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...

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...

Have any bugs surfaced with the Alta 8. I have heard rumours of a Flight Control issue.

Has anyone out there managed to get the AUX 1 output of the GCU to actually change the BMPCC aperture? The Z15-BMPCC differs from the GH3 and GH4 versions in that AUX 1 serves a purpose, it is 'reserved' on the others, but although the software assistant shows the three position switch...

It is time to reduce the number of idle aircraft sitting around here. This Droidworx AD-8 HLE is far and away the most consistent, reliable and predictable in the air of all the helicopters and Multirotors that I have or have had. It can be sold with whatever you would like, in terms of extras...

I am just giving an X-8 an overhaul and the question of rotation for upper and lower props came into my mind. It is currently set up as two independent quads with the lower quad rotated 90° so that each boom has a CW prop and a CCW prop. Theoretically this means that you can lose the entire top...

Sorry to bring out this old chestnut again. As eCalc becomes more sophisticated it now gives a 'coax' option, although I don't know how accurate the projections are with such a theoretic calculator. But it does calculate a considerable drop in overall lifting power for the coaxial 8 against the...

Has anyone ever customised a Z-15 BMPCC to supply 12v to the camera, instead of stopping everything every 15 minutes to remove the camera from the gimbal and replace its battery?

I have two identical EVO's. I upgraded the GPS puck to the new Pro Plus on only one EVO, just to make sure it all worked before upgrading the second. The first 'nuisance' with the Pro Plus is that you MUST update the firmware to v2.4. After fiddle-faddling about trying to remove the airport...

So is this Brave, Disastrous or Truthful marketing? "For Every Fearless Heart ... we protect your memories ocean deep"? To me this reads: "You'd better have bloody big balls to fly our Flight Control ... and don't worry when it flies off and crashes into the sea - at least you will have your...

Amidst the deafening silence from DJI, and in an effort to breathe some new life into the subject as the "A2 FC Firmware 2.3 - Here We ALL go Again" thread is not shedding any clear light on it all, perhaps we could try to assemble all the failure and crash reports into one place in order to try...

I have a brand new Blackmagic Pocket that has been sitting in its box for about six months now. Recently I have had time to charge the battery and get its firmware updated etc. and try it out. I can sling a video clip together like everyone else but certainly make no claims to being an editor...

I get confused with Co-Axial naming. If you have eight motors on a four boom airframe in a co-axial arrangement, i.e. four pointing up and four pointing down, is this an X4 or an X8? You see, part of the confusion comes out of good ol' Bart referring to his favourite "XY" airframe that combines...

Here we go again. Two days before leaving for a three month filming trip to Kenya I ordered and received the newly released Zenmuse-GH3. Guess what? It is faulty! The three-position Mode selection does not work, Reset only centers the Pan Axis and the 90° tilt function when in FPV Mode does...

Well is it, or isn't it? It was supposed to have started shipping two weeks ago. Anybody heard anything? Is there any substance to the rumour that delays have been caused by the BL motor supplier who backed out?

MK Okto with SLR2 mount, DW Extended gear, Hi-Viz Navigation LED's and Sony NEX 5n Not particularly sexy at any time, let alone in today's climate of moulded Phantoms, but an absolutely reliable and predictable flyer - plus, it can carry proper cameras, if you are turned off by the...
