Precisely what I have been saying all along and the reason why the Zenmuse 5D is a waste of time. If you are taking stills, you don't need pixel accurate stabilisation - because so much can be done so simply in post - so use a simple mount. If you are taking video, use a different camera eg. GH3...

Regardless of what the reason is for the Canon being very susceptible to moiré, it is worse and that is all that counts. As for Magic Lantern and RAW, I wonder exactly how many folks around here shoot RAW. Who the hell needs to deal with those sort of file sizes? I have a brand new BMPC. It is...

Very nice!

Read? I have not used my 5D in four years. I rushed out and bought a 5D mkll when they were the hottest thing around and I was flying only a large single rotor helicopter, before MR's had hit the scene and I was impressed with the video against my Panasonic P2 video camera. Nice and bright with...

Me too. May have something to do with the clearly different lengths between the two in the photograph !! Like I said, the T-Motor props are longer than the standard 15" props

I don't trust the DJI FC one tiny bit. It has been working fine with 5.22 right up until it went totally ape-sh1t - for no good reason. So the hunt was on. Altitude? Dust? ESC? Nope. Turned out to be corrupted firmware. Retracing to 5.16 it was back to normal, upgrading back to where it started...

Ho-hum, I suppose I had better qualify the "waste of time" comment. I was thinking in terms of aerial video. The GH2&3 knock spots off the Canons video abilities, for apparent resolution, clarity and lack of moiré etc. However, the 5D will take much better photographs than the Lumix cameras. But...

Who the hell are you and what is all this sales rubbish you are talking? The only part of your blather that has any credence is "The S800 EVO is a new". The rest is rubbish.

... as with everything else they have sold. ... my word you are being polite. More accurate terminology would be ***king criminal.

BTW, forgot to ask. What the hell sort of gains did you have to run at 11,000ft? I am finding the S800 skittish at 7,500ft!

Sort of glad to know that everyone is affected by this and as for liking the noisy motors ... No. But thanks for clearing up that little query too.

What clearance do you have between adjacent prop tips? I installed TM props on the S800 and the gap between props was not only inconsistent but horribly small - like 1/4" on a couple. DJI's Anti-Vibration bandaid fix might reduce vibes from getting to the camera mount but they also take away a...

Phew!

Here we go again. Two days before leaving for a three month filming trip to Kenya I ordered and received the newly released Zenmuse-GH3. Guess what? It is faulty! The three-position Mode selection does not work, Reset only centers the Pan Axis and the 90° tilt function when in FPV Mode does...

Good Luck with that suggestion - unless TM are on the ball and have released split props. Apart from the generally horrendous experience of owning an S800, I am not interested in the EVO because the motors will not accept standard one-piece props. You are stuck with the DJI split props

:highly_amused: Z-15-5D = Waste of time. Who wants to carry around a heavy camera when you can use a lighter one and stay airborne longer. The only folks who use 5D's for aerial video are the uninformed who have not heard of a GH3. Message to Messrs. DJI. I have just purchased your new...

Steady on Dave. The "leader of the pack" was your expression for DJI, when pitted against MK et all. Anyway, I stand by my comments and these are borne out with your "STOP! Don't buy an A2" thread. After the endless problems with my piece of crap S800/Z-15, which unfortunately delivers some...

So much lurve around here.

I always shield the IR led from sunlight. I use a small length of heatshrink (unshrunk!) cut at the top to form an open flap that covers the IR sensor window. You can test an IR led by operating whilst viewing it with a digital camera. The camera can see it 'lighting up'.

Given that the integrity of the radio link is paramount the choice of frequency for the video link should be carefully considered. I use 2.4g for the radio and 5.8g for the video but I fly LOS only. Anything 'FPV' needs good range. The higher bandwidth of 5.8g will give you a better video image...
