Read more…Unlike the Iris+ or X8+, Solo's Follow Me function has a major flaw... the phone being followed must remain in close proximity to the controller because it can not transmit its location directly to the Solo. Everything has to go through the controlle
Read more…Does anyone know what WPNAV_LOIT_JERK is?http://copter.ardupilot.com/wiki/arducopter-parameters/#wpnav__parametersThe only description there is, "Loiter maximum jerk in cm/s/s/s"As a follow up, why are the following Params prefixed with "WPNAV" ?Base
Read more…I left a couple smart batteries fully charged for a couple weeks. Got them out today to discharge down to 50% - just like I do with Iris batteries to keep them healthy.Turns out all the batteries were at 40 or 50%. Does this mean that Solo's smart ba

Personally, I've never been a fan of storing props loose in a bag or case. I've gotten used to it, but I don't like it. Props should be protected. The sli
Has anyone started working on retracts for the Solo?I think I might tinker with it while I wait for the gimbal to arrive.
Read more…Anyone have any experience taking off from boats with an Iris+?
Same question for landing on a boat....
I'm pretty sure I can pull it off. If I leave early enough the lake will be flat, almost glass flat. However, any slight wind or wave, or movement
Read more…There were pictures of Solo's with the Blackmagic mini camera. Is that going to happen (with a gimbal and control of the camera while in flight)?http://diydrones.com/photo/3dr-solo-with-the-blackmagic-micro-cinema-camera-at-nab-2015-1?context=latest
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…It sounds like you will be required to keep your mobile device with the controller during follow-me. This means you can't just throw a phone in a mountain biker/skier's pocket and tell them to go (while you keep the controller to take back control i
Read more…It would be nice to have some more detailed specs on the Solo.
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.
Anyw
Read more…I was just checking out eCalc and it turns out you have to pay for access by the month. It actually feels kind of shady. Are there any alternatives?
Read more…It sounds like the Solo App doesn't have waypoint/ROI mission planning capability. We will still need to use the Tower App for that. (Or Mision Planner, APM 2.0, etc)
Read more…After upgrading to an Iris+ from a DJI Phantom, one thing I missed about the Phantom was the ability to hand catch instead of landing on the ground. Sounds crazy I know. I don't recommend anyone do it, but if you spend some time with Phantom user g

There are online calculators to figure
Read more…Rumor is we will finally be able to control a GoPro in flight. That is actually pretty big news as far as I'm concerned.
For video, I am a fan of the GoPro... particularly the Hero 4 Black, but also the Hero 3. It is definitely superior to DJIs came
