Hello folks,
so after a nightmarish event of dealing with 3dr, I finally received my gimbal and attempted to install it.
The installation was acceptable, I won't say it went smoothly because, that simply wouldn't be true (the wires definitely could of

It happens from time to time that I don't get a video feed on the 3DR Solo app as I prepare for flight. The Solo and the controller seem to be operating properly, and I can fly the Solo, but even though the GoPro 4 Black is on and recording at mediu

I'm in the UK and since yesterday morning I have been grounded due to a "compass calibration error". I've logged it with 3DR and sent all the info they asked for, but no more responses or help from them.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue, if s

after running some initial tests between my solo and phantom 3 pro, I've noticed that the phantom 3 has far more range than the solo.
Does anyone have any simple solutions that have been effective at achieving greater distance with an over

From what I've read on this site, the only way to discharge the smart battery would be to connect a light bulb to it and let that drain the power.
If that's correct, then what size (v) of bulb would I use?

Has anyone started using APM Planner with their SOLO for mission planning?
If you have, would you please share with me how I can make the connection. Do I have to dismantle my SOLO to get to the Autopilot or can it be done via the SOLO's wir
I got a Solo last week and took it out for its maiden flight on Friday. To my chagrin, the tablet mount doesn't fit a full size iPad. But I flew it anyway. Love it. Big fun.
Now, I had a Galaxy Tab 3 sitting on the shelf gathering dust so I decide

As some of you may have seen I did a recent blog on how I attached this gimbal to SOLO along with being able to control the tilt via SOLO's paddle.

I need the expertise of you guys to help me out, basically to understand how the SOLO battery is used.
Here are my simple questions that I am struggling with:
