There's a lot here. If the gimbal is smooth, the vibration as little as possible and it flies as smoothly as the P2, I'll be getting one for sure.
That said BlackMagic just came out with a new micro 4/3 camera which could be a game changer as well. It's a real camera. Probably close in quality to the Panny GH4 but doesn't need an S900 sized spaceship to work. Could probably work on a small to mid-sized hex. Images will probably be stunning. It has a built-in S.BUS connection to be remote controlled. It's the first real camera designed for drone use.

I am drooling over it.
Apparently the Solo's max. payload is around 800g. The Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera weighs in
around 300g. So if a gimbal was produced around a similar weight, and you used a light lens, the Solo +
BMMCC could be a real possibility! Especially considering the expansion capabilities both the BMMCC and Solo have.
This open approach 3DR are taking could definitely take some market share away from DJI.
I'm also drooling at the BMMCC's 13 stop DR capabilities, this is certainly what I need and if I can work with a portable airframe with decent endurance, I'll be all over it.
Watching with interest.
