What? The Mavic and P4 are the "only" drones that compare to the Solo? Autel, Yuneec, Go Pro, etc make decent drones as well in my opinion. I'm hoping, for once, they we all can have a civilized conversation about this. To be honest, it's my opinion that other than price the Mavic and P4 are superior to the Solo in several quantifiable ways. Range, flight time, stock GPS, portability, camera (especially if you all are going to keep bringing up the H3), etc. By all accounts Autel kills everyone in customer service and parts are readily accessible and inexpensive. The Yuneec has advanced obstacle avoidance, built in screen, comes with a hard case, etc. I'm not sure how I feel about the Go Pro yet but it comes with a hand held gimbal, uses the Hero 5 or 4, allows for a camera man, comes with a back pack, slightly more portable, most versatile by a long margin, etc.
It's funny, I don't ever use smart shots. I'm not in it for the video but more for the fun of flying. Don't get me wrong, smart shots are cool as hell! I'm just not trying to map a farm, or make a travelogue, or whatever. This reminds me of when I was playing with RC cars and trucks (I still have several gathering dust) and I'd stop at the hobby shop. There'd always be at least one guy wearing a fanny pack, talking about tire choice like he was on his way to the Daytona 500! Hahaha!
