Heed JB's warning regarding batteries. I have about 12 of them, some NIB from five years ago. Using Madhackers solo battery checker I can see current battery status but these are old batteries and only use them in my spare solo (I have 4) with a fixed camera mount for a 360 camera since not...

What JB said is solid advice and he knows what he is talking about. Personally, I went with the BMSOne PnP. It is simple to using a standard 5200 mah 4S or if familiar with changing parameters on the Solo via the Solex app (an absolute must in my mind for flying Solo, well worth the money even...

Check out BMSOne – the universal BMS – Madhacker.org. There is an Solo battery adaptor that allows use of either standard 14.8 v lipo or li ion batteries. If you don't have stock 5200 mAh lipos, you can adjust the capacity to match your batteries. Involves changing parameters but not too...

Listen to Kelly. He and a great group of guys are responsible for keeping Solo flying long after the OEM decided to not support any further. It can be daunting/frustrating starting something new but Solo is a great platform for your GoPro and has some pretty great features built into the Soles...

It is worth the money to get the Solex app and join this group: Facebook Groups. You don't need to modify anything to get flying with the app and it has some pretty cool features. If you run into issues, these guys can help including the guy who created the Solex app. Look on the Facebook...

What do you currently have for equipment and type of drone. Send pictures of what you have to better understand what you need.

Suggest you post your question in Facebook Groups. This group is dedicated to the SOLO and included the guys that developed open solo app. They are a great group of guys who want to keep solo flying and will be able to help you.

I would suggest you join this group: Facebook Groups. You have access to Kelly Shrock, who created Solex and a whole gang of people who are very knowledgeable about all things Solo! Post your question there and I'm sure you will get detailed response to help you correct your problem. Good luck.

If still looking, I can provide and located near Toronto, so no issues shipping in Canada. You are looking for the hard point mount, not the GoPro bracket but will send both if you want.

Does the BMSOne come fully assembled with solo adapter? I went to the site and see you can buy the parts and hardwire into the solo board but don't see option of buying as universal external adapter. I'd prefer not to hard wire as I have couple of solos with gimbal and static mounts. If not...

Always give the benefit of doubt, we have all been there before. But some things are always funny at first glance and we need a good laugh these days. Lynn, if you need any help, this is the perfect place to get it and there are a lot of smart people here who will support and help you. Good...

In Canada, if drone, or any "remotely piloted aircraft" (RPA) weighs 250 grams (about 1/2 pound) or greater, you need to write and pass online basic exam and is for flight only in uncontrolled airspace. All aircraft must be registered and numbers displayed on aircraft. There is an advanced...

I would strongly suggest that you invest in the Solex app. You will be able to bring up to date with the latest Arducopter version of software for Solo, even if using the stock Cube with ESC issues, to maximize potential and the app is continually being updated to bring online new abilities and...

JB, thanks for the update and great news regarding BMS!

JB is bang on with his advise. Definitely get Solex and join the FB group. It is an amazing app and well worth the money. The only thing I can add is that you may want to pick up a solo battery tool from Palmar at [email protected], assuming he is still providing them (got mine two years...
