The real kudos needs to go to Clay Porter. He is a truly brilliant film maker. This was the first time he's had an extended exposure to multirotors and he seems to have enjoyed the experience. A different perspective I guess. We were pleased with just how many aerial shots he used to emphasise...

thanks alot. It was an exceptional shoot! the only time it has ever been relatively calm there & we had 2 days straight of it! Lec

REDBULL Four by Three series finale. Just seen the results a a couple of days in wales last month working with some good friends. I'm quietly pleased! All aerial work supplied in 1080/50 and integrated into RED epic footage @ 24p. Can't wait for next year. Shot on ADX3 Y6...

Interesting ... is it just us or is this a more widespread problem. A lot of MK systems are getting a little aged now, I wonder if it's a late life problem. If so, it does point to possible static damage during construction. As you say, it's an awkward problem and catch anyone out at any time.

TO all the mods , thanks for keeping on top of things. andy

We always use Active for maximum stabilisation. Standard is only any use when zoomed wide. Active employs BOSS to the maximum. andy

It was a sony Cx730 but depending on your location it may go under a variety of different model numbers. Lec

Just in time to balance the sensationalist BBC broadcast posted by others today comes a far more rational article in New Scientist UK, out today. Nice read but not too groundbreaking. Unfortunately it is not yet available on line. I expect the regional versions of New Scientist will carry to...

Andrewrob... It was also on News Night and had the same 'expert' discussing things. There is a simple solution to 'privacy' worries, If the CAA asked for a privacy statement to be included in your ops manual then it would be a condition of retaining your permission to operate. Overstep the mark...

Yep hence the argument I had with the senior supervisor of an airline who insisted that the batteries I was travelling with should be checking in for the hold. It took him phoning Heathrow to check. His sheepish look when he told me i was correct was very satisfying! Security was yet another...

the real reason was we had quite literally ran out of things to shoot. even the pot of jam purchased earlier in the day was sacrificed. we hadn't even opened it! The lipo was defiantly the most fun though. Lec

But this was much more fun! Lec

What do you do when that long serving faithful old LiPo comes to the end of it's working days ? It was either put it out to pasture or this ....... Unfortunately it was a long slow death. Lec

Yes, that was us. It was done a little while ago and we hope its done Geoff at Quadcopters a lot of good. cheers andy & lec

Its an offshoot of this group, http://www.uavs.org/ . A talking shop for the big guys, probably does involve secret handshakes and toasting the chairman. A bit too serious for us AP guys, if they talked of fly-ins and workshops it would probably look less clinical. Sort of suspect they were...

So trousers not so brown after all. Bit brave flying from tarmac but excellent job done. andy

At the wide end of the zoom range the depth of field will bring dust on the lens almost into focus so check the lens is spotless. Also check any filter you may have fitted. andy

Ovdt ... I too have travelled by air a lot and never knowingly had problems due to Xrays on everyday electronic items or specialised electronic pcbs but I've always had a little mistrust of the machines and their operators. Their job is to make sure nothing untoward gets on an airliner, if this...
