I have a solo that I am frustrated with because I cant launch from a boat. I tried to overcome this by arming it on land, putting it on the boat and then traveling to my destination. After a two hour journey the battery was down but at about half power. I tried to take off from the boat but...

cheers Andrew

Does this mean I can take off in manual and then let it acquire gps (from a boat)? I have seen somewhere a post about a third party beta version of software that allows boat mode. Do you have any thoughts? This is what I am trying to acheive. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wVnmp63jwow

There are a number of videos on youtube explaining how to isolateor insulate the gps with a piece of cardboard. There are also some good videos explaining wiring routing and the interference contact with the gimbal causes. But dont feel too bad. On a cable cam mine took a dive underwater, the...
