    Very Discouraged.

    what's cool - if I understand correctly - you have another option as a backup to your SOLO or the other way - no matter. but if you can take the other copter - bet you get massive amounts of cool footage! have a wonderful trip regardless.

    Warning to potential new solo pilots! (Pre-Purchase)

    23 years ago i started with a Pentax ME Super 35mm, today shoot with Canon 1Dx's and make a living with them. I chose to start with what i thought was the best at what it does and will do in its class, i already have an idea of what i want to mount my 1Dx's on (Alta) but until i get to that...

    they are amazing on phone. pick your bloke, stick with him and he becomes your mechanic. they want the info on what goes WRONG as much as what goes right, they really want the SOLO to be best in class.

    Can someone do me a favor??

    Oooh that's a bit cheeky! NARF. I "thought" I saw a video with Colin talking about being at one angle at the start of a shot and ending on another with the camera tracking naturally as SOLO flew? Is I wrong?

    Good News.. Good News.. & Good News!

    if all the features in Tower were already in he SOLO app - and they had not had the software gimbal issues as well as NOT providing the features like changing camera mode, FPS etc... ( which is why I bought in on the project) I don't think anyone could complain. For $1400 if you already have a...

    Can someone do me a favor??

    Yes. It is supposed to work. But when I first tried follow and attempted to set the angle for the camera the camera reset itself to 0° and I had to back out of the smart shot to get control of the gimbal.
