“On the software side, Solo already has the best autonomous flight capabilities among the consumer drones we’ve reviewed. At CES it announced the addition of a powerful new feature, multi-point cable cam. This allows you to sketch out complex shots with multiple camera moves and points of focus. 3D Robotics also added the ability to save these shots so you don’t have to recreate them from scratch after you close the app.”
