Calling all gadget geeks and new technology nerds, the Solo™ by 3DR arrived at over 400 Best Buy stores on June 8th, making it the perfect choice for an amazing Father’s Day gift. I mean who doesn’t want their own drone? Solo is a Smart Drone, the first-ever to be powered by two integrated Linux computers. It’s also the first drone to support full control of GoPro® cameras while delivering live HD video either wirelessly to your mobile device or through the controller’s HDMI port for live broadcasts. Smooth and powerful satellite-guided flight ensures Solo’s position is always accurate.
- Cablecam: Lock Solo onto a virtual cable between any two points in space. Then, using just one stick on the controller, you can move Solo up and down the cable. This lets you freely pan and tilt the camera while the drone stays in steady flight. Solo can even memorize your first and last frames and pan the camera between them.
- Orbit: Solo can automatically circle a subject of your choosing, keeping the camera pointed inward to capture an iconic wraparound shot. Adjust the circle’s radius to get the exact frame you want, even midflight.
- Selfie: With just one touch, Solo will fly up and away, keeping the camera centered on you so the scenery around you expands in a dramatic aerial pullout shot.
- Follow Me: Go completely hands-free. Solo can follow where you go, automatically keeping the camera on you to capture your every move.
Between June 7th and July 11th, get a FREE Solo Smart Battery (Reg. Price: $149.99) when you purchase the 3DR Solo Drone (Sku : 5354101). The Solo retails at only $999.
