Solo looses gps and crashes

Solo losses gps and I loose control. How do I prevent crashing?

Best bet is to set your A button to Fly:manual mode. If the bird starts doing funny things in Fly mode (GPS), just hit A and take control. You should practice flying in manual often so you'll know what to do in an emergency.

Totally correct set a or b to fly manual, it's saved my ass at least 5 times already and every single time as soon as I touch the button, I have complete control. Manual is your friend Acro is right practice the hell out of it and switching to it cause in that oh $hit moment it won't come natraully at first. I tried pause my first GPS glitch and it does nothing, manual is great and I use it as much now as I do fly with GPS. You get great smooth shots once you get used to the drift and can concentrate on your camera almost like cable cam after a while.

These drones? or this Solo. I find the solo can take a beating where as a lot of the others are costly with even minor crashes.
