You must be proud to be one of those that helped this platform fail. Your response just corroborates mine and others opinion of this forum. You should rename it RC Groups on Steroids. Enjoy what you have created.

A few of the really smart folks are still butt hurt on this forum because Solo "the slayer of everything DJI" didn't quite get the job done. They are so smart, in fact, that they forgot that hobbyists are what supports this platform and other platforms like solo. Guess what, all of you really...

Your last paragraph, sir, is ridiculous. Maybe so many phantoms are involved in what you call flyaways or entering no fly zones(I would like to see your, so many, examples of this) is because there are well over a half million phantoms out there, which is more than all other makes combined...

I'm not sure where you are getting your info on the phantoms not taking off from boats but it is not accurate. I have done it many times with my P3 with no issues at all.

That is my point, when 3dr launched the solo it did not perform as intended, a camera/video platform needs a gimbal, with out one it is just another toy. And with the dismal GPS it didn't perform very well as a toy. Customers had to wait month's to start getting a return on their...

As one of the "delusional morons" that tried the solo and got rid of it soon after, I have no regrets. I am not sitting on a $1200.00 turd that's not even worth $500.00 new now. 3Dr's mistake was aiming the solo at a the hobby market and pricing it too high, especially for what was delivered at...

Hang in there Mikey, there are a lot of people here that will try to help you out. Not everyone here will just criticize your punctuation, there are a few elitist stuffed shirts here but most are a wealth of knowledge and will try to help you figure things out. Just give them as much info as you...

Burkeam, just out of curiosity, why the long swap time? When I had my solo I only had one battery so I don't know what takes so long to get back in the air when switching batteries.

My, aren't we a ray of sunshine. It doesn't sound like anybody is complaining, more like decent people trying to help each other. So I guess we can count you out?

Easy there, the solo isn't holding its value much better. Seems to me the retailer's can't give them away, they've tried and they are still overstocked. And how long has the p2 been out compared to solo?

Yep. It's starting to sound more and more like a phantom forum. The big difference, so far, is how 3dr is handling it. We will see how much longer they can keep taking these hits before they throw in the towel.

It is not a matter of if but of when something bad will happen with a drone. Just read this forum, or any forum, people do stupid things daily. They fly over vehicle traffic, crowds of people, in their neighborhoods, drunk, etc. There have already been near misses where someone could have been...

I hear what you are saying, but living in a society where everyone wants to sue the manufacturers because they do something stupid, maybe dji is covering their butts. Could you imagine what would happen if some dumb ass flying a phantom or solo or any drone took out an airplane because he...

Ah yes, I remember the slogan, so easy a monkey can fly it, hardly. 3dr is the one who aimed the solo at the hobbyists as a RTF, worlds first smart drone. It fell very short of RTF and is hardly the first smart drone. There are other manufacturers who left Wi Fi connectivity in the 90's where it...

Totally agree, it is also more fun to fly without gps. With that said, I also believe quads capable of flying missions and waypoints need to have the most dependable gps capabilities. I believe 3dr missed the boat here by not having glonass capabilities. I know some will disagree with me but I...
