The gimbal must be any day now if they have time to mock up an LED light.

As a P3 owner looking to get a SOLO when available in the UK primarily for the smart shots and secondly because the concept is interesting I would point out that currently my original fear with DJIs SDK approach is currently a reality. We have a number of developers such as Autoflight Logic...

So I said 2-3 years which is absolutely possible to roadmap and any decent company including 3DR and DJI are planning years a head and remember their products are a combination of technology and marketing designed to make us consumers purchase year on year. If either one of them is not working...

I said on the Phantom 3 forums that the GoPro was a nice option as you can mount the GoPro on the SOLO, a helmet, a handheld gimbal and take in the water and always achieve the same style footage even though it is fish eyed. The thing is having used the Phantom 3 for 6 weeks or so I will say...

Agreed that a lens without fish eye distortion would have been the preferred innovation. Does the SOLO not power the go pro so the integrated battery is only a concern if you are putting this on a selfie stick or your head?

I don't mind integrated batteries, and I can never get the battery out of my Hero 3 anyway. I can't get the SOLO in the UK yet but does it not power the camera anyway?

Smaller and I am guessing lighter, perhaps a future second gimbal model - http://www.wired.com/2015/07/new-gopro/

Nice flyby half way through. How do you and your friend think the two compare?

It would make more financial sense to take the refund and buy another once the gimbal is released. They're not available in the UK as yet, but I did consider picking one up from Best Buy last week when I was in the US. However without the gimbal and with problems why bother - may as well keep...

Well that is a positive response from them. Its a scary issue though as their controller does not appear to be filtering out bad data and acting on it. This is the first 3DR device I have considered having had DJI Phantoms 1 through 3 and not aware of the controller in the SOLO. Has it never...

Lets hope its the gimbal as it would be great to see its full potential.

1st, whats your problem? you need to calm down; 2nd, you're the first not to understand as you first posted that it wasn't smooth because it did not have a gimbal; 3rd, you need to calm down; 4th, the purpose of that video is to demonstrate the modes of the SOLO so the orbit is not manual...

Always best to read the original post first and understand what you are referring to. Also, you do know that the orbit, cam and selfie are executed by the controller not the person. So in the case of an orbit it's not you on the sticks so I am sure you'll master it.

Have to admit the Orbit is not as smooth as I would like but the rest is impressive. Great tones as well, what a great place to fly during the golden hour!
