Solo Availability

BonsaiGuy · Dec 28, 2016

Hey guys,

Does anyone have any guesstimations as to how many Solo's are left to be purchased? Best Buy raised the price again, but I would like to buy another Solo. Should I buy one at the $500 price tag to be safe? In case they don't drop the price again?

I'm guessing there won't be "more on the way", lol.

Nope! (IMHO) Was just in-store today to pickup some blades & they had the copter only (no bundle) for $299 (much lower than web price), but wasn't a bundle. 2 new on display, who knows how many in the back.

And a very long line at the returns... usually takes a week or so for folks to get returns back. But obviously just my opinion.

Right right, but I've heard bad things in terms of the Mavic, mostly the manufacturing problems and the delay. You think the Mavic will really be released in February?

Dont know ! But for sure they lost a lot of sales already.

At least now I've got a backup Solo if my first one drops out. Gotta love Prime shipping!

Good call Simo!

Probably the Best Buy deal that was going on.

After seeing the Mavic, I've ordered another two Solos with two gimbals, backpacks and controllers and four batteries at the same price instead. The 700g Mavic and small frame just can't handle the wind here in Cape Town!
