Okay, so I believe we're all pretty much DJI fans on here, but for a couple of years 3DRobotics was snapping at DJI's heels. In fact, at NAB last year in Vegas, their stand was right between GoPro and DJI. However, the commercial space has not been kind to 3DR, so they're moving to service the commercial sector exclusively. This has resulted in the remaining stock of 3DR Solo quadcopters equipped with a gimbal for the GoPro Hero 3+ or 4 for just $299!
Given the pace that this technology advances at and that it was launched in 2015, already machines like the Mavic outperform the Solo in almost every way (and of course include a camera). However, the Solo controller does include an HDMI out, which can beneficial in certain situations.
If you already have an older GoPro and haven't yet got brave enough to throw $1,000 in the sky regularly, perhaps this could represent a great starting platform, or a cheap reconnaissance/consumable second aircraft for those who already have one but don't always want to risk their bird in certain situations.
