    The DJI Phantom 3 pro is going back

    I bought a P3P recently and have not had a single issue with it. Solid. I picked a local dealer that had the ability to repair every aspect of them without having to send them to the DJI "black hole" which was my biggest concern. I can pay for a fix or repair but I did not want to send it...

    looks like the flood waters are rising on Solo City....

    Someone made a comment about politics. I had to LMAO. This and other threads are sounding more and more like ideology above all else....3DR vs DJI. I have never heard so much locality for anything that after six months, still can't deliver what was advertised....accept in politics. It sounds...

    Drone Pilots need to be concerned!

    'The horse is out of the barn'. If any of you experienced or watched closely how the FAA got their nose into the RC aircraft activities, you know what is going to happen to drones. At one point they were going to require all RC aircraft have registration numbers! I got pretty heavily involved...

    Solo Might Be Dead

    I appreciate your expertise. I certainly don't have nor do I have a favorite horse in this race. But I have a couple questions that I ask without a critical spin to them. If your comparison is between Apple and I truly respect your expertise which I don't have but I have a couple comments...

    Solo Might Be Dead

    Throw-away may not be the most descriptive. My only point is that 3DR, with the Solo, is appealing to single camera and open architecture in a market that IMO, is being driven by the FPV and the ability to experience RC with a very stable, "dumb-thumb" proof experience and expanded that...

    Solo Might Be Dead

    It is fun to watch how fast and interestingly this market is evolving. It is a little like the early days of the consumer market for computers. Remember when Apple catered to just the creative artist group? Everyone else had to get a PC. Photography is not pushing this market, FPV is. And...

    PSA (Public Solo Announcement) Part 2

    It is ok to have your favorite mfg. Isn't that the basis for most of our purchases? But to try and spin it like he has is over the top. Even Colin has acknowledged the screw-up and angst from the owners and has stated that the MBG period doesn't start until the gimbal is delivered. Troy...

    PSA (Public Solo Announcement) Part 2

    You must be in the tank for 3DR based on that response. Come on! The Solo roll-out was a disaster. I think you can count on one finger the number of people that order a Solo with no intent of getting a gimbal. Would you have? So to fall back on it as being an "option" for a $999 quad...

    PSA (Public Solo Announcement) Part 2

    True but off point. Apple kept their promised release dates. And they didn't release half of a product.

    PSA (Public Solo Announcement) Part 2

    Thanks. Not a cooking forum but informative. I am getting out of jets because at nearly 70, I like the idea of a more relaxed RC experience. But I have seen all your videos, not because I enjoy the delivery of a 'snout-nosed-kid" :), but because you clearly have a lot of experience in quads I...

    Heat or no heat, I think that you might not be the only one.

    PSA (Public Solo Announcement) Part 2

    I think there is ample reason for the negative comments (venting) directed at 3D and the "other" guys. Can you imagine Apple rolling out a new phone that couldn't take pics, play music or launch apps three months after the roll-out? (Yes, I know that is not a fair comparison). This is my first...

    Gimbals delayed til end of August

    Four days ago I spoke to Customer Service and they were saying 1st or 2nd week in August. Then I had an email from tech that said middle of August. All that said, what is most disturbing is they just aren't being "transparent" as they bragged about back in June. I think they really owe...
