Gimbal included?

Hey @sputnik378, let me know if you are interested. Let's make a deal.

You can't do much with Solo without the gimbal. Though Solo's themselves do seem to be rebounding in price some too. I imagine before long we'll see more used gimbals and drones on the market locally.

Everything that came in the original solo box (obviously no gimbal). Controller, props, carrying case, single battery, etc.

You won't notice the sun change with solo. It's too bright even only partially revealed.

They sent me two Solos and a spare battery -- no gimbal. LOL I called and got put on hold forever, then told someone would call back. That never happened. But I did end up buying an MRO-upgraded Solo with gimbal locally for $200, so all is well. ON THE LOGS: Can anyone tell me what the one...

I'm in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

I send you a never opened Solo. You send me two gimbals. Any takers? Eric

Even after all my wrangling today, I'm still not positive what B&H is sending. I now have 5 order confirmations over 7 hours for different combinations of Solos, gimbal, spare battery and backpack.

just_bruce: They just canceled your order? Bummer! You could call and hassle them. It took like 45 minutes of hold time over three calls. It seemed like this was the arrangement they'd settled on offering people. That $274 deal was up for a long time this morning so I'm sure we're not the only ones.

FWIW - B&H gave me the Gimbal & Backpack combo for $350 because of the mistake. I tried to get them to just send me a Solo with their LAST gimbal, which is used for the $275. But they said the lowest they could go was ~$350 for that too. So I just took the backpack even though I already have one.

I'll give them a call. Thanks. Here's the flight log that 3DR converted from BIN and sent back to me. Initially, they'd given me the wrong date but it does now appear this is the proper flight log. I have no idea how to read it, however. Any help would be graciously accepted.

USMC86: I just jumped on that! That's a killer price. THANKS!!!!! So at least now I'll have useful video again. I was starting to think I'd gotten in just in time to get a cheap Solo, but too late to build up the necessary spares. Carpy: Awesome. I'll download Wookie when I get home tonight.

Acroduster: Not sure what your comment is referencing. But if you're asking if my B button is preset to "Fly Manual," i learned about that after this crash. USMC: That was my thought!!!! And now I'm wishing I would have just assumed they wouldn't cover it and bought a new gimbal while they...

Can someone help me sort out what went wrong? Which Bin files should I upload from my flight logs? (I see 1 thru 9, but the crash didn't happen on the most recent flight.) For background, I have my Part 107 but I'm a relatively new pilot. I've had Solo's slow baby settings on for the last 15...
