    Freefly VR Beyond - Phone Headset (really great for Litchi VR mode!)

    Yeah I'd heard similar issues with the Samsungs. Nice kit for sure but very much a case of form over function in their design. I've been using these for a while since that review and really like having them in the bag for flights. I've used them probably 6 out of the last 10 flights due to the...

    To Recalibrate or not

    I suspected that would be the case. As you say the last 3 years has seen so much improvement in reliability on these areas over the old Naza based units. Probably time I just let go of my slight paranoia over constant re-calibrations then. I think I'll stick to my method of 1 good calibration...

    To Recalibrate or not

    My concern here though is you are being less safe and may end sorry... all it will take is one unlucky random occasion when you recalibrate a perfectly good compass while near something that is causing interference. At best you get a weird scarey flight withdrifty behaviour, at worst it is a...

    Zeiss VR One Plus and P4?

    I'll shed some light on this. Importantly (and you may well know this and apologies if you do) you can currently only use the Zeis, Freefly VR or other phone based VR sets with litchi. Viewing the phone without the VR mode through the googles just doesn't work. DJI Go currently has no method to...

    To Recalibrate or not

    I see so many people saying that they re-calibrate every flight and always wonder why. Not that it is necessarily a problem but everytime you re-calibrate you run the risk of a miscalibration when standing next to (or on) ground that has magntic interferance. I think this is a lot less of a risk...

    Zeiss VR One Plus and P4?

    I used the Zeiss at a demo on one of the stands at the UK drone show. Thy were ok but fell forward too much for my tastes (heavy lenses but good quality of course). I would highly recommend the Freefly VR Beyonds personally. Half the price and 120 degree fov. Really comfortable too. Reviewed...

    Follow me

    Hmmm so it should be all fine with GPS connection. A couple of things to make sure. Firstly that location services are on and allowed on the DJI Go App (if no map shows then you know that is likely the issue). Other thing to try is google maps and check it is getting your location correct. If...

    What tablet/phone are you using for flying? That is the key to the problem imo. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots

    Best laptop for video editing

    I have to agree. To a point at least. 4k is amazing but it is a huge p.i.t.a most of the time to work with. I have an i7 5960x 12 core PC with 32gb ram and it still takes a lot of time to render my 4k review videos. Plus you have the added time it takes to transfer files from SD to computer and...

    Best laptop for video editing

    I thought I'd throw some advice in here too. As other suggest there is no one laptop that does the job and therefore a minimum spec is probably more useful. Personally I would go for this as a minimum: Intel Core i7 5th (or preferably) 6th gen chips. Generally stay above 2.2ghz. 5th gen chips...

    Freefly VR Beyond - Phone Headset (really great for Litchi VR mode!)

    Just wanted to share this review on here with my fellow flyers. I was given a sample of Freefly's new VR headset for smartphone while chatting to the Freefly guys at the UK Drone Show recently. I was really impressed with it. I must admit I kinda dismissed VR headsets for phones in general...

    Interested in a new P4, should I buy one?

    I posted this a few days back on another thread with my thoughts on the Mavic vs P4.... might be another thread where it has an element of relevance including to the OP:

    Interested in a new P4, should I buy one?

    They have?! How did i not notice this earlier?! Must have escaped my attention which is annoying given the amount of water I've flown over in the last month :rolleyes: Thanks for the heads up.

    Interested in a new P4, should I buy one?

    Yeah I'd not spend the money until there is a good price drop. Camera is excellent and the subtle difference in how it is embedded and motor height means less prop in shot and no legs in view either. Redundancy systems 'should' make it more reliable and safe (not that I think the P3P had many...

    Owning a P4 and Mavic Pro

    I was going over this myself and posted a video about the subject recently. Some interesting input from the comments so far. Would love to see what others think about the points made in it. Even after making it I am still in a toss up of whether to sell the P4... just terrified of looking at my...
