    How to switch from cable to zipline?

    OK, so I don't fly as much as I should but. . . Please send instructions or a link on how to switch from cable cam or orbit to other smart shots. My A is set for Cable and my B for Orbit and for the life of me I can't access the other smart shots nor remember how too. I have gone into setting...

    Tether System for 3DRobotics Solo

    I normally film from a safe and semi quiet distance. With outdoor weddings the scenery during the ceremony is what matters most, the processional and recessional are key images for the film as it sets the scene. Limited use of the vows or readings in the film. One of the fun parts is the...

    Tether System for 3DRobotics Solo

    I could easily see the advantages for it at weddings I shoot, I would no longer need to only capture part of the ceremony and could use the whole ceremony to edit int their final product. Any idea when and how much?

    Announcement in full:

    Guess it's time to buy more batteries, any chance we'll get another 2 for 1 offer? Or maybe keep holding out on a longer life battery? Seems like with all these new great shots it will use valuable battery life and need more changing.

    Lowepro DroneGuard CS 400 thoughts?

    Thank you for the images, it helps me visualize the possibilities for packing it. I assume you cleared out all the black ties holding everything together? Where did you pack the battery charger?

    Lowepro DroneGuard CS 400 thoughts?

    Just bought the Droneguard CS 400 last night at BB because I could get 25% off the price. Been looking for a YouTube video on packing the Solo inside but can't find any. I haven't tried to pack it yet. Anybody already have one and have suggestions?

    Gimbal charging GoPro Pros and Cons

    So one of the things I liked about the Solo was the fly time usually around 25 minutes per battery before Gimbal. Now that I have the Gimbal I'm down to less than 15 minutes and that seems to be because it charges the GoPro at the same time. Soooo Pro's: Don't have to worry about charing my...

    Solo above wires at wedding exit video

    So lets see, first you want to take shots but don't want to start anything, then you don't want to go back and forth but write an essay. Maybe you just don't know what you mean when you say something. Sorry you didn't like my sample, was just trying to share with a Solo community. My clients...

    Solo above wires at wedding exit video

    As a photographer you should know that there is a difference between arial coverage and land based coverage of an event, ever watch a NFL game with a blimp can't tell who the players are but dang they keep showing up at games. As a professional videographer who has been filming weddings for over...

    Yes, I had permission to film this! Yes, there are power lines below the Solo. No, they did not interfere with the GPS or connections. Yes, I have the Gimbal. No, I don't have a good HDMI connection to see from the iPhone. Yes, that's me in the shade by the building :)

    No Live Feed! Ideas?

I tried: Plug Unplug HDMI 2many times to count Complete shut down of GoPro, Solo, and Controller. App open and close (yes swipe up on iPhone 5s) many times. Double...
