Specs says payload 700g (gimbal with camera + something). If you change battery to Li-Ion 4s2p you get extra 100g. Removing gimbal you have 800g payload. The question is how much you need?

Original batteries are old (unusable) and I did upgrade to BMS One and simple (no smart) Li-Pol or Li-Ion batteries. It works very good for me. I mainly use 4s2p Li-Ion batteries which are 100g lighter than original one. BMSOne – the universal BMS – Madhacker.org

You have to turn on location (GPS) in your phone otherwise solex will not connect to the drone. Colours red and green in front and yellow at rear means that drone isn't ready to arm. It's waiting for GPS fix or has any problem. When it gets GPS fix yellow change to white but still cannot arm...

Would be good to hear from someone who uses my recommendation and gets improvement arming the drone. Please write.

Thanks for the reply :) As I said before the stock compass definitely has 90° roll angle and there is an error in documentation. I am 100% sure about it. This is why your drone does not recognize 38 as correct orientation and change it to 29. I had the same behavior as yours before. I have...

Hi, I would like to share with you my last investigation about the "compasses inconsistent" problem. It is due to bad orientation of the external compass (one in the leg). There is another one inside the cube which is correctly oriented however differences between them are too big. The problem...

Hi @makatanav, could you please share your changes in extSettings.conf file? I am trying to use time lapse with #MAP2 but when I change CAM_SERVO_ON i.g. to 3 sec timlap, 3DR does only one photo then goes back to CAM_SERVO_OFF = 1500 μS. I have found only one solution so far using the...

I had same problem with triggering Sony QX1, Sony A5100 and Seagull #MAP2. However I have changed RC7_OPTION to 9 (camera trigger) and now I can use long hold "Pause button" = triggering, then short hold "Pause button" = returning.

Nice job @makatanav thank you for sharing. I am going to trigger Sony a6300. Could you tell more about parameters you used after updating your drone to OpenSolo? I think RC7_Function dos not exist any more, dos it?

I agree, quality control is easy to improve, should be better. My company is doing 3D models from laser scanning but also from photos. We were looking any good small drone to improve our site work. I chose 3DR Solo because this is very good piece of equipment. I added Sony QX1 camera with Sigma...

Hi all, I am a new user of 3DR Solo drone and I would like to share my recent investigation. My problem was that controller could not recognize gimbal and tilt didn't work at all. I have checked gimbal with other Solo drone and evrything was OK. I knew that something wrong is between the gimbal...
