Rusty, I has always gotten 12 to 14 minutes max with all stock parts. Much less than what is advertised. It's probably my lack of flying skills. I had a battery that was kept full for a couple of weeks and now it only lasts 7-8 minutes depending on amount of wind. This battery has been...

Fun to watch ! Thanks for posting.

Tom, Thanks for the explanation. I should have read my manual more thoroughly!! I have always landed in FLY and wondered why SOLO is a bit jumpy at times when close to the ground. Some say it's "ground effects" and I thought was something I was doing wrong. I'll use this advice from now on!!!

Yes. Mine powered itself up several times in the last hour. I'm seeing others with the 3+ working OK. All I can suggest is to delete and reload the app from phone. then go through the update process if the controller or app gives you a prompt to do so. After the update today, I have APP...

I made a goof and was not current on my software. I should have checked my version. Mine powers on now after the update. I'll get better at this. Have a good day!

Hi Ryan, My GP H4B if turned off, only shows it's charging when powering on SOLO. I have to turn the camera on manually, AND BEFORE I power up the bird. I always turn on the controller, then the GP, then SOLO, then link iPad to the app. Waiting between each. On occasion, I still have a...

Hank, Any luck yet? This is my most recent adventure Video feed gone My gimbal right after crash was acting like a road kill rabbit, flopping around after a car hit it.

Update. It seems to be repaired, although, I did more than one change during disassembly/reassembly so pinpointing the exact fix wasn't in the cards. 1. Where the HDMI cable plugs in on the board, the "tines' that hold pressure on the cable plug seemed to have been loosened from the flexing of...

Thanks Rich !! I always overlook using this as a diagnosis tool. For sure was a help this go round !!

Ricardo, Same exact thing happened to me today, only my crash was a pretty good slap. Solo came down hard on it's legs and it flipped over. Gimbal went crazy. I replaced gimbal just now. Video feed worked when on the kitchen table, but I have the same green lines during 1st test flight. Tried...

Hi Cynthia, Just like most say on here, be sure all software and firmware are most current for SOLO and the GoPro. Have you always had this problem with no video, or did it just begin? I assume the video cable from the gimbal is connected well inside SOLO? Will it record video and you can...

All my crashes make my stomach knot up, at least until I can get the bird back in hand. I do know the feeling. Your assumptions are correct re; RTH as far as I know. I set mine to 60' for RTH but trees are short where I fly. No idea why yours did that. hopefully 3DR will figure it out. I...

Marich, The number that is on my email is just the 2 basic numbers. 3DR Technical Support Supporting you 24/7 (858)225-1414 (855) 982-2898 Same for yours?

Lance, Crashed as in, "in flight" or crashed as in "crashed hard drive" ? I'm assuming the former? Either is unacceptable. Sorry to hear.

Thanks Ian, I have done all that and more. I also am now talking with support, ONLY via email. Here is what the guy told me and hour ago. Unfortunately, we don't have a phone system to provide tech support, as right now we only can provide support by email. If the amber light is not...
