I Love the Drone its so easy to fly especially since it hooks with GPS/Satellites when outside. So when you take your hands off the controls it will just hover in place!!! Also if you are flaying it and get turned around or loose site of it you can hit the Home button and it will fly home and land where it originally took off from. I am a beginner and it is so much easier to fly than the $99.00 one my girlfriend got me last year. I Love it!!!

I remember seeing this drone in my local BB over a year ago and thinking "that is a beautiful product!". I just didn't want to pay $1000 for it - plus another $400 for that essential gimbal. This sale price was perfect! I have flown it 4 times since I purchased it, and it has been stellar. It's quite cold up here in Alaska at the moment, so I can't objectively rate battery life (about 13 minutes now, hopefully better in the summer). If you own a GoPro 3+ Black up to a 4 Black, this is an excellent buy.

At this price, this is the best value drone for beginner. It came with gimbal, controller, a backpack, one smart battery and 4 pairs of propellers. It is advisable to purchase an additional smart battery and propellers since both are currently on sale. The GPS lock takes a little longer than I would have expected but it is an easy upgrade to replace the stock GPS module.

The 3DR Solo drone is amazing. I have been flying RC airplanes and helicopters for over 40 years and all I can say is wow. I have yet to use all the features of the drone but it is easy to fly. My son flew it for the first time no problem. The gimbal and the backpack make it a complete package that you can grab and go. Fly safe
