Filmed mostly with GH3 on an S800 EVO with Z15.

Anyone tried it yet? The GH5 is bigger and 200g heavier than a GH4, so it would be a squeeze. But the biggest problem I see is the HDMI socket which has now changed - yet again - to a standard big fat one. If one could even find a right-angled HDMI to mini or micro adapter, I doubt there is...

Any Brits out there still reading these pages? I have just seen a report that Euro USC has lost its NQE (National Qualified Entity) status, which means that it can no longer offer qualifications accepted by the UK CAA. Having spent half a fortune in obtaining the BNUC-S and then renewing it...

Aha! A DJI customer.

Post 5: This is my conclusion after three or four days testing with A2 FW 2.7 I was satisfied enough with FW 2.4 and because there have been no issues have not connected the iPhone 5S for some time. I decided to do a system check and discovered that the DJI App no longer opened on my iPhone 5S...

Post 4: So the third day. Having sorted it all out - or so I thought - it was time to do some quick verification flights before all the gear is packed up ready for an international assignment and ... guess what ... the retracts were all screwed up again! The first clue is that they would not...

Post 3: Now this is weird. I spent three or four hours at the field yesterday flight testing the A2 FW v2.7 update. There were 'issues'. The retracts display in the DJI Assistant appeared to be reversed, i.e. when they were DOWN the Assistant displayed them as UP. This meant that the Gear...

I am going to consolidate my four posts concerning A2 firmware updates here and ask the Administrators to remove the other three. Post 2: Does anyone have, or know where to download, the DJI Assistant 1.6 software? I have had no complaints with firmware 2.4/assistant 1.4 and I have developed a...

Always have time for guitars, motorbikes and helicopters. Don't get excited about drones though!

Chris Darling! How the hell are you? What have you been up to? Are you still messing about with drones ... or have you finally come to your senses and discarded them for an uncomplicated life at a beach bar? I am still as stupid as ever, wading pointlessly through the mire of regulations...

Hi Rob, there are not that many folks on these forums that I have faith in, but you are one of the few that I do. The old X8 prop efficiency nugget ..... There are as many opinions as there are you-know-whats on this subject but the general consensus seems to be to either lower the gains of...

Hi, I have posted on the site asking whether or not the A2 v2.7 firmware can be trusted and whether or not there have been any reported 'incidents'. I'm in a bit of a hurry so I don't want to just wait until the right person happens to catch the post. I know you use the A2, have you stuck to an...

I have not upgraded A2 firmware from v2.4 because there has been no weird behaviour. The DJI Assistant iPhone app has also been a great tool in the field, eliminating the need to lug around a laptop. Everything has been wonderful. Until now. Thanks to bloody Apple and their obsessive preening...

With the Ronin-MX DJI has finally produced a RED/Alexa Mini capable gimbal with a drone friendly weight. But a couple of things are confusing me if anyone out there has the answers. I have not been able to get sensible answers from the dealer. The dealer claims that the MX is only compatible...

I was joking! As for the thread, as far as I am concerned the FAA, CAA, whateverAA can be as draconian as they like with their regulations. The stricter the better. I am far too pissed off with great unwashed masses of Johnny-Come-Lately 'Aerial Cinematography Experts' with their GoPro's and...

No, but the church might be guilty of infringing your copyright if they don't get permission to use it !!

The paragraph concerning 'Valuable Consideration' up to the crate of beer is taken straight from CAP 722. I don't see anything vague or questionable about it. If an operator is better off, either financially or in kind as a direct result of operating a SUA, it is considered commercial gain and...

Yes, Yes and, Yes it is. A flight is considered to be aerial work if it is undertaken for ‘valuable consideration’. Valuable consideration is defined as any gain you may make from the work undertaken. In even simpler terms: If, because of SUA flying, you are better off at the end of the day...

Haven't heard one of these stories where a catastrophic incident occurs after months of unremarkable operation for so long that it appeared as if the GPS Pro puck replacement programme might have settled the issue. Obviously not. You can try and glean something useful from the iOSD data but ...

Ah! there is a Z15-GH2 firmware update that let's it work with the A2 on FW v2.4. Duh.
