3DR Solo Drone with GoPro control features

It’s no argument that one of the biggest gadget sensations right now. That’s understandable, what with the cool-factor combination of flying a radio-controlled craft and the ability to record footage from places you’d never be able to take your DSLR. Be it for casual fun or business purposes, they’re fun toys (or tools, depending on how you look at it.) Just be sure to be aware of your local laws regarding the flying of drones.

Best Buy is a great place to check out the latest in consumer drone technology, including the new Solo by 3DR. The Solo is a smart drone that made its debut in over 400 Best Buy store locations on June 8, right in time for Father’s Day. It’s the first drone powered by two integrated Linux computers. It can define it’s own flight path, allowing you to focus on getting the right shot, and it even has the ability to fully control GoPro cameras.

You can pick up the 3DR Solo drone for $999. If you buy one by July 11th, it will come with a free Solo Smart Battery, which is regularly priced at $149.99.
