AustinC5 Which gimbal have you bought?

I have a thought that if it was me it would be best to just fly the machine first with perhaps a dummy weight on it to get the feel of things.

F5.6 is best stop due to diffraction in the lens.

Well done Chuck. Your replies reflect the realistic ways of the MR world. Also camera technology dictates the size now. I am sure that GoPro4 or in another year 5 will certainly satisfy most applications for most clients/users other than top end broadcast/movie production.

Excellent. Thanks to all who donated material and of course to the film editor for putting it together so well.

Thanks for this. It looks good and gives me confidence that investing in a CP has been worth it. Hope to get my DYS Smart in the air at the weekend if the mounting cases arrive in time.

Have you spoken to XProHeli? They have been very helpful when I bought their products.

Where is the link as I cannot see it on my ipad?

UAVshop.co.uk has them on their website - a very good company to deal with. (no connection)

Here is my first effort using F550 with AeroXcraft gimbal and GoPro3 Black on a very windy day. Not many shots used but useful for telling the story. https://vimeo.com/103799404 Sorry I do not know how to embed Vimeo.

The lack of communication from any company really signals that they do not care much for the customer. I was always taught that the cheapest way of getting business is referrals and repeat business.

"Some just like to post the footage without doing anything to it, which I hate! Some are very good at grading it and making it look splendid." I supply pictures to Broadcasters on a daily basis and BMPCC has not been a problem. Production haven't a clue but talk to the editor and all will be...

Regarding BMPCC versus GH4 shooting speeds it was just a thought to be able to slow things down if need be on a 25p timeline and retain the quality.

Thanks for the info Ben. By the way I have had my BMPCC since launch now at the new price it is a steal. Will talk to Martin as I buy all my DJI kit from him where possible.

I am thinking of S900 with BMPCC + Zen. Just waiting for BYOD to have that option. The BMPCC gives very good pictures and the steadiness of the Zen should mean that not having higher shooting speed like the GH4 will not be an issue.

At these prices the DJI crap back up can be solved by buying a couple of kits.

Something certainly wrong - GPS connection? My Super X typically locks up to GPS very quickly 2mins or less. A Naza V2 in the same location can take 5 minutes or not at all.

Quinton you are right. I bought a BMPCC but already had the lenses from my Panasonic AF100. The BMPCC has paid for itself many times over and is a very useful tool for many things. This new price makes running a proper Zenmuse a cheaper prospect.

Professional TV production kit needs good service - not a strong point of DJI. Would DJI understand that professional service turn round time should be measured in days rather than months, quarterly - never!

Does anyone know of any aerial video produced by a camera and gimbal mounted to a Cortex?
