Solo's stock battery is a 5200mah 4s pack. It's pretty trivial to modify BMS to use any appropriate 4s 5200ish mah battery. It's less trivial to make it all look good.

Very nice work!!

Duplicated the same on both iOS and Android. Not in a position to sniff out what's going on, but it looks like the package is not downloading...

Trivial to make a 3d printed adapter - there are a couple on Thingiverse. The SJ4000 works fine, just avoid the counterfits. Caveat is you will not get any camera controls - that does require a real GoPro...

Use the Tattu 5200's. The multistars above work, but are a bit too long to fit if you put the top half of the cover back on - or at least that seems to be the case after my rather destructive dissembly :P

Could be, but you'd think they would have done that rather than relaunch the product. I'm more worried about the competition from China on their core product line taking the company down.

They are honoring the warranty on the one I picked up from the same eBay seller - I called and asked prior to purchase.

You think the price is going to tank based on the performance of the drone, the performance of the company or some other reason?

Mines still new, but I'm getting 4+ hours out of my K1 - I'll have to try it with my Cinemizers, but I hate the idea of not having eyes on the beast.

Be interesting to see if it actually sticks. "Skinner’s attorney said he will appeal the verdict. While pending, Skinner will not have to serve the 30 days in jail or pay the fine."

You heard wrong - 3DR's confirmed coverage on the one I picked up from the same seller.

I didn't check before I applied the anti-glare, but the K1 is polarized such that my prescription sunglasses cross it - so damned near a black screen. Turn it to Portrait and it's perfect. :(

Has he been sentenced yet? The articles refer to the maximum penalties, curious to see what he ends up with.

Thanks for the warning Bilge - I was flying with 1.3.4 - saw the warning on the facebook group yesterday. I think it may be me not familiar with Solex - it seems like when I land and disarm, I'm immediately getting the "GPS Lost" warning. I noticed it today, but was losing sunlight too fast...

Guys - sorta the same experience here - I'd picked up one of the $299 BB deals, and finaly got around to playing with it. I'd ordered an mro assUming it would be a rev A, but it wasn't. Upgraded anyway, using the 3d printed spacer. Works a treat, grab 21 sats where my original Solo with revb...
