Hey guys any reason why my Solo is giving me 0 volts, 0 amps on my controller / phone read out, even when my batteries are fully charged. This happens on multiple batteries, and this wasn't an issue when I flew it a bunch last week. Any ideas?

didn't hear from them for 2 or 3 weeks I think. They basically got my SFOC to me a couple days under their estimate in the auto generated email I got after submitting. Where are you located at

Hey digitaliris, I recieved my Option 2 for a year in Sask / MB. TC was quite helpful I found and they called to discuss exactly what I was planning on doing.

Hey guys, quick question for doing surveys with Solo / Tower. I've been doing surveys with Tower for some time and it works great when the background map is current enough that I can get oriented correctly and draw my survey boundaries, however I've hit a snag if lets say I'm trying to map a...

Hey Ketch, In the flight editor mode, on the menu on the right hand side of the screen there is an option called "hatch angle" adjusting this will adjust the orientation of survey lines.

Awesome! much appreciated guys!

I'd be interested to know more on this as well! I've never attempted a flying catch landing yet, and would love to take Solo out on a lake but it makes my palms a little sweaty just thinking about it. Maybe boat mode would allow you to set the landing point as where your phone/controller GPS...

"Highlights" the importance of thinking outside the box. Solo is only limited by our imaginations!

Hmm good point - I wonder what the max payload is with the solo and if I would be close to it if I flying with Solo / Battery / Gimbal & 3 GoPro

Does anyone know if it is OK to fly SOLO with the gimbal installed but with no GoPro in? I also have an accessory bay mount for a couple cameras with modified lenses and was thinking I would help keep the weight down by taking the gopro out of the gimbal when mapping with the other two cameras.

And I've had great luck using Maps Made Easy - Home or Home | Agribotix is an affordable way to outsource the orthomosaic creation also.

I've had great results using MAPIR cameras (www.mapir.camera), which are made by the guys at Peau Productions - lots of helpful tutorials at that website on mapping. They are non-fisheye SJCAM with custom NADIR mounts for the Solo. These cameras combined with Tower app (Android) and/or Mission...

Has anyone had experience with the SFOC - PNR (Prairie and Northern Region) Specifically Option 2?

So until we get the v1.5.2 we can't use Tower to fly a survey?
