Im not really talking about vibrations as such, but just if i pan up or down it is kind of a bit stop start, i guess i just have to go really slow, it just doesn't look great, i will have to just plan shots where i don't pan too much i guess.

My biggest issue is the propellers and legs coming into the shot, and also the gimbal is a little jerky and not too smooth, maybe i just need practice, i think a lot of my problems would be solved with a modified go pro.

This is all sounding scarier by the minute, maybe i will just up on top of the hill where there is no trees and just get some birds eye view footage from above the trees.

Im not sure how big it is, it is not super spectacular or anything, it is just in my local area, so would be easy to go do a day trip there and i think could make some good footage, and good practice for some bigger stuff, here is a link for google maps. Google Maps the picture i added is just...

Yeah im a fair way off it at the moment but it would make for the coolest footage, there are plants down there for prehistoric times it would be very interesting.

So for example my tablet is unsuitable for the solo, so essentially i have been flying not using the tablet, is this the same as manual? and would i even be able to take off if could not lock on? as i had trouble locking on today and could not fly, or is that the option in advanced settings? i...

Did you paint it orange or was it a special edition? either way looks a beast, they are a cool looking drone the solo, make the phantom look like a toy.

Hi all i only just bought a solo and am fairly new to drones in general, but down near where i live there is a big sinkhole in Braidwood NSW Australia, and i have a vision to fly a drone into it at some stage, it is fairly thick bush so im not sure what kind of gps i would get, plus the sinkhole...

Yeah i used it today with a mates iphone, worked like a charm, i need a new phone, im loving it my 4 year old son can fly it should be fun for my Indonesia trip.

Hi Maddog, maybe that is the case, I hope so anyhow, my problem is something to do with the app for sure, everything else on the app works fine but if do the option of go fly or whatever it is, even without a video stream I lose control of the drone, I can fly it manually fine, I'm hoping this...

Hi, yeah I'm having problems with it at the moment but I suspect it is not the app, will have to sort it out, thanks for the reply.

Yeah I thought my iPhone 5 would work but it doesn't so don't want to waste too much more money, I'm having huge problems with streaming video to my pad though, think I may have a faulty solo, will have to investigate further, keep getting the waiting to connect to solo when I try to stream but...

My solo, keeps saying waiting on solo, and keeps disconnecting then reconnecting, while trying to stream video the lights are two green and two red, also every now and again it says that my battery is too low to fly, but on the controller it still says 80% or whatever and still keeps flying, any...

I have only just purchased one a week ago, so my solo and controller have been updated, but not the app, could this be the reason I cant stream video, if so can I go back to previous version of the software?

I just got a 3dr solo, and have had nothing but problems with it from day one, a lot of magnetic interference even when in a dry lake bad in the middle of nowhere, I think I have got rid of most of these problems, but one issue I have is when I try to stream the video to my tablet, it will show...
