Just adding a comment to track this thread. I have the same question about what this means for Green Cube. I'm also very interested in if this is going to mean we can use Solo code on an octo-copter.
Hey P2P. Do you know what the checkbox for "Lock copter orientation" does? You get the option when you create a survey mission.
I can't find anything that looks like it in the parameters list

The only reference I found to it was a post in...

I haven't tried a GP3. I tower sends the shutter...
When flying Tower survey missions I always reset the FS_THR_ENABLE to "2". This allows the mission to continue if it looses connection to the controller. The first couple of times you hear that Solo lost contact it causes kinda a pucker, but you get used to it. I haven't had any problems. Solo...
One quick and easy thing I do is to pull the battery out of my GoPro for a second then stick it back in. This has solved video problems often enough that I'll sometimes do it when I'm mounting the GoPro in my gimbal.
When I'm experiencing video problems I'll pull and replace the battery as a...
