umm… and once i've been through this lark i can foresee… "hi, we want some aerial photos of our stately home/riverside mansion/private golf course… we've got a budget of £50…"

@bowley, thanks. :tennis: @swisser, your comments have actually clarified a lot of stuff for me - thanks. we still haven't clobbered the BNUC into a pocket friendly amount, but based on comments here (and correct me if i'm wrong) i'm more confident that the process is designed to help rather...

kingslynmodels had it for £1899, on their website, it's not a stock item but i was told that if ripmax have it in stock it would be delivered in a couple of days… if you by from the states there's region settings involved and should you need to have ripmax in the uk look at it under warranty...

after previous discussions about the bnuc process format, i took it upon myself to get a head start by attempting to put an OM together. i've spent a reasonable amount of time - 6-7 hours - finding examples online, looking at the shell requirements and ANO documents etc. and doing my own...

If the cost for examining on different platforms was more reasonable, then people would just do it. But with the money being asked for courses and exams, it constantly seems that certain parties are using this process as a cash cow (especially when you can get examined for BMFA A/B for nowt) -...

Well, here it is. The gopro is velcro'd - facing straight down - to the bottom of the F330, so be prepared to blow chunks if you get motion sickness. Need to figure a better, forward facing, solution but at the moment the lipo and naza gps mast are up top. Have to say that the F330 is a total...

totally agree on manual setting… when i shoot regular panoramas, everything is locked off at a single setting - focus, aperture, shutter speed and white balance. I usually take a reading from light and dark areas and settle on a good average, based on test shots. I then shoot 3 bracketed...

well… bit of free time and nice weather so i headed off down to the cricket pitch for a fly with the F330. ran a pack through her and was getting the hang of it - the whole square is netted off, so good reference for how far to fly. connected up the second pack and velcro/strapped a gopro to...

boris, if you dont need the hub… :tennis:

another vote here for hugin, a very capable app and what i've been using since the demise of kekus panotools. shooting one aerial pano which stitches correctly is tricky, stitching two from exactly the same point and height will be tough. personally, i'd be looking to shoot and stitch both as...

mat, there's a cricket pitch a stone's throw from my front door. as soon as a free moment and suitable weather occur at the same time, i'll have a go. but dont expect to be beating any times…

the futaba 18mz is their flag ship tx. 18channels, touch screen interface running windows ce, sbus programmer built in, crappy digi camera. it really is a beauty, but if you compare specs, apart from the touch screen, its not a million miles off a 12z (except for the additional channels. And a...

100% agree on retracts, i can see a lot of people landing on their expensive gimbals… In an ideal world, DJI would pump out a zenmuse for an EOS-M and it would let me use the EF adaptor and some of my smaller (size) primes… and i'd have the spare cash to buy one. But to enjoy the benefits of...

I've called out DJI a few times on products which I think have flaws, but if the price was right i would definitely buy one of these. (cut price pre-order, hint, hint??) I definitely think there's a market for a compact gimbal for use with the GoPro. You can get some pretty good quality...

The plingboot S800 Fund… For anyone in the UK is looking for a cheapo laptop for MR configuration duities… I have an IBM/Lenovo X41 ThinkPad up for grabs - with power adaptor and battery. It's it a two part affair - laptop and clip-on docking/additional port station. In laptop only state...

800kV torxpower motors, 11" prop, but do use 10" as well, AUW with 2 x 4000mAh lipo 3.2kg, my happy/safe flight time 7:30, run to lipo alarm 12:00.

…on the subject of safety, it' worth getting a few used ammunition cases to store your lipos in, there's loads of sellers on ebay with them - i picked up 3 x .50cal cases for about £30. they lock tight and are a better option than just leaving lipos sitting around on shelves, in drawers or...

Have say i'm feeling very, very glum about my Y6 build today and beginning to wonder whether it's actually worth persevering. If anyone can offer some help to sort the issues i'd much appreciate it. ANOTHER TEST Had another fly of it this evening the issues noted are all still there and to be...

Here's my DW Y6…

It's just an observation, but IRC are futaba users and their kit is supplied futaba ready. Whenever i've pm'd sander at IRC about spektrum related issues he's always had a reply, but often it's suffixed with "…but we all use futaba radios and have no experience with spektrum" So i doubt...
