    New Speed Record (for me, at least!)

    I've been struggling to break 50 mph but managed it the other day. Same flight, moderate tail wind 51.8 in sport mode, 54.8 in Atti mode. Not a world record but it made me feel good.

    Why is my youtube video jerky?

    Yes, that's exactly what I mean, weird. The original video is absolutely flawless on my laptop, as are the edits I've taken from it. Just the uploaded vid does that weird cyclic hiccuping thing. :confused:

    Why is my youtube video jerky?

    I did click on the fix thing but like you I wasn't happy so reverted to the original. I still got the stuttering though, especially past the arch on the beach so I uploaded another version of the same video and it still stutters? When four people from across the world tell me it looks good on...

    Why is my youtube video jerky?

    Hi guys. Anybody know why this video is jerky after uploading to youtube. The original is super smooth. I've tried various configurations of quality and video size but whatever I do it comes out stuttering. As I said, the original video and the post production videos are fine, it's only the...

    Phantom 4 or wait

    I posted a video to youtube Today. It's not great, the subject matter ( a beach ) has been posted thousands of times, the quality and composition are mediocre because I'm not very skilled at editing or finding interesting subject matter, but.... The only reason my videos are just 'alright' is...

    So who's dumping their P4 for Mavic?

    I will probably get a Mavic at some stage. It is, without question, a fantastic move forward in drone technology/portability. However, first on my personal 'must have list', is the best image quality I can afford, followed by all the other features. Frankly, and rather disappointingly, the...

    Thoughts on GoPro Karma?

    I jumped at the P4 and got lucky, mine has been faultless. This time however, I shall act my age and wait until the Karma and mavic have been tested and appraised back to back. I like the look of the Karma for sure and the lack of features doesn't bother me as I rarely fly out beyond 1km, don't...

    P4 5 times more stable than its predecessor

    In a less than intelligent moment, I wondered if it was possible to fly two drones with one pilot, so I gave it a go the other day. I put the P4 in the air filming, and flew my P1 around. Ready to pick up the P4 controller at any moment should the need arise but it never happened. The p4 stayed...

    Cheap backpacks fit P4 packing foam

    The foam box that comes with the P4 fits into most P3 backpacks if you take out the original P3 foam. Perfect fit and zero dollars cost for me.

    How far should I fly away to still feel confident?

    I really don't get your point, you have linked me to the same site I linked you to. It clearly states on your own link.... have consent from anyone you want to fly above have the consent of the property owner or person in charge of the area you are wanting to fly above. We have hijacked...
