    Align M690

    Are you going single or dual controller? It sounds like single. I may look in to the GoPro4 as an upgrade for the P2, but I definitely need something that can carry a better respected camera as well. Since I have both the 5D3 and GH4 the Align seems the better option, assuming it's not...

    Align M690

    Zaxxon, thanks for all the pictures. Do you have it flying yet -- or -- when do you expect to have it flying? What is the software like? I'm still holding off a purchase of either the M690 or the S900 until we can get some more info and sample footage from M690 flights. Also, it sounds...

    Align M690

    Let us know more! I'm holding off buying anything until we get some real world reviews of the M690. I'll need to add it to my Ops Manual too, so I'm really interested in weights etc, then like you have this carry the GH4 / 5D and the little Phantom a GoPro4.

    Autocar admits to commercial flying while unlicensed

    The problem is that they used the word 'technically'. Leave out that word and we'd all be assuming they were in compliance. Add the word in and it introduces enough doubts, including suggesting to readers that they too could get away with using them without a 'license' because while you...

    I may just have to pop over and see you when this arrives ;)

    Forgive me if I seem blind - but I can't find any weight specs. Does anyone have a link?

    I hate to be the first/early adopter of anything but this is looking really interesting.

    S900 Owner's Thread and Mini Build Log

    Anyone in the north of England with a S900? I'd love to come visit and see it fly, especially with a GH4.... otherwise I may have to turn up at Ben's door one day !

    ShackFlyer - where did you find this? IS there any more information, such as AUW and flight times, and more specifically availability?

    The ALL New DJI S900 Hexacopter!

    Thanks. Pls keep us up to date with flight times too. I'm holding off because I'm hoping we're going to get the longer legs soon, but I don't see a reason to get the S1000 now.

    Like everyone else, I just wish they'd pull their finger out and give us some more specs, pricing and expected availability!

    This means that without an approved safety case (12 month duration) you won't be able to fly > 7Kg AT ALL in a congested area. There will be no more on-off site-by-site approvals. This makes no change to the current < 7Kg situation.

    That would be my understanding too, through it may be that you also need to document both configurations in the ops manual and be flight tested appropriately.

    It's not EuroUSC or RPQ-S that give permission for aerial work - it's the CAA.

    That is not correct. Your ops manual and flight test cover you only for the specific aircraft you specify and are tested on. Even if you bought a second phantom you need to be tested on it as well because they could have different settings / configurations.

    2 Transmitters...Pilot and camera man

    Warning, I'm going to as a potentially stupid question now...... I would also like to build a dual transmitter system since I work with my son filming, we both know what we need and work well together. However, on days where we may need to go solo (with just pilot + spotter instead of pilot +...

    Could the good times for DJI be numbered (New Align video)

    I would definitely be interested in knowing the price, release date, MTOM, lowest TOM with GH4 and decent battery etc. It looks a pretty decent craft but we need to know more about the flight controllers etc.

    Do you have a current weight with this battery but without the gimbal and GH4? Or even one fully built without the battery?

    I'd like to know this too....
