Good packaging and a great battery design

It does what it does. It's a battery! Design and fit nicely on the Solo. Great flight time with it.

3D Robotics Solo Drone: Using the Solo's smart flying features, you don't have to be on the sidelines to capture memories — you can be a part of them, too. Choose from a variety of autopilot modes, from premapped flight paths, to orbit, lock-on-and-follow, and more. Now you can worry less about keeping the drone in the air, and focus on taking amazing footage to share with your friends and family.Fly Responsibly:The FAA requires operators of unmanned aircraft weighing more than 0.55 pounds (250 grams) on takeoff (including everything on board or attached), and operating outdoors, be registered at www.faa.gov/uas/registration. If you are under age 13, you must have a parent or someone age 13 or older register for you. Additional state or local requirements may apply. Check your local jurisdiction. The following websites may help you make informed decisions about how regulations impact you: www.knowbeforeyoufly.org and www.modelaircraft.org. Some manufacturers recommend minimum age requirements for operating certain models of unmanned aircrafts. See the Specifications tab on this page for the Recommended Minimum Age for this product.

Great Aerial Photography Platform but bad release!
on June 23, 2015
Posted by: DedicatedMac
I've been in the quadcopter hobby for little over 3 years and have flown with DJI F450, Lumenier QAV250, Nanos, and multiple DIY race quads. Upon opening the box I have to say this thing is beautiful compared to the new Phantom 3s. Build quality is very nice and tight. Also designed by the same people who designed the Xbox One. The Solo is light and most of the bulk is the battery itself. It comes in a nice semi-travel case for transport.
My first flight was great and dialed as expected from 3DR. The controller has many option for flight preference and great for beginners an experience pilots (beginners should start on cheaper drones so you won't have sad face when you crash this thing and you will). I'm impressed with the smart shot options and it's UI is simple and very easy to use.
Exceptions! This will be complete when the gimbal gets here for more smooth video but it still pretty nice shots I get from the fixed gopro mount.
Overall! Great quadcopter and sold build. One of the smartest or IS the smartest hobby drone out today.

Great Starter but not for quadcopters
on October 21, 2014
Posted by: DedicatedMac
Picked this up to keep on my quadcopter but to my surprise I can't take it out of the waterproof housing. It won't fit my 3-axis gimbal with the housing. That's why it so cheap compared to it's bigger brothers. I didn't see anything on the box that I couldn't take that out of the housing but overall its a great looking and great starter action camera that an amateur can pick up and go.
I returned it and bought another option to fit my needs.

Far beyond the competition with caveat
on October 8, 2014
Posted by: DedicatedMac
Verified Purchase:Yes
I decided to give this a try as we disconnected from DirecTV and run just internet with Hulu Plus, Amazon Instant Video and Netflix. Setup was quick and navigation was way so quick between menus that it made the Apple TV 2 and Google Chromecast that I have seem prehistoric. The one caveat is that they need to separate Amazon Instant Video Prime content away from buying content. It was frustrating seeing something I want to watch only to see that I have to purchase when I pay $99 for prime content.
Overall a tech worth getting just for the ease of navigation speed compared to the other competitors out there.

Disappointed! Don't waste your money.
on July 7, 2013
Posted by: DedicatedMac
Bought this for my daughter and was very disappointed in the performance to the iPad. There was no way that my daughter could press that hard for the stylus to be recognized by the iPad. I could barely get it to work properly and wish I didn't buy it!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Can you hook up a external mic?

The base GoPro Hero doesn't support external Mic attachment. You have to move a class to get that functionality.
