    Waiting for Solo

    Thanks for the info...yeah, this is my second unit now so I am all too familiar with the process, haha. I have been trying on and off for about 4 days now. My first unit was slow too, and took 3 tries to pair it but the main difference, and of most concern I think, is that the controller is a...

    Waiting for Solo

    If I remember correctly it is held in place with a little blob of glue or silicone...but I have yet to verify that myself. No problem at all!

    Waiting for Solo

    You bet, I tried all the buttons as well as the gopro controller sliders etc...everything seems to click and spring back as it should.

    Waiting for Solo

    Micro SD, yeah...I remember seeing posts about it in the late summer early fall with people having issues with the card coming loose. It is part of the gps transmitter/reciever part I believe.

    Waiting for Solo

    It is not a good sign that I can't reset the controller with the supplied instructions...press and hold power + fly as it boots up. That only ends up powering the controller up. With all the money they are making you would think they could hire more tech staff :P

    Waiting for Solo

    I have tried that as well. (You just push in the button with a paperclip for approx 15seconds as the bird powers up.) I think the problem lies in the controller since it isn't broadcasting any wifi and I searched the solid red light which turned up a few interesting things...one of which is...

    Waiting for Solo

    You bet, I let it sit without battery for an hour or so as well.

    Waiting for Solo

    Hey all, I am looking for some help with a refurb I got back from 3DR. The unit that was returned to me does not want to pair..in fact all it does is give me a "waiting for solo" message on the controller. I see in the back of the controller a solid red light, which is probably not good but I...

    Tower 101

    I found similar results to previous posters. I actually tried to take off in Auto mode and that was a big mistake...my solo started "hopping up and down" like a frog, haha...but luckily I had assigned the "B" button to fly manual. It works great, much to my relief. Switching the B button to fly...

    Anyone using Solo for AP?

    Hi everyone. First off, the Solo is one smooth flying machine. This thing is seriously fun and can handle some pretty big wind with ease.This was one of the big reasons I purchased it for doing aerial photography. I have a Gopro 4 and the video aspect is great but I am looking to modify it to...

    B&H and 3dr

    I have had great service from B&H over the years with all kinds of photographic equipment. I live in Canada and they still manage to get their shipments to me as fast as ordering within Canada. I just ordered the backpack on Sunday and it was delivered to my door by Thursday...that is tough to beat!
