    Tower + Solo Mapping - Vehicle Heading Hold

    Howdy, maybe a silly question, but I can't find a way to keep my Solo pointing in the same direction during a survey mission planned using Tower. Is there a way to do this in Tower? I'm thinking of an option similar to "Heading Hold" in Mission Planner. Thanks, Peter

    Hi there, Well I have a bit of an issue here while I wait for a mini8 to arrive.

    Hello Everyone, I have mounted a FLIR Vue Pro R thermal camera core to my 3DR Solo for obtaining still thermal-IR images. The Vue Pro has an Accessory Port cable that is pre-terminated to connect properly with the 3DR PixHawk TELEM 1 port (see attached illustration from Vue Pro user guide)...

    Stripped Gimbal Screws?

    I received my Solo and Gimbal last week and finally had a moment to unbox and install the gimbal. Removing the static GoPro mount, I found 2 / 3 screws were incredibly difficult to remove. I was afraid of breaking off the threaded insert from the body. 45 mins later, I was able to work the...

    Solo app 2.4 Beta. Should I try it?

    I'm not quite new to quads but I am new to Solo. Brief history. I ordered a new Solo and 3 axis gimbal last week. When they arrived, I carefully installed the gimbal.

    Should I get an iPad Mini 2 WiFi dedicated for Solo Flight?

    I'm debating on purchasing an iPad Mini 2 WiFi for flying with my Solo. I've been hearing mixed things about needing the Cellular capabilities for all the functions Solo has. Could anyone weigh in on whether or not they have used the iPad mini 2 Wifi for flight? I'm using my iPhone 6s right now...

    What backpack fits the 48 x 38 x 25 cm foam that comes with Solo and is easy to get Solo out?

    I carry solo around a bit and it is really inconvenient to carry solo in the original case when on a bicycle and the backpack 3dr offers is WAY WAY over priced (130 $ to 160 $) so I was wondering if anyone else has had any success putting the foam insert that came with solo into a back pack, and...

    3rd Solo Crash

    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...

    My 3DR Experience

    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...
