    Metabones EF to MFT is here!

    Yeah, I had a big grin when I put my 35-105 f/4 and I could use it at f2.8. I think I'll go nuts tomorrow shooting some 4K with the Canon lenses and see how it looks.

    Where are you located? Sure looks like Malibu Lake. Loved the last shot. Well done.

    Interesting Article re use of UAVs

    I believe Old Man is correct, the battle will be lost before most are even aware of the fight. There is a lot of corporate pressure on the FAA to regulate out the competition in the sUAS market. At the moment the FAA is defining the battle "hobbyist vs commercial" and at the moment they have...

    FAA bans 'drones' on commercial farms

    Kloner, I think its great that your doing what your doing but look at all that you had to do and how long its taken just eight of you to get this far, now multiply that by, pick a number, 5,000, 10,000. I'm not saying that's my vision for the future, that's how it IS in GA so you don't have to...

    FAA bans 'drones' on commercial farms

    But they can't do the case by case thing. Whether the regulations are onerous for small business is a result of costs or limited access, it still means that they would be arbitrary and capricious. Technically if your a commercial pilot and want to operate a sUAS business today you'd qualify...

    Ronin Video at China Red Dragon Event

    I was looking at one and it is extremely heavy for what it does. When we used to develop software for film effects the challenge wasn't to be able to compete with a million dollar Flame, the real challenge was could you do the same quality effect on a much lesser computer for a third of the...

    Commercial UAS/UAV

    You might want to browse through this thread: http://www.multirotorforums.com/showthread.php?21420-Promoting-Commercial-sUAS There are so many of these sorts of sites popping up online, many are attorneys with lessor degrees trying to make a name for themselves, kind of like professors...

    Promoting Commercial sUAS.

    I spoke to one of the FAA pinheads today, there's a huge difference between what happened in Colorado and Camarillo. The Colorado event is supported by the FAA because it reenforces their interpretation of "Hobbyist," its really just the AMA and FAA sucking up to each other. We were shut down...

    Promoting Commercial sUAS.

    I think most commercial sUAS is done exactly that way, well below the radar but one thing I noticed trying to pull this together is that here in the US people are getting fed up to the point that they are willing to take this issue on publicly. The reason that's important is in part because...

    Three New Lawsuits Filed Against The FAA

    Couldn't happen to a nicer group of people. I doubt anyone at the FAA actually cares about any of this, its not like they'll lose their jobs or be held accountable. They will just claim that they are doing their jobs in the name of safeguarding the public interests. At least the public...

    Promoting Commercial sUAS.

    I guess the same right that says its legal if your one class of citizen [hobbyist], and illegal if your another [professional] because you some how profited from your involvement in sUAS. The interesting, and most frustrating thing about this experience is that it had nothing to do with flying...

    Promoting Commercial sUAS.

    I want to let you know what’s happened regarding the Camarillo Air Show and what I’m thinking about doing next. Last Thursday I flew at the media day event, went great, several journalists were interested in sUAS and mentioned it in their coverage of the show. Things seemed to be going well...

    XAircraft SuperX

    It seems as though XAircraft and the SuperX is going the way of the HFPro. Of coarse I have no idea where that is... Dows anyone know what's going on with XAircraft? I ordered a SuperX a month ago, no word. I had to file a dispute with PayPal.
