battery

Hello all, I have owned my Solo for a few weeks now and yesterday once I got done flying I went to take the battery out as usual. Now normally I hit the release and slide the battery out no issue but for some reason my battery will no longer release all the way and feels like it is being caught...

I posted this problem in another thread but I'm going to start a new one so I don't hijack it. I have a new solo and 2 new batteries with less than 5 cycles on them. I just finished a charge cycle on both and the batteries shut off as normal. With the battery turned on, I measured the voltage...

Hey guys, does anyone know how to get molex connectors used on the batteries and chargers of the Solo?? Distributor of Molex connectors doesn't even have it in stock. Any ideas? Has anyone taken it apart and taken photo of it? I'm thinking of induction charging the Solo with this. Hope to hear...

I am planning on driving for 7 straight days in a campervan in Iceland. I have a 3DR solo and 5 batteries but I am certain I will need to have all 5 charged each day because there is something amazing in Iceland every 10 feet. I am driving a minivan with standard power options. Aside from...

Hi all! I am sick of using lithium polymer batteries lately. After using a battery for one month, it discharges faster than before. Also, while recharging it, I need to stay close to it for safety reasons (overheat, overcharge, explosions: as recommended on many blogs). And finally, each time...

I just got the email. Use promo code FREE2NDBATTERY at the 3DR website by Sunday night.

Flew my 3dr solo today with outside temperatures at 23˚F (-5˚C). Used two batteries, each battery only lasted 10 minutes. Don't think I want to fly in weather that cold again. During the second battery the gimbal was sagging a little but then corrected itself. Wondering if it was because I...

I crashed my Solo into a ravine and was unable to retrieve the vehicle. I'm selling the Solo controller, battery, and charger up on eBay. Here's the link: 3DR Solo Drone Quadcopter CONTROLLER, battery, charger, no vehicle $1 NO RESERVE

I had two fully charged batteries this morning. After exhausting the first, I put in the second. It immediately went down to one flashing light and less than 10% charge. I took the battery out of the copter but it continues to flash the one LED light. Pushing the the battery button does...

Im wondering if there are any dead or dying Solo batteries out there, or at least underperforming ones that could be put to good use for the benefit of us all on this forum. I want to hack a battery and see what can be done to improve it and post the results. Even something as simple as (non...

I finally got my Solos Compass calibrated and it says my battery is too low for flight. I tried both of my batteries that are at 100% and it still says on the app that the battery is at 0%. What should I check? Thanks a lot

I was flying and at 35% I started receiving the battery alert so I tried to get the drone back to landing, it wasn't far and in a matter of a minute the battery went from 35% to 10% and when it was like 10ft above the ground it went from 10% to 2% and landed. It was a new battery and it was...

When I was flying my drone and I press the return home button the drone accidentally crash whit a roof and when I catch it and it landed I can't remove the battery, what I can do to remove the Battery? Thanks for the help.

I am fairly new to flying drones. My new 3DR Iris drone does not retain charge. I bough the drone and the batteries couple of months ago and I have flown them about 5 times so far. After I put the battery in within minutes the voltage as read in the handheld radio controller comes from 10+ volts...

Hi, I've had my 3dr solo for about 3weeks now . and need help with some things. 1. I tried the orbit feature and set the points and hit go and it just went straight across and down in altitude and eventually ended up crashing into the ground . if anybody knows what I'm doing wrong ? 2. I'm after...

So one of the things I liked about the Solo was the fly time usually around 25 minutes per battery before Gimbal. Now that I have the Gimbal I'm down to less than 15 minutes and that seems to be because it charges the GoPro at the same time. Soooo Pro's: Don't have to worry about charing my...

Hi there pilots! Just wondering two things. When I attach the 10 000 mAh battery it gets a little back heavy, is that normal? Doesn't looks like it's impacting the flight performance but it would be nice to have it more balanced without gimbal etc. My small Hubsan X4 also gets a little bit off...
