3DR Solo Mods - LED Lights - Landing Extenders - Better Antennas

[@Showmewithvideos]

Its one of the best drone I've bought. I had bout about 4 prior to this one. Solo has paid for itself 100 times over!

[@griffinumbrellaco6082]

Great video! We are considering these modifications for our Solo as well!

[@dmuegge]

Yes, a fantastic flyer. I'd like to see how the lights show up for orientation, 200 - 300 feet away, please.

[@raleighmack5024]

Yes, in Timmonsville S.C. l love flying my solo 3dr drone just a lot of fun.

[@nathansmith3840]

Are both of the antennas the same?

[@guglielmodicarlo4139]

gotta ask, why is it that everyone that buys those leg extenders gets them in Lime Green?? whats up with that

[@CapturedVideosByGene]

can u tell me why my solo keeps losing signal i send it out about 50 to 60ft an it lost signal and comes back home i tryed the apa antennas i get the same thing.

[@vedhed21]

Great vid, fellas. Just picked mine up and will be doing all these mods. Very helpful for a noob.

[@readysetdrone]

Right on. That is one great thing about the Solo - lots of possibility to customize it.

[@Porsche996driver]

Awesome tips guys I've bookmarked those Alfa antenna. Those lights look like Close Encounters of the 3DR kind lol. Why is Colin leaving 3DR?

[@readysetdrone]

Thanks for watching! I don't know why Colin left 3DR, but he does have a blog and web site, so I'm sure you can keep up with him there. Thanks for watching!

[@johnrobertson7583]

Windfoam on the mic please!! Good vid, thanks. I love 3d printing and will look for those.

[@emili90110]

i get 6,800 feet with stock antenna. and with the alfa i got 8,700feet because of battery i turned back

[@acappas911fromnasa6]

Yadher Bustamante hi friend , how you can do?? i have one 3dr with alfa antenas but i wanna more range

[@diegolara8081]

Is there a video on getting the board between the gps and the metal thing to strength the gps signal??

[@darc12808]

Yes, here's one below. 3DR Solo store sells the new sheild which is better than card board that others are using because it's an EMI absorbing polymer shield. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJXJn6aphdhmfdk

Does the front left leg appear on the video of the GoPro when the Gimbal is tilted down to 70 to 30 angle?

[@seniorspaz8754]

+GuitaroholicSymptom I tend to notice the props more in my videos from my SOLO. I don't think I've ever seen my legs though.

[@GuitaroholicSymptom]

+SeniorSpaz87 Well at 90 degree angle the Props are Visible but at 70 to 30 degree angle the leg of my Solo is Visible at 4k resolution. Tho i watched some raw video using the same setting with the only difference is my solo's left leg appears on the view.

[@ChrisParayno]

does the lights drain the battery alot? does it cast a shadow at low light conditions?

[@2dimples_dad255]

+Ready Set Drone is it an easy install? I've been thinking about it.

[@2dimples_dad255]

Thanks for the information!

[@tonyparson4392]

Do the lights drain your battery any faster?

[@readysetdrone]

Yes, but not much. might take you from 15 minutes of flight time to 14:30. Thanks for watching!

[@GodlessGlen]

By the time we buy all those accessories were spending a small fortune. The bad thing about this drone is the cost especially considering it doesn't come with the gimbal and camera. Kinda crazy.

[@ChrisParayno]

but that's the purpose of a platform upgradability. it's much cheaper then buying a whole new platform. just buy strategically!

[@Thinqb]

I got mine last week for $599 bundled with a Gimbal on Amazon: amzn.to/29rDkS2

[@jaferlastname1760]

+ThinCube Thats an amazing deal to bad i got the phantom 4

[@Thinqb]

NotaHipster How are you liking it? Were you already flying DJI before getting the 4?

[@davidringler7131]

POLARPRO ALSO MAKES PROPGUARDS FOR THE SOLO THAT ARE OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY AND HOOK ON FAST AND COME OFF EASY AND LOOK REALY COOL IT MAKES THE SOLO LOOK EVEN BETTER!!!! YOU WONT REGRET BUYING THE HEAD & TAIL LIGHTS SET AS WELL AS THE PROPGUARDS FROM POLARPROFILTERS THE BEST MONEY CAN BUY!!!

[@RavenMaven]

You need to invest in a wind sock for your microphone man... I can't hear the guy talk half the time.

[@kevinlarson1522]

Great vid, and informative. But piss poor wind blowing sound

[@InternetGoldMiner]

I did every mod including new radios... And it was still a pain in the ass. Its not a very good drone for any professional use and if your a prosumer dump it. However if you are recreational user its fine. However the money you put into it for mods you could be flying a P4 and have a much better camera and complete platform. I wish that wasn't true because I would love to have a US company building stuff like dji does. Fact is nobody does and its hard to find anything that competes with the price point.

[@HL99DMD]

Love it!
