I have one and it's great, Just add a Rx and go fly. It has a nice App. for set-up and it is just impressive in both Acro mode and beginner mode. You can even record half decent video to a 32 gig card. They are however particular about using their own props. and 3 cell lipo. Hmm. Now I wonder...

How about a simple triangular circuit that is similar to FAI Pylon racing where speed is everything and flying tight to the pylons. Ten laps against the clock four machines in each race. If you cut the pylon you get a one lap penalty. An international standard length etc. etc. Maybe add a couple...

I love playing with different stuff, so, I will soon get my hands on one. Just started with a Scorpion 280 Sky Strider and a new Align MR25.

I had one of the first ones and only some people had this problem. It is a great little machine for the money. There are some complicated work arounds with button pulses that can trigger it into upload action, but I am quite happy with the way it is now. In comparison to the cost of the...

Mat I 've had one for a while now and it's been very good all round. The go-to machine when all else fails.... It has one problem though. it does not take the upgrades, I really don't mind that too much because it does what I need without the risk of fixing what aint broke.

GoPro cameras are made for a specific job. The lens is prefocused close-in to render objects such as a face sharp. They also require a very wide angle of view and the lens distortion is of secondary importance. That is not a good starting point for an AP camera.

I can't comment on the 6000 because I don't have one, but I do think that Sony have totally overtaken Canon and Nikon with a dedicated series of cameras that are specific to certain requirements.

@Bart I do believe that DJI have done a lot to embrace what has historically been a frustrating problem. Still needs some work though. Customer support from Align factory is non existent and relies on dealers and distributors who are left in the dark. It would seem that they are only interested...

I think that DJI may have an emerging competitor in Yuneec. They have some serious production and design facilities

You are right, there is more to discuss. It is a fact that the more motors you have the less efficient it is. The new technology in motor manufacture makes them very reliable. The only reason to have more motors is to lift more weight and that is something we don't need and should avoid now that...

Not everyone wants true cinematic performance but when you compare what is the industry standard in low light video cameras you have to say that the Sony 7s is probably the best you can buy. I would have to say that this video comparison shows that with the use of D-Log and FPC grading, the DJI...

Align was the hope that someone might be able to match the DJI dominance. They were not any better at resolving issues than the rest and the fact remains that delivering what they claim they have is a far cry from reality. One can get it to work, as I did, but stupid problems with simple stuff...

Mine is still going strong enough to risk it over the sea at night. All shot with the DJI Pro Camera

Thanks for the link Sleepy. My P3 is still going strong, I felt brave enough to let it loose over the sea at night...

I hear about flyaways but so far not seen any kind of malfunction. Probably those that have a problem have reset the function parameters
