Multipoint Cable Cam, Follow With Free Look Coming This Spring

UAV manufacturer 3DR has new software coming for its Solo drone sometime this spring. At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, 3DR said its coming software update will include Multipoint cable cam and Follow with Free Look, which extends the platform’s four existing Smart Shots.

Multipoint cable cam extends cable cam’s original automated beginning-to-end design. Now you can design cables that run between an unlimited number of keyframes. This allows you to set shots looking in any direction from multiple points in space. Solo automatically adds spline curves to each keyframe for a smooth approach and exit, so your camera movement will feel professional and polished.

Solo also saves every cable cam that you create right to your app. Browse by date, location or names you give them. And cable cam’s new Timed Travel feature offers even more control. Adjust the time of your cable flight in the app to put the camera exactly where you want it, exactly when you want it there.

Free Look turns Follow into an interactive experience. When you enter Free Look you uncouple the camera from your Follow subject, but the copter keeps following. Take control of the camera whenever you want, panning and tilting to look around freely while remaining completely confident in the copter’s position and directional heading.

The release will be free to all Solo users in a wireless update.
