    Sourcing Solo Batteries?

    You don't have build notes and pics on fitting the BMSone into the gps dome do you? That looks nice and clean. I like it

    Sourcing Solo Batteries?

    Sourcing Solo Batteries?

    I had the same question but I guess my extended clarification is: Looks like buying an after market charger and the long term commitment to using one or another might incur more costs. I see the 10500mAH Li-Ion cells for sale there but not lipo. I do like the sound of buying the BMSone and...

    Seek thermal oem cameras

    Apologies if this belongs in another forum. I am an owner of a seek thermal compact and after reading some posts about the flir sensor options (and the corresponding prices) I started wondering if anyone had looked at the seek thermal cameras as a cheaper option. There is an oem dev kit...

    Open Solo 4 Cell Differential Warning

    What spec/model is the battery to go with that mod? I wouldn't mind getting to work on my battery with a 214mv diff happening

    Can you post a link for the peau lens? Is this for mapping? Low distortion? Increased spectral range (ir and uv)? I have a gp4 coming off ebay and would like to modify either my gp3 or 4 for mapping & ag work Edit...found the lenses but wouldn't mind some input on their choice/usage

    Trouble taking still photos with solex app

    Are you doing a mission or just trying to fire off shots manually while flying (or sitting on the ground)? I've also had a few issues with pictures during missions

    Gopro hero+ 3 black stops taking photos

    Hi all Kinda new here on the Solo scene so I'm hoping I'm missing something stupid simple. I accidentally set my gopro to do 3-shot bursts so my first attempt at running a mission (generated in solex) resulted in sporadic images (in groups of three of course) and gaps where it seemed like...

    Reach, ppk/rtk for solo?

    Good to hear! You have one of The m+ units just plugged in? Firmware recognizes what's going on? Would you be able to share a pic or two of how you configured it?

    Reach, ppk/rtk for solo?

    Old topic but did you ever find a answer? I actually own the reach RS+ (Base station and rover aka survey kit) and after a recent steal on a solo I'm looking at expanding my mapping options

    My SOLO Battery mod

    I like the look and sound of this. Does someone sell the parts for this mod? I'd sure like to read up on it. I was just about to start comparing the specs on my milwalkee 18v battery packs to see if there would be any chance of a mod to convert to batteries available at any home depot... :)
