Had my first loss of control today flying outside a building. In this, I'm just climbing - no input on the right stick at all. At some point, my solo starts moving to the right for no apparent reason. I didn't get any GPS loss or loss of controller signal error, and video was streaming the...

I like your way of thinking!

I'm thinking maybe start out in Fly:Manual but have Stabilize assigned to my "B" button so in case it gets wacky with detecting altitude I can take full control and just bring it down more softly.

So would the altimeter automatically detect that, and the Solo fight against a force pushing down like that? If not, I guess the best bet is to make sure I'm fairly high up, and be prepared to hammer the left stick upwards if it starts dropping unexpectedly?

So basically, use Fly:Manual, be prepared to push back against light air currents, keep LOS and be mindful of orientation, and I should be OK?

Just to be clear everyone, I'm not planning on flying this thing during a game - just over the seating area (which will be empty), aiming the camera at practice on the ice. But not until I have flown it enough in a completely empty arena to where I'm comfortable controlling it. I am proficient...

Doesn't exactly get me aerial shots. If anyone has any advice on indoor flying it'd be much appreciated!

Where am I going to get a pole and a separate gimbal?

Checking the manual it looks like as long as I let it get GPS lock while on the ground, if I switch to Fly:Manual and lose controller connection (happened once before outside) it will try to RTH, which is good. Ideally I won't lose connection and it'll just fly smoothly in Fly:Manual. If we...

Return To Home.

Should I even risk using GPS even if I can get a signal though? Just afraid I might have one of those GPS-loss flyaways.

Obviously if they're developing a lidar camera add-on, the Solo is supposed to be able to fly indoors. My hope is to get a few shots inside the hockey arena where I work - there's lots of open space, and the odds of me hitting a wall would appear to be fairly slim (I'm a very slow and cautious...
