Hi Benjamin, Are you trying to get this one under 7Kg? If so how's it going? Cheers Pete

Oh dear, not great then. I still haven't seen the yaw issue with my set-up. Is there an explanation as to what's causing it? pete

[I was out flying this afternoon in pretty strong wind and I had time getting it down, thought it was going to tip a few times. I actually "hate" the Movi MR legs, and may go back to the retracts again. Quinton, have you had anymore joy with the MR legs or given up on them? pete

Latest offering using the Movi M5 and GH4. All without post stabilisation and in Scotland. https://vimeo.com/103644999

Ah...I was about to post my "professional" showreel but then went and watched yours. Back to the drawing board for me! Pete

If money no problem then: http://www.jasoncases.com/store/product/movi-m5-case-with-red-overlay-compact/ or peli storm im2875 works with a bit of faffing. What are you using for your SJ? Pete

You're right there does need to be a distinguishing limit, my big beastie taking off and flying about is a very different proposition than my wee beastie and there's nothing wrong with the stuff you achieve at sub 7. Things are moving so fast I dare say sub 7 won't be a problem this time next...

Perhaps the ARPAS guys are able to put some pressure on the authorities to lift the 7kg limit, is 7kg just an arbitrary weight or based on some clever maths that 7.5 or 8kg mass has an exponential effect when it hits the dirt?? Promise I'll join ARPAS when I claw back some funds from this...

It does mention in here on the CAA website: http://www.caa.co.uk/default.aspx?catid=1995&pageid=16011 Have to say the CAA is pushing the safety envelope before the tech can produce a good quality camera rig with redundancy at 7kg. It's close but not there yet, 8Kg would do it I think... Pete

Check out this thread on freefly, kde have made some changes after these findings. Not sure it's relevant to your problem. http://forum.freeflysystems.com/index.php?threads/crash-video-x8-with-kde-4014-into-the-water.4598/ Pete

Does look very tight to keep below 7kg, just totted it up using 2x4ah, gh4 and Zen and it came to 6.95kg. Am I right in thinking you can use the same machine in sub 7 config when you need it but go over 7 when it's not a problem? Although I dare say that will still mean airworthiness check will...

I don't know about A2, never used it, but why give yourself the grief. Wookong works so put that on instead and save yourself a few quid too! pete
