+1 I was thinking the same thing :)

Native android apps are built using Java, while native iOS Objective C and more recently Swift with Objective C. While similar, they are still apples and oranges. Sometimes a developer needs to learn a new skill set to make apps available on both iOS and Android. Some developers (like me) use...

I'd be interested in your experience with it. From the pictures it looks kind of flimsy or cheap compared to the Solo or the Phantom.

Yuneec just announced a new version of the Q500 that has 4k video capabilities. It's supposed to start shipping in mid-July. http://www.horizonhobby.com/product/multirotor/yuneec-q500-plus-bonus-buy/ready-to-fly-15086--1/q500-4k-rtf-with-st10--cgo3--2-battery--steadygrip--case-p-yunq4kpus

I use ProDrenaline to remove fisheye from my P2V+ videos. ProDrenaline also has preset rendering for many of the different GoPro cameras and settings. ProDrenaline also allows you to do some basic color corrections, white balance, contrast, saturation, etc. I also use it to remove the fisheye...

Absolutely! And that's why I have not pulled the trigger on buying a Solo just yet. I love the features listed for the Solo, but I can't see going out to fly while worrying about whether or not the aircraft will malfunction. With my P2V+ my only worries are pilot error. I fly over the ocean...

That's what I'm getting at. What are the options? I think for some of these issues a firmware update is a band-aid and not a fix. I could be wrong, but as someone who writes software (and apps) for a living I'm leaning towards hardware/quality issues - unless they have some really, really bad...

That's simply unacceptable. It's not like this pilot was trying to fly down alley ways in NYC. There was a house and a few trees in the area. The general purpose of these types of aircraft is to take stunning photos and video and you won't get much of that flying in an open field. They say...

The K-Index was extremely high yesterday afternoon. On most days it's not an issue, but I make it a habit to check it before I fly. I have noticed on days where the index is extremely high (in the red on the chart below) that I have a hard time maintaining a solid GPS connection and can lose...

As Is stated, any changes would probably come in the first FEW production runs. It's not uncommon for manufacturers to make changes to design, components or assembly once productions goes into full swing and they begin to exhaust their supply of parts on hand. I see reports of a ton of lost...

I don't have a Solo. I have a P2V+. Simply use the design in that other thread but cut the rear corners and use velcro to bring the sides in line with the back wall. That will allow you to quickly fold the thing up.

The pre-order process is important for many companies in that it helps determine interest in the product so that manufacturing can be adjusted accordingly. I'll bet that there are statistical models for this tech sector based upon pre-order figures that were used to adjust production levels. No...

Rather than using a box like the homemade one you mentioned I cut separate pieces for the top, sides, and back. I attached the top to the sides with duct tape and the back panel was attached to the top and sides with velcro. This way I could take the velcro parts off and fold everything up for...

I would assume that the Solo has a feature like the Home Lock on the DJI Phantoms. Gotta love that feature. It's saved me more than once when I lose the aircraft in the sun or fly it far downrange. The beauty of the Home Lock feature is that it doesn't matter which way the aircraft is facing...

If I had to guess I would say that the ball swivel size is the standard size found on almost all tablet and phone mounts. For example, I bought the Satechi ST-TP01 car holder mount and was able to use that with the ball/arm on my Phantom 2 Vision + controller. I removed the arm and base from...
