  • Looks good, but I can't believe the legs are that short. Forget trying to take off from grass!

  • Rob, is there any way to load a hexa or an octo firmware except of the quad on that pixhawk2, does it connect to MP at all? 

  • Are there any options to using a GOPRO and maintain the same functionality (i.e., live video feed, smartphone, etc.)?

    It appears to work with any camera with a microHDMI connector.  I've used it with a Sony AS100V and it worked.

  • It will for sure need longer legs...

  • I wonder if 3DR will release the pixhawk2 along with their controller separately or we'll have to dig those things out of the SOLO?? to use with big birds? 

  • Distributor

    if it is freely available in various stores, does it mean that the export restrictions of 3DR products have been lifted?

  • The bottom of the camera/gimbal is scary close to the ground in the picture. . .???

  • I don't think it is open source, but I don't mind, making it do what you want will be what the app and the app store are for. I imagine if you want to do mapping you download the mapping app for it. Smart drone alright. They have built a seriously stable aircraft by the looks of the design. Very ballsy move with the warranty - they are obviously very confident in this machine. I like it. I like that the controller also logs the machines goings on as well as the aircraft. I like the gopro package. I like the accessory bay idea. I like the motor design with esc on board. I love the controller with HD output. I like the way it writes its own report to 3dr if something unusual happens or it suspects a failure. I like the flight time. I like the shooting options - just download the kind of shot you want from the app store... I am really impressed. The gopro is a better quality camera than the P3. The Phantom 3 was an upgrade of the same, but this, this is a game changer. Totally different. And upgradeable and expandable. Future proofing. You dont get that with a DJI or Parrot. Now I am excited to see what accessories come out for it. I've read there is a travel backpack to carry it around in. Powerful onboard computer for a flight management system. Very impressed. The more reviews I read the more I want one. Really excited to see some reviews start coming out on youtube to get a look at it in action. The website is pretty slow for me so I guess there is a lot of interest. And I completely understand. Awesome work 3DR. Can't wait to see it in a mall near me!

  • Rob, do you know the payload capacity?
