    Solo and Iris owners: Would the Solo fit in a Iris hard case?

    I have an opportunity to buy an Iris hard case for under $100. From a dimension comparison, the Solo is slightly smaller so it looks like it should fit in the case with some 'alterations' to the foam cutouts. The long dimension of the Iris body is perpendicular to the long axis of the rotor...

    Solo with GP 3+ Silver Not Taking Flight Plan Pics

    Just got introduced to this site and this is my first post! I'm new to the drone flying world, so it's good to know there are other folks out there to hopefully spread some wisdom. I have a question that's probably pretty simple. When I set up a flight plan in Mission Planner, upload it to my...

    DroneBase?

    Just figure to ask this question. Has anyone done any work for DroneBase using the Solo? And if so, can the parameters they want be achieved even if the Solo is used?

    V2 Shield Promo Code

    Does anyone know if there are any new promo codes for the Solo V2 shield? They worked wonders for my current 2 Solos & I'd like to hook number 3 up. $30 on the 3DR store seems a bit steep. The previous promo codes (FBGPSV2 and 3DRPGPSV2) no longer work Why didn't I order more when I had the...

    My first video

    Well, had my first ever drone flight the other day! Decided to do it over water in FAR too windy conditions because obviously that's the way to learn your fancy new drone. Even had to do a landing in manual mode, which was totally terrifying! (the GPS lock got lost when I landed in a cove with...

    Solo’s Camera Potential

    Hi everyone. I thought that GoPro was the only camera that fitted the gimbal. But I found some news from last year that cameras that fit the hardcase for GoPro will fit, also that if you have the time it's possible to develop a own gimbal and make it work for the platform. I will test a...

    PeauPro60 and PeauPro72 experiences?

    Hi all, Just picked up the Solo last week at the BestBuy deal and am looking to upgrade my Hero 4 Silver. I'm a long time photographer who is new to drones and I like the idea of a 30mm or 24mm lens. Has anybody purchased these? I only see the 22mm lens mentioned on here. The 30mm lens has a...
