The Solo II will be GREAT!!! I just couldn't wait any longer and 4 weeks ago I took my Solo back to Best Buy and got the P3P. It's proven… it's smooth… and it's AVAILABLE!!! I'm thrilled… working in professional video, I've made $4K off my aerial photography already. I couldn't wait...

rrmccabe… I just got delivery of the P3P. I'm setting it up and can't get past the "Login your DJI Account" I keep trying… (on a MacBook Pro) and on the IPad mini on the controller and keep getting "Login failed, please check your network" How do I get past that? I'm anxious to try...

I'm taking one back tomorrow to a store in Louisville. It seems to work really well (I got one of the good ones) I HAVE to have a gimbal for shooting next week so I just got delivery (like an hour ago) of a P3P. Anybody near Louisville want a Solo?

OK... crazy thought of the day! I've got a "handheld gimbal" for the GoPro that is awesome... what if I rig it to the GoPro holder on the bottom of the Solo!?!? LOL crazy... and couldn't land without "catching it" but I'm almost tempted to try it to see a gimbal effect with the Solo...

I'm SOOOO torn right now... I just tested the Solo against a friend's Phantom 2 and there is absolutely NO comparison. The Solo is super smooth and feels dependable. I ordered the DJI-P3P that is being delivered tomorrow afternoon and I have until Sunday to return the Solo to Best Buy. I...

WOW rmmccabe… You've been a HUGE asset on here. Thanks! I just ordered a P3 for Delivery Friday. I have shooting I'm missing out on and just can't wait. The non-Gimbal is a miss that just can't be overcome. I'm probably returning Solo as well… Curious to see Solo II early next year...

Thanks!!

anybody know if there are any Phantom 3's in stock anywhere? I'm antsy for a gimbal and looking to get one. I can't wait until August for a Gimbal for Solo… losing too much work. I might go from no drone to two in a couple weeks! I might need a two drone garage! Any Phantom 3 Pro available?

I'm using a brand new iPad Mini 3 and the ONLY app on it is SOLO. Not many crashes with the app when general flying… CableCam seems to work fine… Orbit crashes still after about 20 seconds. Oh well….

I took my Solo up tonight for the 4th time. I had an issue with Orbit and wondered if anybody else has had issues? I would set the "Orbit", get the check mark, and then pan the toggle to the right… I went about 90 degrees to the right just fine… and then toggled to the left… everything...

Check the Best Buy web site and go to where you can look at inventory. Put in your zip code and it will tell you stores that have them. Only two of the 6 in my area have the display for Solo. Also, they don't inventory them by the other drones, call the store with the SKU# and they should be...

I ordered my Solo from B&H at noon on the first day of NAB in mid April. (I had to be one of the first orders) I found one at the Best Buy in southern Indiana (right by Louisville) 10 days ago and got it. I cancelled some of the order from B&H but kept the gimbal, a battery and the hard case...

What fun!!! Unboxed "Black Beauty" and it took about 15 minutes to load app, get everything updated and get her ready to fly. I was shaking a bit… (wondering what stories I might have to pass along…) anxiously, I pressed "fly" and like the purr of a fine tuned sports car… she hummed...

Where do you go to do the Level Calibration? I'm getting that too...

After having the P3 page opened and ready to order... I thought better of it... Found a SOLO at Best Buy and just opened the box this morning... *fingers crossed* Going to try a flight this afternoon... I'm SO cautiously optimistic... Here's to hoping!!! *lifting a glass of Mountain...
