Just last week we saw the latest DJI drone. Now, 3D Robotics introduces the 3DR Solo—a lightweight aircraft engineered for effortless flight.
Unlike DJI’s integrated camera, the Solo mounts a GoPro on a rigid, stabilized gimbal, delivering crisp, steady imagery.
The controller resembles a video‑game console, complete with a detachable screen mount, making the learning curve minimal for novices.

Advanced, User‑Friendly Features
- Object‑tracking and orbit mode for cinematic looping shots.
- "Fly‑away" mode that keeps the camera locked on a subject while the drone retreats dramatically.
- On‑board GoPro controls—no landing required to tweak resolution, frame rate, or exposure.

The platform is open‑source, inviting developers to expand capabilities and create innovative applications.
Ideal for hobbyists who want high‑quality footage without a steep learning curve.
Availability: May 2015. Pricing starts at $1,000 (without camera) or $1,400 with a GoPro included.
