Solo, and all other quads that I know of, have fixed pitch props. Reduce the RPM and lift is reduced. PERIOD! There is simply no practical way to reduce the sound generated by the prop. It is the rotation of the props and engines that make the majority of the noise and sets the pitch; the...

My wife Chris found the music and did the editing in Apple's iMovie program. There are some really good, although basic, tools in that program that make the assembly of a movie fairly easy. If you are a Mac user but not up to speed on iMovie, there are really, REALLY good tutorials for this...

GPH3B was set at 1080/60fps, protune off, medium view. Processed with iPhoto on a Macbook Pro. I did not use GP Studio. Video came straight out of the camera and I used no filter. I was really impressed with the way the GP handled the high contrast shooting into the sun. The shadow detail...

Comments welcome.

Hi to all, I am having an issue with my GPH3b not recording when the app indicates it is. The app record button is flashing but the camera tally light is not flashing and it is not recording. In another instance, when the record button was pressed, it changes to a small square then...

This is exactly how I think it should work. I have continuing issues with GPS lock flying in the forested, hilly area of North Central Tennessee. Reading the comments about how the RTH works your information on climbing to altitude above the takeoff point in order to store the position makes...

If you have a good GPS lock at the point of take off, the auto pilot will store that point as the RTH location. What happens if the GPS lock it lost during the flight and then regained?? Is the original home point overwritten and replaced with the point where the GPS signal is regained?? If...

Had a major crash the damaged the quad, gimbal and Gopro. I am now setting up an entirely new system after the most unbelievable support from B&H Photo. Had a totally uncommanded fly-away and I had all new equipment in 10 days. They exchanged both the Solo and gimbal at no cost and I...

You are correct about B&H. Over the past several years they have accounted for more than $15k of purchases and I have never had any kind of issue.

The field I was flying at was a grass strip with absolutely no obstructions. I can see no reason for any loss of either control link or GPS. I don't actually think GPS was ever lost on the last flight but can not be sure because I had no data link to the copter.

I was flying my Solo in a giant open field. It is actually a private airstrip and I had received owner permission. When the quad was about 100-150 feet away at an altitude of 50 feet I lost the link. She did just what she should have. She climbed to 100 feet and returned home. During the...
