Don’t know if you got my PM. Still interested. Zip is 95076.

I’m in. PayPal ok?

J Here’s the back side along with the portable I keep in the case when hiking afar.

Sure does help. I was hoping it would be that easy. Thanks,

My Solo has been including the photo data on stills and videos. It’s gotta be a minor setting problem, but I can’t find anything in the manuals. Any help? Thanks.

Mine is 2 sections of 1/4 inch ply forming a two foot square. The brass hinge is mounted on the back with brass nuts and bolts. It’s light and portable. Don’t have to stake it down.

I’ve got two Solos and one P3P. The Solos are pretty much the workhorses for video and SAR, the P3 for mapping and stills. Just a preference.

Even with a clear view if the sky GPS signals can be affected by a nearby structure or trees.

Ok, I'll keep at it. And, thanks. Great website with members willing to help.

Good so far, but I stared at the "Mavlink Connecting" loading thing for about 20 minutes before I canceled it. Got 10 satellites inside the house, though.

I want to use MP and other apps for my Solo, but can't get past the connect the controller to computer prompt. No problem with the DJI, but the HDMI port on the Solo controller is different. Should I buy a cable and use that port?

The TFR (Temporary Flight Restriction) in place during a fire or for other reasons is for the safety of all. Please, let's all stay clear. The altitudes of the fire-fighting helicopter I flew ranged from zero at the water source to maybe a few hundred feet between the water source to the fire.

I'll blame that on spell check. Great little drone. I fly it around the house a lot also. Makes the Solo "Fly Manual" mode a non-event.

The Symantec X5 seems like an inexpensive way to get into drones. I've been beating mine up for over a year now. It takes a lot of punishment from crashes. I've replaced two motors so far - I fly mine a lot in and outdoors. A pack of four motors cost around 8 becks total on eBay.

Glad to hear there's still some tech support available. I couldn't turn my controller off once, so I disconnected the battery. After reconnecting it, I haven't had any problems.
