    Landing Flip Every Time

    I've had a flip when using RTH and 3dr told me it was due to land detection issues. "When Solo is in RTL and in trajectory tours Home, Solo will respond to YAW but not to Pitch or Roll until is descending to Home position and that's what happened.This caused the Solo to have land detection...

    Struggling to find proper control tutorials

    Here is a list of advanced flight modes and what each one does (make sure you stay away from Acro mode unless you're very confident in your flying abilities) - Advanced Flight Modes | 3DR | Drone & UAV Technology

    Max range...

    I've gotten well over 1000 meters, it really depends how much signal interference is surrounding you.

    bad gimbal footage need help

    Great idea! I tied up mine with some smaller zip ties, but I'll give the hot glue a shot! Thanks!

    a few videos of the Canadian rockies

    I think it would be an issue if I pursued the bird, however I did not. You can boat on that lake, what about boaters spooking the birds? I get what you're saying, but I didn't go out of my way to spook wildlife (hence my height).

    a few videos of the Canadian rockies

    Thank you! In regards to the wildlife, I was over 25 meters above the bird (not directly above) and did not follow it once it flew away. That location is also next to a major highway and I am certain I was at a safe distance away...

    Thanks! Yes, standard lens (GP hero 4 Black). I'm considering doing a lens swap but not 100% as of yet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I am really loving these smart shots with my Solo! Here's a few videos I shot of the Canadian Rockies. Shot these all in 2.7k @ 60FPS. Hope you enjoy!

    Solo flipped itself durning return to home

    Well, 3dr has stated they are replacing all 4 of my broken propellers! Great news and excellent support from them! My RTH had me landing around 15ft from my take off location so I attempted to correct it which caused "Solo to have land detection issues".

    Solo flipped itself durning return to home

    Huh? Sure will, I ordered one already. Pretty displeased with SOLO's GPS thus far, so I am willing to try anything at this point.

    Solo flipped itself durning return to home

    I'll make sure to do a fresh compass calibration. It appears limited to just two broken props as of now, gimbal appears good to go and solo still flies well. All these GPS issues as of late make me nervous to fly solo :(. Can't wait for my M8N to come in, hopefully this will improve and...

    Solo flipped itself durning return to home

    Logs sent to 3dr.... loosing confidence in flying my solo :(. Come in for a battery swap, push my return to home button. I was landing in a parking lot for a flat, level, and clear surface to avoid this.... It lands and then flips itself braking two props. Gimbal was limp, but after taking it...

    GPS Lost on Solo - FW 1.3.0

    From 3dr "I have analyzed the logs you sent and I could see what you described, the log shows that right after turning on the Solo after changing the battery it had 12 satellites, but before taking off those satellites went down to 8. The difference between both flight was the altitude, in the...
