Just got my order from Amazon and installed it. Works better than I could of hoped for. If you have a nexus7 this is bullet proof.... Thanks

I believe the best way would be to hack a existing solo battery that has a bad cell. You would have to crack the case open and reuse the circuitry inside. There must be a cell voltage balancer. A charge cut off circuit and as mentioned before the battery status data the solo uses. Right now...

I had the same problem. I finally went out into the yard leaving the controller on the back of the car. I the started turning the solo over (flipping end over end pointing north) and then rotating around different axes. Both quads calibrated in about 45 seconds. It seemed to me that being...

I just installed the Microtik cards in my solo. With my peak reading watt meter I am getting 160mw out. The stock cards were putting out 36mw. Does that sound right?

Had I been aware of the Drotek unit when I was shopping I am sure I would of gone that way. However the $20 gps is working for me and I don't anticipate the need to update. That being said it is beneficial for us to know all the options. This forum is a great knowledge base for Solo.

Hi Rick.. I just did a GPS swap on my 3 week old BB Solo. I used this module from Ebay.. If you can do the soldering its an easy mod. I went from 12 sats to 20 with this $20 puck. Ublox NEO-M8N Flight Controller GPS & Compass with Shell for APM 2.6 APM2.8 FPV If you are confused at all...

Ok I got it working. I realize each solo needed its own controller. The problem was the app (aka the tablet) would not connect to the new solo. What I was stuck on was the new controller needed an update before it would proceed with its bootup. I finally uninstalled the app and reinstalled it...

Bought my first Solo 3 weeks ago and I love it. Picked up my second one today and cannot figure out how to get the app to work.It seems like its only going to respond to the first solo. I have searched for the answer but have come up with nothing.

I went over to a Bestbuy this morning to pick up an open box Solo (to be my spare ). They refused to honor the free battery/gimbal and props. After 20minutes at the online pickup window the store manager assed out and told the girl to refund my money. I wanted to let Ernest (the manager) at...

Not really. Yesterday they were $40. Wait a week. most likely they will go back to $40 or under.

Got an open box combo waiting for me today. $269 is a good price for a set of spare parts and 2 more batts......

I understand. I spent most of my working career as a trouble shooter. So I always start at the beginning and move along the chain. The HDMI out on top of the controller moves you at least half way down that chain. I am new to the solo also. I have installed a gopro3 black and today I...

Can you connect a micro hdmi cable from the GoPro to a hdmi input on a regular HDTV and get a picture. Can you connect the micro hdmi output on the Solo handheld control and see the GoPro on the HDTV? To perform such a test you would need a micro HDMI to HDMI cable. Something like this...

Yes I saw the huge price increase. It is difficult to understand the pricing but you can bet between the behavioral scientists and computers that price increase is used to stimulate sales. It incites a mild form of panic in the brain of the poor humanoid. LoL Amazon does the same thing. Put...
