    Solo + 360 Kodak 4 k two cameras with gimbals?

    You mean like this? Amazon.com : Kodak PIXPRO Aerial Pack VR Camera and 3DR SOLO Mount : Camera & Photo There are no gimbals for this, but being 360 cameras I would think any shakiness of a non-gimbal regular camera would be nearly eliminated by the nature of the kind of image these would...

    Very poor range

    Sounds delicious!

    Best Buy sale of 3DR Solo is back on - $299.99 - two different bundle options

    Their return policy is pretty clear on the website... "Bundle or Promotional Discount Items If you return an item bought as part of a bundle or with a promotional discount and you do not return everything — not to worry. We will reimburse you for what you do return, minus the value of the...

    Best Buy sale of 3DR Solo is back on - $299.99 - two different bundle options

    As I understood it and have been reading, all of the backpack bundles have been showing up Rev B. The other bundle with just the gimbal (formerly had a battery and props with it) are hit and miss as to whether they are A or B.

    Best Buy sale of 3DR Solo is back on - $299.99 - two different bundle options

    It's a nice, solid case. Feels like it will hold up pretty well. I bought one because of photos I saw others post showing it holding all their Solo gear as well as a DSLR and a couple lenses. I'm a "regular" photographer just getting into drone photography, so being able to carry both at once...

    Best Buy sale of 3DR Solo is back on - $299.99 - two different bundle options

    I don't see them lowering prices on the lights or prop guards until a while after all the Solos are sold. After all, with all the recent sales of the Solo, there's a strong market for those accessories I would say. That and they aren't made by 3DR, so they aren't part of the clearing of...

    Best Buy sale of 3DR Solo is back on - $299.99 - two different bundle options

    I was referring to the number available for local pickup, which is reflected online, and not what's available for shipping (which was actually made quite clear when I said "for my local store"). The same thing you were talking about, as best I could tell. It's not that big of a deal, dude...

    Best Buy sale of 3DR Solo is back on - $299.99 - two different bundle options

    I'd consider that anecdotal evidence, even if you "learned this directly from a store manager", as over the past week I've noticed several times both the gimbal and the Lowepro bag for the 3DR have said "In Stock, Fewer than 3 Available" for my local store, meaning that they do not set it to...

    Lowpro DroneGuard 400 Sale at Best Buy

    I ordered the Lowepro DroneGuard 400 case last week from Best Buy for the sale price of $112.99. I've been checking Best Buy's website every day seeing if more batteries come back in stock, and today noticed that the case went on further sale for $79.99. Called in and had them adjust the price...

    Best Buy sale of 3DR Solo is back on - $299.99 - two different bundle options

    They aren't out of stock, they just raised the price. It's $499.99 today, though, for the non-backpack version.

    Warranty using square trade

    So you could get your money back, I guess, but what good would $300 do if you're without a drone? It's not going to buy a new one at near that quality. Plus, I'm pretty sure that warranty isn't going to cover the GoPro attached to it.

    Best Buy package deal

    I had the same issue ordering the Solo + Gimbal + Battery package on Monday of the gimbal not being added to my cart. Called their 800 number and had no issue getting it ordered over the phone with the gimbal added to it at $0.00. Should be here today. My extra battery has not been so fortunate...
