Got the Best Buy deal! Did I see there is an A and B model? Dif?

[Mark35mi]

Brand new to the Solo.... flying a quad... and this forum.
Took advantage of the best buy deal (yes... I got 4 packages).
I believe I saw someone post there is an A and B model.
If its a big deal I want to know what I got... and return for the other if so.

As I am doing more real estate photography.... what is the best camera? leaning towards the 4 black.

Thanks guys....

Mark.... in sunny hot Florida.

Photography or video?

For video the Hero3 black and up get the job done well because while 4k looks great most devices can't play it back and it hogs bandwidth.

I'd say Hero4 is a good balance although I just got a used hero4 black from ebay for $199.

Starting out leave everything how it comes out of the box. Slow is good for video and you don't really need to use the special modes for real estate(more for moving action shots). This thing basically flies itself.

The only difference between the A and B models is the GPS chips 3DR installed in them. Regardless of GPS chip, at some point I would highly recommend doing the easy swap of the modules and installing THIS. Cuts down GPS acquisition time and allows more GPS sats to be connected.

Welcome Mark35mi,
Go with the GPH4black, you won't regret it.
I have NOT had any GPS problems with any of my SOLO's, 500+ flights

Seems like every time I look at that gps upgrade it's out of stock. Anyone know if it's still being made?
