Thinking it had something to do w/ the old version of OpenSolo i was running I upgraded to 3.0 via SSH last night but Solex still didn't connect.

    Experiences with low cost M8N GPS modules?

    my experience so far is the same... My cheap gps seems to get more stats then my rev b but it also seems like it requires more for an equal hdop and OK to fly.

    Sony Action Cam?

    I used an old Sony as10 action cam (as well as a db power go pro clone) a few times on the fixed mount with my solo before getting a go pro... worked fine. Obviously can't attach 5o gimbal Edit - I had to use the waterproof case to mount to solo as that piece has mounting rings
