Hi,
So, I scp'ed the contents of the Solo's and controller's file systems to a local machine here so I could poke around. Lots of cool stuff in /usr/bin. I don't have any warranty-voiding plans, I'm mainly interested in learning how things work at thi

We have done some preliminary tests with the survey capabil

Can someone tell me which is the best app for the iPad Mini, for doing flight planning/waypoints etc?
Thanks.

Read more…Hi Everyone.
Does anyone know when the shipping to the UK will start, I have my pre-order in place ready so I was just wondering!
I would also like to get the backpack for the SOLO, who is supplying and/or manufacturing them please?
Regards.
Muzzy.

Read more…Hi all,
What sort of video latency (ballpark) are people seeing with the Solo and viewing the GoPro through the app? I'm seeing anywhere from 1-3 seconds, depending on how far out I'm flying.
Thanks,

Read more…Has anyone tried using the Tower App with their Solo?
If so, how did you get it working (how did you connect to the Solo)?
UPDATE:
Per Brad's comment below. Here are the steps.
Went to Best Buy to get extra batteries today. Huge struggle.The first guy I spoke to didn't think they carried the Solo. He'd never heard of it. The second guy took me over to their "drone section" which had the Solo kiosk already set up. He said he

Read more…Hi,
Does anyone know yet whether the Solo will be compatible with Mission Planner out of the box?
I would prefer to purchase a Solo instead of an X8+ but will require an ability to upload Mission Planner missions later this summer.
Thanks,
Rob
Read more…I am wondering if you can charge the $150 battery with your own charger? And can you replace the 4S battery yourself or is it impossible to get apart thus you have to buy the 3DR battery? Those are two things you cannot do with the Phantom that reall
Read more…Just wanted to share that I learned through Twitter communication with 3DR that the SOLO app doesn't support survey mapping; however, you can use the Tower app but apparently that voids your warranty, or at least the flight with Tower won't be covere

What is its max altitude above sea level?
There aren't enough specs available to use ecalc to figure out max altitude. At least I don't think there are... I've never used ecalc myself.
