    Andrew, if its parcelfarce, then they send you through a letter, bit liek your new pin number for a credit card. You can then go online & pay with your card, they dispatch it the next day after payment normally. I had a big problem with DHL recently, they deliver the goods then send an invoice...

    Andy, how do you connect your notebook to the navi board or do you go straight to the FC board? Ross

    Sony NEX-5

    I think what we are all after is this:- Lightweight Top quality So the optics from a 5D, transmitted through a 5W video TX & have the recording side on the ground...problem cured. This is a very nasty game as it stands. We want this broadcast quality video, with fast FPS, but we dont want the...

    The smaller camera has good comparison with the 5D, but as you rightly said...video is a whole new ball game & requires different conditions to acheive similar results to still photographs. Regards Ross

    Sorry my mistake, I didnt mean real virbation..I meant jerkiness! Yes the weight addition was purely as a test, but if you need extra weight it shows that it isnt much cop for aerial work, because without the weight it will be jerky & unnaceptable to a potential customer. As soon as you adjusted...

    5D on the right...2 things immediately stand out for me (yes Im a canon man). 1 is the colour, far richer on the 5D & No.2 is its more steady...more weight. I think there is only one fair way to judge the quality....thats make the mount the same weight when using the NEX as it is when using the...

    DAVE: With the 5D Mombasa, I agree weight can be a big part of the smoothness, at the end of the day no one really likes jumpy low quality videos, we all want the best possible....if that means for me shorter flight times..then I will have to stick with that. How long are you getting from the 2...

    unfair test in my book. The sun has sunk down to the horizon when the 5D gets its turn & this causes serious lens flares, which also affects the exposure settings. You need to do this test with the sun behind your shooting position. The 5D has a better definition, the branches on the trees look...

    Ecilop, Whats brewing there ?

    I like the black cover over the gubbins, had a similar idea but circular to cover ALL my octo, both top & bottom...make myself a UFO, add some fancy LED's & go & scare the local populus. As for this gents engliche, very impressive...he speaks to fast & with the twang to his engliche it adds to...

    More like flying a RC heli, dip the nose to accelerate & increase thrust to climb.
