    Bought a used battery on CL - D'OH!!!!

    If it's too good to be true, it probably is. I obviously know it to be true but still it somehow manages to bite me right in the ass every now and again... After a harvest shoot on a weekend trip to the inlaws' farm and constantly needing just a couple minutes more out of my 2 almost dead...

    3rd Solo Crash

    Well, I've done it again. Somehow I've crashed my Solo for a 3rd time but this time I have come away with no drone. Some may say I should be more careful but in all reality, they were complete accidents, one not being my fault in any way. The first time, the Solo lost signal, feel into a lake...

    My 3DR Experience

    About a month ago I purchased a 3DR SOLO from Best Buy. I was extremely excited to begin creating videos and such with pro level looks. In the beginning the drone had numerous issues but this is to be expected. Every new product has issues and as I went along I fixed most of them. In the end the...

    NAB

    Amazing show, so much cool stuff. Spent some time at the 3DR booth, and tried to get the lowdown on the next update. Even talked to Colin. No word on release date. The tethering system, although very limited as far as range looks promising. They flew a Solo for 43 days non stop. Access to the...
