Keep in mind that iOS devices have an onboard barometer that allows Solo to follow your altitude in follow mode. The word on the street is also that 3DR is more focused on the iOS app than on Android, making the iOS app more relible. I have the Nexus 9 which is pretty good. I wish the screen...

Never thought of that. Great idea.

Something interesting is that I did a fresh install on Friday (May 6th) and I have v2.3.0 for the app. Not 2.3.1. Did they remove it? I'm on a Samsung Galaxy. Solo and the controller are on version 2.3.0-1 (which is a weird numbering system with the hyphen

@pyrate I'm suggesting that once the vehicle and controllers are up to date, deleting and reinstalling fresh apps might be useful. This might mean deleting and reinstalling the same app version, not necessarily update the app version. A Factory Reset might be a different story :)

Cool, publish it here whether it went well or not :) I'm looking forward to going on the next flight but I have lost a substantial amount of confidence in the reliability of the system. A quick tip if I may. If you're using Android, reinstall all the apps after the bird is updated to the latest...

Did you get your new Solo? I just received mine on Friday and went out for a flight test. It worked as expected this time, let's hope it stays like that. I have gimbal vibration but I haven't installed the flat ribbon cable yet, that'll be next. I thought of filming every step of the unboxing...

I got that on the 2 solos I've had so far. I just dismiss it and Fly. I'd get it while solo sit on a rock solid floor. Let me know if you find out how to fix that. aaaah Solo, you're full of surprises.

I hope you get a great new bird, that has been tested. I'm about to receive my 3rd bird tomorrow. The first one crashed due to a wifi card failure. They took it back. They sent me a "brand new one fully funcional" that never worked well despite doing so many tests and spending so much time...

As far as I know, they the GoPro and Phantoms both use the same sensor so you should be able to get similar images out of it. I'm just saying that the post production and tinkering required it more cumbersome with Solo and a GoPro. Say whut? There's a collossal amount of pro work done with...

When is comes to video quality, the GoPro won't ever beat the P3 and P4. With a Phantom, all you need to do after the shoot is grade the shot. They also have screw-on ND and polarized filters that screw on the camera, so no extra balancing is required. With Solo and the GoPro, you'll need to...

That is such a shame. I was really hoping a new camera + gimbal to be released. :(

@Adimuzio513 if you have a sample picture from the GoPro in full res I'd love to see how sharp your edges are ;) Mine are not that great.

i'm talking about situations where GPS is sketchy or unusable. You need GPS for the smart shots. Or if you want to shoot without a clear plan (freestyle) It probably won't happen for a while and as @PdxSteve said, it's not compatible with the Solo name :D The point of Solo remains to be a...

True, although I'm thinking about times when you just want to wing it and can't setup a MPCC. Either when you can't control your subject or when you need to fly manual. Imagine if you're in a forest filming a runner. You can't use GPS. It's easy to fly in a straight line along the trail but...

Can't you wait for a week? :D
