Just trying it again with solo sitting safely on the table in front of me. Sometimes when I press the onscreen record button, gopro starts recording and then after 20 or 30 seconds it stops, the solo app still shows it recording but the stop button doesn't respond. Sometimes it starts...

I updated my Hero 4 Black without even thinking about it and without having seen this thread.... Same way I blindly updated Solo without seeing the warnings on another thread... Went flying this morning. Discovered that, as reported, Go Pro wouldn't turn on automatically. Powered on manually...

Cool. Thanks for the link. I'll give it a try.

Tried again just now and it all worked as expected. Why FLY: manual on A? For recovering from unexpected behaviour?

Ha, yeah. Consistently...

I did the reset following some other forum post I came across that claimed to have resolved the same issue... Fortunately it seemed to work and not make anything worse. Sadly it didn't make anything better. Thanks for that link. I reckon I've tried it all as described but I'll spend some more...

Hello, I've hunted through this forum and the web but have failed to get my Solo flying. Hoping for some suggestions of what to try next. Delivery arrived on Saturday. Set everything up, updated the software, and powered on. Magnetic interference. Moved Solo off the kitchen table into the...
