Well, I can't say for Alaska but to clarify for those UK guys, 25mW is the legal limit here and there is no way round it, ham license or not.

And I thought I was the only one using APPs - good to know I'm not alone. APPs are the easiest and most resilient connectors in my mind. I've used them on my helis for years and they are just awesome. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Define affordable?

The problem with this method is that the salt can corrode the terminals before the cells are fully discharged. So, whilst it will often work well, it doesn't always. Also, if the terminals have corroded internally then doing a voltage check may well return 0v but inside there is still voltage in...

Been using 5.26 for some time now without issue. That's on my Skyjib flying anything from GH3s to Reds in winds from 0-20. In my mind this is now a well tested firmware and working great. A LOT better that the A2 at the mo (he says with a wry smile and cheeky chortle)!

The success of the Movi has delayed the Synapse. Last I heard was that it is still being devloped its just that I think Freefly understimated how much a success the Movi would be

Regulation doesn't mean banning though, or even preventing sensible use. Personally, I feel that the regulation we face in the UK is spot on. The CAA have taken a 'light touch' approach to it and this has enabled the start of many businesses in a manner that still protects the public's safety. I...

If pushing it as you say Tabb it brings to my mind the good old saying 'there are old pilots and there are bold pilots but there are very few old and bold pilots'

You are sort of right regarding the 400 ft for sub 7kg aircraft but the CAA's view is that if a sub 7 kg aircraft is above 400ft you are not in a position to maintain a direct unaided view of the aircraft principally because as you scan the sky it is difficult to re-acquire. So , 400ft limit...

It handles the SD feed perfectly. No complaints from me and far more importantly, from my clients either. Seriously, go for it, it is by far the best device for remote control and vid feed from a Canon.

I have been HUGELY impressed with the CAA's whole attitude to drones. Considering how much red tape could have been thrown our way given UK H&S attitudes etc. They have a genuinely forward thinking can do and enabling attitude. Such a refreshing change. I am also very glad that they are now...

Look at something called the CamRemote 2A pro. This takes the video feed from the USB cable and allows you to send it via SD 5.8Ghz and at the same time it allows you to remotely operate the camera. For Canon cameras, this remote really is the mutts nutts.

V V V happy with my 4010duos and the ESP120 PSUs I picked up off eBay for not a lot. They have been worked to death this year with out a single hitch. They are superb. Much easier to use than the Powerlab 8 and a better charger all round in my opinion but I haven't seen the latest Powerlab so am...

I have 2x 4010duos coupled to HP ESP120 PSUs. This is th mutts nutts. 4 ports and I charge a pair of 10a 6s batts on each port at 2c. Ding dong! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think these points only matter to the pilot rather than the client. I haven't bought either yet although I will v soon......

From a flying perspective the GH4 seems a no brainer due to size. But what about from the customer's perspective? Which of the two is the camera more likely to be asked for do you think?

Time to get ALL QE's (Qualified Entities) singing from the same song-sheet with one standard applied across the board. I thought RPAS were supposed to have 'manned equivalence' so where our our PPL CPL equivalents etc etc? With that the QE's would have no alternative but to stick to the same...

Lots of people will tell you that this TX is better than that TX. 50% of this is utter tosh. Why? Because 50% of what makes this TX better than that TX is ergonomics and only you can decide the better of them. Ideally, if you can, get to a hobby shop and get a physical hold of both TXs and...

Ill be testing the old GH2 gimbal with the GH4 when it comes out, I'll tell you then if it works or not- I will be pretty surprised if it doesn't
