    This is a great 3 axis gimbal. For your solo. But beware you do have to take your solo apart to install it. Not very difficult though but instructions could be a little bit more clear.

    Assembled everything after viewing videos, had to download updates and register product. Could not get registered multiple times. Went online to get help via "Chat". Was told to forget registration and bypass process. After spending hours, I just returned product to Best Buy. I researched drone company only to find they may be exiting residential customers. Very disappointed in drone company but thankful for BestBuy..

    It's supposed to smoothly turn the camera despite the actions of the drone but it's real jerky. And Best Buy didn't know enough about it to tell me what to do.

    Gimble is for older technology and the manufacturer has stated that they will not support or create a new gimble. Already obsolete not too cool.

    I was unable to put in the last screw because the gimble was in the way. 3 stars because I never got to use it, had to return.

    This is a good add-on (must) for the 3DR Solo. However, it needs some more work to enhance stability and movement.

    After a long wait, the Solo gimbal is finally in my hands, includes all things necessary to mount on Solo (maybe except the GoPro), takes about 5 minutes to install and it's basically plug and play, love it! This product will allow you to shoot high quality aerial videos and it's really easy to control using the solo controller. You also have the gopro video feed which assists a lot when using the smartshots and shoot some awesome footage! Overall, a fantastic product, must buy if you own a Solo :)
