Erik Graham replied to Justin M's discussion I'm ready to drop 3DR, go with DJI in IRIS
"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…"

Erik Graham replied to Justin M's discussion I'm ready to drop 3DR, go with DJI in IRIS
"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."

Erik Graham commented on Paul's blog post Drone-maker 3D Robotics cuts jobs, refocuses on corporate market.
"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…"

Erik Graham commented on Paul's blog post Drone-maker 3D Robotics cuts jobs, refocuses on corporate market.
"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,…"

Erik Graham left a comment on 3DR SOLO
"@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."

Erik Graham commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Solar-powered launch system allows totally unattended operation
""are you get paid to market Dronebox and troll this thread with your marketing ideas ?"

Yes. You got me! Lol.

Anyway, I'm done with you. Your all over the map. Back to the topic...

For me the most compelling use of a drone box like this is for…"

"@Darius,

I refuse to believe that anyone is so singularly devoid of imagination that they can't envision a use case beyond air shows (really?). You are either a troll who is being deliberatly obtuse, or some kind of stubborn old curmudgeon who is…"

Erik Graham commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Solar-powered launch system allows totally unattended operation
"Really Darius?

You really can't see the practical applications of being able to leave a drone in a location and have it conduct scheduled missions? And you can't see the applications for a fleet of such drones?

I think your just being difficult on…"

Erik Graham commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Solar-powered launch system allows totally unattended operation
"For some reason this video makes me miss flying my Iris.

Anyway, @Darius, I think the point is to store the drone in a safe place protected from the elements while not in use. And it's pretty smart technology when you look at the whole package, not…"

Erik Graham commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Solo flight simulator for iOS and Android out now
"It's very very basic. No smart shots. Basic map (statue of liberty). But it's cool and it works with the Solo controller. Personally I've been trying land on a passing motor boat.

I'd love to see more maps from 3DR, but the Holly Grail would be…"
