New, so be gentle. Price for Solo sans gimbal is under $200. Am only a few months into learning drone video and photo. Am currently using a GP Hero 5 Black on a Walkera 2d gimbal on another drone with limited flight assist capability. I am a new and predictably crappy pilot. I also use the GP smart remote to control the camera (provided I don't crash and burn while trying to use in flight).
I understand that much of the remote camera and gimbal control functionality through the Solo is lost without using the Solo gimbal and a suitable camera (not the 5). However, the Walkera does a nice job stabilizing and the Smart Remote does nicely with camera remote. I understand that FPV and remote gimbal tilt and roll adjustment will be lacking without mods (I have seen GP5 hdmi hacks and Walkera gimbal wiring for the Solo).
I am desperate to find a drone with better GPS flight control capability. Is the Solo a sensible choice on this basis for $199?
