Talk about the 3DR Solo quadcopter
4K Action Camera Wifi WiMiUS L3 2.45'' LCD Touch Screen $42 off
There is a lot to like about the WiMius L3 16MP 4K Action Cam as it's undoubtedly a worthy competitor to the GoPro at a sharp fraction of the price. It's simply amazing what they were able to do in such a tight package. It does 4k video , 60fps 1080p video, has a webcam mode which would be used on youtube if necessary, comes with a variety of different accessories like the go pro which includes the signature case and many many other cool things as well. I use a program called Bandicam I was…

Walkera make an awesome gimble that's really cheap. Does Solo come with a GoPro interface?
As for PixHawk, learn to backup the parameters before you alter anything.
Why is it taking so long to produce the gimble??

And that's just the beginning... There is so much can be done with the Co-computer as well... Tried Drone kit?
So many possibilities!
Without sounding impolite how does Solo fitting to the DIY category. One of the innate problems with out-of-the-box UAV solutions are issues like this.
Best of luck.
Anyone know if the Flight Simulator accessible yet? Or I was it simply a great idea that may never come to fruition?
First solo flight tonight. Overall very impressed and happy with it's performance. It only takes a couple minutes to get into the air. Very stable and latency was surprisingly low. I can already see the need for upgraded antennas as it was pretty easy to reach maximum range.
Now to get more batteries and put this thing to work!
Well I flew the Solo for the first time tonight without a hitch. This was an impulse purchase, but I needed a compact unit for our trip and my other copters are just too darn big, not to mention the chargers and all the wiring etc.The box fits obscurely in the trunk.
After using traditional RC radios for 30 years it took some getting used to, but the startup procedure is no big deal. Out of the box it took less than an hour to get in the air (I read slow).
To be honest I wasn't expecting such stability and smooth flying. If there are issues people are having with Solo, it isn't with the one I bought. I believe the latest update (shortly before I purchased) may have corrected some bugs.
In any event, although I have no gimbal, the plan is to get some decent video on our trip. After the first few flights it's starting to grow on me. I'm confident 3DR is committed to continually improving. After spending $$$ on this unit, all I can say is there better not be a Solo (+) in a few months :)
Looks like the Solo is starting to ship in Canada. I got a notification this morning that mine is in the mail from Great Hobbies!
