    should I shoot video in manual focus?

    With the GH3 .mov is generally considered the best (or is that just me?). 72mb/s at 25fps offers the most info to work with in post.

    should I shoot video in manual focus?

    Manual focus is the common one to use. Or you can use single-shot-focus where it focuses once when you start recording and maintains that focus for the duration of the recording.

    Hi from Fort Saskatchewan Alberta Canada

    Hey Canada! Welcome to the forum. You've got some lovely scenery there! I've got friends in Saskatoon. Cold winters, eh? I would say 'if you need any help feel free to ask' but looking at your experience you'll be helping us! :nevreness:

    That was great! Really clever how they have floated it.

    fail safe binding

    Does your RTH activate in the assistant when you turn off the transmitter? Why did you think the connection 'went south?' I personally never initiate RTH by turning off the transmitter. That completely severs your link to the aircraft at a critical time. Did you have GPS lock (no red flashes)...

    Investigating a potential flip of death - S800 & A2

    Yeah, sounds like a motor/ESC failure. I've had that twitch before and then the ESC failed shortly afterwards. A 90° flip is quite a bit though! Mine wobbled 45° but once the motor stopped it was fine and I brought it home with 5 still running. Replace the suspect arm.

    GPS link lost mid flight

    Agree with above. Certainly sounds like a compass issue. I would say re-calibrate again. I had something like this when flying near a large magnetic source. Also affected the Zenmuse horizon. Re-calibration took care of it.

    CAA Information Notice - Future requirement for a safety case assessment

    Yes, 6.85kg to be exact! I'm constantly weighing it and seeing where I can lose a bit more weight. I need to shed another 50g if I want to put a GH4 on it. I got some digital fishing scales off of Amazon to weigh it, and some little digi scales to measure individual parts. Removing excess wires...

    CAA Information Notice - Future requirement for a safety case assessment

    I'm not sure to be honest. I'm still using my old faithful original S800 with Zenmuse and GH2. The footage still goes down well with producers and the like. Did another BBC series today and got some great stuff. Also got some footage airing on ITV this week. Dave's suggestion of a Y6, in my...

    DJI is going to release its DropSafe parachute system

    I know, right? Alot of this is just speculation by the sounds of it and may not come to pass. At least let's hope not!

    DJI is going to release its DropSafe parachute system

    Alas the last CAA release (paragraph 4.2 http://www.multirotorforums.com/showthread.php?20907-CAA-Information-Notice-Future-requirement-for-a-safety-case-assessment) makes a direct reference to these systems. I see France are considering these systems also. I also see it as another thing that...

    BMPCC, GH4, 5DmkIII, NEX7...did I miss any?

    Yes, get a DJI Zenmuse gimbal. They just work. Or the MOVI range which are brilliant and versatile. Or buy another gimbal, find it doesn't work and then buy another one...
