Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
First time owner of a UAV - the 3DR Solo. Purchased Solo and gimbal in August of 2015. The Solo UAV has opened up and expanded my photography and video abilities. Learning to fly and operate Solo has been a pleasure, with a little bit of mod's and tweaking...

"Do you have what page on the 3DR site you used? You can fill out a ticket and they will eventually email you. Going on 4 days, 1 email from them and no answer back. If you have a link on that 'form' I would appreciate you paste it here."
"Well, I'm going to miss it as I got immediate support and was very pleased with it. We shall see how long it takes for an email/support ticket response. All I really need is a Solo App .sdk file as my original LG G3 phone I have been using for the…"
"Thanks. I'm on call 24-7 and that is all I need to GTFOD and hit the road. More batteries and a spare charger have been had, plus the DC/AC Inverter in the Jeep is good!
Cheers, and fly safe!"

"Same one I use, I do not know what fellow Solo pilot mentioned it on the Facebook page, however it works great on my Nexus 10 even though it's a little top heavy, and I keep my hand on the tablet when bending down or moving = highly recommended for…"
"I also have the 3DR backpack, which IMHO is awesome for the price. Don't understand why your tablet does not fit in the inside pocket as I have an older Nexus 10 that fits, with a case/cover. You talk about a slot? Not sure, but again I use the…"
"I always land at minimum 25% battery, or close to it.
I'd build my own UAS in the future, but have my hands full with a robot I'm working on.
Speaking of open source - I run Linux/Ubuntu on my desktop system.

"UPDATE:
If you look at the followup on another forum, battery loss was determined by Controller/link failure. The battery was at 60% then the Controller display back-light turned orange and the displayed data froze. Also, on the tablet the…"

"Of course Solo will auto-land I believe at 10% no matter where Solo is located. My issue was Solo was too far away and to high in ALT when the battery went to 0%, so it was free-fall time."
"So, you really are telling me the internal HDMI cable inside Solo failed? Interesting. I'm wondering if it's from those of us that were using it to connect to GoPro prior to getting a gimbal, plugging and un-plugging, no video, etc.? Well, at…"
"BTW: did you have the same issue, or just re-stating others problems that found and replaced a stock 3DR faulty internal HDMI cable. I cannot fathom a static cable just 'failing'. Just wondering. Thanks..."
"Thanks, yes I'm techno type/engineer. Wonder if I should just go ahead and buy the 'flex' cable offered in the groups.
I'm hoping it's not the cable that connects to the Gimbal, nor the GoPro HDMI connector itself, but the internal HDMI from board…"

"I'm not sure if this is valid after last update. I have not had the chance to test it yet after update due to the windy weather here. You might ask at the forum though.
