Of course, you've seen how DJI is responding with it's next update...

Solo has been great to me in this way too. When fighting an illness it proves a genuine lifesaver. Have great success with your recovery - and have fun too!

Here's a strange little idea I tried a few times in the past. I'd use two rubber balloons and a little connector gizmo carved from a cork and an inch of brass tubing.One balloon contained 3 Alka Seltzer broken into small pieces. The other was empty and the valve constructed to only allow air in...

My thoughts have and have always been: For professionals and those who wish only the best possible shots go with the Black. For amateur and just plain casual fliers who aren't likely to publish any pro shots go with the Silver. The touch screen adds a ton of convenience. I've got 4 Solos, one...

Almost all goggles automatically go to split screen. There's lots of guys here flying Solo that way. FatShark seem to be the most respected brand, but there are plenty of others. I kinda suspect the goal you're after is a genuine 3D view... but of course that is a whole lot more complicated.

A set of goggles maybe?

Good answer! Extremely and cryptically diplomatic (and satisfyingly self serving) too!

Yup, it's supposedly at Apple right now for approval and should available in a few days.

Hero 4 Silver or Black, take yer pick! They're getting a bit tough to find now though, and resultingly can be kinda pricey.

Now THAT is pure unadulterated BS. In 99.9 cases Solos have worked GREAT out the box.

Jeez. Everyone here knows what I mean. Go get a Mavic - they're becoming more available.

Only buy a Solo if you want the best device for capturing the best aerial cinematic shots on the market. And, just maybe, needing to fine-tune it a bit (and oh yes, let's remember, learning to fly it too). If that's not really what you're looking for - say you just want to throw the thing into...

They're really great props, no doubt about it. But if you really get down to the nitty-gritty - Solos stock props are excellent. It seems as if their main drawback is that they're pretty danged noisy! Heck, I like all the props I've tried so far - but don't think you're at a disadvantage if you...

Just thought I'd show the folks the landing. If you look closely you'll see when I go to full manual control to get the danged thing grounded.

I use one of my Silvers too. Medium FOV and linear mode. And 1080 - I'm not using my Solos for profit, and the convenience of the screen is seriously a plus.
