3DR SOLO - GPS Upgrade & Printed Drone Parts
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 лют 2017
- Video showing how to upgrade the GPS on a 3DR Solo Quadcoper, along with a few 3D printed part additions. Similar 3D models can be found on the web, but I decided to make my own Leg Extensions and Gimbal holder, as I wasn't happy with the ones I found. Here is a link to purchase these parts from me if you need them printed.

i love the two iso plates i got from you and they got to me in time!!!! thanks!!!!
Awesome job thank you!
Just to add confirmation to a GREAT GPS upgrade from MRO... I installed mine and now receive 25 sats @ .5 HDOP. in ~2 min. I live in the Houston area not sure if this geographical location has anything to do with it, but I'm happy with this newest, MODIFICATION.
Ordered!
Thank you for the suggestions! Do you have a Thingiverse account with these posted, or did you just print someone else's design?
hello, great video. my solo Flys amazing. my question is when I fly from a cliff side and send the solo below the altitude shown on controller it's OK to drop below take off altitude.? thanks for posting.
Great job on the video, do you sell the printed parts?
just curious why everyone picks lime green for the leg extensions,, is black not avail in 3d printing??
hi any video on how to put the isolation plate on the rev A/B thank you and can we ues the gimble lock with out the Gopro camera thank you great items
Manuel Vargas, Rev A/B Isolation Plate install method is the same as shown in this video. This particular gimbal lock design will only work with the GoPro nested in the gimbal.
Very nice, you wanna share the gimbal holder file?
were can I download the STL files to print my own parts?
I would remove the green piece for the GPS. Why add another layer of something between it and the sky? I hear people are seeing like 20 sat's with this GPS. Kinda expected you'd see the same in the middle of Utah. I get my mRo GPS in a few days and hope to improve my GPS count.
I just got a 3dr were did u get the transmitter nubs i like them!
Here is the link to the ones I purchased for the Solo amzn.to/3brG1Ex
You mentioned getting the files off of line can you tell us where you got the and what model 3 D printer did you use. I would like to build the plastic parts you have. I know 3D printers have really come down and just wondering which Monel you used and where can I get the files thank you
The parts are all on Thingiverse, but be aware I modified 2 of the 3 files pretty heavily. Initially printed on a Monoprice Mini, but sold it. Recently purchased and assembled an Original Prusa i3 MK2, and now print on that.
How did it fly with the GPS upgrades? I was interested in how the upgrade affects cable cam and other smart shots.
wooskie29 No issues to report. Flies great with both the stock 3DR app and also SOLEX.
A great video I had a question I have a 3dr solo drone same as the one in the video. It's stuck on the pre-flight update, drone factory reset, not connecting to the app, is there any way you can help?
I haven't experienced that particular issue, but there are a few active 3DR Solo Facebook groups that can help.
does that Tarot GOPRO T-3D Metal 3 Axis Brushless Gimbal for GoPro 4 Session TL3T02 work on the solo?
Coach K, I have seen a few examples of Tarot gimbals on a Solo to control Flir cameras, but it seemed there was a lot of modding involved and little support from the forum community on the subject.
Bey man, id like to ask you a few questions. I just bought my 3dr used and im happy with it. But i like to fix things up so id like to know more about the parts you have available. Do you have to reprogram after installing the gps mod?
Stuart Mccuaig, nope! The mRo GPS upgrade is plug-n-play. Pretty easy, and instantly get better results once installed.
MrArmagedd0n can i buy the gps shield from you ? Im not interrsted in the gimbal lock or stilts. If so, how much?
Stuart Mccuaig, here you go.

To remove the GPS Shields dont pull the sides out at all. Use your thumb and middle finger to press in the sides of the GPS Shield to make the top bow up a little bit then wriggle it sideways and she comes straight off. If your fingers are slippery then wipe the side of the shield with a paper towel and wipe your hands to. Go practise!
hello. is there any places to get other spare part's for solo?
john Benussi Bass join the 3dr solo fb group.
..i see no option for the Hero 4 Silver Gimbal Lock. Is it the same as the Hero 4 Black?
Yes, the Gimbal Lock for Hero 4 Silver/Black are the same. Only the Hero 3 is different as it requires balance weights.
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.
Eugene Williams haven't experienced that myself, so can't help here. Try the 3DR Solo Owners Facebook group. Lots of good stuff there, and people willing to help troubleshoot.
ok thanks
HI YOU NEED TO DITCH THE 3DR APP AND PURCHASE SOLEX APP!
david ringler I have SOLEX. Just showing the 3DR app as it is more familiar for most SOLO users.
So is this plug and play?? no changes within solo computer needed??
mrreddog, Yes "Plug and Play" it is. Once installed, there is nothing more you need to do to start flying again.
where did u purchase the gps isolation shield?
oh ok so it comes with the new gps an new iso shield
any link where to buy the GPS module from MRO
store.mrobotics.io/product-p/gps001-mr.htm
Hey I'm Looking from that Same pink M.R.O. where could I've purchase one ?????
I purchased it directly from their website a few years back. Not sure who stocks them now.
Hi, I just bought a Solo from Best Buy. How can I find out if it has the new GPS B ?
RonnieB300, if the GPS Board is green its REV A. I highly recommend the mRobotics GPS upgrade shown in my video. Makes a huge difference in faster GPS acquisition, and lessens the chances of a flyaway. Also check out my Mods for the Solo. www.etsy.com/shop/MrArmsProjectShop?ref=s2-header-shopname
MrArmagedd0n Thank you Sir
Where can I buy the gimbal lock and the leg extensions
Pat Mcnairy, didn't purchase them. Made the part with a 3D Printer.

Here are the links www.thingiverse.com/thing:2012569 www.thingiverse.com/thing:1469963 www.thingiverse.com/thing:1521835 to print the parts.
Jon Car The GPS plate is good as is with the mRobotics upgrade. I had to redesign the gimbal lock as that one is made to work with the balancing weights. I use a Hero 4 black, so don't need the weights, and that lock kept popping off. Also redesigned the leg extensions as those ones don't stay open very well. Added a locking mechanism to keep them open better.
MrArmagedd0n can you post the parts to thingiverse
hello. is there any places to get other spare part's for solo?
I have seen various spare parts on eBay. I few others (including me) have purchased a 2nd Solo kit when they went as low as $300, with the intention of using for parts if needed.
Hopefully we will see a company making part's soon..., can't stop flying this model . It's amazing
B&H Photo Video has most of the parts (new).
Solopartsdepot.com has many good used parts.
Spare parts Solos are available on eBay for under $60.
