AHA !! Breaking the rules again ! I had tried a variety of Gyro Bandwidth rates, following a suggestion from Eric, but to no avail. I still got this meandering and drifting which is not apparent in either E055 or HD55. However, I have once more loaded 56.43 onto a spare 3XP and will give it...

I get endless drifting and just general meandering around on both Tilt AND Roll with FW v056.43 - and that is sitting on a table, long before vibrations are entered into the equation. Of course Pan still lives in a world of its own. This was with FOUR different 3X Pro's on a Copterworks gimbal...

Well, it's official. It has nothing to do with which camera or what hack or anything like that. Jeff has simply been blessed with a magic touch. Hell, he even manages to look cool in FPV specs!

My sympathies Boris. I don't like to read your unheeded pleas about the 'hack' not working. It had better bloody well work. I am really fed up with wasting money on gear that doesn't deliver. I have the 64GB card but no camera yet. I am hoping that the second GH2 will have a correctly...

I like it! Good smooth flying and camera work. Which point version of v56 is that? I had all sorts of really basic problems with 56.43 and have reverted to E055 on the Copterworks heli and HD55 on the AV200 for now. It is also mandatory to state which camera and mount you used for videos posted...

I keep the MK Octo for experiments and firmware tests etc. The upgrade from .86 is straight forward - don't even have to recalibrate the compass - and an quick hop in the back garden showed great stability and nothing weird going on so I jumped straight in and updated the AD-8 as well. Now if...

Stunning quality from that GH2. Presumably you are looking at a different image if you are FPV flying? Sorry:). Couldn't resist poking at the typos. Is "the new PH stab black box" the PhotoHigher stabilisation system that we hear about?

Please enlighten us if this is not the case but we read and hear about some pretty draconian, and frankly ridiculous regulations and policing, particularly with reference to UAV's. Things like having to obtain a license if you take photos or videos that include government property in the frame -...

That's brave ... to start a UAV based business in California of all places.

I don't quite get it. What is "review mode"? Do you mean the camera is switching to playback of recorded images?

I did a photo job last week and went up first with an MK Octo and a small compact camera, because it is so quiet and unobtrusive. Both blades of one prop flew off. The previous outing a single blade broke off. These were the EP props that the Octo was supplied with. Since the Octo seems to be...

Do I detect a sudden trend?

What a perfectly charming looking place - and what a very nice photo !

Gotcha. Actually, I now see that the 64GB is an SDXC whereas the others are SDHC. I guess that has to mean something. 1GB per minute is about as much as DVCPRO HD on P2 fer chrissakes! Man, I didn't know these GH2's were being pushed to that level. I am still mystified by the HDMI monitoring -...

I'll lay odds that I bought the one in 100,000 lemon GH2. That is my big talent! The HDMI converter works fine with the Canon 5D and Sony NEX-5 HDMI outputs. You just plug them in and up pops the image. The Blue bars on light blue background was 'the best' I could get out of the GH2 and only...

Wow. That's a hell of a big building site you and your mate did there! The 360 Pano is pretty impressive too.

I have a question for the experienced GH2 users out there. Are you ALL using an extra FPV camera for live preview monitoring or is anyone using the GH2 directly. The GH2 composite feed is disabled for recording. It is for playback only (really bizarre decision - who wants to playback in...

Here is another raw video camera comparison test at the visually uninspiring and very gusty airfield ... but it does have the 'detail resolution test' tree. The NEX is the odd numbered stills (1, 3, 5, etc) and on the left during the moving shot. The camera settings were identical and OIS was...

Interesting indeed. For all the bad mouthing that MK receives from many quarters around I haven't lost faith yet, and this is despite the hardware issues I had at the very beginning with bits falling off BL boards. I feel safe in Holger's hands - so far. But I 'm still gonna wait until Bart...

I am keen to see some of your results with the NEX-7. I wonder if it produces sharper raw video? I read in a photo mag article that the NEX has a really excellent sensor but it is let down by insufficient processing power to transfer enough of the data to the card. The result is the sort of okay...
