Here's one source: Sorry, Honey! One Pampered 3DR Solo Battery - International OK - Buy It Now! | eBay

Acro mode? As the expression goes, that's currently "above my pay grade." Does anyone know of a good discussion/post/video on quad flight dynamics so that a noob pilot could better understand what happens on both the vehicle and controller ends in Acro mode? I've looked but haven't found much...

Please Rich! Don't get me thinking! I have real work to do...On the other hand...I'll keep you posted. :)

I flew it about 800-1000 feet downrange to an altitude of 300 feet, turned it toward me, and, yep, just "floored it." All right stick in Drift mode. Didn't touch the left stick. Pretty fun stuff for a drone noob like me. :)

Thanks for that, Andrew. Perhaps I'll do a little non-destructive testing by just relocating the antennae first. Have you tried that?

Great insight and I've enjoyed your videos immensely since I first discovered them a couple of months ago. And, you, my friend, have "the right stuff!"

Excuse me, but my "proclaiming" a speed without acknowledging an "admittedly strong tailwind" would be disingenuous. Tailwind or not, I was amazed by the ability of the Solo and I think most Solo owners will enjoy hearing about their quad's capability. On the other hand, from what I've...

Having recently discovered the delights of Drift mode, I decided to clean up the aerodynamic profile of one of my Solos by removing all the camera-related hardware. Specifically, I removed the gimbal and replaced it with just the bare cover plate, which I then covered with, you guessed it...

As I mentioned earlier in the thread, my objective was to have three gimbals collectively, so I declined the extra one in the bundle and returned another new one that I had purchased days earlier. You'll also see that I received a $10 customer appreciation certificate. So the math is 299.99 -...

FedEx just delivered my Solo + gimbal + backpack bundle from Best Buy. Somewhat to my surprise, it all came in one 3DR box that included everything, rather than the two boxes I expected. Another pleasant discovery: This bundle includes eight, rather than six, props neatly packaged in the...

Yep. For ONE day, Best Buy bumped the price back up to $799. But, lest anyone miss out, the price is back down to $299. For now.

As many of you know, Best Buy is currently offering a $299.99 bundle (Model: BB11A SKU: 5655599) which includes the Solo, the controller, the gimbal, and the Solo Backpack. As part of this promotion, they also include a free, second gimbal. So today I went in to see my friendly, cooperative...

I'll venture a guess and say that VERY FEW here are disappointed that they bought a Solo, despite the company's strategic shift in direction. Personally, I'd recommend that you buy as many of the Best Buy $299 bundles as you can afford. I did, and I couldn't be more delighted. Best Buy $299...

Yep. When I posted they still had inventory in their warehouse, but it looks like they're all gone now. The Best Buy page still allows you to check for inventory in local stores, but, for many, local store inventory is non-existent. Batteries are still available on Amazon here with free Prime...

The Solo parts inventory is quickly evaporating! Best Buy has just dropped their Solo battery price to a paltry $29.99. At that price, these batteries, which just months ago sold for $150, will disappear in a hurry. In my area, there don't appear to be any batteries available within a 250-mile...
