I think the first couple of responses nailed it. Where can you go to get better? Solo isn't perfect, but neither are DJI or Yuneeq. What major upgrade has either of them offered to their line that didn't involve a new drone? I think the DJI warranty is something like "we guarantee you will be...

Not trying to be a dick, but source please. I went 3DR over DJI for my own reasons, but I haven't seen any such thing from 3DR/DJI/Yuneec. I am not at all saying it didn't happen, but I hadn't seen or heard that before.

Sony series is not Mac Compatible. What are you wanting to do that iMovie cannot do? Ask yourself this first. Is iMovie the limit? Have other iMovie users ran into this problem? Did they work around it? Editing basic cuts isn't difficult. Multiple tracks, syncing sound, and key frames...

Or they could be partnering with someone like Yuneek or 3DR to release a rebranded drone. Or they have some radical ide and just need to hammer out the other details. Or there drone is perfect, but there were manufacturing issues. Perhaps they need a new computer chip qualified. That would...

FCP X here. But don't get caught up in needing better hardware or software. If there is somethings by specific you need that iMovie won't do, yes upgrade. But Adobe will not magically make movies better. FCP X will offer more tracks and will be easy to learn. It is plenty powerful for...

GoPro has been used on $60 million+ Hollywood productions. If your budget exceeds this, you could always rent a helicopter. I get that it isn't the best camera ever, but it can be good enough for a lot more than you seem to give it credit for (Hollywood studios provide meaningful color...

I do like the updates we are getting. I wanted a platform for a camera, and the Solo keeps getting better at that. DJI with the flyaways seems to have upgraded from planned obselesence to random evanescence. Sure I wish I had gotten the lower price. I wish I'd gotten my 2015 salary back when...

Back in the day, it was true. In fact, I was talking with such a pro just yesterday who was lamenting how digital still isn't as good film. Again, right tool for the right job. At this time, it is true of smaller sensors. Simulated shallow DOF is garbage, but they are working on it. One...

[OFF_TOPIC] I would say that "more and more pro photographers are switching" is a bit misleading. I can point you at a TON of stuff where pros are saying "that amateur garbage isn't replacing MY camera anytime soon." There are certain physical realities we cannot overcome or work around yet...

I was at a 3DR demo a few weeks ago. They talked a bit about the big update we just got while it was 'coming soon' and cited this as an example of how the solo would update. They said the modular design would allow incremental updates to the Solo. Specifically, they talked about working with...

Yes, but it does not specify WHEN (Or a tracking number, or anything useful like that). Those are the sorts of useful things I would like on my emailed receipt, especially when my Chinese speed light setup ordered later that same day is already here (and with free shipping no less!)

Ordered minutes after getting the email, but still no joy in Austin, TX. Which is odd as 3DR lives here. Maybe I should swing by their office and have a real chat with customer service :) Really do need a multi charger at this point. Better yet, one device to charge the TX and 3 batteries...

I guess he read this thread on batteries :) Ordering now.

As manufacturing gets more efficient, costs go down. Agh the computer chip level, going from 20nm to 14nm process means more die on every wafer. At the circuit board level, better soldering means fewer reworks. And so on at each stage. Better testing throughout lowers expenses invested in...

I would be interested in it if it offered useful functionality not present in the existing App. For me, the Solo is primarily a camera platform, so anything that would further that cause would be great.
