U said if first...congrats!

I would love to see a Solo swarm mode added to our birds. Is that possible?

That is a good shipping price 12.99 Euro for something the size of Solo. Put if it was shipping from Italy... Watch Out!!!! Cousin shipped a package on Dec. 15th, 2017 and it just got to California Feb. 8th, 2018!!! Ordered from the UK a $2,500 LCD control panel (for my full scale airplane)...

You nailed it..."Rectilinear" is just a reference to an image with a straight horizon. It is not necessarily distortion free. If you're shooting for an architectural firm they want square lines and it's more convenient to do it in camera with the right longer focal length lens. That said when...

Yes, but this is also true of standard lenses when comparing "angle of view" the 3.37 is equivalent to a 19mm (35mm full frame) lens. The 5.4mm was a decent tradeoff not to get the standard wide angle distortion. BTW...this is why software correction of a fisheye lens image to straighten out...

I think you got a bad 5.4 from Peau. Whatever your issues I had none. 5.4mm was my first venture into these modes first from Rage Cam and then to Peau. They stand by their product and would bet they'll either trade to another lens if you ask. Did you do the mod yourself or have them do it? Not...

Most of us remember the true value of the Solo since we paid FULL PRICE from the very beginning of its debut. The dumping of Solo at an extremely low price by B&H, Best Buy, eBay & Amazon sellers have made the current new crop of owners perhaps think of Solo as a cheap bird. Remarkable...

All I have to add to the above excellent post is please do your best to find a Solo Gimbal. Whatever your time is worth to you, you'll spend it reinventing the wheel to replace all the R&D that went into the 3DR Solo Gimbal and still not come upto it's capabilities. This is way some many guys...

OK...totally get it now. A grain of salt towards whatever is displayed but not yet available for the public to test in real life is smart. Our 3DR Solo was shown last year at NAB with the belly sensor to aid flying indoors. Exactly what you said happened...this was NOT the way we would get it...

Howdy Erik, Very interEstes in your higher altitude flying in the mountains about 10,000 ft. Have you tried it with Solo?

Actually, want love too hear more why the Obstacle Avoidance demo was a cheat. What was phoney about it? Seriously, not being a TROLL...I really like to know. :-)

(Turns out the links did post!) Yes, these are seruous cut protection items. Yes, it will still bitch when struck by a fast big prop...but at least you won't bleed or lose a body part! We have both the gloves and arm protection. Our Spotter/Safety Officer will wearing them. I don't...

OK...they won't link us post links!....do a search for yourselves.
