    LITCHI crashed my drone!!!!

    You may feel that the rules are too strict. But had you been flying within 500 meters distance . Under 499 ft in height, within VLOS, if something went wrong , you would have been able to do something about it. If you crash you could crash on someone. Or something that will cause damage or...

    LITCHI crashed my drone!!!!

    There is a reason why there is P mode. It makes it easier and safer. There is a reason why the flight rules state 400 met high 500 m distance as a MAX and always in VLOS. That reason is so you can control your drone and keep it. Also flying over populated areas increase the likely hood of...

    Advice to buy a DJI drone for 1000m high or higher?

    As far as I am aware there isn’t anywhere in the world where you can fly that high. definitely in the U.K. you are limited to 400ft. Any more is illegal. And for those of us who have to forgo the pleasures of free flight and jump through hoops in order to fly at all. Will not be too keen to see...

    Flying at Night?

    It depends where you are.. In the U.K. it is illegal. But elsewhere it may be fine. Although after “Gatwick” I wouldn’t be too keen to attempt it either

    That is why you had to spend £400 on a mounting, and a gimble, for your GoPro .

    mounting a Nikon J1 to Phantom 3?

    To be honest, I can’t help but think that a D.S.L.R. would be a little.... ambitious.

    Flying over fields

    You have to stay 50 meters (150 ft) away from buildings. But you can overfly private property ( except national trust who make their own laws without the aid of a parliament). But you REALLY did the right thing. We have enough problems already, without adding mouthy and argumentative to the...

    Just a quickie

    If you go onto my you tube account (Please do, you are very welcome) you will see that I posted a previous effort 2 months ago. NOW I have a zenmuse. It does a whole lot. The new slide show is now up. I re-visited Charlwood to test the new kit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNCWVbuwFno

    Phantom 1.1.1 prop balancing

    I think the original question was ... How do you balance the DJI provided props. I would love to know myself. SO FAR the DJI props that I have had have been pretty close. BUT that's not to say that I have SO FAR been lucky. Or that with a little ware and tare they may need attention in the...

    Best Battery?

    To be honest I use the stock battery and it is fine. I also use other 11.1 3cell LiPos which I use in my 450 helis and all work well. I only fly for 4 to 5 mins at a time so as not to over drain the battery and as long as I plan my shots and take a load of batteries with me I have no probs. It...

    Battery Charger ?

    Hi all. I have a Sigma EQ II Battery charger (The Ali one). Recently the cooling fan stopped working, and I have sent it back under guarantee to be fixed. This left me sans battery charger. Now I needed an extra one anyway. So, while I was there I bought the Sigma EQ ECO 50 Watt (The matt...

    New Phantom V1.1.1

    Just a quickie ref V nos. and what the new V2 will/will not be. The new Vision is shipped in a box marked "PHANTOM 2 VISION" it is therefore reasonable to presume that it is just V2 with a camera therefore the V2 will be a "VISION" without a camera. Hope that helps.. Watch...
