    GoPro 5, Karma, Gimbel on Italian site

    I see a lot of people saying this thing is a Solo-killer. I have not read anything about the Karma having any smart shot capabilities. Without cable cam, orbit, follow, etc along with the GP5 being difficult to change lenses I don't see anything more than an airborne gimbal stick. Also no...

    Autel Robotics X-Star? Did I make a mistake here...

    Wow I feel cheated. I paid 750 for gimbal + drone then 150 for the backpack at Frys

    submerged

    As many issues I've had with the solo and MPCC disconnecting and being forced to fly manually, I've still managed to get multiple takes of waypoints 2-3 feet off the ground, and within a couple feet of myself. This was definitely an error on Solo's part. I would immediately submit a ticket and...

    3DR Solo Version 2.4.0

    I have an old iphone 4 I could use as a dedicated Solo device. Is that too old an IOS device?

    What can be done to improve the hover stability?

    Is it very windy? I have the same issue when it's moderately windy outside. Seems like it corrects itself but only "notices" that it's being blown to the side after it has already moved...If the sensors were more sensitive seems it would have the ability to correct itself quicker?

    3DR, think I'll throwing in the towel

    From someone who works full time in entertainment, I can tell you 100% that if a production has more than pennies to spend on a shoot, they are using a heavy duty octocopter with a 5d or a red, with experienced pilot/camera op crew. No production with any money is going to use a Solo.

    Snap

    Looks very promising. Seems like a lot of things the market needs right now are being crowd-funded. I just pre-ordered a removable, waterproof wireless gopro gimbal. If I hadn't spent so much money on the solo I might have pre-ordered this one too. Maybe if I book a few extra gigs, it would be...

    Autel Robotics X-Star? Did I make a mistake here...

    Gla How nice of you to insult me as well, speaks a lot about the members of this forum (since you apparently speak for all of them) I was completely neutral in my first few posts and was met with nothing but hostility from several members. I looked at their posts in other threads, they are...

    CABLE CAM freezing app issue

    I am having similar issues. One minute everything works, the next it won't connect to the drone, or the app crashes, or MPCC locks up. If I were in a professional situation I would be totally screwed without spending hundreds of dollars on extra batteries. I kind of want my money back but I've...

    Autel Robotics X-Star? Did I make a mistake here...

    If you think I am a robot, why even reply to thread in the first place? Clearly you have nothing positive to contribute, so I have a photo that A) proves my point, and B) shows what I think of your opinion. Thanks for stopping by. /ignored

    Thank you to those who actually replied to me. Im simply asking if the solo is as good as it gets, because if not I will replace it. For the two jokers another photo for them

    Autel Robotics X-Star? Did I make a mistake here...

    I guess after a long time of being frustrated with this thing your attitude diminishes as well. The tags are because I found something, that, on paper looks much better and cheaper than the Solo, and I posted a thread asking if I made the right decision in my choice. You can remain ignorant if...

    Autel Robotics X-Star? Did I make a mistake here...

    "Foolproof" and "functions as supposed to without constant crashes of software" are two completely different things. I am not new to flying drones. I am not putchasing a new drone, just wondering if the price I paid for supposedly the best ones on the market was really worth it, since there are...
