Within the past year it seems like I am hearing more and more about drones but honestly I haven’t looked too much into them. My son got a small one for Christmas, very small, that honestly we haven’t even opened yet because we were waiting for nice weather here in Chicago. Then last week we saw a guy down the street from us flying a huge drone over a field. The thing was huge, and it was amazing how this huge thing was able to be flown with a remote!

Did you know that Best Buy is the destination for drones? They actually have quite the selection of drones including the new Solo™ by 3DR.

The Solo is a smart drone that is the first ever drone powered by two integrated Linux computers making it the perfect shot easy for anyone to capture. The Solo can define its own flight so the user does not have to focus on flying it and getting a good shot from above. It is an intelligent drone that also is first to support full control of GoPro cameras while delivering live HD video either wirelessly to a mobile device or through the controller’s HDMI port for live broadcasts.

The Solo™ by 3DR features four shot modes:

Cablecam: You can lock the Solo on a virtual cable between any two points in space. You can tilt the camera while it stays in steady flight and the Solo can even memorize your first and last frames so you can pan the camera between them.

Orbit: The Solo can automatically circle a subject of your choosing while pointing the camera at one item. You can even adjust the circle’s radius to get the exact frame you want, even midflight.

Selfie: With just one touch, Solo can fly up and away keeping the camera centered on you so the scenery around you expands in a dramatic aerial pullout shot.

Follow Me: You can go completely hands-free with the Solo following you wherever you go capturing every moment!

Seriously the Solo Drone sounds pretty amazing and for a techie, it would make a perfect gift. There are so many features on this beast of a drone and if you have a GoPro already it would be a perfect add-on for it.

BUY IT:  The new Solo™ by 3DR retails for $999 and can be found at over 400 local Best Buy stores.
