    For smart-shot "cinematic" video clips, is there really anything a Solo can do that a Phantom can't?

    You are so right Ian. It is a shame that Jason was let go but I can see it from 3DR's perspective. They thought they were pretty much done with smart shots so they moved on. On the good side, and as you say, just maybe the Karma will be the next "Solo" to challenge DJI and that is great for...

    having video feed problems"

    I have never been able to reproduce the issue without spinning up the props but I will say that just the first phase of arming the props was enough to make it happen for me. I'm betting you could do that in the house, just don't hit fly again!

    3DR Customer Service Sucks

    I sent in an question about a battery running down very quickly and getting and staying hot after 30 minutes after I landed and got an automated reply instantly and then a human reply about 10 minutes later asking for more info. I have little to complain about.

    Wifi Mod complete

    Sorry for what might be an obvious question but I can't figure out what "Before host file, after host file" might mean? The rest is easy of course.

    My Solo vanished

    When you lost video connection did you try an RTH? Once I experienced what you describe with the video/controller getting locked up but you can still fly the Solo if you can see it. Once you lost it, the solution was to to pull the battery out of the controller and reset it. Once you turn it...

    Solo Submarine - Awaiting 3DR response.

    Wow, this was a most useful read! I had no idea that could happen in a headwind. If you have things set to medium (turtle-rabbit) would that pretty much keep you safe? What I learned from this is that full forward in a headwind can lose altitude and if that happens stop or reduce the...

    Another motor pod failure.... and so many more issues.... Gimbal, Solo App, GoPro...

    Not going to read through all of this so if it is redundant, I apologize. It is documented that the camera will never point strait ahead, it is a feature, not a problem to be repaired. It does that so the left leg is less likely to be in the shot. What does it matter anyway? We have full...

    Solo in Auckland New Zealand

    Seagulls seem to be very attracted to the Solo. I have had an entire flock come after it. Very un-nerving.
