This normal? Just opened my Solo and found this...

[allen_993]

Just opened mine up to replace GPS board and found the same thing...so it seems to be pretty common...I'm not worried about it.

Me neither. Again, flies fine. Just messy.

What did the Hindenburg, TWA Flight 800, the Space Shuttle Challenger, Malaysian Airlines Flight 370, and Amelia Earhart all have in common? Too much residual flux on the solder joints!

Just sayin'...

So... Can I get a bottle of that at Fry's?
I'm a photographer and keep my optics clean. Guess I'll have to do the same with my tripod in the sky.

looks like someone solo went for a lite swimming

 

[PaulClement]

Man... that's the cleanest Solo board I have ever seen.

 

[PaulyDude]

It's not on any of my solo boards, must be happy children makin' em. It's not 5v out it's Battery out, that could range from 15v to 12v depending on how much charge is left.

What did you use to cover the hole on the bottom of the camera mount plate?

 

[allen_993]

Funny you should ask. I just happened to have a rubber grommet laying around that fit the hole perfectly. I then got a black plastic hole plug from Home Depot that fit inside the grommet perfectly. I tried to find another grommet EVERYWHERE and could not. My other Solo has a gimbal/camera...so the one grommet/plug is all I needed.

Looks factory. I'm going to search online for something similar. Thanks

This will have to suffice until I find a rubber grommet lol. Not as clean but it should do the job as far as keeping dust out. Cut a piece of thin cardboard, painted it black and hot glued it. [emoji41]

This may be a silly question, but if you don't use your Solo with a camera, what do you use it for?

This is my 3rd Solo that just got delivered 2 days ago. My first Solo has a gimbal with a GPH4 black. I'm planning on using this one just to have fun with and demonstrate it to friends and family.

Yep... It's called flux

I think I missed a spot... I went back in for some more cleaning! Haha!

You switched it with a new one lol. Nice job!!

Also a pause button spotlight for another attachment.

What search lights are those? And were they pretty easy to install?

 

[AlienPanda]

LOL...I currently don't use a camera, so the camera frame sticking out of the bottom was driving me nuts. I had to get rid of it! Of course my Solo flies soooo much better without it.

Where did you find the cap to cover up hole in the middle?

Never mind what I asked. I just found out this question has been answered. Lol
