    Android Tablets for use with Solo

    NOOB first video lake jet ski

    I always liked over the water aerials. Certainly not perfect, but that why I am here. I'm reading and learning! Thanks for all the help and suggestions, everyone! I read about changing field of view to get rid of props and legs. The solo has a hard time keeping me in FOV when I 'follow me'...
