GSN Product Review - The Soloshot2 Robotic Cameraman!

[SleepyC]

Hey guys, the weather here in Ohio finally cooperated and I was able to get out and test the Soloshot2! AS I have stated before I was super pumped to get a chance to test this rig out as it will help me get reviews done when I can't get a second camera man! And I can say after using this bad boy, it is now on my short list as a must have unit!

Instead of typing on in the old school magazine style of review, here ya go a complete review in a video! So grab a tasty beverage, a fat bowl of popcorn and enjoy! This is the civilized way to enjoy a review. And if you really want the specs and all of that other stuff no one reads... look below the video it's there.

Thanks Sleepy!! Was just talking about your first impressions on this with a buddy, great to see a nice thorough followup!

 

[Phil.Griffin]

I like that a lot. I HATE asking people to video me, so this may be something I end up buying...

 

[Reza]

Love this!!!
I could use one today when I was testing and had no close friend to ask them to video.

Absolutely great product!

@SleepyC After watching your Awesome review Sleepy. I just had to order one, free shipping. Can't wait for it to show up. Now I can get all the video's I want, and most likely some I don't LOL!!!

Not to mention that quite honestly most people really suck at videoing airplanes. I'm spoiled because I have @thelaw with me most of the time but there are also times when she is not there or I really like the idea of the dual view shot like in Sleepy's video. For instance the other day I did an on-purpose dead stick with a Cub and got a two minute free flight. May be cool to have the solo shot on the plane with the gopro on-board!!!!!!!!!

When the weather warms up, if it ever does here in the Black hills. I will have to see if the Solo Shot 2 Pro will keep up with a 170 mph quarter 40 pylon racer.
