The 3DR Solo Drone was designed for the GoPro Hero 4 camera. 3DR has many features, such as cable camera, track, following me and taking selfies, which will allow you to capture great aerial photos and movies from every Angle. The 3DR Solo is top-notch, and the GoPro Hero 4 can be used in 4k UHD to shoot excellent aerial views, which can shoot 4k video at 30 frames per second, and 2.7k at 60 frames per second.
After 3DR Solo recorded some amazing 4K images, you might want to edit these 4K footage in Premiere Pro CCto make it more stylish before uploading to YouTube or Posting on Facebook. While Adobe claims that Premiere Pro CC can handle (usually) 4K files without much problem, many people find the painful experience of editing 3DR Solo 4K material in Premiere Pro CC. And now you and they will have a delayed play. In addition, Adobe PP CC can handle (usually) 4K files without many problems, but it is very hardware intensive. Here are the Premiere Pro CC optimized 4K playback Settings.
