I would say that 3.2 is a big improvement over previous versions of code. And the APM mission planner2 is awesome. My DJI stuff is the go to for easy results but for more challenging stuff like mapping and way points APM 3.2 is way ahead now. It also seems reliable. But if you want to get out...

The fact remains that all of the 3DR codes have a very long list of revisions that address a great many problems. Problems that invariably result in a crash. At the end of the day the problems seem to get worse as the complexity gets greater. Maybe someone needs to step back and fixed the basics...

Has anyone had any bad experience with this new release? I see that their web site has deleted several options, and now only offer the complete package with the I-Look camera. I see a few problems relating to firmware on Youtube plus several crashes. It seemed like the best option would...

In my experience the biggest influence on model stabilisation comes from the secondary mass movement. i.e. the gimbal assy. There is no point in discussing frequency filtering because that equates to a reduction in the sensor output and the frequency is so slow that you won't have any sensible...

Walkera have been around making some good cheap stuff for a while now. When seeing how some of their stuff appears under a rebadged name one starts to ask the question of who is actually making stuff for DJI also. An interesting fact is that the H500 is reportedly using AMP 3.1.5 firmware. I...

Not a Phantom - smaller, more powerful, more stability less weight. Mostly DJI components.

Ed here's one I did this week with a standard Phantom Vision + it is edited in FCP with fish eye removal from FCP effects.com The internal shots are also shot with the phantom being carried by hand. I shot four other golf courses this week using just this piece of kit. it saves a lot of time...

Kopterworx is one of the best that I have dealt with. Very reliable and usually a fast service. I once ordered an item that was showing on stock. and it turned out their stock was incorrectly labeled from a supplier which they spotted before sending it. So Matjaz even offered to take the part I...

I have just tried the new Sony Action Cam, Good image quality and stabilisation but again too much distortion around the sides. No live view apart from the limited range WiFi.(30 feet). I have yet to find out if the Mini HDMI output is live view or just playback. They don't say, but I found a...

Actually you don't even have to hit the ground to die. About twelve years ago my good friend, who was probably the number one aerial filming pilot in the world (Denis Kenyon), he had three Schwitzers and had just taught his son to fly. One crashed at Shoreham Airport and the other killed his...

Decathlon is a nice little aeroplane to learn your basic skills and get into some Aeros. Not exactly a Extra 300 but could make a pilot out of you very quickly compared to a 150. As an instructor you can earn about three times as much on helicopters. But when that means flying a R22 you may...

Choosing an instructor needs a little careful thought, There are basically two kinds, There is the pro who could also be the CFI and there are the hour builders who simply are there to get an airline minimum acceptance number. You could find yourself with someone who has probably less than 200...
