Hello all, I bought my Solo a few weeks ago and seem to be running into some issues. First of after unboxing I updated the app, Solo, controller, and GoPro. They should all be on the latest firm/software I know Solo and controller is 2.4.
Now for the issues:
1. Hovering- My Solo does not hover very well it will either fly in a circle or just be generally all over the place. It is really bad when close to the ground about 3 feet or less off the ground it gets really bad which makes landing a pain because it does not stop moving, mostly back and forth, and a lot of vertical movement, not side to side. I have done both the compass and level calibrations and they didn't help at all. Some people seem to be saying the stick calibration haven't tried yet anybody know if this works?
2. Gimbal- I have a lot of vibration in my videos, not sure what is causing this. I have opened a ticket with 3dr but they are the slowest I have ever seen. I have checked my wiring and install twice and all looks good. Green light on the gimbal. I have tried new props that the Solo came with and didn't seem to help. Would balancing props help this issue at all?
3. Hot motors- My buddy has a Solo as well we bought them at the same time. After he gets done flying his motors are just warm not big deal I expect that. What I don't expect is what mine does which is hot to the touch almost scolding. What could be causing this issue? Is it linked to the hovering issue (my buddy's has 0 issues hovering while in the air or close to the ground)?
Thanks in advance.
