I've been trying not to buy either The Phantom 3 or the 3DR Solo.
I fell in love the Phantom 3 in the short time I had to test one a few months back, but 3DR made a compelling offer, considering the serious GoPro integration.
And I'm not a fan of integrated components you can't switch out (Phantom 3 cameras) no matter how good they seem to be.
Time will tell. I'll probably quit whining and end up with the Phantom 3 Pro. $1250 for a third gen with a 4K camera that's nearly as good as the (surprisingly fantastic) H4B?
@armchair But... you can take that H4B off the (insert your favorite UAV here) and use it on another, or use it as a handheld, or traditional action cam strapped to the fender of the car, rollcage of the Polaris Razr or the helmet of your favorite snowboarder or... Also... I think the GH4 is less likely to become incapacitated in the event of a "unfortunate incident" involving gravity and the ground.
$150 for an extra battery. No thanks.
I like it but if I was spending that amount I would have to get one of the new Phantoms. It's hard to beat that value.
@crapstick I hear ya. But this one has sort of next level flight control capabilities.
@crapstick def agree!

@ruouttaurmind Are you trying to persuade me to get the Solo? :p
@armchair I need a guinea pig to try it out before I order one. ;-)
