thanks Jon, good to see you continue to support the community... I'll keep them then! The biggest thing for me was having the new batteries strapped in with velcro, just not the look you want for certain types of work or public scenarios. I see there's a solution for that now so hopefully if I...

Hi everyone, I haven't been on the forum for 4 or 5 years, I don't think I've flown my Solo (or any drone) for about that long, and as I'm moving house, I'm looking at my Solo fleet and infinite spare parts and wondering if I should throw or give it all away (if anyone would even want it)...

I know this is a bit subjective, but in the strongest wind conditions where you would still fly the solo with GPH4B without flinching due to the gimbal, how slow do you fly to ensure close to straight down images?

cheers bruce, using yours as the minimum specs, i just bought this one that's bigger and more powerful, so hopefully i should have no issues running the tab with it. https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerCore-Portable-Capacity-PowerPort/dp/B01K6TA748?ref_=ast_sto_dp thanks to all for chiming in

Does your battery pack now charge you tablet when in use at a similar rate to a wall charger? If so, what pack do you have?

Yep, I run quality cables. All that's on the tablet is drone apps, it's my dedicated solo tablet, but I find it desirable to run full brightness outside when flying. The GPS chews power too.

Thanks Rob. I have this setup as well, I use it when I can get dropped off and left by a vehicle. What I'm looking for now is for when I have to hike everything in myself.

Anyone using a external battery that actually charges an 8" tablet? Im using a galaxy tab s2 8.0 and i'm looking for an external battery that will charge it for extended time in the field. None of my current cell phone external batteries do much (even a samsung one) apart from barely holding...

Interesting they use solo, but scary as *#:k that even us pilots will soon be out of jobs

Yes, fairly obvious this one post wonder is just stirring the pot

I found if you start in sport with bottom down left you can triple the flight time and get 40 minutes, as it tricks the bladder sensor, thus holding out longer before RTP. Really handy when there is a cold breeze.

thanks, I'll look into those commands

Now the batteries are getting old, has anyone seen any of the site scan Solos up for sale? I'd be keen to get one

That sounds good. I always wanted that feature. How does one read them in? What file types does it accept?

I could be missing something really basic, but I want to fly to a point, loiter one second, take a single photo, fly to next point, loiter one second, take a single photo etc. etc. I have only ever used distance triggering, but using that for this particular application will result in time...
