Well, I work for a tech dept at a school and we just received a grant for Video Production.....quite a bit of $, so we are going to buy a drone. Since I'm the only one who knows anything at all about drones or actually owns one, it's pretty much up to me to make the decision.....I'm leaning towards the 3DR SOLO for a few reasons, the "Follow me" feature, the "Orbit" feature, DJI's well known poor customer service (customer service is very important to a school) and mostly because of the HDMI streaming capability directly from the Remote, this will give us the option to stream live into our Sports broadcast. And after reading another really interesting post yesterday on DJI's awful customer service...that kinda tipped the scales in the SOLO's favor for sure! I'm always a little nervous to pull the trigger on something when it so new, I like to wait till a company works out the bugs and kinks, but 3DR has had good luck with their IRIS+ (at least from what I've heard and read), so hopefully the SOLO will be all it's cracked up to be!!
