I've wanted the same feature for my P3P where it smooths out corners into curves but I bet they wont add it since at that point you are asking it to fly NOT on the predefined path but figure out a nice curve and this is where it could potentially clip something on the inside of the turn if it's...

I don't think you are missing much. I've tried the simulator on the Phantom 3 -- it was fun for about a minute but it doesn't "feel right". As mentioned above, go to an open field and take things slowly. (BTW, the funnest thing I did in the DJI simulator was taking it really high, doing a CSC...

I got a call on my iPhone 5S while flying my previous P2V+. I simply sent the call to voice mail. Was quick and nothing got interrupted.

Regardless if it's a Solo or Phantom, etc... THIS is why you don't fly around/over people.

Being as the Phantom 3 is the "walled garden" (closed hardware/software) it is more like iPhone so I'd say your metaphor is incorrect. Solo is open source software and also relies on some third party hardware so it's really more like Android. Not that it's a bad thing, every person wants...

Just out of curiosity... why are you asking how to charge the battery today when you've already said that you've flown the Solo a few hours in another thread yesterday?

I was thinking the same thing, it was giving me some weird vertigo, especially when spinning.

Yup, I was referring to the delay. And yes, if the cameras were a simple plug-and-play swap then I agree it would be AWESOME. Hopefully they can make it a simple process because I still would hate to have to tinker to make it work. I have specifically referred to the Black Magic cameras in the...

Safe to say I won't be getting a Solo either. But I think I already made that decision when I ordered my P3P back in April and have been enjoying the hell out of it ever since. I wanted to the Solo to succeed, mostly for the reason that it's an American company. And yeah, competition is good...

I was thinking the same. The Phantoms seem much more bottom heavy since the battery is inside the bird rather than on top of it. Certainly easier to replace a battery (Solo) than interior circuitry or a camera (Phantom) in the even of a crash.

I can honestly say that my P3P would be completely destroyed if it landed like that from that height. That's really impressive that the Solo survived...

Sweet clock-looking thing! FYI, I accidentally clicked "report" when I meant to click "reply" -- it was an accident I swear!

Is that all it takes to not get the landing gear in the shots?

Can't say how to get rid of props in video -- easier if it's a single frame from a photo. General rule of thumb is not to have the camera pointed straight ahead if you are going to lean the bird forward. I haven't seem too many props in the Solo footage I've seen so far which is good, and I've...
