    What next?

    I've had 2 Solos from the get go, and have been very happy. But, they're getting long in the tooth- losing lock, other minor stuff. I think the 4 year old Hero 4 is probably not delivering the quality of the newer cameras, like the Hassleblad. I'm looking to go to one of the DJI platforms...
