If you don’t have a cellular connection on your phone or tablet, you can use the app to cache satellite imagery of the area you’ll be flying in before heading out.Have a rotorcraft that has two or more horizontal rotors?īicopters, Tricopters, Quadcopters, Pentacopters, Hexacopters, Octocopters, indeed any non-fixed-wing aircraft is very welcome here. This move is relatively easy to do manually, but it’s still nice to have an automatic option especially as Selfie mode tilts the camera during the move to ensure you’re always the centre of the frame.įor all Smart Shots, you can use the satellite map view to check for obstacles (it has no built-in obstacle avoidance), or to make it easier to position the Solo. Once it has reached the furthest point, the Solo keeps recording and returns to the start position on the same trajectory. When you’ve fine-tuned the starting position in the air, you can use the sliders to adjust the speed and final height: press Play and Selfie mode sees the Solo shoot backwards and upwards – a camera move called a reveal in cinema terms.
You could use this, for example, at a racetrack or any location where you want the drone to stay in one place but keep track of you as you move around. This means the Solo will hover where it is, but turn to face you at all times. Another mode within Follow me is Watch Me. Depending on its position relative to you, it could be following behind you, panning at the side, or even in ‘push mode’ when you’re travelling towards it. The Solo will remain focused on your position and move at the same speed as you move. Every last detail of the flight is logged and recorded by the controller so you can create a support request via the app and send all the information about the problematic flight to 3DR.įollow me is also self-explanatory. There are, of course, no cast iron guarantees that any quadcopter will always return, but 3DR is so confident that it will replace your Solo if it malfunctions or goes missing (and even your GoPro) as long as it wasn’t your fault. If it gets no further information, it’s programmed to return to the home location. If there’s a problem and the flight controller stops receiving information, it waits for the Linux computer to reboot and simply hovers in place. Instead of the transmitter communicating directly with the flight controller, commands are sent via the Linux computer. It’s the only consumer quadcopter we know of to do this. Last, but certainly not least, the Solo mitigates the possibility of flyaways by using a Pixhawk 2 flight controller in conjunction with a 1GHz Linux-based computer (and a second computer in the controller). In the future it might be possible to buy higher quality, more powerful motors which would be impossible to provide on a mass-produced quadcopter. The Solo is also “built to evolve” and has swappable motor pods. 3DR argues that few people need to fly indoors or in areas with no GPS coverage, so it’s better to have a more expensive, higher-quality positioning system for those who really need it.

It could, for example, house a parachute for safety when flying the Solo indoors, and 3DR is already working on an indoor flight system which uses optical flow sensors which it says are better than sonar (which the Phantom 3 Advanced and Professional have). One is its expansion bay which will be used for various things in the future. There are a couple of other noteworthy design features about the Solo.
