It doesn't look like you have a problem. In the default flight mode, when you push the joystick up you are telling the flight controller to make the Solo increase altitude. The movement of the joystick upward is not an instruction to increase motor speed, it is an instruction to increase...

Why go through this effort? As @makatanav mentions, this function is built into the BMS of the original Solo battery. If you are using an original Solo battery, or a hobby battery with the BMS from a Solo battery, the BMS will discharge the battery to 50%. When charging before a flight, charge...

I don't currently use a trigger. I purchased a Time-Lapse app that is loaded on my camera and can adjust the interval for photos. I then delete what I don't want. I did buy a special USB connector to interface with the Sony, but haven't wired or configured it yet - been OK with the Time-Lapse...

It may be a stuck accelerometer in the flight controller. Try a belly smack as a temporary fix. Search for "smack" and will find many discussions. Permanent fix is to replace the flight controller.

I fly with a home made gimbal and mirrorless camera under one of my Solos. Magnetic interference, and calibration, are two of the challenges of mounting anything to the Solo. Material of what you are attaching and location are important factors. I am not aware of any shielding as an option...

Welcome to the forum. The issues that you are having are not new. They have been known and are discussed in this forum literally dozens if not hundreds of times. Using the search function in this forum will get you the quickest solutions. It also seems that we have had a good number of new Solo...

@Flyinglawnmower is correct - do not fly with a gimbal on the Solo with no camera. Remove the gimbal, replace with static mount or leave bay open, do a compass calibration, then fly. Once you get your camera, put the gimbal back on, add your camera, do both a level and compass calibration, and...

Good news Jim. The 2504MG servo can travel 145 degrees on it's own. This gives you 90 degrees for tilt plus up to 27.5 degrees of travel at each end for stabilization without any modifications or additions to the servo. In addition, this servo has much more fluid movement than the smaller MG90D...

The servo that I use today is smaller (MG90D), yet works and has held up. It did not require any adjustment to get over 90 degrees of travel. My hope in using the JX PDI-2504MG was to smooth out the movement a little more. @jxo - I can test travel of this servo later this week if you would like...

Interesting that you selected that servo - that's the servo that I purchased for that next gimbal that I was building. Also interested to hear what anyone else thinks of it, but I'm going a different direction now. I've learned to dislike servos because they don't have a fluid motion. I'm...

Good luck to you - I hope that you get connected and running. There is a lot of information in this forum to help you.

A search in this forum will find it for you. I just searched and found this link: Manual

Correct, the Solo will no longer be paired with the controller after a controller reset. This is explained in the reset procedure in the user manual. Please reference the user manual.

First: make sure that you are trying to enter the password in the correct place. Sometimes devices will ask for something other than the password and have another link that you must click to enter a password. Second: if it still doesn't work, then do a factory reset on the controller and the...
