    Copter Lab Gimbals

    I think that is a perfect example of why our government cancelled the contract to build the submarines with the french a couple of months ago and went with the USA/UK instead...

    3DR Gimbal Firmware??

    Yes this sounds familiar. I installed opensolo 4 onto a new one that hadnt had the 1st firmware update. I am too scared to install it onto the one currently running opensolo 3, in case the gimbal doesnt work on that one, and then I am left with no bird that can do my work. Is there something...

    camera shutter button wont work on open solo 4

    Hi all, does anyone know a fix to be able to use the shutter button for the gopro in solex, which after upgrading to open solo 4 is no longer able to be pressed? I can change it from video to photo and back, but nothing else in that area is responding - EV buttons etc. I can get a live video...

    3DR warranty timeframe

    hmmmm just so we all know its about 3 weeks at the moment before an engineer can even begin to look at anyones flight log information. funny thing is they are blaming bestbuy for the proliferation of Solos around, and for the amount of additional crashes that are happening... point a finger, any...

    3DR warranty timeframe

    thanks folks. I am not sure how the time zone differences work as I dont know anyone in the USA that I talk to, but its probably about 1am here when the chat is open during their business hours. I guess its better to try that than get worked up about them not responding in any way at all via...

    3DR warranty timeframe

    Just a quick question on how long it has taken owners to get their warranty acted on and a replacement Solo delivered after a crash that puts your bird out of action. It seems to take an exceedingly long time for anything to happen here in Australia. Had a crash on the morning of 11th of...

    WANTED: 3DR Solo for Aussie Member

    no worries dude. there is a line on the stuff about carrying batteries that says that any LiPo has to be attached to the device, and not apart from it, so that was the thing I thought might be a hassle, depending on how they interpret it. the new solo i got today had the battery in the...

    WANTED: 3DR Solo for Aussie Member

    did some research and apparently australia post has a service now that you can ship US only shipping products to in the US and they will then send it on to you from the US. they call it Shopmate and the rates seem to be ok. bit of a question mark on the transportation of LiPo batteries so still...
