The complete GoPro cameras are on sale now for $200 off.

Just ordered one for my 2nd Solo. Thanks for the tip

I posted about this same problem a few weeks ago. I'm my case the front right light turned green and the front left light flashed between white/blue and red. I've flown a half dozen flights since then and have had no problems. Odd LED lights combo..warning? (no replys)

Our hard clam survey of Maryland's coastal bays is finally over. Here is an unofficial compilation of video clips that I filmed over that last 2 years, including some Solo shots. 95% of this was filmed with a GP3+B. I didn't get as much Solo time in as I would have liked due to a tropical storm...

My Solo managed to get in a flight today. I was trying out some of the smart shots. Towards the end of the flight while in cable cam mode and continued in manual mode, (before the 25% battery reminder) the LED lights changed colors. I was wondering if this was a warning of a potential problem...

GoPro's ebay store has them on sale again for $329. 1yr warranty,etc. GoPro HERO4 Black Edition Camera Manufacturer Refurbished

Interesting. Washington DC has the most restricted air space in the entire country. Google "drone, Washington DC". All the results say that DC is a No Drone Zone. Despite this information (or is it disinformation?) you are able to fly in DC.... I do believe you! I'm just trying to sort urban...

I'm on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay in St. Mary's county. The Patuxent River Naval Air Test Center is my thorn in the side. Salisbury is 3.5 hours away on the eastern shore. A lot of the air restriction I'm under extends all the way to Salisbury (though it only covers most of the...

I've studied the maps of Chincoteague Bay. There are a lot of restrictions there too. Stay north of Wallops Island secret rocket base (I say it that way because it doesn't show up on any map). Also the Ocean City airport covers northern Sinepuxent Bay. Worst of all, all of Assateague Island is a...

This may seem similar to a previous post of mine, but I want to differentiate it. The other post was about my confusion over air space restrictions. A few nice folks here set me straight and provided me with lots of reference material. I learned a lot. (including calling the FAA (FSOD) when...

Southern Maryland has to be one of the worst places in the country to own a drone. I live under multiple air restrictions. Since it appears that drones are prohibited from state parks and public land use and management areas, I am facing a several hour drive to another state to find a place to...

Thanks for the tip!! Just downloaded my copy too. :D

yeah, I was noticing that too. Hero4: 41.0mm height, 59.0mm width, 29.6mm depth (from GoPro web site) Hero5: 42.6mm, 62mm, 33.7mm (rumored- camera only,) These rumored specs don't match when compared to the Hero4. I guess the Hero5 is slightly larger because the camera case is waterproof now...

This will be my 23rd year on the survey. I'm sort of the media guy for these trips. Photography is my passion and I drag my Nikon kit everywhere we go. This year I figured I'd bring the Solo for a fresh and new perspective. The important thing is that the Solo is not officially part of the...

I apologize in advance for this off topic but relevant post (I don't think this warrants its own topic... yet) I see there are a lot of nice and helpful folks on this forum that are not use to being trolled. This troll is doing it to you all big time. It's sad to witness. The hard part is...
