Not bad for stripping and savaging parts from a discontinued quadcopter 
There is a strong community of builders that have started stripping the guts from the 3DR Solo and building larger versions. Killed by poor marketing, the HW design was ahead of it's time. Using an iMx6 computer in line with both the FC and another in the controller allowed for great onboard capabilities. Like DJI & Yuneec, the HD video feed, telemetry and control are all incorporated. Below is a build based on this hardware. It carries a Sony a6300 and It has full control of the Start/Stop recording, take pictures, Zoom and power. It will carry that camera for about a 25min flight.
Total parts including gimbal is less than $2000. It uses the 21x7 props from the DJI m600. RCT 135kv motors & 2 6s batteries.
