    Vote hate or love the new layout

    Yeah I'm not a fan of the new site at all. Not trying to be against change I just think the new theme (especially the colours and new logo) look tacky. Also forums look messy and hard to navigate. I've been using the forums less and less lately due to the fact 90% of topics are just people re...

    Why lock the Inspire thread?

    I understand that Adam is trying to get everyone to use the new forum but I for one won't be using a completely different forum just for one product (that I don't own / won't be buying) but I would still like somewhere on here to talk about it at least. Seems a strange decision to lock that thread.

    We made the CBS Evening News!

    Well said. Absolute garbage of a news story. I'm still amazed at how networks can air this crap. I do agree that any RC aircraft strapped with explosives is a huge security risk and technology should be developed to keep these things out of certain air spaces but the angle this idiot has taken...

    H3-3D + Hero4 two questions

    Just be careful when doing that. It's not just the total weight that affects the gimbal but also where that weight is. Removing the battery will reduce weight at the back of the camera. Then putting on a ND filter will add additional weight to the front. Even if the total weight is the same the...

    Phantom 2 drifts after rotation

    Pretty sure it's quite normal to have yaw drift. I and many others experience it and once the yaw is finished you should find it will return to its position. There are a few posts here explaining it.

    Interesting use for a Phantom

    Too many people getting their hands on Phantoms. I like the fact it was the Albanian Prime minister's brother haha http://www.watoday.com.au/sport/soccer/ ... 165e9.html EDIT: Just found this article in the video section. Feel free to lock.

    Fly Away (or not) Survey?

    No problem. Hopefully saves you the time of starting a new one from scratch. I found the google document mentioned in the first post on that thread to be quite detailed.

    What video format to export in

    Where do you want your final video to go to? You have many codec options. For web I'd suggest a H264 codec in either a Quicktime or MP4 wrapper. I know Premiere has many presets for places like Vimeo and Youtube to make it easy for you. FLV is a highly compressed codec and rarely used...

    Thoughts on the Ronin?

    Yeah we've got one here too. The pipe dolly has been given the flick and the Ronin has been used many times on videos we have made. Very impressive bit of kit when used correctly
