    First Flight....Okay, I'm Officially Hooked!

    i hear you but better do it soon as stocks might get scarce and price might go up. just like the solo gimbal, i didn't realize price now is $200 to think that i bought my gimbal months ago for only $45.

    B&H batteries $50

    what - gimbal is now $200. i didn't see that coming. i should have kept the ones that i bought for $45. i used to have 5 of those but decided not to keep them all. so with this thing happening, do we really need to buy more solos as the price might go up.

    loving it and getting hooked is just the beginning. you'll know it as pretty soon you'll have at least 2-3 solos (that's the bare minimum).

    Is 3DR X8 a Good Buy...

    friend of mine is selling it to me for 300+ with extra batteries and propellers. he said it's brand new. I do have about 5 3dr solo drones and some other small/medium drones but thinking that this X8 might be good for my photography/video hobby. let me know and thanks for the feedback...
