Ha Yeh that's what I thought, but no I only have two Batteries with me and the used one was on the ground, but when i bought the supposed flat battery home it wouldn't charge because it was full. Yes I tend to agree that it was just one of those things, why I wrote about it as I have just...

Very Clever

Hi all, this is very strange but i flew this morning landing with about 20% battery left, powered down and swapped over to a freshly charged battery (was done the day before) and powered back up only to find about 2 led's lighted and the controller telling me insufficient power to fly, so i...

Thank you, very much I actually had it set to WIFI and GPS so have changed it to GPS only and will give it a go tomorrow. Yes it made me wonder about the SIM card cause GPS has got to be as accurate if not more so. Thanks again.

Question you guys, Does follow me only work with a SIM card device? I have an android device with GPS and it does the maps just fine but solo won't follow me using it, stick the I phone 5 in and follow me works. What's the reasoning behind this does anyone know because the GPS updates just as...

Yes just imagine a bit of road rage after bumping into the guy in front......

I just up.oaded 2.3 Android and it went through the process as normal everything looks to be good, can't test it as it 11:15 pm, so weather permitting tomorrow see what happens.

The interesting thing is you saying the cable is fairly thin and yet i dont know what the Solos consumption is all up say on climb but it will be fairly substantial so the tether has to handle that plus a bit in reserve I saw a Video of it Flying with the tether and it had over an hour up they...

Well you nearly have enough to rebuild which is good, but it will be a shame if 3DR go down this path because I think the product is damm good, I have had the white things, early ones and they all came to grief, but touch wood solo hasn't misbehaved yet and as a platform for filming is fantastic...

100 feet cable gets awfully heavy and control is difficult because the tether tends to alter the flight characteristics like a pendulum.

One wonders down the track if they are going down the corporate road what will happen to the domestic support ? One does think about what is going to happen after the next couple of updates with the promised new smart shots?, is that the last of it then or what? Hope not, I must admit...

Yes it sounds like the rest of the year will be updates great unless they start charging, but I got a feeling it will be passed on .

Absolutely, no reason not to .

Yes thats the place Relish3D thanks.

It happens Marty there must be something with very close tolerances that just makes it or doesn't, Last Year mine was the same but I had my Solo a good month before i got the Gimbal stuck it in and no vision got an exchange and its been faultless since and I would say yours must be fairly recent...
