    How can I land the solo drone manually?

    Bring Solo down to about a few feet (perhaps 5-10 feet), then press and hold the FLY button to land it. This is auto-land method. Once Solo land it, motors will shut themselves off. I believe.

    2.7k, medium view, no record button???

    Hello, everyone I was out flying with Solo yesterday. I changed GP4B to 2.7k, medium view, I don't see the record button in Solo app on my iPhone 6. Has anyone ran into this? Any help is much appreciated? Thank you.

    using a mirrorless/compact system camera on the Solo - anyone tried it?

    I could be wrong, but before purchasing 3DR Solo, one of the thing I read in their marketing was it is supposed to be an open source, meaning 3DR alllows third party companies to develop accessories for it. By this understanding, I hope that someone would develop more powerful motors, props...

    Gimbal noise/vibration issue

    Hello, everyone I still experience the gimbal noise and vibration. Even after I’ve taken the battery tray off to ensure the gimbal data and HDMI cables not touching the gimbal inside. I also did a level and compass calibrations after everything was reinstalled, still same noise issue. I've...

    Filming with GoPro 4 black

    Not sure if this is the right forum for the question. When filming with GoPro 4 in 4K, FOV is wide, is it the only FOV in 4K? If it is, wish they include other FOV such as medium/narrow in future firmware update.

    Leg extenders..

    Yes, I just received an email from 3DR sending me free leg extensions also. This will help to raise Solo with gimbal installed. The gimbal is so low, can't land it on lawn, has to be very flat surface. In matter of fact, I was online searching for leg extensions earlier today. Saw them made by...

    when is it necessary to do level and compass calibrations

    Hello, Needing advice. I'm wondering if and when it is necessary to do level and compass calibrations. For example, if I've done level and compass calibrations at home, then taken Solo to another locations, to the park a few blocks away, or to another city. How far is far enough that I need to...

    Noisy Gimbal?

    I have a similar noise issue with the gimbal. It sounds like a hissing noise, only at certain angles. When the gimbal is at 90 deg, no noise. I hear the noise when the gimbal is between 60-30 deg, and when it is faces all the way down. I contacted 3DR via email. First they suggested to do the...
