    Strange Object

    You're flying into the sun and it looks like a lens flare to me. It's hard to see the distance it traveled in this video. You took a 2.7K video, rendered it down and then went through the youtube processing. What editing software do you have? If you have adobe after effects you can export still...

    Gimbal first flight

    Do you have another battery, if so fly both and send the logs showing the time difference? I had one that was only giving me 8 min flights. I made a flight with both batteries and sent the logs to 3DR. They gave me an RMA to exchange the battery. The GoPro doesn't use much power, so having it...

    Advice on indoor flying

    I'll second that Rich! I flew an R/C blimp for a hockey team and the air currents are a big factor. The crowd puts off heat, ice is cold and then the HVAC system creates even more chaos. The air in the arena is constantly turbulent with all the temperature differences. If you're wanting to get...

    Cheap Gimbal.

    I bought a cheaper gimbal to use temporarily. It wasn't as smooth as the solo gimbal. I was able to assign a servo channel and piggyback the power from Solo. However it still shook a little and caused magnetic interference. You have to move it very far forward and low to avoid getting magnetic...

    HELP! wifi mod not reverted before recent update. no connection

    Well I made a bonehead move and didn't revert back my wifi mod before I did the update. Now I cannot connect to Solo with the controller. I had a custom wifi password stored and my guess is the passwords don't match? I'm hoping thats the only problem. I tried to reset the controller and it still...

    Video edit from Solo

    I shot in 4K 30 fps with no filters, special settings and the original gopro lens. I edited with Premiere pro and added a filmstock effect to fix the footage. The blue on my boat was washed out due to the sunrise and the Lumetri filmstock fixed it up. A link to how it can fix a video is below...

    Video edit from Solo

    Here's a little edit I recently put together. The solo flies great in tight places and the gimbel is buttery smooth. There was n post stabilization.

    Solo above wires at wedding exit video

    Looks like a good clip to add to a wedding edit. I don't think DodgeP understands that this type of shot is used in a full length video. If you shot this in 4K you can scale it larger and add a little slow rotation, side movement and scale it back to 100% just as you pull back up again. That...

    Video - Software mod to increase radio range - hostapd.conf

    I used the solo tweaker last night and made a test flight this morning. The flight path to test the range was the same before and after the update. I'm also flying in an area 30 miles from civilization without any wifi conflicts. My range before the host file was 1800', today I made it 1.2 Miles...

    Gimbal's at Best Buy

    I found mine in Laredo TX, it's where I bought my solo. When they restocked the Solo with another one they got the gimbal with the order. They locked it up and not many people knew it was there. I had to ask for the specific Sku and then they started the hunt for it. After a half hour on the...

    Gimbal's at Best Buy

    I bought my solo at a Best Buy a few weeks ago. No gimbals on the shelf and they did not show up on a search on the Best Buy website for store pickup. However when I called the same store and asked for the Sku 5352061 they said it was in inventory and can look up other stores in the area. So try...
