Even before Gimbal was out, for stabilized video everyone did the best we could without it, some were VERY good!.
Since the Gimbal, we are all turned perfectionist, or wanting video as close to perfect as possible.
I havn't did most the "stabilized video" mods except balancing Props & motors.
Since the last update from 3DR, I'm very happy with the video that i'm getting out of Solo.
Ha! That's funny future proof.They are being corrected, slowly but steadily. It's the terms "upgraded" and "improved" model that are irritating, in the same vein as Solo 2.
It's basically because Solo is sold as being future-proof, and for those of us who've been along for the ride from day one, we want them to really be such - improvements can be added along the way in each production run, while being easily added to our existing craft.
Not sure which mod you're talking about (shield vs replacement), but adding a cardboard shield in factory in addition to the copper would be a very simple and cheap thing for 3DR to do in their manufacturing process. And they could do it NOW. Pennies...The GPS is the most glaring issue that needs to be fixed, especially as it seems to be the main cause of most of the bad Solo incidents reported.
I have performed the mod on mine and it did improve, but an associates Solo that was misbehaving became a totally different machine after the mod, and now after grumbling about it's performance he is delighted with it.
Tower on iOS is another, or at least the ability to use Mission Planner or or APMPlanner to give us waypoint missions and the like.
But for now I would be happy with the GoPro settings being available for PAL in iOS. No they don't work in PAL mode (this might be a GoPro issue by the look of it) so I have to have my GoPro set to NTSC to be able to change settings on the fly.
