Why does that remind me of this?

If the battery dies doesnt that mean its...ya know? Dead? So if we drain any lithium battery 100% then their not gonna recharge and if they do they wont fully charge if much at all? Nice pic of Mokoliʻi too btw! Im not feeling too bad for you though by not having a functioning UAV in Hawaii...

If theres room to cut deeper into the foam on backpack I was thinking about using a bit or wrapping some sandpaper to an electric drill (lithium :) and going to town...

Is there a solid "how to" video to for Orbit without an internet connection? This is and "follow me" are the only two I havent tried yet. Im not sure about how accurate using our fingers to select a spot on a map to orbit around will be? Im also using a tablet without internet and so far I...

We are in a new era of products where not only is competition so fierce its hard to navigate truth vs. fiction but that also yes...We should occasionally ask ourselves "What leads us to become so frustrated with a product?" Years of consumerism with things that had been developed for a very...

I was asked to recalibrate which Ive actually never done. I went through both calibration procedures and today I managed to get a battery swapped in the same session without any prompts! Not sure what solved it but I was very close to returning my solo and Im glad I havent had to now. My...

Just heard I may have to return my solo for this which is exactly what I dont want! Ugh...Im finally a very frustrated 3DR customer after having alot of patience with them and all their pitfalls. They offered me 2 options. A new one from China or a refurbished one from wherever that is...

Constant level calibration prompt on second battery is BAD! Please help. Again. I took the solo home and started about 45 minutes later and walla! FLY! No calibration required.

I went through multiple attempts to restart and work around this. One thing I havent done now that I think about it is let the remote start all the way up...(green bar) then turn on Solo. I really doubt that will do it. What does work every time? Waiting a while (about an hour) and starting in...

FYI. I was caught off guard by a feature which I was told has been added into the Solo in a recent update. The rotors will automatically shut off if you do not press "Fly" or use the throttle to lift off. It happens after 5 seconds. I thought it was some sort of glitch but is in fact a safety...

Im having the same level calibration issue after adding a new battery. But my question is how is it resetting after waiting a certain amount of time. I can turn everything off and it will always ask to calibrate level on a battery in the same "session" but I wait a while and go to fly and its...

Im reluctant to calibrate my level after hearing some people say is made matters worse. I get the re-calibrate prompt after putting in a second battery...almost like clockwork. In fact now that I think about it I have had it tell me to calibrate level after every new battery... As for going...

LOL! I guess I got carried away and what would happen to a melting plastic drone falling out of the sky? I still wouldnt be surprised to hear airports install them around runways. Maybe airliners will be built to take even bigger strikes...Who knows maybe one day it'll be routine for us to...

Can you explain for a total newb how to interpret this graph? I can see the Solo signal is higher but what tells us the field is too crowded to fly? Ideally this will be implemented into Solo's app with a rating to tell us more about our chances for a good safe flight... Thanks!

The solo does handle winds better then the Phantom. Ive seen this first hand. The Solo weighs significantly more and now with a gimbal and the heavier GoPro4 black Im actually amazed at its weight. This isnt a light UAV...One reason I believe motor pod improvements are planned will be to hold...
