Solo Bundle Deals (missed BB's clear-out)

[rcflyingaddict]

Looks like I missed the close out sale (was it 300 for bundle, including solo, gimbal, extra battery and bag?) Are there any bundle deals (new) or was that a one time 'deal'?

Various retailers ran special bundle sales off and on for about the last year. I think they are out of inventory so we rarely see them anymore.
Be cautious of sales on eBay- there have been some fraudsters there. Imagine that..

Yep - looks like the bundle deals are gone for now. I can't see paying close to the cost of a nib solo just for the gimble.

The cost of the Solo itself is beginning to creep back upward.....

Just went onto B&H photo- they still have them.

[Bilge]

No gimbal

Is that the same price they were at BB? Or were they $299?

I bought mine at Best Buy in Jan 2017.....$299 at the time......Solo.....& extra battery.......

Just selling for my cost.......I bought 2 at the time....No need for 2nd one as the 1st one is very dependable.....

I thought 299 included the gimbal?

 

[Bilge]

Battery or the gimbal......

Gotcha - so back when gimbal's were sub 50 I guess it was a toss-up. Problem with buying used in this hobby is that you loose the warranty.

 

[Bilge]

I will provide the buyer will my original receipt

You should keep it. You might not be able to get spare parts in the future. A spare will keep you in the air longer

I just bought a new Solo on Ebay for $267.99 delivered. Just the Solo, no gimbal. Look at the seller's feedback if you plan on buying on Ebay. He still has some in stock by the way. I'll be buying the gimbal and backpack later on when funds allow. I just wanted the Solo for now.

Congrat's on the Solo. Curious why you prefer ebay over Amazon's $229?
