    Help with solo

    Actually, the calibration has nothing to do with sensitivity. It ensures that the data sent from the stick positions lines up with the actual stick positions. For example, the actual position of the right stick could be sitting at rest dead center but the data being sent to the flight...

    Help with solo

    Yes. There is a way to calibrate the controller (sticks) but it's not included in the standard calibration options in any of the apps as far as I know. Some other brands (which shall remain unnamed) do include stick calibration in their calibration options. I do it every so often as part of...

    This forum no longer properly works on Epic Browser

    You're right that the only way to be 100% secure is stay off the internet. That said, part of the answer to this question depends on your definition of security. If your definition is not picking up malware infections or having your information stolen. with some common sense and today's OS's...

    This forum no longer properly works on Epic Browser

    Never heard of Epic before this thread so I did a little digging. It's unlikely that web developers are going to go out of their way to support Epic. The code used on websites is constantly being updated for security and other reasons. It's the browsers that need to update to support changes...

    Gopro frame issue in solo gimbal

    I have the exact same crack in the same spot on one of my Gopro 4's. I just ignore it. Doesn't affect anything.

    Solo Android App Missing

    Yep. I just checked now and it is back and 3DR Services is gone. So it was a mistake. They removed the wrong app. :-)

    Solo Android App Missing

    I have a different theory as to why it's gone. The need for the 3DR Services app was eliminated quite awhile ago. I have a suspicion they removed the wrong app.

    Since I don't have Solex yet, this is out of my area of experience. I would suggest joining the Solex group on Facebook and asking there. The author of Solex, Kelly Schrock, is the owner of the group and either he or other Solex users should be able to help. Log into Facebook | Facebook

    Android Oreo (Android 8)

    Thanks for the invite! Solex came out before Open Solo or the Green Cube so it was written from the get go to work with the stock Solo so yes, it will work with the OEM 2.4.2. I'm not using Solex yet. When it first came out it didn't seem to do much more than the 3DR app so I didn't see a...

    Android Oreo (Android 8)

    It's a matter of preference as far as I'm concerned. I've had zero problems with the mRo but I fly in wide open spaces where there are no obstacles to potentially interfere with the GPS signals and my flying needs are pretty basic. Obstacles are going to interfere with any GPS but you probably...

    Oh good. If you do IT work and aren't afraid to tinker with hardware then you shouldn't have too much trouble. The mRo is plug and play. Just the the physical installation. Very easy to install. There's a video on the order page showing how. mRo GPS u-Blox Neo-M8N / 3DR SOLO Upgrade (New)

    Android Oreo (Android 8)

    You can use SidePilot on iOS as well from what I understand. But yes, the best combination is with Solex and an Android device from everything I've read. Hopefully you're technically inclined because this isn't plug and play. You'll be getting your hands dirty. If you decide to go for it...

    Android Oreo (Android 8)

    With what you want to do, that would be my recommendation, yes. I forgot to ask, you have the gimbal and a Gopro?

    Android Oreo (Android 8)

    I haven't done the GC upgrade yet myself. I was planning to do it a little later this year. Another advantage to the GC and updated flight software is that it compensates for the drones tendency to slowly lose altitude as you fly forward. Most drones do this, it's a physics thing. Which is...

    The recommended tablet WAS the Nvidia K1 but they discontinued it awhile ago and they're difficult to find now. You can search this site for Solex, tablet and some hits come up. Also, if you're on Facebook, join this group. The author of Solex, Kelly Schrock, runs the group. Log into...
