    Aftermarket battery vote/ survey.

    In Australia a proper DJI battery cost around $250, the 3rd party battery cost for $90-140. It's easy to see how one would choose the cheaper option. Also non of these China copies are identical to the original so I think it's hard to call them fakes more 3rd party. I just wish you could buy the...

I see Apple and a drone company like Parot or DJI coming out with an Apple variant with features specific to IOS. There was talk of the Icamera and it was...

    Problem with h.265 footage - "broken GOP"?

    4K is awesome until you realise that your 2yr old computer won't cut it when time to edit. Tho I will ask why the hype over 4K when so few people have a 4K tv or monitor?

    What happens when the drone pilot has a gun and decided to shoot the person who shot down their drone? At that point one would argue that an armed person shot down their model was armed, irate and had damaged their property

    P3 Conversion Kit to Mavic style

    I'd say buy a mavic if that's what you want tho if I had a smashed P3 frame and had to replace it anyways then this might be an option. Interestingly it will be made of alloy not plastic
