    Here's our latest reel if you are interested. http://javapost.ca/work/item?id=200 We are selling our brand new Freefly Alta with H16 gimbal and lots of other accessories if anyone is interested. We've only flown it 4 times, so it's brand new.

    Freefly Alta was recalled... Anyone see this???

    I'm probably going to purchase an Alta and will be using a Gremsy H16 and Raven camera. We're now shooting a lot of feature films and the old GH4 doesn't quite cut it anymore. The image is great but everyone wants at least 4K raw. 8 bit 4-2-0 is a bit of compromise. Anyway, you mention U1. What...

    Sorry for the typo, first sentence should have said, "and sales".

    How to get telemetry data mixed with HD video

    I sent a message to support and sLes and heard back almost immediately. Also filed a feature request. I was told that they were definite working on this but for the purposes of business, they could not give me or guarantee any date. Good news is that it sounds like it's just a firmware update...

    How to get telemetry data mixed with HD video

    Oh man, that's great news. I must admit, it's the one thing we didn't think of. Glad to hear they are good to deal with. That's a huge factor these days with suppliers, manufacturers who are difficult to deal with after you get their product.

    How to get telemetry data mixed with HD video

    We have built a system capable of heavy payload aerial photography, Epic, Black Magic, etc, using a Kraken K130 copter along with a Gremsey H14 Gimbal. We have purchased two Connex HD systems. That's the only way for a pilot and gimbal op can have their own feed, unlike light bridge which...

    GH4 + Z15 Can I use a different lens than 12mm? ND filter?

    We can swap in the 14mm but the 20 doesn't balance well enough. We have a Gremsy gimbal arriving next week so will try and move away from the DJI gimbals if we can get better performance.

    INSPIRE 1 Firmware Version (V1.2.1.03) Update Notice

    I can confirm a battery drop situation. We were flying over water and had 30% when the battery dropped to 7%. I was able to make it to shore. We always fully charge batteries but this was our second location and had already used 70% of the battery. We should have had plenty of power for the shot...

    Looking for advice: gimbal with 2,5kg payload

    I contacted Gremsy today about video through. How does it work on these gimbals? On the DJI gimbals you have brushless slip rings for video to pass through without a cable. Upon asking the question the first time I got a message from their support that video systems of most kind can be used...

    Looking for advice: gimbal with 2,5kg payload

    I suppose you're right. I guess I'm seeing some really good gimbals coming out that are half the price of the Movi and want to explore. We are pretty happy with our Ronin for handheld camera and don't really want to lose it to the aerial team, but you have got me thinking about just laying down...

    GH4 + Z15 Can I use a different lens than 12mm? ND filter?

    I too want to run a 20 or 25mm lens on this gimbal. We are going to try removing the face plate so the camera simply sits on the base plate and see if we can balance the 20mm lens. With the older Zenmuse we could run the 14 and 20mm lenses and are disappointed that we can only run the 12mm...

    Looking for advice: gimbal with 2,5kg payload

    I too am interested in the current best gimbals out there. I would prefer to have a gimbal capable of about 5 kg so we can carry Epic with a lens when necessary. The suggestions above are for smaller units. We own a Ronin but have not flown it yet. Wondering if there is better gimbal...

    DJI Phantom No Fly Zones

    Yes, it looks like we need to be at 2.0. I found the assistant on a German copter site last night. We're going to try and do this today. I'll post results.

    DJI Phantom No Fly Zones

    Ah, yes, Fox news, the Micky Mouse of journalism in the world. The same news gathering agency that told us Amazon would be delivering all their products utilizing autonomous drones early next year. If you want all the hype about drones, just keep watching Fox. We all know there are tons of...

    DJI Phantom No Fly Zones

    Hey, thanks for the speedy response. I was wondering the same, just dropping a Naza V2 into it. Do you have the older version 2 assistant software? I think we need that to try and install older firmware.

    DJI Phantom No Fly Zones

    I did a search for this topic and was surprised to not find any other discussion, so thought I'd start a new topic. We run an aerial photography division with several UAVs. I am a certified UAV pilot and we hold a Transport Canada blanket license for UAV operation, including ATC control zones...

    S800 oscillating flip

    Mike: We do mainly aerial photography using a Panasonic GH4. The 4K image is desirable for many of the projects we shoot. If you get chance, check out our web site at www.javapost.ca. We have shot for a few feature films, television series, many commercials, tourism, real estate, oil and...

    S800 oscillating flip

    Mike: We never did figure out the problem other than our S800 was totally worn out. The motors started sounding awful, we began having power management issues, where the OSD reported batteries going from 25.3 volts to 22 almost immediately after lift off, reducing flying times to about 2...
