    Edmunds Road Walk - 3DR Solo (OpenSolo v3.0.0) [GoPro Hero4 Black]

    I could tell from the composition of the opening shot that you have spent some time behind a camera and aren't just, "a guy with a drone." I feel your pain about laziness reducing the quality of the final product. It's something that I struggle with on a regular basis. I guess that I need to...

    Vacation drone fun on the Chesapeake Bay.

    Wow, that sure makes me miss Tidewater! I lived in Princess Anne for about 6 years back in the late 80's and early 90's. If I didn't own a business back here in Central New York where I grew up, I would move back in a heartbeat! It is a great video, thanks for sharing.

    FAA register is back on....

    I feel that if we've spent the time to study and paid to take the exam, others should have to as well. I've often wanted to report those that do commercial work without part 107 certification. Is there even a mechanism in place for that?

    Flew in strong winds.

    Excellent. I thought so, but it never hurts to ask those with more experience. :)

    Flew in strong winds.

    Thanks! I've been taking off into the wind regardless of wind speed and wanted to know if that was the best way to do it.

    Flew in strong winds.

    When you guys fly in heavier winds, how do you orient the solo in regards to the wind when taking off? In other words, do you position the craft facing into the wind or some other direction? Thanks!

    Hello from Central New York (near Utica)

    I'm pretty new to the solo, but have been flying quads for about 4 years. I remember seeing the original promo videos and being blown away by the smart shots. At the time I had a quad made by the big name and that I would be happy with that. When I saw the amazing $300 deal B&H I bought my first...

    Factory Refurbished GoPro Hero 4 Black...$15.36 shipped on EBay...

    I just got my refund a few minutes ago. I knew that it had to be fake but as they say, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained!"

    This wasn't the fault of eBay. The owner of the account was probably hacked somewhere else and used the same password everywhere. If eBay was at fault, none of us would be getting our money back.

    Factory Refurbished GoPro Hero 4 Black...$15.36 shipped on EBay...

    I just got the email from eBay saying that "an unauthorized third party may have accessed the seller’s account to list this item." I requested a refund and will let all of you know how it works out.

    I also ordered 4 by having family members order for me. I knew that it was too good to be true, but if it wasn't fake, I would have been much more upset that I will be having to wait a couple of months to get $65 back. :D
