    Camera Mount - Lumix TZ110

    Excellent! Where did you get the aluminum frame? Did you just run a screw through the bottom and up into the tripod mount of the camera?

    Camera Mount - Lumix TZ110

    This is SO great! Can you go into detail on how you got the camera to stay in place? What modifications did you do to the stock gimbal? As a photographer, I'm more interested in still photos, so this is awesome!

    Whoa, whoa, whoa...what's this? The Deal!

    B&H also has the Hero 4 Black for $330. Had I not just bought my third Solo I'd be all over this deal.

    This will be a shock

    Interesting. You're fine with the max 12mp resolution?

    I just got off chat with Autel. Apparently their cameras are swappable, which is pretty sweet. The FLIR will be pretty cool too.

    This will be a shock

    No I did. I meant to say the current X Star doesn't have that great of a camera. When they launch the new one I'll be all over it. Then again, what's the main difference between DJI and Autel? Chinese vs. American? I don't know how they compare specs-wise.

    I was gonna say, the X-Star Premium currently only has a 12MP camera. I'm a photographer, so I'm very interested in drones that are better suited for aerial photography. The Solo is not one of those, it's just great with aerial footage. The stills, at 12MP max, are a little on the weak side. The...

    Gopro hero 3 + silver for 109 . Man. Refurb

    Only if you downgrade to v2.0, and that's with no camera control, only gimbal control.

    Can I fly with gimble but no GoPro?

    From what I've been told, it's not good to fly without the GoPro attached to the gimbal.

    1/12/2017 - $299 sale (Solo, battery, props, gimbal) is back on

    I'm trying to control myself with the props. You can always buy aftermarket props, but the batteries are a different story.

    1/12/2017 - $299 sale (Solo, battery, props, gimbal) is back on

    Looks like $39.99 is the gimbal price, not $35.99. That's the batteries. Backpacks appear to be sold out.

    Recognizing, avoiding, and responding to botched landings

    So you're saying my way of landing by pressing "fly" and letting it shut off that way isn't the best way to stop the motors? lol

    Should I Buy

    Fair enough, that's true. I've got 4 Solo's so I've got to defend my birds ;)

    Should I Buy

    I agree with most of this with the exception of the gopro part. The H4 black shoots in 4K and paired with your Solo it's a killer team. The 4 black is more expensive than the 5 because the 4 is more superior.

    Should I Buy

    Unfortunately you missed the deal for the week. They went back up to $500. I do recommend picking one up if/when they do drop in price. Fantastic drone.
