crash

Hello, I flew my drone today for about 15 minutes before packing it back up and then 3 hours later I go out again and this time gps lock right away. Everything is good to go pre trip inspection complete. I take off and then I notice one of my back led lights were solid green and the other one...

anyone else experience altitude loss when flying a large orbit? Orbits are in the range of 50m or 100m radius. I have flown a few Tower orbits and have seen the Solo lose altitude in a few of them. Note that Tower does properly show the altitude as it is descending, so it is not the case that...

Just a quick question on how long it has taken owners to get their warranty acted on and a replacement Solo delivered after a crash that puts your bird out of action. It seems to take an exceedingly long time for anything to happen here in Australia. Had a crash on the morning of 11th of...

howdy. just had a bit of a painful crash, if you were a solo, that is. it didnt hurt me personally but hey I wasnt 100 feet in the air when gravity took hold and didnt let go. anyway, am trying to upload the TLOG file onto this forum but it wont let me, it says something about cant upload a...

I am new to the drone movement.. I received a Solo as a Christmas gift. The first few flights were great and were short mostly getting used to the functionality of Solo, the controller and App. I haven't had any troubles until today and today I had big troubles. I did the normal start ->...

Man this drone has been very frustrating this month, but today takes the cake. I am seriously considering getting out while I am somewhat ahead,selling the glitchy freezing gopro hero4 black as well and getting a Mavic. 34F foggy morning because snow is evaporating. No wind. About 5 minutes...

I am a brand-new Solo owner and I crashed mine fairly hard on first flight - my fault. One arm of the shell is broken about halfway through. That's the most visible damage other than busted propellers. I bought a replacement shell already. Question: should I go straight to replacing the...

I was at Sugar House Park in Utah flying at about 200 ft high and I was doing an orbit shot. My solo lost control and it was returning home. Once the signal recovered, I tried getting back up to continue my orbit shot. Solo started flying on its own almost crashing into the power lines, but...

Hi All- Fairly new to the Solo, but love it so far... I have had a couple of minor crashes early on and now my Solo always seems like it's flying very wobbly. I read a few threads that this is common at high speeds (which I see as well), but even when I'm hovering, it is still very wobbly...

First post on here! When I received my brand new Solo, I was excited. With no experience, I spent hours on the simulator until I felt comfortable. I read through this forum's FAQ and pre-flight check (well done btw) then began my first flight. It was super easy, albeit nervous. I did a couple of...

Hi, I have been reading up on some other crashes some folks here have had and I think I have a similar story. I was landing yesterday and my solo didn't seem to understand it was down on the ground, I was landing on wood picnic table I took off from and I was standing about 10 feet from the...

This video is from a user on the Facebook group. He was cruising around the neighborhood when it went bananas. It took off at high speed in descent. Narrowly missed one house, and crashed through the window of another house. I don't see any way this was pilot error. it is quite obviously...

Ok I have a new solo. After a few test flights I wanted to do a test of how long it would take to drain the battery but made the mistake of taking off too close to my building. A gust of wind hit as it was passing a stone pillar and it pushed it right into it (yes i know noob mistake on my...

Hi all, Recently had an issue with Solo that I don't fully understand and kinda destroyed the poor thing. Support wasn't any help so I am selling--either the whole thing or just parts of it. The battery is broken but I am willing to sell it if you want it for some reason. In the crash, the...

Well, I've done it again. Somehow I've crashed my Solo for a 3rd time but this time I have come away with no drone. Some may say I should be more careful but in all reality, they were complete accidents, one not being my fault in any way. The first time, the Solo lost signal, feel into a lake...

Hello all. I was flying my Solo this past weekend and had good GPS signals. During the flight my drone may have lost GPS signal unexpectedly for no reason, but it all happened so quickly, so I am not even sure at this point. How quickly do the controls switch over to manual when GPS connections...

About a month ago I purchased a 3DR SOLO from Best Buy. I was extremely excited to begin creating videos and such with pro level looks. In the beginning the drone had numerous issues but this is to be expected. Every new product has issues and as I went along I fixed most of them. In the end the...

I have had a crash it had been suggested that my prop guards caught the wind and caused my solo to crash has any body else had this happen even though I had a GPS lock on or I believed that a GPS Lock help stabilised the craft

So I took Solo to the local middle school field (large, empty and open) to play with smart shots and to assess the status of my gimbal (it's been doing the floppy thing and not finding the horizon). Anyway, I keep my b button set to whatever I feel like playing with and this week that's been...
