Hey guys, been reading here for awhile, first time posting.
What improvements would you want to see if they release an upgraded solo (not next generation, just an updated version)? I get there are mods for a lot of these, but i feel like these shouldve been thought out better before releasing this solo. While the app/ software has been improving, the hardware needs tweaks. btw, i own another drone w its own sets of problems and i've finally starting flying the solo after months of it sitting on the shelf after the last firmware update, much improved.
1. GPS improvement, maybe some copper added to the gps plate. the wait time to get satellites has slightly improved over time for me, but nothing scarier than randomly losing gps mid air, which still happens from time to time.
2. longer legs. would be great to have more clearance for a $400 gimbal without having to buy those cheap leg extensions. my leg extensions always snap or fall off so ive resorted to hand catching my solo.
3. battery. maybe a battery with more voltage? idk, just anything better than 13-15 min. I would say more mAh, but the added weight would probably offset the extra time you would get.
4. Gimbal/hdmi cable. probably dont have to explain this one.
5. Better motors - less vibrations, maybe improved flight time?
6. stronger bird side and remote antennas. i easily get 500 more meters on my other quad stock
7. actual accessories for the accessory bay? optical flow?
