    House on Fire!

    I was flying in a quiet city park yesterday when I heard sirens on the surrounding road. The fire was right there. Did a little editing last night and it turned into a music video of sorts. The kind of action we dream of getting when the quad's already in the air, right?

    got an extra gimbal if anyone still needs one

    I realize the gimbals have all shipped now so everyone should have theirs or been bale to purchase one recently with no issues. However, due to the previous issues this year I essentially ended up with two gimbals because i was impatient on 3DR so I got one from BestBuy a couple weeks ago and...

    Gimbal points slightly right

    Gimbal works great but insists on pointing to the right a bit...I get leg in the shot quite a bit. Did software update 1.2 hoping it would fix it but it didn't. Did compass cal after that and still the same. Besides calling 3DR, who has resolved this issue, and how did you do it?

    using a mirrorless/compact system camera on the Solo - anyone tried it?

    I've got my gimbal finally and have been massively enjoying shooting anything and everything, but of course my mind goes to "what's next?". Given the power and flight-time of the gopro equipped Solo, I'm pretty sure this platform could pretty easily support a larger camera. Has anyone tested...

    Gimbal still at version 1.1.4

    Just noticed after the 1.2.0 firmware update that the gimbal is still showing 1.1.4 in the app. Does this mean that the gimbal firmware was not updated? Or does this represent a gimbal update with it on a completely different version number?

    GPS Fix - Modification 'Drone Boost'

    To resolve potential loss of GPS Signal, I have very precisely machined a piece of card stock that you should install between the GPS Copper Shield and the GPS Board. It will prevent stray voltage from traveling from the on board lithium battery to the GPS main chip and other parts of the board...

    Perfect Video UNTIL Takeoff then rolling and scrambled.

    I have an odd problem and haven't had any luck finding anything about it online. Everything connects and starts up normally. I see the video feed in the app and I can press record on on the controller and stop the recording and the video is still perfect. As soon as I takeoff, the video...

    Gimbal dust guard

    Like many others, I'm having major issues with the gimbal going limp every 45 seconds or so. While uninstalling the gimbal, I noticed that dirt, dust, debris can easily get inside. For a device that is used in the outdoors, sure does collect a LOT OF DIRT inside the control board.

    HDMI outer shielding mod

    This mod isn't my idea, Fred Vandeman on the Solo Facebook User Group came up with this, I was sceptical about this working, but it does. 3DR can't condone this mod, but at the same time, they've not said don't do it, with some mods they do, so that's what made me think it was worth a try. In...
