Perhaps a necessary treatment after the frontal lobotomy was performed.

I inadvertently addressed my reply to what I thought Mr MacCool was saying when I meant to address yourself Mr Drone Journey. As it is, I agree with what you were both posting and find it refreshing that a sensible conversion doesn't have to finish with a "mine's better than your's" aerial...

The focal length of the human eye is approx 22-24mm. Due to the curvature of the eye this equates to just over that of a 50mm lens on a full frame (35mm) camera sensor, to achieve the effect of the scale and geometry of how we perceive the world, although at a much narrower field of view. Given...

Is there a Parallax issue with the camera mounted on the P4? Compared to most Gopro footage it looks near perfect. If there is an issue it must be a pretty small divergence. If you're using stills to stitch together doesn't most software take this out anyway? And if not, I'm sure Photoshop (or...

I have never owned a grown up drone before, but the Mavic will be my first one. I get why you need to sell your P3 while you can still get a reasonable price for it, but these are still being marketed and sold as new in high street shops and online. I understand the obvious thing is that prices...

I understand what Mr MacCool meant with the desire some people have of wanting the next best thing when you already have a perfectly serviceable tool at your disposal. I thought his biggest gripe was owners assuming that the best "tool" is all you need to capture great footage, rather than...

I agree entirely with your approach to honing your photography/videography skill set. But if you have the opportunity to buy your first drone, whether that be for photographic related purposes or just the joy of flying, why wouldn't you want the latest technology to help you fly the thing safely...

That's an interesting opinion Kilrah, and you may possibly be right. I welcome the ability to have some control over focus adjustability, and consider this as a bonus. Given the Mavic seems to have ruffled a few feathers with some Phantom owners over the relatively small technical differences...

I stand corrected, although I thought there were videos of pre launch users of the Mavic saying the Android version had yet to be released. There are a lot of pdf help and tutorial files within the App I'd not seen before that make for good reading.

No, because there was no support for Android at all before as I understand.

Take your point gckless, we shall have to see what the final specification of the adjustable lens is and how it works out in the real world. What would be nice is a focus slider on the GUI that allowed you to alter the focus point from its current distance to infinity as slow as you want and in...

Thanks for the link darkneo

Auto focus would be a nightmare. Manual focus, could be really useful in establishing shots. An example my be to start with a close up of a sign or feature that describes the location you are at, either from the ground prior to take off or from a low hover at the start of your video sequence.

Thanks to all who replied so far.

Sorry wfrankn not sure what you mean "not the other way around". Probably me , but could you explain.
