Ok guys. So we've agreed that taking off and landing from a moving boat is not the best idea, although Crisp Rice have done so successfully many times. ;) My Solo had this problem when trying to land on very solid and completely still asphalt. So back to my original questions: - What do you...

Hi PdxSteve. No, theres no way it did a RTH. I saw a message stating I had crashed after the drone had stopped. I think the battery was at 20-25%. I'm not sure what happened, I only held down left stick when the drone took off. It seemed that it didn't know it was on the ground and tried to...

Hi there community! I had a different post a week earlier with a non-functioning Solo. This Solo was exchanged for a working one at the retailer. With this new Solo I've had a number of successful flights and I felt that I was getting to know this amazing piece of drone. The first I had done...

Hi guys. I exchanged my Solo for a new one and now everything works as it should. I've did get a reply from 3dr support, but that was today so it was a bit late. Anyways. In case someone else gets the same problem as I had I'll leave the reply here: ________________________ Please, perform the...

Yeah, I'll try support tomorrow. Here's a quick video from my phone. You can see the lights and hear the start up sound. It's not the happy chirping it should be. Solo Bootup sound This is exactly what it was doing Friday night. Saturday morning I flew twice, and then it went back into this...

SARDG: see the network, but when I try to connect. I get a message that it couldn't connect. I'm on a mac, but that shouldn't matter. SteveReno: Well, it worked for a while after the initial update. I had it on my table, a video feed to my phone. If I had the props on and had I held FLY... I'm...

I did follow every step and took my time while setting it up. As I wrote in the original post it worked fine for a few minutes after the first update. I have had to turn it off (from an uncomplete booy up) every time I tried to get it on though :) I just tried to connect to the solos wifi from...

I've tried forgetting the network many times to no avail. Pulling batteries. restarting the controller, restarting solo. Killing the app. restarting device. You name it. I'm a newb when it comes to drones, but not other technology. :) Thanks for explainig RTH for me. That helps and explains a...

Thanks SteveReno. I've been trough the manual and the FAQ and Help on 3drs web site. I'm not sure if this is quite normal though. Other than being nervous when flying of course, the few minutes it has worked. The drone is not dead, but it seems to be in a kind of zombie state. Living dead :)...

Hi SARDG. I would definitely try your procedure, but I've tried to reset my controller (holding POWER + FLY) and now it wants to download new preflight update. The thing is I can't connect to the Solo with my phone any more so I'm not sure what to do. When trying to update via the app I see a...

Hi PdxSteve and SARDG. Thanks for helping out. I did not know their phone support was gone. I found the number on the second page of the pdf manual. Their online chat is only open Monday to Thursday. I've had this drone in my possession since Friday so they've been closed through my ordeal :)...

Hi pyrate. Thanks for your reply. I understand that it climbs when hitting RTH, but 30-40 meters? On my first test run it probably did a 3-5 meter climb before coming back down. I'm not sure as this is my first "big" drone. Do you know about any of my other problems? Steady green lights? The...

Hi. I bought a 3dr Solo at my local reseller this Friday. I bought the drone and the gimbal, I already had a GoPro 4 black. At first when setting up the drone, everything seemed to work. As this is my first proper drone I followed the instructions precicely. Before I could do any flying I...
