    Update question?

    Be sure you have updated the App on your Android tablet or iPhone. Only updating the controller and solo code will not show the new features in the application.

    Solo went completely nuts!

    I think it was actually your YouTube video I watched today about using Tower with Solo.

    Solo went completely nuts!

    The first time I didn't check the HDOP, but I was attempting a simple Tower flight plan. Had 1 single waypoint to fly to and stop. The next 2 flights were normal/regular fly mode as I've always done before thinking somehow I had done something stupid in Tower, but it was a very very basic...

    Solo went completely nuts!

    What the hell happened?! I flew it about a week ago last with absolutely no problems at all. I try to fly today in very light winds on a nice almost completely clear afternoon and my Solo goes nuts! This video is from the 4th attempt. The first 3 times it went WAY more out of control before...

    Dedicated 3rd Party Lens Discussion (Examples Updated)

    I'll admit I'm pretty much clueless when it comes to lens filters but I know there are significant advantages. I just don't know exactly what the advantages are and what type lens to consider. Is that video shot only with the lens? Nothing showing the with/without comparison?

    Line or Waves in the Video

    Wondering what the waves of lines are in the video I took today. Appears to have something to do with wind but not certain. They show when I'm flying only in certain directions and clears up in others. You can see them in the beginning until I pan to the right. Prop wash or wind noise or...

    Stuck in "Calibrating Sensors" stage.

    Sounds like the exact problem I had with I got my first one, right out of the box from Fry's. Would not pass a level calibration no matter what I tried....and I spent an entire night thinking WTF could I be doing wrong. Took and exchanged it the next day and the new one calibrated with no...

    Unit setting on Controller

    Maybe I'm really missing something simple, but is there a way to change the units on the controller to English/Imperical from Metric? I know there is the setting in the App to change it for how it is displayed in the App, but it doesn't seem to affect the controller display. Seems there should...

    Gimbal facing slightly to the right

    No sorry. I was having problems with it facing slightly to the right. Now it seems to be centered and so far not having any issues. Until I opened the battery case and made adjustments it seemed it was always facing off center.

    Gimbal facing slightly to the right

    I don't know how you can position the cables so they don't touch the solo body and don't touch the gimbal either. It doesn't seem possible. So here's what I currently have. I hoped someone who has had a successful install would actually post some open battery cover pictures.....here are some...

    Gimbal facing slightly to the right

    It might help if someone who has removed the battery cover to check the cable routing could post some top down pictures showing what it should look like. Might just help everyone to see exactly how the cables "should" be routed in a Solo with a gimbal installed that is working properly.

    Brand New Gimbal - Bad First Flight out of the box

    Well, I took all the advice everyone has been great and kind enough to take the time to post, and indeed I think it might be fixed. I believe it was a cable routing issue. And I was extra careful during the initial install because I'd read all about the cable routing issues prior. So after...
