Thinking about moving to Karma - comments?

By 26th Oct up, we can now see many youtube videos of first time flight of Karma by newbies.
All share one thing in common, its gimbal is very stable.

Ian, there are videos out with a Mavic flying under extreme windy conditions during the typhoon in Taiwan - I would not make the statement that Solo does better w/o a direct comparison.

Also, certainly there is no Solo doing 100mph. You will need a dedicated race drone to reach such speeds. A drone of the size and bulk shape of Solo would require likely 120+Amps continuous draw to reach such speeds. Besides other ESCs, that would require different motors, and certainly a completely different battery. ;-)
No doubt Philip's speed was almost certainly with the wind and he did say you'd lose attitude. The top speed of Solo is software enforced that's part of the reason Arducopter Master can't be put straight onto Solo. With upgraded ESCs it can exceed that.

I think we need money on it, if you're going to assert you can fly Mavic in GPS mode in 40MPH winds. ;)
