Any updates on shipments/availability?

David Weston · Jun 12, 2015

Just got off phone with B&H. Rep said he could see ETA for product arrival. Placed my order 5/27. Said based upon units being delivered and my order sequence, late June/early July. Take it for what it's worth,,if anything.

Yea my ship this week from 3DR is looking less likely I think. We are about out of week !

Looks like pre-orders are second to Best Buy launch next week. 3DR needs to fulfill pre-orders first then big box stores.

Have been feeling like I just broke up with my girlfriend, then just watched the ATxRC vids, feeling better now. I can handle it.

This reminds me of the FCC rules on Amateur radio operator antenna regulations, over about the last 50 years, in the beginning cities and counties and in a few cases the states tried to regulate the antenna heights sizes etc.. and after a few law suit's the FCC stepped in and said that they were the regulator and told the others to but out!

Your chances of buying tomorrow at BB are slIm to none. You can buy props and batteries though.

Charging battery and updating solo as we speak

If anyone is in the lead forcing flying restrictions on individuals it's DJI. And that was one of the reasons I looked at the Solo. As a matter of fact I don't think I'll upgrade the firmware on my P2V+ past 3.08 (where it's at) because of new restrictions hard coded in.

My law practice is extending a niche focus in the regulatory area of UAS. I have helped several people file for 333 exemptions. If anyone is in California, I would be glad to help answer any questions.

Same thing, 3DR Vu Tran, told me last week that they had sent units to Best Buy... But I am very suspect of 3DR at this point. They have said a lot of things that are simply not true and have lied about things.

Based on my experience with BestBuy, I'd be more suspicious of them than 3DR. I had a heck of a time buying extra batteries there yesterday. Took 3 employees - all of whom categorical said they didn't have any in stock - before I was able to get them. It wasn't until I asked the guy if he could check if any nearby stores had the batteries that he discovered they actually had them in the store room.

So now the 3dr solo is available at all Best Buy stores. Except the ones in my city. C'mon Man! Reminds me of that sign "There only two kinds of Beer, The kind you like, and free"

My Solo Shipped from China on 6/25/2015 @ 11:22PM (UPS's local time?). My 1st notice of this was from an e-mail i got from 3DR today, 6/26/15 sent @ 7:31 PM

I checked my pre-order status at 3DR and it’s still “Backordered”. In fact, my pre-order credit card still hasn’t been hit, yet.

My Solo expected arrival date is 6/29/15, per UPS, so i’ll stay in touch.
