Jublar: Your Conspiracy Theorist comment was great. Making this simple as I did is of course counter intuitive to a engineer or scientist but it is a well grounded principle. I am sure you have heard of Occam's Razor, the simple answer it most likely the answer. Their is another principle used in Law Enforcement... "Follow the Money" as most things in business are done for profit /gain.
Here is what I believe the public perception is.
3DR has a SOLO, the gimbal and all the cameras it says it works with sitting on a table, They put each of the cameras in the system them and test it, to confirm the specs. You know a typical quality control measure.
But that is not want happened before it went into production, and or distribution, as it does not work! The PUBLIC wants simple working products from companies who have been promised them.
Here is the damming point for 3DR even thou they knew / know it does not work, they are not telling their clients. They shipped the to the public and took the money when they had to know it did not work! NOT REAL SMART of 3DR to do this. Very bad public relations....
I am in San Diego, I have offered to take my drone to the 3DR Facilty here to make it work... that has not been responded to. They have also not called me from customer service, with a work around or any partial plan. I have a app that insists I have to update my camera to do anything when in fact my camera is not compatible.
