3DRsolo is it worth it???

BubbaX123 · Oct 29, 2016

i currently own a phantom 3 advanced right now and im thinking about buying the mavik as well
but i have seen the 3DR solo on the market for over 300-400 dollars and i did consider it at 1time but i also saw lots of reviews of it drifting or noisy or if GPS drops the drone drops from the sky among other problems and bad customer service

Is it worth buying this drone for a backup purpose and more???

Most issues with bad GPS performance were resolved. Only a few had true problems, far fewer having flyaways like the Phantom does.
I've got a Phantom like yours. The Solo is better in every way.

the answers to almost all your questions have been talked about soo many times that the people with the answers are just weary of answering them,
Sorry, its not your fault, just true
searching for things like GPS and Range here will bring you hours of reading on the subjects.

i never had fly away problems with my phantom

Bubba. After nearly 18 months of ownership, hundreds of flights all over the US, I've never lost GPS.
This price point is exceptional and you'll never get anything else with the capabilities of SOLO for such a deal.

I never had any problems With my Solo ether, But just like DJI P's some are bad & those get all the attention / Headlines ....

Ive had my Solo for over 18 months, flown in 4 different states, have not had any major issues. I've had 2 crashes, both my fault. I did upgrade motors and GPS. But I love this Solo.

Definitely worth it if you have a GP4 - you can't beat smart shots and key frames.

Hansolo808 · Oct 29, 2016

Solo is more relevant than other drones just for this purpose

This is how we should have been making videos - when solo first came out.
3DR Solo - The Phoenix - Re-imagined

Well i hope it can somewhat compare to the DJI phantom 3 adv in some way..........

Im out 415 dollars for the drone + gopro hero 3+
(wait till you see the gopro i think someone messed up in pricing lol)

I highly doubt it will be anywhere near close to 100000x better then phantom 3 adv but i hope its a good backup drone then

Hansolo808 · Nov 4, 2016

The hero 3+ silver is not compatible with the solo you need a 3+ black minimum - best works with the hero 4

it said it would work on the site........

And i see now it doesnt
so im either going to trash the junk or sell it because its a waste of money now........

Because im sure the gopro hero 4+ silver wont work either will it?

Searching for "Silver", you will find this, and more:
Hero 3+ silver

BubbaX123 · Nov 4, 2016

whatever im paying $600 for a drone i have no idea if its as good ordecent or just piss poor compared to my other 1 i want to try and keep them all around the same quality as each other and im starting to think the only + side i have now i just SPENT MORE MONEY on a gopro hero 4 silver and just thinking that at least i hopfully will never need to buy a camera for a drone again

unless this 1 doesnt work either

GP4s are already NOS new-old-stock and old technology. To think that you will never need to buy a camera for a drone again - let alone another drone, means you will either give up flying altogether, or must be very old and ready to croak soon - and your profile says otherwise on that count.
