"That was a great mod Jaime and I used it with much success, Thank you! However I put the file back to stock when I heard that the next update is supposed to have that fixed. Do you know if that is true? I would also like to modify the camera list to…"

Jubal Ragsdale replied to Eric Compas's discussion Solo crash -- GPS issue or...pilot error? in 3DR SOLO
"I too have been beating that drum since the introduction of the Solo. Every chance I get I tell new owners to program A or B to at least manual. This whole 'Pause' button as a security blanket thing is not working. When many of these new owners to…"

Jubal Ragsdale replied to Jubal Ragsdale's discussion 3DR Solo Gimbal Test.. The Basics in 3DR SOLO
"Hey Stuart,
In the description I mention that I used the Peau 4.35 lens. That is a non distortion lens and so there was no fisheye to correct for. With that lens I am also able to use the W setting and still not have the legs in the picture.
Hope…"

Jubal Ragsdale replied to Jubal Ragsdale's discussion 3DR Solo Gimbal Test.. The Basics in 3DR SOLO
"I have a set of short leg extensions that raise it about an inch, but I also usually take a small mat to take off/land on. That helps in both the grass and dirt locations."

My first test of basic functions with the new 3dr Gimbal on the Solo. Wind was light at 5-10mph. Temp was 87 at 6pm. GoPro Hero 4 Bk 1920x1080. Peau 4.35mm lens (yes there is slight discoloration in the corners). I'm no pro video editor..just the…

By working directly with GoPro, we’ve made Solo the first drone to offer complete control of your HERO3+® or HERO4® camera during flight. The new 3-axis gimbal delivers fluid HD video to your mobile device, offers in-flight…"

Jubal Ragsdale replied to Nick's discussion GoPro Hero 4 Black question(s) + range. in 3DR SOLO
"Hey Nick, Some users are getting over 2 miles on the Solo with full control and video. I have been out to 2000' on the stock antennas and still had signal. Same with the video signal.
The gimbal is supposed to ship this week, and with it it will…"

Jubal Ragsdale replied to Ahmed Agbabiaka's discussion Solo has been perfect for me in 3DR SOLO
"Hello Ahmed, Like you I have had my Solo for a month with many flights and never a glitch or single App crash. It flys excellent and has great range. There are certainly more people that have had our experiences with the Solo, but because of the…"

Jubal Ragsdale replied to Art Stroud Jr.'s discussion Solo #2 - First Flight in 3DR SOLO
""A lot is an accurate description. Too many is another. Hopefully each itineration of the FW along with hardware improvements will stem the tide."

Well at least we agree. 'A Lot' is not a number it is interpretive, and more than 1 is "too many" and…"

Jubal Ragsdale replied to Art Stroud Jr.'s discussion Solo #2 - First Flight in 3DR SOLO
"You have to keep the #s in prospective. 'A lot' is very few if going by the forums and youtube compared to the 1000s in the field. Those that have an issue with any product, from Mercedes to Sony, will always be the most vocal and should be. But…"

"Hi Marco,
You are correct here. her logs were analyzed and was confirmed. She is an inexperienced pilot that was flying nose in and made corrections in the wrong direction."

Jubal Ragsdale replied to Eric Compas's discussion Lost video feed after 1.0.5 update in 3DR SOLO
"Hey Randy,
I have seen others with the same problem that had to set their GoPro to 1080/30 M and they would get a picture. After that they could change it back to 60. It doesn't make sense but has worked for others."

"I was just reading on another forum where someone got slightly farther after the update. Today he went 4,450' and before the update went 4,100 in the same area before the update. But you have to have some sort of antenna connection problem or flying…"
