    Sources for New Body

    Thanks guys. I followed instructions from support for submitting a flight log ticket but I must be missing something. The IOS app connects to controller, gathers logs, then immediately tries to submit ticket, even though it's not connected to a home network with routing to the internet. I don't...

It landed on it's feet but fell from about 70'. I'll be contacting support today to order a new body or...

    traveling overseas with a Solo

    Loving my Solo...and a question

    I bought my solo 3 weeks ago after a lot of research and I'm very happy with my decision! This forum helped a lot and has reinforced that choice. I was surprised by the prevalence and intensity of some of the anti-3DR propaganda on some of the "independent" blogs. As a photographer who is...
