    Another CAA Conviction in the UK

    What makes you think that Ben? I thought there was a big debate regarding RPAS in the houses of parliament to enforce regulation not lessen it, having said that you are right in that anyone working for professional broadcast production companies will find they will always be looking for those...

    Another CAA Conviction in the UK

    Some of the companies I have seen operating are not small organizations and are charging good money for the service, the problem is they offer aerial photo/video as an addition to the service they already provide and simply don't know or even realise that regulations exist, I imagine that some...

    Another CAA Conviction in the UK

    There should be a system in place where we can forward details to the CAA of operations that take place without a PFAW, I have now seen a number of operators advertising aerial services/operating without a PFAW and wouldn't hesitate to make the authorities aware of them. Having said that you...

    Mistletoe drone launched at TGIF - UK

    I suspect this is nothing more than a "viral" and it's working, here we are talking about it sharing the video. Nothing more than marketing campaign with a room full of actors pretending to be TGI diners I guess.

    Best video ever made with S1000

    OK Go - I Won't Let You Down - Official Video: http://youtu.be/u1ZB_rGFyeU Very clever video indeed, this will have you thinking. the drone is a DJI S1000, Zenmuse Z15 gimbal and GH4, piloting skills are good but the really clever bit was the transition from inside to out. They used a ride-on...

    Beautiful Scotland - My Aerial showreel

    "Go pro 3+ black is 30% sharper than its previous model" that's what Go pro claim however it's focus is optimised at 5 mitres. If you look close you will see infinity slightly off, if you Google Go pro lens focus mod you will find several how to videos on YouTube. You need too be a bit brave to...

    Beautiful Scotland - My Aerial showreel

    Stunning imagery and we'll put together. I totally agree with you about the GoPro 3+ it's an amazing camera and to be honest if you shoot in protune raw with the right grading you could tell anyone it was shot with a GH4 and I bet they'd believe you. Did you do the lens mod to improve focus on...

    should I shoot video in manual focus?

    You should always set manual focus and for most aerial shots this will be set at infinity however the problem you are experiencing when panning etc is more likely to be due to the compression used in AVCHD recordings. The critical issue is how much of the frame changes between frames (ie when...

    CAA Information Notice - Future requirement for a safety case assessment

    OK I'm off to the city, it's funny because I have only just received our renewal for permission and I noted that under the conditions "over or within 150m of a congested area" is not listed.

    CAA Information Notice - Future requirement for a safety case assessment

    So, I'd like to bet its going to be £2k a year to get your airframe checked? On a more serious note, they do seem to add confusion to the regulations, at 3.2 they say "SUA/SUSA of 7 kg or less, are able to fly over or within 150 m of any congested area, however all of the other restrictions...
