We’re excited to announce that Astro has been named a Silver winner for the 3DRobotics Solo drone in the 36th annual International Design Excellence Awards® (IDEA®) announced by the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA).

3DR Solo is among more than 1,700 projects from 30-plus countries that competed in IDEA 2016.

The 3DR Solo is a drone designed to combine the power and capabilities of enthusiast/professional models with the simplicity and usability of entry-level drones.

Ease of use and smartphone controls make the Solo accessible to new drone users, while high-performance hardware and programmable flight software gives advanced users the performance they want in a smarter, simpler package.

The Solo’s price point, ease of use, programmability and durability significantly means that drone flight and expert aerial photography are now available to a much wider audience, broadening creative possibilities and facilitating exploration in ways never previously imaginable.

Congratulations to all of the IDEA winners!
