The Solo is slated for a 25-minute flight time, although that will get whittled down to 20 minutes beneath payload (GoPro, disorders, pilot skill): We uncovered the number to hover closer to 16 or 17 minutes with the GoPro firing away up in the air. Portion of the battery drain is due to the truth that the Solo powers the GoPro while it can be up in the air.
