    How to properly land manually?

    This makes sense. Thank you! I am certainly still in the operators with minimal experience category. So to clarify, if I use the fly button to take off, fly around for a bit, take some video, then come back in for a landing, lets say im landing on a driveway, flat, smooth, minimal wind, to do...

    How to properly land manually?

    While I dont disagree that the closer your aircraft is to the ground the less accurate it is likely to be, I have certainly seen way more posts about crashes from manual take off and landing than I have from auto takeoff and landing. The auto takeoff and auto landing features were designed for a...

    How to properly land manually?

    I have never understood why anyone would land any differently than what andrew posted above. I have flown 10+ times so far since I've had my solo and I always bring the solo to around 6-8 feet off the ground then press and hold the fly button and let it land itself. I see no reason to land any...

    Spark Has Arrived. Product Review Video on Spark

    I think this is really cool, but the price point is a little high at the moment. I'd consider it if/when it goes down into the $200-$300 range. That is one of the negative things about the Solo in my opinion is the size. My girlfriend's dad has the mavic pro and it is so nice how small it folds...

    Looking for a 3DR Solo

    One question I do have is regarding the panoramic photo mode. I had the gopro on video recording and I started the panoramic photo mode, when I put the SD card in the computer there were a bunch of separate 1-2 second video clips.. If I was to have the camera in single photo mode, would that...

    Looking for a 3DR Solo

    Thanks for the warm welcome! I have taken the Solo out 5 times so far, no issues. This is the first drone I have owned. First 2 times I kept the altitude limiter to like 200 feet and just got used to the camera controls and general flying. The last few trips I have done I raised the altitude...

    Looking for a 3DR Solo

    See my attached invoice. It was a special sale from B&H. As you can see I got the 3DR solo with Gimbal, plus the extra battery for $299. so you are technically right, I didnt get it for $300, I got it for $299. So please stop using all caps and yelling. It isnt necessary. :)

    3dr solo just fell from sky to Ocean

    Why have you not posted the logs in the forum? You are fine with posting the shortcomings of 3DR's customer service to help other people out with similar situations, why not post your flight logs so we can learn from that as well? And in regards to you stating you think they will soon go...

    3dr solo just fell from sky to Ocean

    Ok...? So they asked for more information to troubleshoot... Did you provide them that information? You have still failed to acknowledge the fact that people on this forum asked to view the logs so they could help determine what went wrong and you still have yet to post the logs.

    3dr solo just fell from sky to Ocean

    You do realize that they are removing themselves from the consumer drone space right? Why would they continue to dedicate time and money to providing top notch perfectly quick customer service when they aren't even making money in the consumer drone space anymore? The fact that they still have...

    3dr solo just fell from sky to Ocean

    Your specific drone was defective, not the entire product. Do not assume that every drone 3DR made is defective because that is simply not true. Literally any drone can malfunction and gravely hurt people, that isnt limited to just this drone.. That is why you are not supposed to fly over...

    Do you think I can make it?

    Just a thought, could you hike closer to the spa/intended target, or are you unable to physically get any closer than where the picture is?
