Exactly Mr Wood. They have no real sales yet and are entirely dependent on Venture Capital money to stay afloat. If the Solo fails, 3DR is finished. If you don't understand that, I'm sorry for you. The fact that DJI released the P3 at the time and price that it did makes 3DR quest to be an...

Actually it's 3DR that's on the verge of bankruptcy and that is relevant. Also, since the Solo is not out and mere vaporware, why don't you leave until it's actually out and shooting video.

Didn't realize this was your forum, sorry about interjecting economics 101 in the forum. Why would you listen to a person with superior business knowledge or trust a market where people are actually putting their money at risk? I'd much rather take advise from a biased moderator who is in love...

I had not seen that piece but from what I see there it looks right. Agree 100% that GoPro is all about marketing. They created the action cam segment with it. However, competition is brutal and the consumer is fickle and marketing can only get you so far when dealing with competitors who...

I put sticker on mine with $$REWARD + cell phone. I was thinking $100-200. The battery might be OK after a crash. It's the right thing to do to take responsibility for any damages or injuries. Your mother would want you to put your name on your drone.

Let's have a serious discussion without flaming. For example, the merits of having an integrated camera. DJI has an integrated camera that is literally built into the Gimbal. The electronics are on top of the gimbal mount and only the lens and sensor are being balanced. Compared with a...

Don't get me wrong, the GP produces nice video with post production. Main stream consumers don't want do extensive editing. BTW, Do you think DJI is working on zoom AP cameras?

You are right, I should support my conclusions. DJI is selling a much more advanced and capable unit at a much lower price. They can do this because they have massive economies of scale that 3DR cannot hope to match. Moreover, the technical challenges and many failures we have seen with other...

One last point. GoPro has stated that they are developing their own drone. In this dog eat dog competetive situation (no pun intended ) what makes anyone think GoPro will support the GP5 on the Solo? They are going to be direct competitors.

In your opinion. If you don't like my posts don't read them. If you think that the long term business future of 3DR and GoPro are not relevant, that is your opinion and yours alone. If GoPro is struggling how can you be sure they will continue to innovate and not go out of business? Same for...

Isn't this a fan boy forum, what's your angle?

No Gimbal for months!!!! Check out RCG threads. Given the release of the P3 and the delays with the Solo and the price, why even bother releasing it? It's going to be worse than Ishtar.

The much vaunted "smart" moves of the Solo are silly and unneeded in my opinion and very few will give a rats arse. What happens when Joe Consumer accidentally sets his Cable Cam to plow through a tree? Very few actuall locations and situations where these can be used. Learn to actually fly...

Very little else to compare in thread called Solo vs P3 since the solo is months away from flying with a gimbal and these things are AP platforms. The GoPro vs DJI camera is about the only real comparison we can have with the vaporware solo at this point.

Let me guess, you are somehow affiliated with 3DR or GoPro. If so, you might want to start looking for other work. Highly unlikely 3DR will still be around in a year and GoPro is still a monster short.
