"@Philip, great news, so where can I go purchase this plug n play optical flow that the firmware will recognize? Is there a link, or possibly a photo of the module?

"Has anyone attempted to get a vision positioning system going on the solo yet? Perhaps an inspire 1 or phantom 3 module for now until a solo specific one is released? Dji has been running them for over a year now.
The added safety benefits when gps…"

Craig P. replied to Erik Graham's discussion Optical flow for Solo in 3DR SOLO
"@ Erik, I believe Philip at 3DR is working on a module at the moment, however I can't speak as to when it will be available, as 3DR does tend to take time with most things.
I've been curious as to wether say a Inspire one or Phantom 3 vision…"

anyone attempt a wifi card upgrade as of yet? If so any recommendations on particular cards you've had success with?

"@Fish , thanks for your response,

what model of GoPro  model are you using? They all have different levels of compatibility, this is why I ask.

As with the Hero3+ Silver, it automatically freezes upon powering the system up, requiring the battery…"

"@Corbin,

Well if I personally had the choice to do it over again I would have never even considered buying the Solo!
3DR is nothing but a company built on false advertising, and being untruthful.

"@Philip, then please explain why on the back of the gimbal box it clearly states and I quote "Compatible with GoPro Hero3+, and Hero4" and does not state only with Hero4, however there is limited function for hero3+ (basically so minimal to the…"

"@Ray, I'm not sure, I can't speak on behalf of any other company, as I've never had to deal with them just yet... Although I didn't have to wait for a gimbal on my P3P so wasn't really an issue with regards to that aspect......

Anyone try the new…"

@Ray, thats good you finally got your gimbal! And I definitely hope you are correct with…"
