Thanks. Although they certainly went out of their way to hide that, as that not only is the only reference to Hero3+ Black, but even on their support page they say as I showed you that Solo is compatible with HERO3, 3+, and 4, and even optimized for HERO3+ and 4. Not a single mention of any...

Can you show me where on their site it says that? I looked at 3DR's main site and their support site and even used their search option and found no such disclaimer. In fact, here is what it does say: And the only reference to GoPro Hero3+ I could find in support was this FAQ response...

Sorry for the long delay, I've just been very busy, but I did finally get to log about 100 minutes of flight time. Starting up was pretty simple, but it took over 5 minutes to fine enough GPS satellites for it to allow me to start the engines. I was surprised, as it was a totally clear day...

Thank you "User Name", thank you, thank you... best 2c I could have hoped for so far! This is the kind of info I was hoping to see. I am particularly happy to hear about the option for unlimited number of waypoints and following saved flight paths! That's probably what I will use the most...

1) I wasn't baiting anything - contrary to your post which suggest you just dismiss anything but your own opinion and are looking for a meaningless verbal fight - neither of which I have any interest in. 2) As for being controversial, my apologies if you are feeling sensitive regarding any...

I am also very interested in autonomous flying options for setting up specific photo shoots. The Solo has the following: Cablecam Orbit Selfie Follow While the DJI P3 has the following: Course Lock (locks the drone's direction to the current heading) Home Lock (locks the drone's direction...

Again, I appreciate the enthusiasm, as I would expect from a group of clearly dedicated users - but again, I am curious about the actual specific advantages and disadvantages (it's never a good sign when someone doesn't point out any disadvantages or issues with a product - as it suggests they...

I certainly appreciate your enthusiasm, as it makes my $1,600 investment slightly more appealing... but can you be more specific. In what ways will I be much happier with my Solo than any Phantom made? I am not being glib, I really want to know, as I have to decide whether or not to return...

OK, it took some searching, but I found at least one "consumer hobbyist drone" (TurboAce Infinity 9Pro Octocopter) that can carry a 5-10 kg payload... but at nearly $15k that's hardly your typical consumer hobbyist drone.

"A consumer hobbyist drone can carry the equivalent of a pipe bomb, with the equivalent of five to ten kilograms of TNT" 5-10 kg payload? From what I can tell, the vast majority of "consumer hobbyist drones" are lucky if they can carry even just 1 additional kilogram. Solo uses one of the more...

No, this is not a troll - just a concerned customer. UPDATE: I bought it! :) First the back story: A couple weeks ago I happen to drop by Precision Camera in Austin, TX to do a little browsing and came across their impressive drone section. I have been interested in possibly getting a drone...
