Semper Fi Bro, I guessed your previous occupation to a tee. I guess the built in brain fizzle matched us Been most of those places mentioned plus good old S.E. Asia. I always enjoyed flying Grunts around and listening to some of their stories (Good Ones) Good to meet you Brother. Take care and...

Yes, I'm trying hard to de-militarize my decision making parts of my grey matter also. 20 + years of flying Huey's in da Army and 3 tours to wonderful middle eastern countries and their delightful cultures and beliefs has cooked the grey matter close to a boil. Your a good sport also and enjoy...

In response of the dude throwing his solo: In his video, he is in a public park with innocent bystanders in harms way, and he laughs about his so called accomplishment. Watch the video on YouTube. I have flown quadcopters for the last 15 years and NEVER had a situation where tossing a quad is...

Just kidding. the wrap job looks better than the one I attempted and I ended up throwing away cause I screwed it up about a 1000 times trying to get it "JUST RIGHT".. also the OCD didn't help... And I am proud of being mentally challenged. My therapist says I am getting better now and can go out...

Try crushing one of those little blue pills and spreading the resulting dust over the limp gimbal, paying careful attention to the hdmi plug and port in the GoPro. Notify your family doctor if the gimbal works for over 4 hours... Sorry, but the Devil made me post this response. Nothing worse...

10-14 minutes with a gimbal and GoPro and with "real flying". I mean some hovering, some full right stick forward backwards, left and right, changing altitude, panning ,camera gimbal tilt being used several times during the flight, is just about average when landing with 15-20% left in the...

You can get all you want off of EBAY for around 14 bucks with FREE shipping. Just go to Ebay and do a search for 3DR Solo HDMI cables. They are the factory OEM thick cables that came with the Solo.

I have flow both of my Solo's (Yes I'm a dummy and purchased two of them when they were over a thousand bucks with a gimbal--- I still love em'!---) in light to heavy rainstorms without any problems. I even flew one day where the rain was so heavy that after the flight the battery holder under...

Forget about a super cap wired in parallel with the main battery.. the super cap will be depleted at the same rate as the main battery. Might be enough to keep the other stuff powered up for a few seconds during a battery swap..Maybe yes or maybe no. Someone will have to wire this up to find...

What I really want to know--When does throwing or tossing a VERY DANGEROUS 4 bladed upside down LAWN MOWER necessary? It's a risky thing to do and WHY??????????????? I think Tom Hanks describes it best in Forrest Gump--"STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES"

Looks like my 5 year old did the vinyl wrap!

Just to let you guys know that PAL and NTSC output are for the video out of the gopro in usb output of ANALOG VIDEO only. The HDMI output (which Solo uses) does not have anything to do with the PAL or NTSC ANALOG video output, So switching to PAL has nothing to do with output video to the Solo...

the image file from Google drive is corrupted. waisted over an hour for nothing anyone have the good file?

No, Solid WHITE in front, solid red in back is normal. blue in front is a undocumented failure code, I suspect that it is no wifi connection between controller and Solo. I have a Solo with that problem after 3 perfect flights, now I am waiting for a complete replacement of the main board in the...
