Solo, the Smart Drone
Looking for the perfect gift to give your husband or father for Father’s Day? Check out what’s new at Best Buy! Best Buy is the destination for drones, including the new Solo™ by 3DR. Now is the time to explore for Father’s Day.
Solo, the Smart Drone, arrived in over 400 Best Buy stores on June 8, just in time for Father’s Day. It’s the first-ever drone powered by two integrated Linux computers, making capturing the perfect shot easy for anyone. The Solo retails for $999. Oh my goodness this looks so cool! This intelligent drone is also the first to support full control of GoPro® cameras and deliver live HD video either wirelessly to your mobile device or through the controller’s HDMI port for live broadcasts.
A neighbor recently posted a video of our community pool which he captured from something similar. What an awesome thing to be able to do all by yourself! I love technology and am always looking for something new and fun. The only thing I see wrong with this is that it was not out in time for Mother’s Day! Haha!

Worried about flying the Drone and watching the camera at the same time? There is no need to with Solo. Solo can define its own flight, freeing users to focus on getting the shot.
My stepson has a GoPro and use to take great video of the mountains in California. Having the Solo to go along with would have made his videos so much better. I really wish my husband was into this so I could buy one. Maybe I’ll just have to get myself a special gift.
From June 7th to July 11th you can get a FREE Solo Smart Battery (Reg. Price: $149.99) when you purchase the 3DR Solo Drone (Sku: 5354101). Disclaimer: Offer valid with purchase of the 3DR Solo Drone SKU: 5351035
Would you buy one for you father or husband this year?
I would love to get a drone for my hubby but guaranteed he would be using it to spy on the kids or spy on the neighbours. How much is the camera that attaches to it?
This would be a perfect gift for my hubby! He’s all about electronics and has been talking about a drone forever!
that looks so cool!!! My boys would love that
Getting the battery free is a pretty good deal. The aerial shots the drones can make are amazing.
This is SO cool! I want to get one for ME. My hubby would go crazy over a gadget like that!
My husband would LOVE this!! He is a huge Gadget person so he can definitely appreciate this!
I bet you can get some sweet angles with these. I’d be happy just to play around with one!
What a fun toy for a grown man. My father in law would absolutely adore this!
This is so much fun! I know I would be so stoked if this were a gift for me!
My husband has been wanting one of these so bad! I’m going to surprise him for our anniversary in August. I think he’ll keep me around another 15 years too 😉
My husband saw me looking at this post and said “Are we getting that”? Maybe one of these days!
That looks like SO much fun! I am sure my husband would love it if I surprised him with it!
I love the technology of this. I think you can get a great arerial photo using a camera with a drone.
