Post of the year material here.
Is it really worth all the arguing I knew this trolling bs post full of made up or just blatant lies was going to start an rcg type war. I'm not sure why everybody feels the need to prove which is better just go fly, p3 has issues well known, solo has issues well known, pick your poison and stick with it. Or buy both and have the best and worst of each just go fly and have fun fellas.
Unfortunatley the first amendment applies to all I guess but come on "can't we all just get along."

Uhhh.. 3 to 5k?
Considering there are over 1,200 members of this site alone, I think your numbers might be a "tad" off. Somehow I doubt that somewhere between 20 to 40+ percent of all Solo owners are members of this site.

rrmccabe,
We have had good discussions, and I have enjoyed your input. I am sorry your bitterness has clouded your judgement, as I think you are just wrong on the facts.
Show me where the gimbal is 3 months late. And forum posts from someone with "inside" knowledge don't count...
The facts matter. All of us make choices and reasonable people can disagree. They can also value different things, and make different choices, and from that buy different things, but the facts do matter.
I have watched every release since before April. As I said before, you can't blame 3DR for blog rumors and assumptions made by people.
I see some people getting their shorts all in a knot because the gimbal is delayed. My experience (having been on the bleeding edge on literally hundreds of things) is that is par for the course and 3DR is hanong a new product with a large demand quite well. You aren't happy. I am happy they decided to do it right rather than release something with a known defect (like the Phantom shell)
This reminds me of people screaming when a new Windows comes out (or is delayed because they found problems). People get in such a fit with thier expectations of something new so blown up, it is beyond reasonable. And people that planned payed jobs based on something they don't have in their hands are just foolish. I would say just like photography in general, if you are looking for the cheapest things that meet a spec, you are in the wrong business.
You don't care about smart shots. You don't care about service. You don't care about warranty. You don't care about down time. You don't care that many repairs have an 8 week turnaround. You don't care about crashes, or that they are all your fault no matter what. Or open source, or manufacturer created applications, etc. etc.
You only care that the P3 has a gimbal today, and that (assuming you don't have GoPro's or see value in that platform) the P3 is cheaper... Fantastic!! You picked the right product and the right company!! Except, since you al;soi don't care about 4K (much less 8K) you probably have savbed even more money and got the Standard...
I will tell you exactly what I told they guy that started the thread. I wish you all the luck in the world with your choice, your Phantom, and with DJI. By all means, buy two or three.
Seriously... I get it. You made a different choice. What I don't quite get is why you stay here and keep saying it over and over, especially to people like me that have thoughtfully made another choice (though I still own both). While saying (for the last month or so) you "won't be here long". I would ask, just who do you think you are saving? Me? I have dealt with both companies and products for quite a while, and many, many others before this.I can assure you, I don't need saving....
Really.... With all due respect we have had this conversation now several times. If you want to try and save somebody else from their terrible fate of buying a..... Solo... (Gasp)
OK..... misguided... but..... OK.....
I can assure you though I am a big boy, and can make my own choices. In fact, to date I have been quite successful at it.
PS: Keep an eye out for cracks in your back legs. I am STILL waiting to get a P3 back that has been in China for 5 weeks. Only 3 more weeks!!. To bad my warranty won't be extended by 8 weeks. So far I haven't decided to sell it on Ebay. If I do, I will make sure to get hold of you on PhantomPilots....

Exactly.. It is funny to watch people that say they have returned their Solos, spend SO... much time here.... It's as if they were having second thoughts and are trying to justify their decisions....ROFL

@Earldgrayjr, Yes I agree. I enjoy our debates and your knowledge as well.
I will keep this short as I think its been hashed over enough. I know for a fact what 3DR told me the delivery would be when they took my money. They missed it. I know that each new delivery was also on target right up to the last minute and then all of a sudden in the final hour there was a new delivery date and some excuse. Even though you think there is no value in what 3DR was telling their investors (which matches what they told me). Well OK.
As far as staying around. I have no agenda here and my post count has dropped off considerably. Why? Because I have less and less to contribute as 3DR is evolving and I am not part of that change. So not going to chime in on something I know nothing about. Like the new tower app or when the gimbal comes out. Not to mention I am getting old and my memory is short.
We obviously agree on a lot of things and disagree on others. That's great and I respect that.
As far as watching the P3 shell, yes sir I will keep an eye on that. I can tell you one thing. I will not ship it back. A new shell is $59.00 and I will order one and swap it out myself. My flying season in Iowa is short and in my eyes we are flying 2 year technology (solo included) so there is no way I will ship it to China for 5+ weeks.
Cheers
