Hi everyone! I installed the mRobotics GPS receiver module board today. Got everything put back together fired it up and quickly got 19 satellites LOL. Is that about par for the course? I don't know if that's gonna make a lot of difference but at least I have a lot of off the planet birds...

I took a Solo for a flight a week ago. Everything went perfect. Flew like it suppose to - did a nice orbit shot around water tower. Then hit a home button and it landed exactly where it took off. At that point I had about 50% of battery left, so I decided to fly some more. With 12 GPS...

I crashed my Solo and have decided to part ways with the parts, and 3DR, instead of buying a new one. I had only flown my solo a few times before the crash. Device would power on and connect in fly mode after crash. The shell was basically destroyed, but other parts in pretty good condition. I...

Hey everyone, Just upgraded the GPS in my 3DR solo and have my REV B GPS for sale. I'm located in Dallas, TX - can ship, or meet up.

I've purchased the mRo GPS and 3DR shield and have watched 2 videos on youtube showing the installation. Looks very straight forward. However, I'm unable to even get the black plastic cover off the solo. I've pried the sides up and the videos then show it simply pops up and off. Mine is...

I wound up tearing her down and wedging a piece of corrugated cardboard between the chip and that copper UFO paper. I didn't pick up many more satellites than usual but on 6 sats I flew out 1200ft.... Previous record was 650ft (distance). I didn't even run it out all the way, wound up hitting...

As a cinematic tool, I can look past the limitations of sharpness, color bit depth, controllable DOF, and all the other limitations of the Solo/GP platform. What has me hating life (and its by no means exclusive to Solo) is the accuracy of manifesting GPS coordinates. OK, Ok.. I get it that...

For those doing mapping, this looks very interesting. I follow Dennis on Youtube and he posted this a few days ago: Will be interesting to watch how it progresses. Emlid Reach website: Reach – Emlid

4k, gps, altimeter, accelerometer, compass, with data overlays. Oh, and stabilization. $499 VIRB Ultra 30 | Garmin

possibly stupid idea... If I used a GLONASS/GPS booster for the iPad connected to solo, would it help the SOLO GPS in anyway or does that work standalone? Garmin GLO GPS for iOS & Android

Hi there, Well I have a bit of an issue here while I wait for a mini8 to arrive. You see over here in Australia the lock on is not so good with the default and so I had gotten what seemed to be an M8N NEO ublox, only to find that it wasn't and was counterfeit. So I decided to put back the old...

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...

As release of the pixhawk2 gets nearer, it looks like they have a pretty robust GPS unit coming for it (GPS Module - Pixhawk2). The internet seems to be short on details of this, but I'm already wondering if it could be adapted to use in the Solo. If nothing else, having the GPS and its...

Hey guys, I've had my solo for about 6 months now and have been super nervous flying in some situations that may be totally unreasonable... Now this hesitation stems from low flight time and two crashes (low level impacts). I am hoping to get some good feedback from some of you who may have...

From Vu Tran 3DR Hi All, I'm sorry for the long delay in getting back to you all regarding the Rev B GPS boards. Like Ian's post, this one is titled: Good News, Bad News. Bad news: Unfortunately, we will not be making the Rev B boards available as a separate purchase. We've deliberated...

what for settings you use? I think my settings are not bad, but not good at all. I use following settings: PRT (ports) UART 1 Protocol out UBX Baudrate 38400 RATE (Rates) Measurement Period 200 ms Measurement Frequency 5 Hz...

I'm writing this post to see if anyone else is thinking the same thing I am. If you live in the wide open spaces part of the country, I'm glad for you. If you live in an area with trees and with Wi-Fi populations I'd really like to hear what your experiences are. I live in the Pacific...

All, We are planning to use the Solo for video shoots of vehicles. They are larger vans. We plan to fly through the vehicle itself. Does any one have any advise as to this? How the drone will respond? Will GPS be affected? Manual mode is too unpredictable (the drone seems to float to the right...

Hello guys, For my master thesis and interest, I am planning to place smart phone on the Solo. Basically, I want to connect this phone directly to Solo not through the Solo controller. The phone will get the commands from GCS over the GSM and forward these commands to Solo drone. In this...

Hello all. I had been watching the solo from the start, every step of the way, and had been very dissapointed in what I read and watched... The first issue I saw was that the gimbal was taking FOREVER to come, and when it didn't really work well, I have given up. Then I found out it was the...
