    Combined my drone hobby with my running passion

    Sorry...."follow" is too simple for the solo :) LOL I guess my comparison is not valid. I don't know what MPCC means but it looks like cable cam? I guess it's great if you're trying to make a movie. You plan a flight path and camera angle only?

    Combined my drone hobby with my running passion

    The current Yuneec 4k can do this much much easier and better than the new P4 active tracking. I personally think the P4 active tracking is a joke because it's too easy to lose the tracking. The Yuneec Wizard implementation is much more practical and it works. You just put the wizard in your...

    Questions for those that own both a Solo and either a P3 or P4?

    you sound like you have no brain but lots of money to waste....:)

    Questions for those that own both a Solo and either a P3 or P4?

    My front door is exactly at the 5 miles mark. I tried to call air traffic controller to ask for permission to fly. I told them that my house is exactly 5 miles south of the airport (civilian and military). They had no freaking clue and won't tell me Yes or No. I told them that i will be flying...

    3D Robotics cuts jobs, refocuses on corporate market

    This just indicates that 3DR was not able to compete with the likes of DJI or Yuneec. i think the gimbal wait time and the price were the real problems that did them in. And then there were a bunch of other issues. The competition was too great to overcome. Laying off employees is just a bad...

    The competition is heating up and it's good! DJI and Yuneec

    Thank you. Did I touched a nerve? :) LOL I was just commenting on the P4 and Typhoon 4; wasn't doing a review especially when I have neither. What? We can't comment on features and compare? Really? ...I don't have money laying around to afford buying different ones. btw, what's you fascination...

    The competition is heating up and it's good! DJI and Yuneec

    Why do you have to be like that? :) Don't you agree that competition brings out the best in everyone and promotes innovation? I have sense that you would love for DJI or Yuneec to fail. Personally, I'm not loyal to any one company. Respectfully, I think that you are way too loyal to 3DR and it...

    The competition is heating up and it's good! DJI and Yuneec

    Yuneec just announced the pricing and release date for the Typhoon H. I think it is a better value over the Phantom 4 and it is $100 less at $1300. Of course, this is the only basic bundle but they are also throwing in TWO controllers. For starters: - 6 Rotor Bird with retractable landing gear (...

    3D Robotics No Longer Taking Calls

    I get it. 3DR has the best customer service but it can only goes so far after a while. Seriously even the less known competitors are already catching up. Right now DJI and Yuneec are leading the industry. At some point 3DR must compete or else they will become irrelevant . I hope they will.

    Get a 3DR Solo quadcopter with gimbal for $799

    They have to drop the price because of pressures from so much competition. I think 3DR is in danger of being irrelevant soon if they don't come up with something new and exciting.

    Anything new coming?

    The DJI Phantom 4 was announced today..... DJI's revolutionary Phantom 4 drone can dodge obstacles and track humans It's pretty impressive for $1399

    Anything new coming?

    But I hope DJI, 3DR, and Yuneec succeed and be competitive. The industry needs at least three players. It keeps them honest.

    Anything new coming?

    The prosumer market will get even more competitive this year. DJI will lose market share if they can't continue to innovate and add new product or features that continue to give them a significant advantage. With that said, it is even more difficult for 3DR. You can say 3DR has better flight...

    Anything new coming?

    At this point I don't understand why both DJI and 3DR have been so secretive about upcoming product or features. Autel and ProDrone are coming out with birds that matches Lightbridge in distance. What is up with yuneec and 3dr not stepping up to compete in that arena? I think the price point...

    Anything new coming?

    DJI is ready to announce the Phantom 4. Yuneec will release the Typhoon H in April/May. ProDrone Byrd Premium will be released March 15 Then you have Autel X-Star Premium...... Nothing planned for 3dr/Solo?
