    New iPad Pro 10.5"

    Yeah, that's what I was thinking, but it's another thing to remember in the kit bag! Be nice if you didn't need too

    New iPad Pro 10.5"

    Wonder if the new ipad pro 10.5" and will fit in the dji phantom controller. Looking at the specifications it's just 5mm wider as larger screen mainly takes up some original bezel. Hopefully, we can squeeze the new ipad into the grip.....

    Confusing dji article

    No idea if the P4P will get the new modes. I'm waiting on the ios version before the inevitable upgrade, but it seems like there is a feature for live NFZ for example if the police are dealing with an incident they can create an instant NFZ maybe?

    Water Recovery System

    Weight is around 300g all in with the current design. I may be able to reduce further too. I've done some tests on a phantom 3, but I've got a phantom 4 pro arriving this week. I want to test on the p4p with a new battery to give exact flight time loses, but I suspect it will be similar to...

    Water Recovery System

    Ha! No probs, more horizontal videos to come in the future! Will use the osmo. But only had the phone on me and wife was complaining about the cold, so was all a bit of a rush!

    Water Recovery System

    Nice idea, but unfortunately too heavy. Plus the sensor is attached to the inflatable bladder. I can't think of way of getting it to the end of the Y.

    Water Recovery System

    For the avoidance of doubt, this is quite different to the getterback. This activates instantly on water activation (and not by rain etc) and physically stops the drone sinking. The drone will be about 1ft below the water and attached to the buoy directly, and not 100ft on the end of a piece of...

    Water Recovery System

    It's the same technology as a lifejacket activator. So will not be set off by rain etc. Only by full immersion in water.

    Water Recovery System

    Thanks for the feedback and points noted. The getterback is great for a lake etc, and as long as it's not deeper than the cord. My system inflates on water contact and has a large buoy that can be seen from a greater distance, especially in waves on the sea. The drone is suspended below by only...

    Water Recovery System

    Hi everyone, I'm designing a water recovery system for both phantom and inspire models. Still at a prototype stage at the minute, but thought I'd share what I have done so far and to see if there is other pilots out there that might consider buying it if I can prove the design and get it...

    Flying without Permission UK Guidance

    I'm in the same boat as Sniper Bob, new to the hobby and digested the CAA drone code and reading the forums . I'd really appreciate some advice from experienced UK pilots on how they select their countryside flying locations and how best to get the land owners permission. Thanks
