Right I state my opinion based on actual facts that happened. And I get called names like I'm in grade school. Sensitive group much??
I wish the solo was great. I spent over $1000 hoping for an awesome experience. But I got the opposite. My time is valuable. I want a product that works. Not one where I spend more time fixing and updating it. It's that simple. And the fact they are out of the consumer drone market backs me up
Did you copy one of my threads? Hahaha! I agree that your approach isn't the best. .. However, your concerns are legitimate. I've owned several Solos with every one having one problem or another. I bought all the mods, GPS shields, GPS modules, antennae, leg extenders, leg sliders, props, gimbal clip, hdmi cable, extended battery for the controller, tablets, etc. I spent way more on mods than I did on the drone itself! Even after all that time and money, I still had a platform that I was nervous to fly. That was still glitch ridden and outdated. Even my last flight with my "A" unit, which resulted in a crash that I thought was my fault, turned out to have been a glitch. The video shows my unit dropping down about 5' into some power lines. I assumed that I must have done it by mistake of it was the fault of my inattention. Turns out that it was some kind of "power management" problem that caused it to momentarily lose power and before it could correct itself, or I could correct it.... power lines, river. I sent back what I have left and I'll see what 3dr says. BTW they haven't mentioned my MRO GPS module yet, I'd be surprised if they don't though. How else do you account for 21 sats on a Solo? I'd imagine that component info is available in the logs, right?
In any case, my advice to the op is to contact 3DR, wait for their response and in the meantime buy a new drone. I saw the Yuneec with real sense, case, Wizard wand, etc for $1200 the other day. I personally went with the Karma for reasons outlined on another thread. If 3DR hooks you up with a "new" refurbished unit, you shouldn't have any trouble selling it here. Oh and considering you can buy a brand new unit for $285 with gimbal and batteries for $50 each...in fact, I can buy everything you have from B&H for $550 brand new, $400 complete kit with backpack and $150 for 3 batteries.
