New Solo pilot

[ajf3]

Hi all!

I'm new here, so I thought I'd drop a post to say hello! Ended up here because I saw that B&H was selling the Solo for $130 while shopping for a drone for Christmas for my 12 year old son, I'm really excited to have gotten a drone with these awesome features for essentially the price of a toy - I think he's going to be really jazzed!

Anyway, I'm going to be searching around to see if there's a recommended GoPro knock off to use.. not planning to get the gimbel right now either, so need to find out if I need some sort of mount I'd need to directly attach whichever cam I get or not, too.

Be well!

Welcome. I'm new here myself. Took advantage of the B&H deals too.

The best knock off is the SJ9000 you can get on ebay for about $29,and welcome to you both to Sololand.

Thanks for the tip on the SJ9000! Do you know if it will mount directly to the Solo - or do I need to find an adapter?

It will mount to the camera mount and it has the HDMI for live feed

Just bought the 4k SJ9000 on eBay (25% off) for under $23! Shipped from USA even.

Thanks for the tip Dave!

I am going to use it on my non-gimbaled Solo.

Here is the link for the one I bought:

To make it easier for anyone interested, I scanned the QR codes (in that auction) to get the links to the apps that control that specific camera.

Here is the Android version:
