    Most cost-effective drone tracker?

    Howdy, Not sure how your question relates to this tracking thread. Plenty (??) of chances for a lost bird. Same reason I wear a survival vest when working SAR from the air....Solid preflight helps to insure the AC stays in the air....but we know despite OUR plans, life "happens"!! This little...

    No video feed

    Have you tried changing resolution and/ or frame rates? All updates installed? ...just guesses, mine did that a million years ago... did recall changing res/frame rate did bring it back.... Good luck!

    Tired of solo troubles

    I agree !! IMHO if you have acceptable focus and depth of field - Color Grading in post can bring it all together.... I enjoy what GoPro has to offer. If we work on our craft of filmmaking the rest may not be as important? I've taught graphic art...over attaining a science....ok...I'm also a...

    Car charger

    Also makes sense to perhaps get additional battery charger(s) so you're not waiting for one to complete the charging cycle? (I run the 3 batteries - 1 charger)

    Marco Polo retreval system.

    Old postings, agree to above comments. I'll spend $200 to help recover a Solo. Just ordered a Marco Polo as well. Up to the new year they're 10% off at Eureka.

    My best 3DR support experience was with...

    Great to read, 3DR seems to be working on past mistakes. Wil say throughout this process (I pre-ordered) techs and CS have been knowledgable and try to help. Perhaps some not so much, but have always had great ones!

    Has anyone of you flying the Solo indoor?

    Solo tab when connected, then reprogram A or B to manual fly. That way no need to wait for GPS....but no GPS lock outdoor and you have a problem RTH.

    Firmware 1.3.0 is out

    I had the same thing, shut off, and needed to restart several times. Now it is fine. If you have black video feed, make sure setting is 1080, 60 fps. On one of the shut down/ restarts the GoPro (Hero 4 Black) setting automatically was pushed from 2.7k to 1080, 60 fps and I had a video feed...

    Stuck in preflight update

    Interesting, have you tried the Android v1.2.2 Solo App? Mine installed great after v1.2.1 failures. WiFi issues? Is that a common problem? (Sorry havn't seen that mentioned, but it certainly could have been!) Security key a problem or getting a connection via WPA/WPA2 PSK? (For example, maybe...

    Stuck in preflight update

    Hi! I updated to android v1.2.2 yesterday evening. It did fix the update problem that came with 1.2.1 allowing to get through the process and have a fly ready Solo once again! I should have been drinking though, hehehehe! The Advance Flight Features are on the Solo tab in the app (visualize me...
