    Solo Bricked. Getting really sick of 3DR support's delays.

    I got great supoort from everyone at 3DR. Toured the return repair warehouse in San Diego. Great people. Very friendly Latinos. Unfortunately Due to multiple failures as a result of what seemed to be horrible quality control and using low grade electronic measuring components the iris+ and...

    Trouble free Trouble free P4s are only the beginning of the benefits. Good luck.

    Had a crash tonight...and the Solo is lost

    I agree. Losing a Solo due to not having it in the correct mode, perfect environment and holding your mouth just right is indeed part of the costly 3DR Solo learning mode. They should have a selector switch on the radio marked Learning Mode because it's not if but when you are going to lose...

    4.5 miles on a modded Solo

    I believe it was 3 IRIS and 4 SOLO. It's easy to loose track when you have so much traffic in cross shipping and returns. Life gets in the way when you can afford the kind of money I have spent on aerial photography. I did not log anything. Except the Logs. And 3DR has plenty of evidence. It's...

    4.5 miles on a modded Solo

    I'm not trolling the site. I'm giving info about my experience. It's a conversation. It started by signing up to the IRIS+/SOLO Forum when I first joined up with 3D Robotics. Sometimes the truth is a bitter pill to swallow. I know it was for me during the last 2 years I've tried to hold on and...

    4.5 miles on a modded Solo

    I stand by my statements as factual. You consider hard facts as Trolling, I call it a Consumer Warning. But whatever. You sound like Trump bitching about the rules being rigged. It is what it is dude. Solo is now a yesteryear tech in a today's tech environment being quickly surpassed by its...

    4.5 miles on a modded Solo

    You are correct. But sometimes Stating Facts sounds like Bashing. If my needs were, no customer phone support on an outdated product that never was complete then I would have stayed with the Toy Solo. I needed an Aerial Platform to video and edit for real estate companies. The Phantom-IV...

    4.5 miles on a modded Solo

    We landed on the moon like twelve times. So I guess we've gone to Mars if you add the distance. I few my P4 12 miles yesterday. The Solo is lucky to get a half a mile out of box in town anywhere. I know. I had four. Then I dumped the Toy Novelty 3DR Gismo trying to get distance and obtain...

    What's new with the latest SOLO ?

    You are correct. IF 3DR would have come out with another model Solo-II the frogs would have wings. A gentlemanaasked a question about which of the two companies and models where the best. I answered. You didn't like the factual truth. So you picked up your ball and went home to mommy crying...

    What's new with the latest SOLO ?

    I understand. Our experience in RC is extensive. My first was rubber band powered servos and a one channel radio. I have owned a T-Rex Nitro as well as many other Helis and tons of other RC craft. So as well I only speak of my experience. Which was Great with 3DR. Until it went to Crap. Ya...

    What's new with the latest SOLO ?

    Then you haven't flown the P4. If you are any kind of experienced dronie then you would know this. I felt the same way you do until 3DRs failing unavailable phone support I was forced to go to Best Buy and try out the Brand New Phantom 4. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news or source of...

    What's new with the latest SOLO ?

    You haven't flown a Phantom lately or ever.

    What's new with the latest SOLO ?

    I have always been skeptical of a product who has such a warranty as to cover a possible fly away. But the real answer is Nothing! There has been (0) Zero. Nothing. No advancements from the Original Solo from a year ago. Unless you call ending customer phone support as something new and...

    3DR support ceases taking phone calls.

    After providing fantastic phone customer support to restructuring your proven working platform to providing chat, text and email and zero phone support is what we referred to in the business world as "the writing on the wall". Calling it anything less is dillusional. And It's to bad. 3DR Was An...

    Purchase Decision

    Yes you can get some cardboard and finish the research and product development and improve the sorry GPS quality that 3DR failed to do. I have had 4 Solo vehicles. 3DR has cross shipped product. One smoked fresh out of the box. One lost a ESC in the motor. Don't even get started on the worst...
