Not sure if this helps anyone, but I purchased the Solo backpack bundle on Sunday (1-21-17) and at that time it did not include the extra gimbal. Fast forward to a few days later, now the backpack bundle comes with an extra gimbal for free. I really didn't feel like packing up the Solo, returning it and reordering it, so I just called customer service and told them that they added a free item to a bundle I purchased a day after I purchased it and asked if they could send me a free gimbal. He quickly offered me a 10% credit instead, which covers about 85% the extra gimbal. I just turned around will use that $30 towards purchasing an extra gimbal that will net out to costing me $9.99 before taxes. For me, the 10 bucks is worth the time and effort of bringing it all to the store and I got $30 just for asking. Just good to know that their CS was willing to make it right without any hassle.

Ok should i do that it in that order? My rev A is taking longer than my rev B when i do it in the order you have listed.
nice work, i called CS and they told me i could just go in without the items since they could see what was on the order at the store. i was in the same boat i was not looking forward to getting another order together to return for a better deal either.
Both are ver A over here. I've only had limited experience with Solo at this point, but for those who understand, it's dat OCD.

Rev A, Rev B, meh...both suck in congested area's. I have one with a RevB, and one with the mRO upgrade.
I can get the go ahead to fly with the mRO in about a minute in a heavily surrounded area, ie dense tree's, hillsides and houses and take to the air with an HDOP of .9.
If I get above the houses, but still under the level of the hills and tree's, my sats increase and hdop drops.
While I am burning electrons in flight with the mRO equipped unit, my Rev B, is still sitting there with 5 sats and an HDOP of 2.4 if I remember correctly, and no fly.
So with that, I say this. If you only fly in wide open spaces, Rev A or B is fine.
If you sometimes need to fly in less than ideal locations that does not have a full open view of the sky, then the mRO unit is a must.

I did the same and got a $64 credit because the Gimble was listed at this price on the website at the time I called them. Originally paid $275 for the backpack bundle last week (availed $25 visa checkout promotion) and got a $64 credit now. I am loving my $211 3DR
