Has anyone had any bad experience with this new release? I see that their web site has deleted several options, and now only offer the complete package with the I-Look camera. I see a few problems relating to firmware on Youtube plus several crashes. It seemed like the best option would...

Walkera have been around making some good cheap stuff for a while now. When seeing how some of their stuff appears under a rebadged name one starts to ask the question of who is actually making stuff for DJI also. An interesting fact is that the H500 is reportedly using AMP 3.1.5 firmware. I...

It would seem that the traditional config. is to have top motors all running anti-clockwise and the bottom ones all running the opposite way. As I didn't have enough top props to run my test, I thought why not remap the motor channels so that one can use two sets of standard Quad props. By...

I am please to say that I was one of the winners and would like to thank DJI for creating the facebook community and for the enormous contribution that they have made to AP around the world. Also special thanks to Adobe for their support. They have also come onboard with some nice Photoshop...

Actually it is no contest because even with the upcoming new generation of motors they will not cut the mustard against the motion control de rigueur solution for mil spec. gimbal control. The VCA comes in many different forms and you will find them inside of camera lenses and even Hard Drives...

When the Russians in Limassol throw a party they do it in style. An empty car park on the seafront and a couple of million euros and you get 30 days of xmass entertainment. Shot with a standard Phantom Vision-2 plus a stage GoPro and a 5D/85/1.2 for the main stage also a iphone 4S:tennis:

Whilst waiting for some decent weather to come my way I have been running the test rig on a few motors ESC's and prop's. Without going into a lot of data that nobody really cares about anyway. Here is my results based on a Phantom operation. On the sampled standard motor I was please to see that...

Shame about the VO but this looks like a good cheap GoPro rip off. 200 euros ish....:tennis:

After an hours drive to shoot a small job I was somewhat surprised when one of my Phantoms started playing up. At first it would not arm and then finally the motors started and I lifted off. However when I tried to go back or forward, or Left or Right, no response at all. All it would do is go...

I have come to think that Youtube generally has a better quality playback than Vimeo but the compression that you use to upload the footage seems to vary from one product to the next. Sorensen Squeeze-9 is generally regarded as the industry best and it's presets are a little different to most...

In Adobe TV there is a tutorial from Russell Preston from Adobe using a Phantom Vision It is a complicated procedure that is made a lot easier if you change the camera lens but it shows the basic way to get the job done using CC.:tennis...

Yep it's true, I spent 4 hours at the local Girne Police HQ while they made enquiries. Turned out that I was in the clear with my permissions but it also turned out that one of my competitors had tried to pull a stunt. I had to fight to get back my camera cards as well. At least I didn't get to...

We have come to regard the traditional Lipo battery as the standard go-to power supply. But if you look around at how electric vehicles are developing it is lithium ion technology that rules. the advantages of lipos are that they can easily be manufactured in almost any physical shape but not...

The final conclusion is that the Phantom really needs a third pan axis. This 2.7 K footage has no post stab. but shows some unwanted pan movements when not in perfectly calm conditions. The only thing changed was the saturation which was given a slight increase as vimeo tends to flatten the...

Officially announced but not yet shipping...

I finally decided that I would buy one to play around with and got the latest stuff. So anybody else done the upgrade as I am not sure about a couple of things. With the old board you had to have a GCU V1 hub to run the H3-2D. But the upgrade board has ports for the gimbal and the Video output...

I think I just might build one like this..... :tennis:

Some very useful features such as fisheye eliminator
