam on the orbit but maybe the follow me mode). Sorry if this is a really dumb question and I am just missing somthing key (I have a phone to connect...

Thanks!

I carry solo around a bit and it is really inconvenient to carry solo in the original case when on a bicycle and the backpack 3dr offers is WAY WAY over priced (130 $ to 160 $) so I was wondering if anyone else has had any success putting the foam insert that came with solo into a back pack, and...

I find that launching off of a plywood or plastic sheet (the sheet is about 1.5 cm thick) helps a lot with the "solo will not take off of supposedly unlevel ground " even if the ground is pretty level but that is not always the most convenient thing to carry around all the time.

Awesome job! Were there high winds or was the hill protecting solo from the larger part of the storm?

Definitely the safe option :)

Travel costs are very expensive (especially from the East coat to the west coast of the USA)

That might decrease flight time too much to be effective due to the added weight. I think that it would be very difficult to have the battery detach in flight any way.

Nice! I wish I could go.
