I'm sure it is, Meta4. The one thing I don't like it is that the ESC's and the GPS units and circuitry and the WiFi and everything else is all one board. If one component fails, it's $500 to replace the whole board. Plus, what I've been told is that the P3 is sealed so that it can only be opened by an authorized service center or the factory (or there's a special tool needed), and that opening it voids the warranty.
I've been target shooting since 1963. The gun industry bends waaaayyyy over backwards to keep customers happy. In 1998 I bought a Kimber Stainless Gold Match, Kimber's top of the line pistol, for $1100. Four years later--long after the warranty expired, I shot a buddy's $300 AMT Hardballer, and thought it had a better trigger. I called Kimber to tell them this, and they told me to send it to them. They did a trigger job for free two or more years after the warranty expired. Other manufacturers I've dealt with have sent replacement parts at no cost. The manufacturers know that they need to keep customers satisfied, because there's so much competition for those customers.
From what I've read and heard, it seems like DJI has behaved as if they had a near-monopoly on all this. 3DR is making the Solo modular, so that aftermarket parts and software can be fitted. They seem to be aware of DJI's failings, and are marketing to those. If the Solo is a good product, DJI will either change or lose a big chunk of market share.
