Mike T commented on Paul's blog post Drone-maker 3D Robotics cuts jobs, refocuses on corporate market.
"They totally stuffed up with the price of the solo. the original price was ludicrous. Not even worth a look in when a phantom 3 was so much cheaper, with camera, gimbal, etc. It's hardly surprising that this has happened, but i feel it could have…"

Mike T commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Sony/3DR announce new Enterprise camera for Solo
"nice job 3DR. As mapping and inspection applications ramp up i think we will see some 3DR start to take some market share from DJI. No-one who knows anything about multirotors would use a phantom or inspire for mapping, but a lot of people have only…"

Mike T commented on jlcortex's blog post Successful flight test of hybrid gas+electric VTOL UAV: HYBRiX
"if you want people to get on board, don't make misleading claims. Your video says 2.5h.

Mike T commented on Chris Anderson's blog post A few stats on crowdfunded drone projects that I backed
"will be interesting to see what happens with the lilly. pretty much the same thing i can image.  also unrelated. I also just purchased an IRIS+ for some light mapping, rather than a solo as the features and flight time are practically the same. I…"

Hello Michael,
