For anyone that cares, replacing all ESCs and motors fixed my issues.

Hi All, I've been flying with an ND filter for some time now and have been pleased with what I have shot. However, I find that when I am flying directly towards the sun, my footage looks weird and washed out - very washed out. Quite hard to recover it. It looks worse on ND8 than it does on ND4...

I've had these motors for over a year now, have had many flights. I decided to bite the bullet and just get the v2.i escs and motors. I will report back with how this improves things. Oh, before I went and bought a bunch of new hardware, I did an advanced IMU calibration, and I also calibrated...

Hello all, I've been flying trouble free for quite some time now. I have only just today noticed that when in forward flight, I'm barely able to climb any longer. If I stop moving forward, it will climb. It definitely doesn't sound as punch as it used to. I tried several batteries - same thing...

I had my H3-3D attached with cable ties against a kyosho anti-vibration sheet, but reverted to good old screws and the anti-vibration sheet. Went for a test flight - zero jello. Still remaining sceptical about this, as the light wasn't as strong, so I suspect the slower shutter speeds may have...

Hi FlyingFox, Can I be so bold as to make a few suggestions for your improving your video? I know these are only test shots, but things that I would avoid, and that will make your piece seem tighter, would be to try and avoid the awkward camera movements. So any sort of wavering, hunting for...

Hi All, So I have been battling jello with the GP3 and now the GP4 Black, mounted on a H3-3D for some time. I have tried many different things, including what the original poster did. My jello has in fact become worse as I've gone on! I know it's probably unrealistic to expect zero jello in...

Hi All, I recently installed extended landing gear, which you should hopefully be able to see in the attached photo. My query is with regards the compass location. I can't move it down so it is oriented the same as it was with the old legs - therefore it is at a slight angle to the craft, which...

These restrictions are good if you're a hobbyist, but if you use your phantom commercially, (legally of course, with CAA approval in the UK) you actually do not want such restrictions. The man giving our BNUC-S course in England told us that those restrictions that DJI put on the phantom aren't...

Lovely! I know you didn't ask for any critiques - but the only thing I didn't really like was your fades - too many fades dude! (In my humble opinion anyhow) I like to mix aerial and ground level footage - finding that just aerial stuff tires after a while - like anything repeating over and...

Amazing locations - agree with badbrad about the gimbal tilt - I adjusted mine to a very slow setting - allows for lovely smooth movement. I know there is no hard rule for shooting aerial footage, but I tend to try to be as smooth as possible. The one thing that always jars visually with me is...

Batteries are the main barrier, I've had my phantom on a plane several times without issue in the UK. You can only carry those on as hand luggage. If you're travelling with someone have them take a few batteries on - split them up. Depending where you are flying from and too, get ready to have...

Re: In UK, TGI Fridays using UAV's indoors to get patrons ". So dumb to fly those right over people and indoors... staggeringly stupid. If you are flying indoors the CAA don't care, as indoors isn't classed as airspace :)

I've completed and passed the BNUC-S theory part recently and am in the process of working on my operations manual. Hope to be flying commercially in the new year along with my colleague! The others are right - if you're doing this for financial gain, you need permission from the CAA. The...

Not illegal in the UK or Ireland either - enough of your American centric thinking!
