Just for the next day -- get it while you can!
Comes with the latest 2.4 software with such features as Smart Rewind RTL, Panos, and Ziplines (on iOS now, and Android catching up to latest features next month)
.
The version without gimbal is a great and cheap open source development platform. We use dozens of them for swarming (instructions coming soon)

Ordered!
Sorry Chris,
I really tried to ask this clearly, all I wanted to do was clarify if the Solos currently being shipped contained the rev A or the Rev B module, because of the troubles reported by Rob and others for the Rev A.
Some places it was referred to as revision 1 and 2 other places as revision A and B which is a confusion also present in the other correspondence I have seen on this issue.
However, it does seem to me that Vincent's response clearly indicated that these sale Solos were NOT revision B.
So now I am even more confused, according to what you are saying they are almost certainly revision B GPS modules.
I suppose a confusion could exist if there is going to be a revision to the main boards of the Solo, but that wasn't discussed.
I will take it that you are correct and am going to order one of these.
If it turns out to be a rev A GPS and I have difficulties with it, you will probably hear from me again.
For that matter if it works perfectly, you will probably hear that from me also.
And don't you really think it would be a good idea at least for customer relations to make Rev B modules available to those who do have legitimate problems, perhaps, in addition to Rob???
Damned if you do - Damned if you don't - Have A Nice Day.
Best regards,
Gary
I think Vincent may have been confused by what the customer was asking. Most of the Solos produced used what you're calling the Rev B GPS (black board). I'm not sure what inventory is currently being pulled from, but at this point it's almost certain to be Rev B.
However, Vincent is correct that we don't sell Rev B GPS modules as a stand-alone product.
Hi All,
The response from Vincent at 3DRs customer support chat above is confusing.
In one sentence Vincent says the Rev B boards won't be available as an add on, then in our final correspondence he says "available as a separate item".
But in any case, it seems the Solos currently being sold for this sale do not include the rev B GPS module and from user reports, the Rev A boards have shown significant problems.
I really wanted to buy one of these, but it truly seems that what 3DR is doing is clearing out the old rev A Solos so they can start selling the new rev B ones. and it does sound also like the rev B upgrades will not even be available.
I Definitely think this is a sucky business practice, especially since they seem to have gone to great trouble not to mention it.
Also notice Chris failed to respond to my original question regarding that.
Best Regards,
Gary
I'm confused now.
Today, here in Spain this is the price:
Europe: $914
In USA the standard price is $799.95 ?
Why this difference of price?
I would like to buy one today, but I can not see any offer :(
Hi All,
I just asked 3DR customer support chat whether the rev B boards were in the Solos they are currently shipping.
I am afraid that not only is there answer no but they also will not be available for separte purchse later.
This is what Vincent said.
I may be interpreting it wrong, but you might want to hold off on these, Rob Lefbvre is very unhghappy with his rev A.
It isn't problematic, as we have been able to fly the unit with no major issues, of course on inadequate locations, it may create a problem.
maybe there will be a 4th of july extension for european users.
still willing to pay ... but not possible ...
As a friendly reminder if you want to get a hold into the commercial sector. Service got the most value to these kind of customers and they are even willing to pay a subscription. If you can manage a reaction time <4 h then you could beat DJI and competitors, otherwise it will be hard task. Service and simplicity is king in the commercial sector.
Hi Chris order Solo and the Gemba,
you can not do that
It sucks that we Europeans will not buy
