"3DR support is much better, despite the problems you've had with them.
I've always had a good experience with them. To be honest, with my Iris I tend to try to fix things myself because it's so far from stock at this point. But with the Solo…"

"The Iris isn't really a consumer drone. It's more a platform for hobbyists and researchers. You'd have been much better off with a 3DR Solo."
"Isn't it safe to say that on a personal level Chris Anderson isn't getting out of the DIY side of things. It's just 3DR as a company. DIY and this site seem like a real passion for him. I don't know, it just seems that way to me, but a lot of you…"
"On the one hand Chris says 3DR has enough runway (financially) to get them through to the 2nd quarter of 2017, at which point they'll need to raise more capital (they'll actually need to start raising the round months in advance). On the other hand,…"
"Again, you seem to have all the answers, so why ask the question?"
"Why ask the question in the first place since you seem to have all the answers already?"
""as well as improved FollowMe functionality (see below)"
Any more info on the follow me improvements? I looked below and didn't see anything."

"Yay!!!! Finally. Awesome!"
"Love what you guys are doing."
"@John Moore. I'm with you. I want the camera, but not the enterprise version or any of the auto desk stuff."
"You can not do what you want to do.
The smart shots on Solo require GPS to work. That is how they are set up. For example, the Orbit smart shot works by determining the GPS coordinates for the "thing" you want to orbit. Similarly, the Cable Cam…"

"No. Don't go down that road. You are new to the Solo and pixhawk/apm/arducopter. I would not recommend changing parameters, yet. And besides, it won't allow you to do what you are trying to do anyway.
(For the record, you would need to use the…"

"Sorry. Wrong link in the post above (although it is Solo prop related). Here is a link which includes a discussion of the new APC props for Solo.

"Ouch. Big bummer. Its too late now, but when you start out, its definitely best to keep your body and the drone aligned in the same direction. So forward for you is forward for it. Right is right. Left is left. I still do this when I am coming…"
"yes.
For smooth video, I do not think you will beat the stock props, assuming they are decently balanced. For more information on your choices (and their performance), I'd start with this thread:…"

"@DG. A lot of folks I know have tried them and love them. They claim it helps reduce vibration. Personally, I don't use them. I'm just very careful about managing the cables when I install a gimbal."
