Watch to see if the controller is disconnecting from the Solo, mine would do this sending it into RTH. I'd have to yell out a warning to other flyers in the area as the Solo would land in front of me and I still wouldn't have a connection to it. I had one episode where I had to reset and re-pair...

I liked the Solo and it's potential but.... My experience was exceptionally bad. From never even seeing a gimbal to the multitude of unresolvable support issues (that I still see today with the folks I fly with), my faith in the Solo is non-existant, I'd never buy again. Actually, I said that...

I would have full GPS lock and regardless my Solo would go RTH. Being that it was a HUGE liability issue I gave 3DR support the chance to fix it which they couldn't and sent it back. Saw a guy at the local drone races with a Solo and he had it go into RTH close range so it's still not fixed.

Try with the tablet not in the controller dock. Just a suggestion.

I had this issue back in August and let 3DR know how to fix it. They blamed it on LG's Wifi. You'll need to use a separate device to update. Also get ready for constant disconnects at random while flying causing the Solo to RTL on it's own. This was such a safety issue I ended up returning it.

I did a dispute through Paypal and won it, full refund for my Solo w/gimbal. Also followed up with a BBB complaint to which they never responded... not good for them. I wouldn't give them or 3DR a dime.

I gave Solo a fair chance but ended up sending it back. Multiple contact with 3DR support on the issues I was having was a waste of time with them blaming my tablet, the temperature outside, too much wifi in the area, etc. This weekend I was participating in a drone race event where I saw a guy...

The RMA process through DLSR Pros is a little slow. Today is two weeks they've had the Solo and I just got the e-mail confirming what I sent.

My flying partner has an Inspire, talking about being envious. That beautiful Inspire video feed, range, and rock solid connection is nice however I can't get past the horrible support DJI has given me in the past (3DR is in this horrible support category as well).

I had nothing but issues with the Solo. Always polite and patient with the support folks and was never offered a replacement or a solution to the constant disconnects between the Solo and the Controller, I also had constant disconnects between the tablet and controller. After getting no action...

Got mine today as I was taking the Solo to the post office RMA back to DSLR Pros. The envelope was ripped open and only had a sticker inside. Had to chuckle at the timing. Feel like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders getting rid of this POS. Nothing but non-resolvable issues and many...

Updated, thanks for the reminder. I have an F550 w/Naza 2 which I can't complain about, it's been flying for nearing 2 years without a mishap. Any RTF from DJI is a customer nightmare just like any RTF from 3DR is. The APM on my Talon Tri however is fantastic.

I'm done, got my RMA from 3DR and waiting on DSLR Pros to tell me where to send it. Back to flying home built video platforms and my ZMR250 racer until another worthy machine comes out. Anyone in Las Vegas want a 3DR Solo battery for 100 bucks, barely used!

Amazing!

Yes, I have disconnects all the time. My controller RSSI is below 60 and I'll get a disconnect from the Solo in flight (embarrassing when I have warn the flight line at the field that I've lost control and even when it lands in front of me it still hasn't reconnected) and depending on which...
