I'm using an Insignia 8" tablet (Android 6.0.1) with Solo App and just recently downloaded the Solex App, and I would like to know how to cache maps for use of Smart Shots like Follow Me and Orbit, etc, when I am out of wifi range. Thanks you.

Just curious, but if you set up a Hot spot on your phone, and use your WI-FI only tablet for Solo or Solex App, how would the tablet connect to the hot spot? Wouldn't the tablet wifi be bound to the Solo?

Isnt this the idea behind Solex Target?

Just got a refurbished 4 black, with 1 year warranty, for $203, shipped from GoPro on EBay.

Sorry. Couldn't resist. All in good fun. Where do you live? I wonder if it's different in different states.

Lon, what state do you live in? BTW, thank you for the info. Some of us AMERICANS, who spend their hard earned money on things that make us happy, would like an "insurance policy" to help keep those things going, especially at such an affordable price. If you bought the BB refurb, vs the B&H...

I agree, BUT, if you buy a New one from Amazon for $260, you don't get warranty. It's only applicable when purchased from "authorized retailers" FYI, I have a buddy that bought a refurb from BB, and out of the box, it looked better than my New one. It seemed to fly great, and considering he...

Yeah, maybe its just me, but I'd rather spend an extra $50 for a unit from a reputable dealer, with full warranty, and knowing that I'm gonna get it, as opposed to a "Newly Added Seller" on Amazon, and then I'm screwed if something ever happens to it. Sometimes the best price isn't really the...

Because when you buy it from those other retailers, and you have an issue, you are screwed. 3DR wont even talk to you. I know someone that bought the same backpack/gimbal bundle as I did from 6th Ave, and had a defective battery right out of the box, and 3 DR didn't do anything to help...

I've had numerous conversations with 3DR reps and they said that any Best Buy Geek Squad refurbished purchased item has full warranty, just like it was bought new from BB or 3DR. For $199, its worth buying as a back up for sure. battery, $50. Spare Controller, $50. 4 Spare motor pods, $120...

Yes, of course, but that's not my question. Is everyone glueing them just because the stock props are glued? The motors spin correctly to always tighten the props, so there isnt an issue with losing one and they're indexed to not just spin off. I'm only asking out of curiosity, not criticism.

What is the benefit of glueing/epoxy the nuts onto the props, except for knowing which ones go on which motors? Wouldn't a simple black Sharpie handle that duty? Only issue I have with glueing the nuts in is that if they aren't perfect, will it affect balance of the props?

Thanks DaveB, but I'd rather get a refurbished one with a warranty for less money.

Friend of mine just got a BestBuy Refurb Solo for $199 and needs a GoPro Hero 3, 3+ or 4+. Extras aren't necessary. Only looking for the camera and maybe even a battery with charging cable, but not a necessity. Let me know what you have. Thanks.
