    Solo Performance Settings For Optimal Gimbal Stabilization

    Hi, I have a Solo with the Gimbal and a GoPro Hero 4 Black. When I go into the "Performance" settings for the Solo with the app, it doesn't seem to matter what speed setting I use for "Flight" or "Camera Pan" because there's a message at the bottom that says "These settings will not be optimal...

    Landing in Manual Mode and Stopping Motors

    Here is a summary of the results of my experiment with the latest firmware update as of 5/15/2016. When I landed the Solo manually (no GPS lock), I pushed the left stick down slightly (not all the way down), so the Solo approached the ground slowly. After it touched down, the motors slowed...

    Landing in Manual Mode and Stopping Motors

    This is good information. I appreciate your responses. I will try this later today and post the results of the following experiment: To land Solo in manual mode, hold the left stick in the down position and continue to hold it in the down position after Solo has landed on the ground. See...

    Landing in Manual Mode and Stopping Motors

    Seems I have gotten 2 different (but similar) responses. One that says to simply hold the left stick in the down position, and Solo will detect that it has landed and turn off the motors. The other response says to hold the left stick in the down position and then push it to the left to turn...

    Landing in Manual Mode and Stopping Motors

    I have searched around in the discussion threads, and I haven't been able to find a definitive answer as to how to land and stop the motors (quickly and easily) when flying in manual mode. Sometimes when telling the Solo to Return to Home when it has GPS lock, it will lose GPS lock and switch...

    Just a word on the gimbal

    I've had to double click sometimes but not all the time. It seems to be somewhat random with me.

    Gimbal - "Manual Camera Controls Error"

    Hi, how do you remove the battery tray? I removed the 4 screws underneath the battery, and most of the try lifts up, but the end near the GPS antenna isn't moving, and I don't want to force it. Thanks!

    Gimbal Question

    I reinstalled it making extra sure the cables were out of the way. The gimbal is no longer randomly moving around and appears to level itself out correctly on initial power up. When I try and adjust the gimbal tilt speed, it doesn't seem to have any effect, and I'm getting a "Manual Camera...

    Gimbal Question

    Thanks for your reply. It's randomly tilting to the right and left, and it's also randomly tilting up and down. I'm going to remove it and then reinstall it making sure the cables are out of the way. Did you also get the gimbal errors, and then they went away after you reinstalled it?

    Gimbal - "Manual Camera Controls Error"

    Thanks for your feedback. I took it off and reinstalled in twice attempting to make sure the cables didn't interfere, but I'll take a look at it again.

    Gimbal - "Manual Camera Controls Error"

    I just received my gimbal a few days ago, and I'm experiencing an issue with it. I updated all of the firmware in both my Solo and my GoPro Hero 4 Black, and when I power everything up, the GoPro randomly starts moving around. The green light on the back of the gimbal comes on indicating that's...

    Gimbal Question

    Hi, I just received my gimbal a few days ago, and I'm experiencing the exact same issue. I updated all of the firmware in both the Solo and my GoPro Hero 4 Black, and when I power everything up, the GoPro randomly starts tilting from side to side. The green light on the back of the gimbal...
