    I'm building a car charger & I've got a question

    I just want to put banana plugs on a solo charging cable. Which is positive and negative?

    Tower version

    So I'm testing tower beta for the first time tomorrow. I have a job coming up and I'm flying three waypoint missions on 3 different drones. The other two are veterans to autopilot missions but not so with the Solo. Is there something over my head that I need to configure before I put the Solo in...

    Here GPS

    I'm not arguing with you. The drone is a vessel to get my camera in the air. The Solo is a good one. I want to make it a great one. I have no idea what you think my intentions are or what I'm attacking here. I don't have to use the Solo in my rotation. I choose to and want to know what my best...

    Here GPS

    So is the original Solo battery the only/best option?

    Here GPS

    Compared to 15min.

    Here GPS

    Photography, no more than 1000ft away, no higher than 150ft. Landing around 38% to 40%

    Here GPS

    No I have my speed sliders set for what I feel is best for filming. Another thing, the past two days (3 batteries cycled twice) I've only got 10min of flight time. I know I'm trying to blame a lot on a gps but things change and you look for a common denominator. I love the gps wouldn't go back...

    Here GPS

    That usually causes you to drop altatude. The drone wasn't being pushed down. I was coming down fast intentionally. I just never got the rocking before.

    Here GPS

    So I installed the Here GPS and it's great. Today I was descending straight down quickly and the quadcopter start rocking like a ship on stormy waters. I guess with mast on the front, the aerodynamics have changed and flight characteristics are slightly different. It's just a small thing. No...

    Camera Image Off Center

    When I'm actually doing a job, I'm on the phone with a visual observer and never look up. I even use vr goggles from time to time. Sometimes my jobs are over 3000ft away from me. (Not using Solo on those) But depth perception always gets me flying los.

    Camera Image Off Center

    Illusion wins! I went back to my parking deck this morning, lined the drone up, set my stuff in the truck and walked down to the bridge. The closer I got, the more over the river I was. I have been a commercial pilot for 3 years now and depth always throws me. Any tricks to that?

    Camera Image Off Center

    60fps. It must be an illusion because when I flew back at me, I was centered. Most of the time, on close up shots, I have somebody else watching the quad. I guess I'm just finding out what it looks like. Lol I'll do some tests in the house tonight.

    Camera Image Off Center

    Thanks. I see what you are saying. However this is an area that I fly almost daily after work. I am on top of a parking deck looking down on the bridge from about 150 to 200 ft out. So I'm right there. The odd thing thinking about latency is, when I fly way past the bridge and get the bridge...

    Camera Image Off Center

    So I was out flying this afternoon with my main focus being a footbridge that I have to shoot next month. I was filming with the GoPro Hero 4 Black set at 2.7K, medium angle. As I was filming close ups of the bridge, I noticed that to get the center of the bridge center shot, the Solo was way on...
