Todd Harper replied to Todd Harper's discussion SOLO with Feiyu-Tech 3D MINI attached in 3DR SOLO
"While I have heard of that gimbal I have not used one personally so I have no experience for an opinion on it. If your good with modifying and soldering then it may be worth putting your time into. Remember though, it will void your warranty."

Todd Harper replied to Pauli Isoaho's discussion How to add more flight time to Iris+ in IRIS
"That's a tall order for IRIS. Are you looking to solely fly, shoot video, fpv?  Every action you do to increase flight time will ultimately have an effect on something else, an example is a bigger battery = increase in weight, increase the weigh =…"

"RPM,
Christian did a great write-up on the exact this topic for the IRIS+ a few months ago. He goes over the various situations of the FS's. Give it a read, most of the info can be applied to SOLO as well.…"

Todd Harper replied to Justin H.'s discussion Elevation impact on IRIS+ flight times. in IRIS
"Justin,
I consistently launch from elevations around 9,000ft and sometimes from areas ranging between 10,000 to 11,000ft without indecent.
My IRIS+ carries the same basic payload as yours and I typically see flight times of 6-8min, depending on…"
