    Waypoints for seasonal Time Lapse

    I was mulling over new photography ideas and thought how good it would be if I could use my quad for seasonal landscape time lapse photography. I figure you would need to be able to preload a position, altitude and bearing into the app to get as close to the same photo each time you went out...

    Maiden Voyage

    A month in and I've taken it on holiday. After a successful but conservative first evening flight, the next day I decided to practice rotational panning. It's a little slow but with confidence..... http://vimeo.com/kestrelap/droningon

    satellites drop slightly when recording video - SOLVED

    If you follow my progress on this thread you'll notice that when I tucked the cable under AND added copper sheet I still had a drop. When I added aluminium AND wrapped the remaining exposed cable I negated the problem. So I'd suggest the solution is not the tucking under but either the...

    satellites drop slightly when recording video - SOLVED

    Wahhhheeyyyyyyy! Aluminium foil applied on top of copper and this time I bound the GPS cable too. Now I get no drop WHATSOEVER!!! I'm a VERY happy man and all this just before we go to the coast for a week.

    satellites drop slightly when recording video - SOLVED

    I've just tested my copper sheet solution and I'm a little disappointed. As illustrated in my previous screen shots, satellites were dropping by around 5 or so when the video was turned on. Now, with copper sheet shielding they are dropping by 2 or 3. OK, so it's an improvement, and tonight I...

    DroneExpert Improving GPS Signal Video

    First may I say that your English is far better than my second language by miles. But I had to lol at the accidental misuse of the word nonce. Nonce is most definitely best avoided in all its forms. Particularly in the UK at the moment as it seems we are having a nonce crackdown right now...

    How to get the DJI App on a Laptop

    I've just found a way to run the DJI app on a laptop (I'm sure some others are aware but I thought I'd share this anyway). Install BlueStacks (android emulator) and then use the Google Play store to download and install the DJI App. Now I (or more likely a helper who's concentrating on guiding...
