Cellular will slow down performance for FPV purposes....You'd want to keep that tablet as clean and clear as possible..This will reduce the amt of lag on the screen. I Have minimal lag with my Nexus 7 but can hardly bear to look away from my bird. Turns out, for me that learning not to look...

Hello! My advice is to start with the little inexpensive guys and dedicate time every day to operation, usage of flight controls and confidence. Little tykes (small inexpensive multirotors or coaxial helis) are going to be much more forgiving on pocket book and the top of your SUV! There's...

Hello, Brian from Vancouver Wa and have an accumulated fly time on my SOLO of...Prob 10 hours..Residential Service electrician here and use flying for more relaxation than anything...I am into photography and am dabbling in ap now, imagine that! Bought my bird used from a frustrated owner whom...

Im having same issue..gopro 3+ silver...As soon as I snap cam into place in its gimbal cradle the recording stops on the gopro. Have set "1 touch" to the on position on gopro so as to be able to activate or de~activate recording..Doesn't work. I get the same introductory flash on gopro screen...

OOOOKkkkkk, Fixed this, as well..Factory reset. SOLO was still keyed in to the previous owners bird...So, after a few tries all is golden, now! Happy rotoring to all and to all a good flight!

After soldering new pins onto my test leads and sharpening them down into points so I could (very carefully) insert test leads in the side of the battery plug that has the retainer tab openings (little holes with metal showing) repeatedly I determined that I could make no sense of the...

Ok....for anyone out there with same issues....I think I may have figured it out.. I needed to solder a new lead on my multi meter and used some hardened steel wire from a large clothes pin then sharpened the contact point so I could take readings of battery from the plug...in the process of...

Wahoo! After a few trys all is well...3dr tech support was helpful as well in figuring this out even tho I bought used..

Oh, phooey, I just noticed you were talking about the SOLO battery and not the controller batt, disregard, thanks!

Greetings fellow SOLOeer' I bought my bird used from a not so happy customer and have issues with charging abilities of the controller. I get mixed voltages when reading from battery and am wondering what wires you fed with presumably 8.3 volts (from 3DR charger)? When I read common on white...

It seems as tho it has a couple extra wires, perhaps for reading battery charge state< My guess is as as long as you got the wires right you could put any 2 cell lipo in there

I'm experiencing same issue...I bet theres an adaptor somewhere that will mate to that batteries plug so charging could be done outside the xmitter. Mine says (reads) charger connected but the green progress bar never exceeds approx. 40% maybe it never states its full unless you get the...

I guess the clue there would be the verbage "temporary password" so.. 3DR registers the bird with the new permanent password that you choose upon setup. Ill try tomorrow thanks pyrate

Oh, I get it...since I am the second owner this bird is digitally inscribed with the password from the previous (first) owner.. so using "sololink" as described in the literature won't do it. I need to program them A and B buttons before I do much of anything else, for sure and by reset time you...

Bought Solo used this weekend and have not been able to connect to the app through my HTC one M9 or my Nexus tablet 7.0 both running android build 6.0 The interesting thing is the chap I bought from had a tablet and performed test flight and he had no prob. I believe he had an iOS tablet...
