I have had similar issues with calibrating just by having my cell phone or keys in my pockets. I now remove all metal, cell phone, etc from myself and place the controller and tablet far enough away for me to see it without it being right next to the drone. Some of mine seem more sensitive to...

Love this idea. I'm going to use the guts from one of these Ebay drones that worked fine with a factory reset and re seating the sd card on a tarrot Ironman 650. It won't be as large and will use the solo gimbal with a gopro but I might finally be able to get close to half an hour of flight with...

I bought one off those a while back for $75 and the startup sequence was fine but it wouldn't pair to my controller. I got a better fit on the sd card on the im6 board and a dab of glue and it now works fine. I added a spare gimbal and it works as well as any of them I purchased new.

I would suggest ordering it for store pickup at a retail center near your hotel. I they don't have it in stock most stores will transfer one from a store that still has them. Try going on Best Buy or others website and ordering one for store pickup. It shouldn't be hard to find out what...

I am curious to try using the IM6 to control a pixhawk 2.1 but cannot find listings for the pins on the IM6. I have seen posts where people claim to have done it but nobody seems to tell how they connected it. Radio and hdmi are easy enough but I cannot find a listing for the line of pins down...

Pop the cover off next to where the battery goes. Look through the slots there and see if the board underneath is black or green. If it is green Rev A and if black Rev B. The B works a little better than the A for some people but they are basically the same. I fail to see how it could be urgent...

If you are careful you can take the entire guts out of solo and only unplug the gps, compass leg and the gimbal. The antenna you are worried about is taped to the inside of the shell and you can leave it attached to the board. I have had mine apart a few times and have never disconnected any...

Amazon has them but at 97 bucks each you might as well just buy another solo from BestBuy.

It isn't frequent but sometimes there are things blocking or interfering with the signal(stray wifi signals). Residential areas have a router in almost every house but fortunately the range on most is not very far. When that happens you lose GPS and the quad switches to manual as stated above...

Warning. Turn down soundif you don't like props. I was in a hurry. I made it through and that is a hawk in the tree in the background. I was taking some pictures of the new triflex mowing the green.

Just have someone else with you when you try it. You have a very limited view in the goggles and it is easy to slide sideways or backwards into a tree or something.

You could get a better view with a set of 3D goggles to put your phone in. There are ways to plug goggles into the controller but IMO the picture from a set of 3D goggles your phone sits in would be better than most of them and a lot cheaper. When using them you cannot see solo or the display on...

I use Solo to do real estate shoots. It takes me roughly a minute and a half of airtime to get the aerial shots. I then do the ground shots as well and for a package of 15 to 25 photos(# changes with listing requirements). I am pretty excited about the HDR function of Solex for this but have yet...

It depends on whether or not you already have a GoPro I guess(H3+ black and H4 silver or black are models that work with Solo). Solo has better smart shots and a slightly lower flight time but other than that they really are not much different. I own both and use the solo more often because it...

My second one arrived yesterday and is now sitting comfortably where the Rev B chip used to be. I will be test flying it tomorrow. I did a quick test at work after installing and inside a metal pole shed it was still getting 10 satellites. The stock chips never got any inside the building. At...
