    Help! Still no video!

    I'm having trouble with the video feed on my Solo. Had a Hero 3 Black that rarely worked. Sometimes it'd work fine, other times green static, othertimes nothing. Today I bought a 3+ Black in hopes that may fix it. Hooked it up, booted everything and I had video although it was tinted red. Shut...

    That's what I figured. I do Heating and Air and use foil tape all the time, but figured the metal content would screw with GPS acquisition. I'm referring to a vinyl chrome wrap. All polymer content. It's readily available on eBay and Amazon and has an almost mirror finish.

    No Video on Phone with Solo App or with Solex

    Any help on mine? I have a Hero 3 Black and am getting spotty video feed. Sometimes it just won't come on, I get a black screen. HDMI is good on the GP, like I said sometimes it works. I disassembled and checked HDMI connection on the board and it's perfectly snug so I don't know where to look next.

    Smallest packing of the Solo

    Hey all! Does anyone have any recommendations for super compact packing the Solo, batteries, controller, and props? I have a Lowes backpack that works great but I want something smaller either to fit inside my checked luggage with batteries in my carryon or small enough to fit in my carryon...
