    Hooray my P3A footage was shown on UK channel 5 last night!

    It was episode 3 of "Building Britain’s Canals". Building Britain's Canals - Channel 5 Which has clips from 3 of my YouTube videos: Very exciting as my videos don't get very many views [emoji1] [emoji7]

    Commercial aerial photography in the UK

    Thinking about doing the CAA course in the UK so I can fly commercially. If I offer an aerial photo service to customers am I actually going to be able to generally do this within the CAA rules in urban areas?

    Double annoying: eglobalcentral have shipped from China, so will take a while to arrive. This wasn't made clear on their website and doesn't match what the OP said in post #1.

    Looks like free shipping too. Could have saved £10.65 :(

    £13 shipping - wasn't expecting that! Doesn't look quite such a good bargain now. £88.64 total. Handtec ones are out of stock and would be £82.50 including delivery. Tried online chat with them and they don't know when stock is coming back. Oh well, for the sake of £6, going to go for it.

    Answered my own question. It's next to a green light. Not where some places on the internet said it was! Photo attached in case anyone else struggles with this.

    Cannot link P3A to controller

    Just had my P3A back from DJI for shell repair and it won't link to the controller. I had a look for a linking button on the Phantom but it's not there. Any ideas? Hopefully I'm doing something stupid and DJI haven't done something stupid.

    P3A arrived back this morning at 10:42 via UPS. I had left an instruction (via UPS site) for them to leave it on the doorstep but they knocked anyway. The shell looks new. Small mark (which wiped off) where they pushed the shell in near the battery holder. Gimble clamp was on fine. It's my...
