    Phantom 4 Pro plus extras. Almost brand new

    Reluctantly, due to complex personal reasons I will have to sell my Phantom 4 Pro setup. It is less than two months old and is as new except for just a tiny little teeny-weeny microscopic chip on the end of one of the motor arms and an even tinier hairline crack on the body (see photos). Both...

    DJi stopping production of Phantoms?

    Phew! Thanks for reassuring me. I must admit I thought it poppycock to stop producing such a popular model. I'll quit worrying then. :-) Cheers.

    Hope you are right Msinger. I read about it here; DJI Stops Production Of Phantom 4, Temporarily Halts Manufacture Of Mavic Pro For 2-3 Weeks Due To Lunar New Year

    DJi stopping production of Phantoms?

    What's all this I have heard about DJi stopping making Phantom 4's a sfrom this month? I have just ordered a P4P and am now reading that it seems it will be obsolete even before I get. Is this true? And if it is, will support etc be forthcoming from DJi in the form of firmware updates etc...

    Mavic or Phantom?

    Yep Matt. I need a good camera and being a noobie maybe a durable and safety-conscious controller. Presume the P4P is even less accident-prone than others with the advanced sensors etc. My mind is made up now thanks all. P4P for me! :-)

    Mavic or Phantom?

    Thanks all. Feez; Your comments were exactly how I was thinking. ie I already have two tablets which I never use so have the display already and the advantage as you say of any add-on apps. I was wondering if this method (using a tablet) is totally reliable compared to the Plus integrated display?

    Mavic or Phantom?

    Thanks Meta4. That makes good sense and I will pursue the P4P. Many thanks. Barry

    Mavic or Phantom?

    Hi I have never had a drone but would like one and am trying to find out which will suit my needs best. I must have the best (within resonable price) quality video and stills in 4K. I also need a fairly failsafe setup to prevent accidents etc. Distance covered not too critical as I just wish...

    Standard photos always look so dull

    Hmmm. Viewing all these 'samples', which most of them are excellent, I am a little concerned about the magenta cast which seems to be evident in nearly all of them, even from different people. I used to have a Sigma camera that was over-sensitive to magenta and I had a hell of a job to...

    Standard photos always look so dull

    Goldenzrule. I don't have a drone yet (its being posted) but I use exactly the same method in creating still camera HDR's that you do for anything that is in motion eg; a moving locomotive with just the one shot taken by the camera. Thus I create 'pseudo-HDRs' by saving each RAW single-shot a...

    Show me your case

    Interesting cases! I don't have my P3P yet but am looking to adapt one of my alum cases to take the P3P with rotors attached as I need to get it going as quickly as possible when out on location. Can anyone give me the approx overall dimensions of the whole basic kit so I can see if any of my...

    Hello chaps

    I'm in England, land of Biggles. I have never owned a drone before but have done lots of Hi-Res photography and recently 4K 'land' video. I have always wanted a drone but costs inhibited it until now where they are more popular I can afford what I think should be a 'decent starter' in a...
