    Who has more issues? The Phantom 4 or SOLO

    I have two 3DR models the Solo and the X8-M and just recently purchased the Phantom 4. I am currently using the Phantom 4 for mapping missions using the Maps Made Easy app running on iOS. With my X8 and Solo, I use Mission Planner to plan all my missions. The X8 is by far my favorite for...

    Android Table still not staying connected to Solo

    I am still having problems trying to get the v2.2 Solo app and Tower app to stay connected to solo in flight. Just wondering if anyone else are having the same problem. I have been using the Solo app on my iPad Air and it has no problem staying connected during flight, but I do not have any...

    X8+M Mishap

    My X8M had a mishap a few weeks ago and I have since had to purchase a new Canon SX260. I had installed the CHDK on the SX260 and I have the TuffFlight cable connected to the Pixhawk. My problem is that when I power up the SX260 and then power up the X8, the camera will take a pic on power up...

    Upgrades

    I purchased the FPV that 3DR sells for the X8+, it does provide excellent video. Drawbacks are it is heavy and the range, even in rural area without any interference is limited to only approx 80 yards. So this does not help if you are running long range mapping missions. I did not like the...

    Solo update 2.1.0

    Another development....... Running Tower on Android 4.2.2 works perfectly and does not disconnect, same as iOS. Tower running on Android 5.0 will not stay connected. This is definitely a OS problem.

    Solo update 2.1.0

    Jerry, It was already turned off for the testing. This was one of the first things I thought of when I realized it was isolated to the android tablet. Still no cigar :(

    Solo update 2.1.0

    It is also not just isolate to the Solo app but also the tower app, so it has to be an issue with the android OS. I have emailed 3DR, but have had not official response as of this afternoon.

    Solo update 2.1.0

    I have isolate the problem to my android tablet. When I installed the app on my iPad Air it ran just fine and never disconnected. So I Jubair is correct, it is a setting problem with the android tablet with the wifi searching all the time. I even went as far as to uninstall and reintall the...

    X8+ Pilot Roll Call

    Actually it no very difficult if you strip down the extra weight on the X8 and do not have FPV or powering a gimbal or camera. I have 6 batteries and all will give me 25 to 30 minute flight time depending on the wind conditions. I agree that if you are flying in 30 mph winds you will not get...

    Mapir Ir or others?

    I have the NVDI, Green and Natural Light cameras and they work very well for the price. I do crop analysis more than anything and for the price these cameras work well. Takes a little getting use to that once you press the button it starts taking pictures at 3 second intervals. I am use an OS...
