    Simplistic overview

    Hi all Apologies as I realise the reply to my question will be easily available here but I am debating whether to buy (mad impluse) a Mavic Pro and a pair of Goggles in two hours time to take on holiday with me. How easy will it be to control the Mavic Pro using just the Goggles and the...

    Latest UK geofencing stuff

    Apologies for asking this as there is no doubt loads of info on here but I am debating whether to buy a Mavic Pro first thing in the morning before we go on our holidays (mad impulse buy !) and have no time for research. When I had my Phantom 1 ages ago there was no geofencing but now am I...

    Your Maximum Altitude

    As the original poster I feel inclined to comment. Although I agree that flying irresponsibly high is just downright stupid and may cause all of us problems and then furthermore boasting about it and posting evidence is just crazy I do think that threads like this are positive as it alerts...

    My solution to the RX100 photography problem

    Thanks for posting such an easy to understand description of how you mount the rx :) The weather seems to be doing crazy things everywhere - i have just returned from a week in Scotland and during the whole week we had only a couple of hours when flying would be even possible and at that time...

    Phantom 2 + Dronexpert RX100 kit + DJI iOSD-mini

    Everything going OK Peter ? The thread is devoid of any new photos ;) Anyway, the main reason for posting is that Sony have just released the RX100 iii which looks gorgeous but at £800 it should be ! Also Nikon have got into the act with their own little gem (want one :))...

    Drone Expert Sony Mount

    The guy that has used it is called Peter Evans and he has reviewed it on his blog (he thought it was fairly crap) http://www.peter-evans-photographer.com/blog A couple of points of interest; The mount was removed from sale on the DE site but now it is back again so maybe they have improved it...

    A heads up for UK pilots

    There should be a country specific guidance note put in the retail packaging outlining what is legal/illegal & sensible/foolish. To be honest I am suprised the retailers do not do this already as there could be liability attached to them should an accident happen with a product they sell.

    3rd phantom crashed when doing the same thing

    Also have to be careful which direction you go whilst descending as it will not improve matters if you fly with the wind as you will still be in your own prop wash. The best way I have found is to flip into ATTI for a few moments to show which way the wind is blowing (it may be different aloft)...

    Thanks for your reply :) As well as your link it maybe an idea for one of Pull_Up's video guides (he may have already done one and I have missed it).
