    However, I still like this better for the solo.

    FPV system for Solo?

    I use a HK quantum headset with some of my other fpv quads. .. works great and the best part is that it cost around $60. An extra $25 or so will get you head tracking if you are so inclined. Word of advice..... don't tell your kids it will work with their xbox or you'll lose it forever.

    Well I did it :( On my 3DR Solo

    Oh well. ..just one more list to be on. .. personally I think it's a little funny that I don't have to register this: or this: or this: but my quadcopter (one of the least hazardous things I own) might pose a threat so it should be watched carefully. ..lol

    Final version of Solo fpv monitor

    Yes, I have the HDMI in for the solo and a standard av in for my other fpv setups (In the picture I'm using the 5.8ghz fpv from my blade 350)

    Final version of Solo fpv monitor

    For sure the most effective. They are available they're called Automatic Antenna Trackers (AAT) A little pricey for me. Will run you between $300 and $350. I guess in the scheme of things, that's not to bad but, I'm having a hard time justifying the expense seeing how I only have about $6 in...

    Final version of Solo fpv monitor

    Doesn't seem to... I try to stand off to the side a bit for a clear line of sight between the controller and the quad. But I've yet to see a major difference. Ideally like Erikgraham said, I'm sure it will work best with an amp and an antenna on top of the vehicle.hummm... I bet the wife would...

    Final version of Solo fpv monitor

    Nope, just a spare afternoon and two kiddos that wanted to help "Make something cool" Also worth noting... We decided not to mention to my wife what we did to the back of her car. Lol

    Final version of Solo fpv monitor

    I have one input channel for the hdmi out from the Solo controller, and also a standard input I can use with my other FPV setups. That picture was from the 800tvl camera on my Blade 350.

    Final version of Solo fpv monitor

    Why do I have to be a pilot? -explained

    My mother-in-law is a certified pilot. The other day I offered to let her fly the Solo, she looked at me and said "I have no idea how to fly that thing" I'd wager the public is much safer with myself behind the controls than with her. .. even though I could technically apply for my 333 exemption...

    H4 Silver issues..........anyone else?

    Humm... glad somebody else mentioned it. My hero 4 silver freezes up all the time when I'm playing video out from the micro hdmi to a tv... wasn't sure if it was a finicky GoPro or possibly the frame rate that the TV didn't like. When playing back to a TV from the HDMI do you plug it in first...

    Low Level Solo Flyaway's/Crashes : now 7 times, anyone else?

    This has been my best guess. Seems to be worse if I'm near any structures or the car. So if I had to guess I'd say solo is picking up some sort of GPS signal reflection and then trying its best to reposition itself based off of this erroneous data. I'm not sure why solo is so much more sensitive...

    Low Level Solo Flyaway's/Crashes : now 7 times, anyone else?

    This is by far the best option. I have had the same exact problem with my solo multiple times. Seems to be a GPS lock problem at lower altitudes when you don't have a clear view of the sky to either horizon. You can have open sky above you but the solo seems to be very picky with its GPS. Seems...
