I'm not trolling the site. I'm giving info about my experience. It's a conversation. It started by signing up to the IRIS+/SOLO Forum when I first joined up with 3D Robotics. Sometimes the truth is a bitter pill to swallow. I know it was for me during the last 2 years I've tried to hold on and continue to believe in 3DR.
I absolutely had no idea what the DJI stuff was about. I had heard some things not so great but I had not seen or flown one. I didn't even like the looks of it. And when the Solo came out about the same time as the Phantom 2 there was no comparison. It not only looked futuristic and cool, Solo kicked the Phantoms butt hands down. And I was the first to argue with all my associates about DJI vs 3DR. Believe me if you could have heard the conversations. But that was then. Then as in a year and a half ago. When 3DR had a superior product and customer service. And now,,,, 3DR has some problems. I'm not sure they will recover and survive. I hope they come up with something impressive. It's like how we had to wait for the Gimbal. Long overdue. While the competition is developing 3 new models.
If you have never flown the new white cube then you are not a true drone aficionado and you most certainly want to try it. The form factor and flying model is completely different than Solo. For one thing, you can depend on. Honestly it is very dependable. Even while flying from full GPS lock to in under trees and into a large metal building. Not a glitch or shake or hiccup. And without the clunky GoPro. At 28 minutes of solid flight it is quite impressive.
Happy Flying! Be Safe!
Early this month you stated you owned 3 x Iris+, is this thread you stated you owned 4 x Iris+. Which is it? I am not pretending to be Sherlock Holmes or anything but there is pattern in all your posts. With so much drone ownership do you do this professionally? Do you have a website? If there was some evidence of all your experience that would be helpful. Just trying to help.
