    3DR Solo (Manufacturer Refurb) + 3Axis Gimbal + Extra Battery + Accessories

    Any possibility to you sell the gimbal seperately? My hdmi port broke off and I am not sure I'll be able to fix it. Funny second row,of tabs underneath the port that I can't figure out how I would solder without better tools.

    The Solo Gimbal and the Code that Drives it. Hmmm....

    The gimbal acts like its sleep walking until the controller connects.. might just be a part of the way it all ties together, but it seems to suggest the 'magic' happens on the controllers IMX6... maybe to reduce load on the Solo companion computer? I kinda assume the little circuit board behind...

    GPS coverage planning software/site

    Back 15-20 years ago we had to deal with GPS signal being scrambled by the US military.. and there were way fewer sat's. I would be bashing my way through the tree's with a backpack and an antenna on a pole. Poking the pole up through the branches. You wanted to make sure you could get something...

    Searching for GPS even when I have 10+ sats

    Loosely related... The mRo has a multiple frequency antenna, but many of the M8N GPS you can order have a $5 cheaper antenna that is only good for GPS... No mention of that in the specs though... Was true in my case. Seems common but not commonly known.

    App Crash Woes
