I was just thinking of this yesterday when I was watching a video of a shoreline with many hundreds of sea lions and penguins. They looked stressed :( I don't even fly close to a horse barn that is local to my test field, out of consideration for the animals.

Somebody please start a new thread on this.. This is far too important a topic to be buried

Great discussion. I agree with all posters and will add that with more/smaller batts you can use them on your smaller beater drones too :)

I've noticed this as well. The word drone appears to be more and more related to aerial photography etc. Let's all drone on then! :) PS: Drone UAV ...

I dunno, this is one of the best mr forums around in my opinion. Not over run with trolls etc. Be careful of what we wish for.. Maybe a sleepy corner with mostly Pros ain't so bad ;)

I've had my eye on this one for a while. But the $4600 Canadian dollars price tag then lenses... Ack! And batteries are like $65 CAD as well. And with insurance companies shying away from insuring multirotors... On the up side there will be glut of cheap used A7s out there soon ;)

Yes hard, completely rigid, mounting while tuning and PERFECT balance, especially on the yaw axis is absolutely required. For balance the camera must sit in any position you put it in even while moving the gimbal. If it sits there perfectly, and can be moved by blowing on it, or setting a dime...

A good tip for drying out electronics is to put them in some uncooked rice. The rice will draw the moisture out and absorb it.

Sounds like the 5D is coming out of live view mode after the photo? You'll only get video out while in live view.

That's great news PT. I have my second Taranis now and have switched my machine and gimbal over to X8R's. All tested for range and reliability. Over the next few days I'll get the module in and tackle that programming. Did you figure out your landing gear issue?

Hahahah, you would probably be arrested for some of those shots here in North America ;)

Gentesled or whatever their name is has a remote that should interface with the Sony rx100 mk4 camera, so we could always start / stop recording remotely. I'm looking at this camera myself and thought that remote control would be a good workaround for the 5 min limit ;)

For flying my 5D I'm using a modified version of this gimbal http://www.uavmediapros.com/product/bg003-pro-famoushobby-dslr-3-axis-brushless-gimbal-canon-5d/ with a Phobotic Centerpiece controller: http://www.uavmediapros.com/product/centerpiece-brushless-gimbal-controller/ Please note I am a...

All very good replies. I'm learning too. I didn't realize that we can get NEX's that cheap for instance. A very crashable price indeed! thanks for the tip Hexa. I'd like to toss out another option for a budding filmmaker would be the Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera. OH and a revision to...
