3DR Solo for mapping/ survey/ precision ag

Posted by Peter M on May 2, 2015 at 11:13am

Greetings!

Does anyone have any idea if you will be able to use the 3DR Solo for mapping/survey applications like the X8-M? I know they both use the Pixhawk. Is this just a matter of connecting it to a 3DR radio and sending it waypoints through APM Planner or is there a firmware/software limitation?

Thanks in advance for the help!

        Hopefully it won't be long before tower is all sorted out and the same solo app GoPro triggering can be incorporated, fingers crossed!

Have been thinking this myself. They say it works with Mission Planner so I don't see why not. With flight time of 20 min with camera and gimbal that should be good for 100 plus acres. With a less heavy camera mount than the stock gimbal maybe longer. This would be a very attractive option vrs my custom built rigs that take time to get sorted out and flying correctly.
