exciting machine. Although I have to say the camera in their gimbal almost touches the ground. Leg extensions will probably be the first accessory sold ;-). I like the idea of the H-frame. But why not have the camera mounted in front. Avoids the need for a landing gear and gets rid of the pendulum effect when the camera hangs under the copter...
When you consider how underwhelming 3DR hardware has been to date, this is pretty spectacular. I hope it all works as advertised early on. There will be a lot of newbies taking these home from Best Buy.....better be idiot proof.
I don't know where the Phantom's are being sold, but Best Buy is a really major chain. And that's quite a list of other chains that it's being sold at. That's probably the most impressive part of all this is the move from DIY to Box Store...

Flight Time?
My personal experience with the IRIS was so bad bordering on direct fraud that I'm not inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt a 2nd time.
I can't find the cost breakdown anywhere on their web site..... is $999 without gimbal and gopro?
It says that GoPro and gimbal weigh 300 g. I wonder what's the maximum payload for the Solo.
At some point 3DR will have to keep some IP non open source if they are to make any serious $$. Let's see.

Very difficult to find hard numbers on tech specs. There is a long thread here: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2387197&page=39 but not too many specs mentioned... I hope they open source the HD video link.

Impressive looking new controller, one thing I've always thought we could improve on for sure. Great work!

Very nice quad. but using but fish eye gopro :-( and expensive ! they're falling behind better floor the
gas pedal and give it all has. :-) I still have hope for 3dr :-)
Looks good.
Also wondering what is the pix 2, and the software behind.
Does it means 3DR Solo HW & SW is no longer open sourced ?
Looks nice, Congratulations to 3DR on another product launch.
