I've also gone around 4,000 feet with the only upgrade being the FPVLR antennas. The key for me was to take off in a very open space and get high enough so that no trees come between the controller and the Solo. 2.4 GHz signals are just not great at going through obstacles.

I have two Solos and I do oil the bearings. If I go straight up 400 feet I can barely hear my Solo. I'm using stock propellers and motors. At 1200 feet away, you cannot hear it at all. I have other drones that are actually larger with no cameras and smaller batteries that are quieter than the...

I haven't used my Solo in a couple of weeks and today I picked it up. It actually had spider webs on it! Please don't kick me off this forum. I promise I'll fly it again soon. No Solo should ever have spider webs on it.

On some other threads I'm hearing people are getting similar results between the Here and the mRo. From what I'm reading the mRo is more expensive, but fits in the stock location. The Here is cheaper, but once you add in the extras I cannot see it being really that much cheaper. If you buy the...

I use an iPad Mini 2 with mine by rotating the clamp 90 degrees. I'm looking to buy or make a sun shade, it was really tough to see the screen in bright sunlight.

I finally got to take my Solo for it's first flight. A little over a week ago I picked up an open box of the $299 deal for $235 after some coupons I had. I also picked up a 2nd gimbal for $40. So for $275 I have a Solo, controller, two gimbals, a second battery, and spare props. It's winter...

Do the online chat with 3DR tech support on Monday. They can probably get you going.

I picked up a deal at BB a couple of days ago. Open box Solo with the gimbal, second battery, and extra props for $235. It was $270, but I had $35 in other discounts through my rewards account. They didn't have the battery or extra props in the store, but they shipped them to my home and they...

Next step now will be to install the gimbal and my GoPro.

After almost 90 minutes chatting with support at 3DR we got it working. Had to factory reset the drone and controller and pair them again, then force the system update again and everything is working now. It's too wet outside to go flying, but everything connects now.

When I press the pair button, I never get the flashing pair LED or the message on the controller that it detected the Solo. I'll try their live chat.

Its possible the controller and Solo are not paired. I've tried pressing the pair button on the Solo and I cannot get the flashing pair LED.

I've already tried that. After downloading the update, I try to connect, it has me connect to the Sololink WiFi, then it never connects to the controller.

Unfortunately, I still cannot connect. I can connect to the sololink WiFi, but the app never connects to the controller to do the preflight update. I just installed the app on my iPad Mini (I was using an Android tablet at first), downloaded the update, then tried to connect to the controller...

I downloaded the update before connecting to the Solo Wifi.
