    Your Website

    Live books does the job for me. Relatively cheap per month and lots of customisable templates. I don't offer aerial photography on my web site at the moment because a) I'm not licenced b) the quality of the phantom camera on either vision or vison+ or GoPro are not of sufficient quality for high...

    Lost & Found (Hornsey Area UK)

    Just wondering whether there should be a section to advertise Lost and Found Phantoms? Just came across a tweet about a Phantom found in the Hornsey area of the UK posted by Metropolitan Police. @MPSHaringey on 1st August - hadnt been claimed by the 4th.

    Will a F550 carry a NEX?

    Thank you for your replies.That has answered my question. Basically a NEX is too heavy for the 550 and adding a gimbal makes it even more so. Really didnt want to step up to an S800 at this time. Back to Sony RX100 which is considerably lighter. cheers

    Will a F550 carry a NEX?

    Hi all In my efforts to work out a system for aerial still photography I am getting conflicting answers in regards to the 550. Some say its a not possible to use a NEX camera on the 550 due to weight whilst other sites are selling gimbals specifically for the NEX and the 550. I need real life...

    550 Pilot's lounge

    Hi thanks yes sorry budget around the 2000 UK ($3000) ish. I don't intend to shoot video so a simple 2 axis gimbal will be fine I think. GoPro is a no go for me as the still images are not good enough and there is no raw capability.

    My Dilemma - Vision to Vision + ?

    I have had my vision since November 13. After all the bugs , software, batteries etc etc it now functions perfectly as a flying machine and I have every confidence in it. Its running the latest software, waypoints work as they should. My dilemma. The camera on my Vision is just about acceptable...

    Increase aperture while shooting AKA Manual camera control?

    Re: Increase aperture while shooting AKA Manual camera contr There is no way to adjust the aperture on these cameras. 2.8 is what you get. Think low end point and shoot from a number of years ago and basically that is what the FC200 camera is. if you get a good camera/lens it's OK for small...
