Great deal on props too if you can find 'em in your local store (not shipping them) 3DR - Propellers for 3DR Solo Drones (2-Pack) - Black. I'd say these are your most important "accessory". And extra batteries, lots of batteries!!

Totally agree with the hand-hold/catch by leg landing as stated above. I use this option frequently, but it seems like it's not suggested on this forum very often. I find it super helpful in many different scenarios i.e. when landing in an imperfect area such as if I physically walked away from...

Only veering very slightly off topic. I just saw this: OSEPP Ultrasonic Sensor and wondered how much work it might be to incorporate a DIY solution for use on the Solo that would be of any real world benefit. I'm thinking those of you who do know are going to say it's waaaay too much work (needs...

An interesting fact that some of you might already know that I learnt in my former career flying helicopters is that although lift does indeed increase with a respective increase in rotational velocity, as stated above, most helicopter blade manufacturers minimize this "asymmetry of lift" by...

Your lighting system is really interesting and at a do-able price too, I'm definitely considering replacing my Polar Pros, which are just ok. I like that Marco Polo thing too, very cool; thanks for turning me on to it. I'm sure it works wonders as well, but, at approaching the same cost as an...

Somewhat off-topic as it relates to navigation lights, but similar and haven't seen much posted about it: Not sure if it has been posted here before and hopefully this is not considered a hijack, but while reading this post it occurred to me that a cheap piece of insurance might be something...

...NOT! Anyone else think this is kind of a slightly dumb idea? https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/phonedrone-ethos-iphone-android#/

Hi Nikono. I just picked up that light from Fry's...you can make it blink? I clicked the link but still don't totally understand how. Maybe this is too much for someone without a ton of experience with this stuff (me)? Is it a permanent mod/how would you select between steady or flashing?

Newb poster here (been reading for a coon's age though and flying a good couple of years at least - Phantoms, Iris, Solos etc.). First off, that sucks Beowulf, really sorry to hear about your loss. Not sure if it has been posted here before and hopefully this is not considered a hijack, but...

Cheers Roger. Was hoping to MacGyver something but if all else fails I will probably take your advice. Thanks for your help!

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...

Hey y'all, first-time poster so I appreciate your help. I know this thread is a bit old but I had a question for youse guys...I'm using an 8" Samsung Galaxy Tab A which fits perfectly on the controller's stock tablet holder when rotated vertically. I do however have the annoying problem of it...
