And the other way meaning, throwing it into the air, so it has technically been flown and taking crash footage in slow motion. Make a video of this entire ordeal ending in Man v Machine...Premeditated Drone Murder. And then I will consider this a win.

I would love nothing more than to take that orbit shot. if not for the pain and anguish of being defeated by technology(again), but a little for regaining the respect I lost buying this thing when things were tight. All the wife's seen me do with this thing is stay up late swearing at it. One...

I think I will call you "Jon The Patron Saint of Drones". Seriously, you either saved my sanity or the Solos life because I was ready to have a meltdown and throw it in the trash. Not sell it. I wouldn't wish this grief on anyone else. I'll give your help a try. Thanks again St. J. !

And when cell phone connected to the sololink's wifi the solex app no longer opens. I just get a little number 1 on the apps icon.

Where is this step on the app? "With your device connected to the internet, go into the Solex Firmware Updates menu." Why can't I see what you're referring to? Thanks

Hi Jon, First, I would like to thank you for your reply and good nature. I have truly tried to follow the instructions and couldn't get to the "packages"( and that's what I mean by frustrating. I don't have a clue what a package is). Here's a huge favor I have to ask before I consider the solo...

Thanks Bruce. The Solo controller mount will not hold a large tablet. Can you recommend a smaller tablet or phone? Much appreciated.

It's a shame someone couldn't make a video tutorial on how to ake this insanly complicated open solo process easier (some of us just wanted to fly a drone...not get a migraine). I mean "come on, there's money in you tube these days. And based on the amount of people that got suckered into buying...

Please help with ways to update the app on the controller. Thanks!

I took the advice to make my never flown Solo work by getting an older android device to get the solo app working without constant crashing. So I went and picked an old android device, BUT in the playstore on this old device the solo app isn't even available. Please help. I've been trying to get...

I finally figured out how to get sidepilot installed and connected to solo. But now I'm stuck with the controller needing updates from the solo app that I so obviously don't have.. OMG...this is driving me nuts! And to think, I bought this thing to have a relaxing hobby. PLEASE help out an old...

I give up! It's too complicated and now I've spent 72 hours and $400 on a complete waste of time and money. I was so excited because the build quality and GoPro mount was exactly what I wanted. Guess I should have bought a DJI drone after all. ANYONE WANT TO BUY A NEVER FLOWN SOLO?

Thanks for the thread heads up. I'm as new to this forum as I am to drones. I'm beginning to think I bit off more than I can chew now. Especially since I just want a drone to use with my GoPro for some fun. Here's the best answers I have to your valid questions: 1. My bad, I meant to say I...

Just installed Solex app on a never used Solo and when prompted it just keeps going to wifi sittings and won't open. Anyone have ideas? Thanks!

I have no idea what missions are since I'm just a recreational flyer, and just want a to have the FVP screen and controls.
