    L-O-N-G Time Since Last Updates - Now What?

    Something that concerns me about NFZs. In New Zealand we can fly close to airports etc if we follow "Shielded operation conditions". This requires you to fly within 100m of any natural or man made object but no higher than that object. So how does DJI know what I'm doing. I fly a lot in a...

    Birds curious about P3

    My P3P was recently dive bombed by a very large seagull. I brought my phantom down after some scary evasive flying However about a metre off the ground in our back yard it swooped down and just missed. It wasn't even scarred of me. I'm thinking either territorial or nesting. This gull was...

    CAA updates drone guidelines

    Yep ask any council here for permission to fly and they won't have a clue what you are on about. Wait until they catch on and allow it. There will be registers, licences and obviously costs. $$$$$ Raaaaa

    Negative attitudes to drone photography?

    I've had some people come up to me concerned with their perception of privacy. Most are really interested though. I tell them there is more chance of hearing a drone outside your bedroom window than some weirdo in the bushes with a camera. It's not illegal to take pix with your phone in...
