    DJI CrystalSky vs 2017 Apple iPad

    I recently bought a 7.85 CS Ultra bright after finding the ipad not bright enough to use in strong sunlight for Search & Rescue purposes. The first one I recieved was sent back as the delay in the video was unusable and the picture was constantly choppy and cutting up. The replacement is much...

    PFCO

    As above, with a pfco you are allowed to fly within 'congested areas' (i.e. any area used primarily for business, residential or leisure purposes), without it you aren't allowed to fly within 150m of a congested area. Even with a PfCO, techncally, you can only do this after having completed all...

    P4P+ latest update

    I've also reverted to the previous version of the firmware due to the inverted image and colours being way off when pointing straight down.

    The Mavic flies further and with stronger signal that P4P?? REALLY?

    The Mavic can also stream the live video feed at 1080p using Ocusync, P4P is limited to 720p. I have both and the Mavic feed is definitely clearer, certainly when flying out to the legal 500m in the UK

    Phantom 4 pro - pulsing/flickering

    I used to get this really bad with the Phantom 4 (original), particularly when filming over grassy areas. I haven't noticed it anywhere near as bad with the 4 Pro until last night. Looking back at the pre and post edited footage however the original 4k footage was ok but the 1080p output from my...

    Has anyone in the UK used Drones for Less

    I'm always nervous about buying something where they don't have a physical address in the UK, particuarly with something a) expensive and b) got a good chance of being faulty! The address quoted on their website is a mail box address (just google '77 Beak Street'). I contacted them and asked if...

    GoPro non-fisheye lens 4.35mm 10MP 72d FOV

    I've put a 4.35 lense (peau productions) on my hero 4 today and what a difference!! You can pan up and down at will without the whole shot distorting. Straight lines / fences / buidlings etc all stay straight. No legs in shot either even with the gimbal kicking around a bit with gusty breeze. :)...

    How to increase Phantom 1 the flight time- help

    HI Gasff, I run a phantom 1 with Zenmuse, gopro and FPV transmitter. Out of the box I was getting up to 8 minute flight times. I swapped to Vision props (genuine DJI ones) and this went up to 10 minutes. I then went to a Dinogy 2800mah battery (fits snugly without mods) and can now get 12...

    ZENMUSE Gimbal - Help!

    I had the exact same issue when I received my new phantom with the zenmuse already installed by the dealer. It went straight back and they replaced the whole gimbal, never got a technical explanation of what the fault was on the original unit,

    Orignal phantom battery size and capacity

    I had the same thoughts about twin batteries but run a single Dinogy 2800Mah which fits in the standard P1 without mods. My all up weight with this battery is 1100g and on a good day get 10-12 mins.
