I have been going back and forth, forum to forum, have read everything I could get my hands on about the P3 and the Solo. Although the jury is still out concerning the Solo (which still counts for a lot) several events that have taken place recently has swayed me to the 3DR camp.
#1. I don't have to recount all of the comments about DJI Customer Support. I wrote to them a month ago, have yet to receive an answer. On the other hand I have written 3 times to 3DR (Solo), twice on Memorial Day with questions and Im not even a customer,,,yet! All three times I received responses within several hours,,,including on Memorial Day! So, score a big + in the Customer Support column for 3DR. In addition they included several links on "under development" items which is impressive. Capability and Features?? For me still a +. Lastly, and probably most important, the GoPro camera. I have 2 H4's but that's not the point. I have a very close friend within GoPro. The new H5 will be out in October with a host of new and incredible features once again raising the bar. Un-mount the H4, mount the new H5 (3DR partnered with GoPro),,,AND,,,a whole new AV bird!! So, seems to me that in 4 months or so the P3 camera will be the old generation camera,,,then what??. Yeah, yeah,,,price difference but as any educated consumer knows that products like these are purchased based on quality, service, and price,,,in that order. Just my comments, not taking shots at P3 or any others.
