So, this was finally officially announced.
I gotta say, some of the features I'm jealous of. I love the P2, but I pine for control over the GoPro while flying.
Sure I could have gone with a V+ and got some more control, and the P3 adds a bit more now, but things we've been wishing DJI would build in as native controls these guys have just done instead of opening it up for users to do it for them. Hello, orbit!
The Solo looks like crap (personal opinion, I just don't like it), but some of the features are really great (different colour LED options if multiple people flying is just one great idea). Even silly things like the auto selfie
Some of the footage in the video on the article doesn't look as smooth, but it's recorded from the iPad by the looks of it so might be some lag in there. They also say in the article that it's something they're trying to fix so guess it is actually in the footage too.
The GoPro control requires the gimbal add-on too, which adds some cost to it, but then so does the H3-3D.
3DR offer great support by the sounds of it. All flights are logged, and if it crashes and it's not your fault the thing will say do you want to submit a ticket? Then they'll replace for free, even the GoPro if that gets broken too!
This is a great write up by the Verge.
