I keep seeing awesome videos and pictures all over social media that were taken using a drone. And all I can think is “Dude, I really want one of those! How cool is that!?!”. I did not even know that you could get one! But you can! And you can get it at Best Buy! Best Buy is the absolute best destination spot for drones! Which includes the new Solo™ by 3DR. And with Father’s Day just around the corner, now is the time to explore these options!
This awesome drone (Solo, the Smart Drone), is already available now in over 400 Best Buy locations! It is also the first-ever drone powered by two integrated Linux computers. That means that capturing that perfect shot is easy and anyone can do it! And retailing at $999, is it a lot more attainable than what I thought and it is here just in time for Father’s Day!
This Solo drone can do some really amazing things. It can define its own flight which frees up the user to focus on getting the shot. It can support full control of GoPro® cameras and deliver live HD video either wirelessly to your mobile device or through the controller’s HDMI port for live broadcasts, and it is the first drone to do so. It is a very intelligent device!
If you take advantage of this time of year and purchase one of these for a father in your life, I have news for you about a great deal! Get a FREE Solo Smart Battery (Reg. Price: $149.99) when you purchase the 3DR Solo Drone (Sku: 5354101). Valid 6/7-7/11 at Best Buy. (Disclaimer: Offer only valid with purchase of the 3DR Solo Drone SKU: 5351035).
I know what I would use this awesome drone for first! We live in a tiny town in WV on top of a large hill. One of the 10 tallest peaks in the state! And in the fall months when the leaves all change colors, we have the greatest view of a ton of trees with beautiful colors of gold, orange, red and yellow. It is so gorgeous. And this drone will take an excellent shot of that!
What would you use this drone for first?!? Is there a Dad in your life who would love to receive this for Father’s Day?!?!

I think this is a mighty neat gadget. Not only would my husband like it, I would, too!!
I totally agree, Robin!
Oh, what fun my family would have with this drone! I can think of so many ways. Maybe this will go on my Christmas wish list.
I totally agree Alli! It is definitely on my Christmas wishlist!
These just amaze me! Technology has come so far since the days of Polaroids when I was little lol. The first time I saw this was at night and it creeped me out! I had no clue what was flying in the air lol.
Oh definitely, Christy. We have come a long way! I still have a Polaroid camera! lol
What a cool item! I’d love to try one.
They are super cool!
A friend of ours is a drone hobbyist, and he loves these things! He’s been showing off his drone to my husband, and now my hubby is wanting one of his own …
How cool! My hubby would love to have one, too!
I’d love to get my hands on this drone. I could get some amazing shots for the blog with this thing.
Wow!!!! drones looks so cool, they will be a perfect gift for my husband , I have to check them out 😀
It would make an excellent gift, Diana!
My son and my husband are both after me to get this. I’ve never seen a grown man act like such a kid over something. =D
Haha. I know exactly what ya mean, Melissa!
Maybe it’s just me but drones creep me out! Amazon delivers orders by drone (thankfully they don’t do this yet where I live) and now paparazzi use drones to take pictures of people without them knowing - I think I want to keep my world drone free for awhile longer! 🙂
This is a really neat drone. My husband would have a ball with this and I’m sure my kids would love to get their hands on one.
I totally know what you mean, Lisa. My hubby would be the same way!
Those drones look insanely cool! I can’t imagine how much they must cost, probably out of my price range sadly. Would love one though.
It is not as much as you might think. Around $999!
I’d love to see one of these in action. People are probably getting some great photos with these!
Me too Liz.
This looks like such a great gift idea. I’m sure many people would love to play with this cool looking gadget.
I totally agree with you there, Lyndsey!
I never wanted anything like this until now. I’m pretty sure my son would want this, too, but I have better not show him this anytime soon. ~lol~
I hear ya! If my hubby would see this, I’d be in big trouble.
I’m loving drones! The footage you get with it is just wild. My husband swam from Alcatraz to the Bay here in San Francisco and some dude’s were flying drones for the race, I can imagine how cool it came out!
That does sound awesome, Nancy!
These are so cool. I bet my husband would enjoy flying one. I wonder if the faa is going to regulate these in the future.
They are really cool! Not sure what the faa will do.

My husband is totally in love with drones. One day I have promised him that we would purchase one. Although I’m afraid he would never come inside lol!
Oh that is so sweet Desirae!
This truly would make any dad happy for Father’s Day I believe. I would love to have one of these and I would take a family picture with it. We would be up on Sugar Loaf Mt. here in our area which has beautiful scenery. Thanks for sharing.
That sounds like a lot of fun, Rebecca!
I love this gadget and it’s definitely on my wish list! Thank you for sharing.
Mine too! And you are so welcome!
This is just so awesome! My husband will have loads of fun with it. His been wanting to get it for weeks now.
My husband too!
This is so cool. I’ve been seeing this all over the place lately and It’s making me wish I picked one up for my husband for his Birthday (today!) kind of regretting it. This looks SO cool.
Oh my goodness, thats so awesome! I totally want one!! My husband would just steal it though… lol.
Men! lol. Mine would do the same thing!
I’ve been seeing this cool gadget a lot and I’m getting really curious. I want one for myself.
I know, right! I think everyone I know wants one!
A drone is definitely one sleek toy for the big boys. 🙂 I have no doubt my husband would be over the moon if he gets one.
Oh my husband would be, too!
These drones look so cool! I think this is a “toy” everyone in my household would love to play with. Myself included!
Oh me too, CourtneyLynne!
This is the coolest thing ever!! I would love to have one of these…this would be a fun toy for anyone in the family!
I totally agree Lisa!
Yes, I keep hearing the same things, too, Bree!

This and the GoPro are in my bucket list. It would be so nice to have them especially when traveling.
You are so right!
Wow! I have never seen this before. How awesome if that? I would love to own one of these.
Oh me too, Bonnie!
Not gonna lie…at first I thought drones were creepy but now I think they are awesome!! Great post!
Thank you so much, Ricci!
So I kept seeing the drones and I didnt know what it was until I saw the video on an Instagram video! Its super cool and futuristic way of capturing things and basically I want one!
Oh me too, Kiwi!
This is super neat, my kids have been begging me for one of these for a while, this looks like a better version of the one they saw on TV though.
Mine too, Jessica! And this one is totally awesome!
This looks like such an awesome gadget! I love shopping at Best Buy!
It really does, Shannon! And me too!
I bet if I show this to my brother - he will be soo thrilled, haha! He’d love these stuff!
I bet he would love it!
