    A way to stay in business with Solo?... batteries

    :p:D I feel you haha XD All fair points. I'd be sad to have another Solo surveyor go on to other pastures, but such is life. I'll admit, I've been heavily looking at the Anafi and the Bebop2 POWER. Despite the worse camera, I really like the Bebop2 POWER because there is no mechanical gimbal...

    A way to stay in business with Solo?... batteries

    Damien, Have you had eyes-on the BMS mods going on? **UPDATE** Solo Battery Mod for Dummies Looks like people are having decent luck marrying fresh 5200mAh cells to a sacrificed Solo BMS unit.

    What do the GoPro 3+ and 4 connectors on the gimbal do?

    There are a number of solutions for the geotagging currently. You have Mission Planner (via the godmode menu, CTRL+F), GeoSetter (my favorite), and through an add-on purchase within Solex (I have no experience with this quite yet). There are a number of changes happening in upstream...

    What do the GoPro 3+ and 4 connectors on the gimbal do?

    Clarification: The "small" cable on the side of the gimbal in the rubber protector is a micro-HDMI. It is not bi-directional in any meaningful way, except that the HDMI specification allows for device capability enumeration (a basic "hi, I'm a video device and this is the type of video I send"...

    I have nothing but great things to say about BrownineBoards as well. My breakout board served me quite well for setting up my analog FPV setup.

    Turkey Day Crash - Help Needed Reviewing Log

    I was guided to map RCIN vs RCOUT to look for failures on the motor pods. I looked at the other channels prior, but removed them since they looked consistent between IN/OUT. Channel 3 was the only one that looked off. On a QuadX like the Solo, that should be your front left pod. How does that...

    Turkey Day Crash - Help Needed Reviewing Log

    I know the feeling. I had lost one of my two work Solos this past season, I'm pretty sure via the known ESC signaling issue. I had a number of people here, on the ArduPilot forum, and on the various Solo/ArduPilot FB groups take a look. I'll look again for you, but my inspection is rudimentary...

    New Alphas- Range test 4K-- AMAZED!

    Needs to be turned on. Can be done through the official GoPro app, or on the camera itself. Solex/Solo app aren't able to change those settings since they're made against an older API/firmware.
