Useful, thank you.

Shutter cable http://www.gentles.ltd.uk/gentwire/focus.htm?filter=gh4 I've just bought one of these. Works well and delivery was extremely quick.

You may be correct, my opinion was based on experience with tail rotor gyros on helicopters. My assumption was that the Flight Controller would fight what it senses as an opposite input. It may be that DJI sensors are smarter than I thought.

Only if you want to fight with the flight controller!

Weather has allowed me one 10 minute flight with the 25mm lens. It certainly highlights any movement! The Movi 10 has only had a very basic setup so early days, but I can see that a longer focal length presents challenges.

I don't think that it will be an issue, the Leica only goes down to f16 anyway. With the crop factor of the sensor, I am expecting adequate D of F at that.

The mobile phone solution, perhaps on speaker phone or Bluetooth is the easiest solution. Short of installing a 4 wire, the only alternative is a speak to transmit system. Stick with the phone!

True, those pesky circles of confusion:( I've bought the Summilux as, a, Couldn't find an Olympus for sale and b, It gets dark in Northumberland this time of year;) Will let you know how I get on.

First piccie;

Ah, manual focus only, still worth a look though!

f22, I need a large D of F. Be interested in your findings.

Good call, thanks. f22 as well! On to it. Cheers.

Thanks, yes it is slightly tight for standard. I will be filming horses which is why I would like to give myself some distance. The camera shake issue is one of the reasons I was hoping to hear of any experience using longer lenses on multicopters. The only disadvantage of the Leica I can see is...

I have bought a GH4 on advice from several members. I am considering a 25mm (standard) lens. I want a fairly wide shot but need to be around 50 metres away for noise reasons. Any experience of this one?

That was exactly my conclusion! I'm not convinced that he was aware he was in manual, there was certainly no need to be. Not sure that Naza is ideally suited to larger multicopters either.

Thanks to everyone on here for such good help and advice. Next week will see the arrival of our Heliguy Ikarus Octo. and Movi10. I intend getting a few hours in before fitting a camera which is going to be a Flare initially. We are going to use a prime 'standard' lens until we have solved all...

If 200mw is not giving sufficient range, just upping the power is not only masking the problem but possibly creating more issues. I would check your antennas and make sure your channel's match.

A quick update: we have been offered a Teradek Bolt to test. It's spec is very similar to the Paralinx Tomahawk. Camera wise, we have discovered some Sony FS700s doing nothing so are considering using one. The advantage is that zoom control would be easy to sort out using...

The reason for us is to input into a live broadcast either via satellite or fibre. Remote focus zoom are also a challenge. The only established method seen so far is via a Lanc.
