    3rd Solo Crash

    Well, I've done it again. Somehow I've crashed my Solo for a 3rd time but this time I have come away with no drone. Some may say I should be more careful but in all reality, they were complete accidents, one not being my fault in any way. The first time, the Solo lost signal, feel into a lake...

    I FOUND MY SOLO

    I wish I would have been able to see footage from the flight, but unfortunately I do not have the "save to camera roll" feature enabled. I often run out of storage on my phone so it just created more problems, though at this time I wish it would have been on! The tracker is a good idea, I should...

    I FOUND MY SOLO

    It is definitely very real. After we recovered the drone, a celebration flip was done and he swam over to get that piece of plywood. We wanted to keep the drone dry so we set it on there. After he took the plywood back to the bridge, he carefully went back up and brought the drone down.

    I FOUND MY SOLO

    Wow thats amazing! We had considered hiring a diver but I am lucky we didn't before I found it on the bridge! Still might go back and give a better look into finding the go pro.

    Had a crash tonight...and the Solo is lost

    Thank you for the advice! That is definitely something I will keep in mind. We knew the water was deep but also should have considered the possible consequences. I think the excitement just got to us in the moment. Thanks again!!

    Hopefully I can get it up and running again soon with a new battery and GoPro! Have a great day!

    Unfortunately no, I wish it would have been easier. The bridge is permanently turned sideways as it is no longer in use, so this was the only option! I agree though, it definitely did add to the dramatic effect!

    I FOUND MY SOLO

    I took my Solo out for a nice flight to capture a great looking sunset. I was flying around this old trestle train bridge(it crosses a river) which looked great with the sun shining through. About mid flight I decided to fly through the bridge a little bit. Shortly after this the Solo lost...

    I FOUND MY SOLO

    GoPro is nowhere to be found. I lost it on Sunday when it hit the bridge and I thought it had fallen in the water. Solo just lost signal and crashed. After discovering that audio on a time-lapse we were taking of the sunset, I realized it did not sound like it hit the water at all. So we decided...
