'Made for Solo' Initiative

Made For Solo | 3DR | Drone & UAV Technology

Really surprised no one is talking about this. In the other thread there were 2 posts on the survey but no actual discussion. Epson and JK Imaging of Kodak are already on board for development of the accessory bay for augmented reality as a flight assistance tool and virtual reality content creation, respectively.

I'm really interested in the 360 cam. I know they just recently released one that does 2048x2048 50fps, I'm not quite sure what that means though for the Solo. Does that mean they'll release one just exclusive to the solo or will there be some type of gimbal or attachment? Someone just slapped one on the bottom with video..it was actually pretty stabilized (i wonder if it has built in IS) I dont see how with a gimbal or attachment you can get the legs out of the shot? Would 2K res still produce the dreaded screen door effect on a VR headset?

Also curious about this. I have heard numerous rumors, including from Red (that is releasing a small camera) as well as the parachute, Lidar, light stuff released by 3DR.

One guy apparently mounted 2 360 cameras.. One on the top, and one on the bottom...

I am a "video guy" so I personally am very interested in the Lidar and Optical Flow areas, for indoor filming. I don't actually need it that much, but when you need it, you need it....

not sure if this is on the official adapter...but it works in VR mode.

some guy hung it by a rope lol

Anyways, here you can see the official pics. Too bad accessory bay doesnt seem to be used so it's just an adapter mount and gopro/gimbal has to be removed. Stock legs will be in the way but it seems like they're developing retractable legs.

Interesting. I didn't know someone had bought the Kodak name to use on cameras. To bad the real Kodak didn't see the future as clearly as their competitors did.
