    APP Update = Missing Cable Saves. Gone forever?

    I updated the Solo app (for droid) and now my saved cable routes are gone. Ugh! Any chance they reside somewhere I don't know about that I can retrieve them?

    It's the Little Things - Foam Thingy

    Ya know that foam thingy that holds the gimbal/Gopro in place when it's not in use? Well.. I'm sure I'm the only one who takes it out at the last second (yes, that has been after I realize it's still on after take-off), and then I've got no place to put it. It doesn't fit well in a pocket, and...

    Altitude Default

    My Max altitude defaults back to 190' every time I power up the unit. Once I set it to 400', is there a way top get it to default there?

    Battery Sytorage

    I have 5 batteries and like keeping them fully charged and rotation their use. The manual says to store batteries at 50%. I assume that a few days does not constitute "storage," and that a few months would. What is the time limit without use where I should deplete the batteries to 50% before...

    Penn Cove Waters are No Place for Solo: Add Me to the List

    Drones as a service a good idea?

    Oh, well... my experience is so localized that I don't know. My opinion of what's to come is just soothsaying! But if I had to guess... Even the schools in my area are starting to own drones for their students to use. Software get's easier and more anyone-can-use. People tend to give value...

    Flight around empty stadiums 14 CFR 99.7

    Anyone can sue anyone for anything. Doesn't mean they will win. If you watch COPS, you'll see them sometimes show copyrighted logos (signs: McDonalds, etc) and then sometimes (rarely) blur them out. Why sometimes blur and sometimes not? Why do they mostly just show the signs? They just get...

    Drones as a service a good idea?

    I'm a terrible drone pilot. I don't practice. I spent about 20 mins learning the Solo, then went right out and started shooting footage for TV commercials (I do a bunch of local car and RV lots). In GPS mode, using cable, it's simple and easy to fly these things. It sure took me a lot longer...
