    Good News.. Good News.. & Good News!

    Let's see if 2.0 works any better than 1.0

    Why I'm STAYING with 3DR - a little personal info, my first and last

    I was offered a refund on mine. I chose to RMA and get it back. Why? I have faith in what I believe to be the best designed most forward looking system on the market. Mine was flawless before the gimbal. Then the controller crashed on a factory reset. Shortly, I will have a fully and properly...

    Sudden Battery Drain

    Unless you are regularly flying around trees or structures that are over 150' tall, I would lower my RTH altitude. Yes, once the battery gets below 50% a hard pull on it is exaggerated in usage. Think of it this way...you are fully rested and have to pick up a #100 sack of potatoes. No...

    Brand New Gimbal - Bad First Flight out of the box

    If his video feed is too choppy to set up shots or aim the camera for stills, then I don't believe he is over exaggerating.

    Brand New Gimbal - Bad First Flight out of the box

    We shouldn't have to do a stick calibration. How does adding a piece of hardware that is not controlled by the sticks get affected by that calibration. Also, if the sticks are calibrated at the factory... Just saying...

    I am DONE with 3DR

    I RMA'd my complete unit. Got the gimbal in and it was misbehaving. So, I went to do a factory reset and it bricked the controller. Called them up the next morning (emailed the night before) and we were on the phone for over an hour. Sent back the solo, the gimbal and the controller. SHOULD...

    Is it just me.....

    Typical of quads to oscillate on descent. Lower throttle means a little less control. Because the quad knows it is descending, instead of increasing throttle to balance out, it will decrease throttle. That causes a jerking in descent

    What tablet or smartphone are you using with Solo? report good and bad

    External monitors. Think old school FPV with a monitor and seperate receiver.

    Just got the gimbal...

    I started a factory reset. After 45 minutes, the controller still had not finished resetting. Then, it bricked. I am sending back controller, Solo and Gimbal. Will mail out tomorrow. I already have the RMA for it. They were going to refund me. I said HELL NO, I want it fixed. So, in...

    Just got the gimbal...

    First of all, I don't consume alcohol. Second, time is irrelevant because I drive the night shift so, for all intents and purposes it was equivalent to 2 P.M. For me. I took the top apart so I could verify the wires were clear of the motors. Saw an improperly seated anti vibration ball and...

    No satellite view in Orbit?

    I had the same problem with my Galaxy Note 4. It seems that 3DR only cares about IOS since the android app is falling short in a couple of issues. That's one of the reasons I went with an IPad Air 2 for the Solo. This works perfectly (incomplete features that were promised notwithstanding)

    Just when did you order from B&H?

    Ordered direct from 3DR on April 28. It has been on the big brown truck for 8 hours now. But based on package weight, they still owe me a battery. Those that ordered B&H are really getting screwed. This fiasco has been even worse than the Solo release fiasco. B&H should have received enough...

    It was better without the gimbal

    So, when is the flight simulator going to come out? Another "delayed" promise?
