Well, your used Solo kit is sold if you're willing to ship to me. PMing you too hoping you get a notification on your phone :)

I've got a few friends showing some interest in a lot of what you are offering. Before I continue trying to sell this for you, are you willing to ship to Dallas?

Insane. I'm thinking about selling my whole kit (similar to yours, but with a few extra batts) and picking up a Mavic. I spent nearly $2k and now I see that your scrambling to get $550. I spent $750 on batteries alone... Makes me want to throw up a bit. Good luck with selling, brother...

Our problems are mostly movement of the boat, as opposed to too much metal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The drone won't arm. It wasn't a matter of waiting for a GPS lock. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

For troubleshooting, yes.

Hmm, I could make a launch pad that attaches to the ski pylon (not the tower). 3 inch PVC with some plywood attached to the top. That will accent any rocking of the boat though. Worth a shot.

Will attempt this on Saturday. If not, we already have a plan B. Wood + PVC pipe = Launch pad. I can't get to shore too easily where we are, but I can get to where the water is about 2-3 feet deep. Going to use the same mechanics that we use to mount our rails to mount this metal-free...

Agreed that its definitely something with the boat, I just want to know what exactly. If i know the problem, I can try to correct it.

22 foot supra, I posted a pic. It is not a big boat. I tried launching off the bow first, but there are 2 standard speakers there, so I tried on the stern, starboard side (opposite of the batteries). That was when I had success. Its about 10 feet from the launch point to the tower speakers...

That gimbal not detected error is not a good example. That error has popped up on the boat when the solo wasn't even on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They don't effect my compass on the boat, or the iPhone. Is the compass in the solo THAT sensitive? My attempted launch point on the boat is a solid 10 feet from the speakers. I've laughed closer to my Jeeps trunk which has bigger speakers in it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah I've been hand catching on the few times that I actually got flight. Since the boat is pretty damn still (by human standards), it was pretty easy. Hover, grab behind gopro, down+left on left stick. All done. Do you have a better method with the controller? Sent from my iPhone using...

Engine is always off when a rider is getting in the water. No VHF on my boat, and usually not another boat in sight. The one time I got it to launch was off the stern, directly on top of the engine cover. That's also the farthest I can get from any speakers or the subwoofer. Going to...

Honestly, until I popped on here tonight, I wasn't thinking it was the boat. My buddy has brought his Phantom out a few times and never had problems. I'm not too experienced in the drone world. I just assumed a drone is a drone; if his can do it, mine can too. I actually found that thread...
