    Anyone lose signal with quad when it's nearby?

    edge 7+ with all 5 .... experimented (hell I feel like a qa/test pilot for an out of business company) with said other andriod devices and same results. Alpha's work but not consistent like others who have used over time have reported. I should have another NIB on it's way (because unnamed...

    Anyone lose signal with quad when it's nearby?

    I have had 5 (count them 5) NIB Solo's over the past several weeks and 100% of them have exhibited the same RC to AC disconnects. Flown in a remote area with no (app's verified) wifi interference. I assumed that I had an issue with my first Solo that did this.. assumed the same with my 2nd ...

    Why I think "Solo" as best for Drone Hobby

    I would let dad fly solo all day long but with the gimbal removed... Worst case you are out sixty bucks VS three hundred :)

    Master Airscrew Props with Built-In Nuts

    The real question... Are nuts worth five bucks?

    Battery Cycles

    That is pretty cool. I had the same question since my most recent - New In Box Solo bundle appears to be a 'Not New IN box, Used, Returned with no box" - LOL. Batteries don't even have the plastic on them so was hoping there was an easy way to see if they are in fact zero cycle batteries or...

    Solo in Cabelas

    Bad may not be the correct term and I'm quite sure a bit more practice by myself will/would make my footage better/more stable but I guess I was expecting it to be a bit more stable out of the box. If my main purpose for the Solo was a platform for footage I'd look into the various 'jello'...

    Solo in Cabelas

    Gopro = good ( or good enough) 3dr gimbal = bad (or not good enough) to stabilize the payload.

    Controller connection to Solo with gimbal

    Hard to say but I have heard B&H are sticklers for returns having 100% of what they sent. If they show a battery (free bat) not back with the kit they may ship the bundle back to you :) In terms of price it goes up and down at B&H and Amazon has them back .. then they are out and then back...

    Experiences with low cost M8N GPS modules?

    I'm rather impatient or should I say have gotten used to turning drone's on and flying. My two Solo's have Rev B's and both are ready to fly in under 30 seconds with 10 sat's to 13-14. I'm not sure what 17+ sat's get's you to be honest. I could see doing this if you had a rev a that did not...

    Solo in Cabelas

    That may be true but unfortunately that's about all (40) the gimbal is worth to me. The footage from the Solo with $200 + gimbal is awful! I now have 3 new gimbal's and they all handle the same. I thought it was the wind but even in calm when comparing the footage from my P4P or MP or heck...
