Great product

I am somewhat of a professional drone hobbiest in that I have owned or still own several drones including the 3DR Solo DJI Phantom 3 pro and Phantom 4. I've had my phantom 4 since they were released. I can honestly say that the 4 is by far my favorite. I've probably flown 100 hours on the 4 and so far, it has lived up to all my expectations. It's stable, predictable and takes great video. The range on the 4 is unbelievable. If I have any concerns at all it is that my confidence in the 4 pushes me to exceed my normal boundaries and fly this thing in places I wouldn't have thought about before. It's just that good though. First time buyers and more experienced flyers will all no doubt appreciate the Phantom 4.

3D Robotics Solo Drone: Using the Solo's smart flying features, you don't have to be on the sidelines to capture memories — you can be a part of them, too. Choose from a variety of autopilot modes, from premapped flight paths, to orbit, lock-on-and-follow, and more. Now you can worry less about keeping the drone in the air, and focus on taking amazing footage to share with your friends and family.Fly Responsibly:The FAA requires operators of unmanned aircraft weighing more than 0.55 pounds (250 grams) on takeoff (including everything on board or attached), and operating outdoors, be registered at www.faa.gov/uas/registration. If you are under age 13, you must have a parent or someone age 13 or older register for you. Additional state or local requirements may apply. Check your local jurisdiction. The following websites may help you make informed decisions about how regulations impact you: www.knowbeforeyoufly.org and www.modelaircraft.org. Some manufacturers recommend minimum age requirements for operating certain models of unmanned aircrafts. See the Specifications tab on this page for the Recommended Minimum Age for this product.

Read Tony's review posted April 21. Dead on. I have the Solo and the DJI Phantom 4. The Solo has a mind of its own and unfortunately all indicators are the 3DR is in trouble. Customer service has definitely declined, the company has downsized over the last year and every time there is an update to the solo software there are weeks or months of software bugs that seem to linger. The concept 3DR used to sell Solo initially sold me but allot of that apparently was just hype. At this point, I can honestly say that I would not buy a Solo again. Just too many issues. And yes I have tried to sell mine but tony was being nice- used Solos are going for 4-500 max. I have over 1800 in mine with accessories and extra batteries. Best offer I've had is 800.
