    Zenmuse GH4 Owners thread

    Interesting thread chaps. Thanks, just read through the whole lot! I really hope the next Panasonic FW release sorts the 16:9 12MP thing. I have had the "white out" issue several times. Sometimes wire wiggling solves it, sometimes not. Today my gimbal dropped right about 10 degrees in flight for...

    BNUC-s vs. RPQ-s?

    I heard recently that they are on 6-8 weeks at the moment. Couldn't believe it but obviously that is correct. I would strongly suggest that people submit their renewals at least 2 months before they are due to ensure continuity otherwise you put yourself on very rocky ground with insurance etc...

    Repairing gps...

    Yup either drill it out or buy a new one from eBay or GoodLuckbuy. As Bartman says, be very careful with the dust, it's nasty stuff.

    Repairing gps...

    They are sold on eBay for opening mobile phones. You may find that a micro flat head screwdriver will do it as well if they aren't too tight. As JoeBob says, it is a Torx head, but I can't remember what size! Something like this would have it...

    BNUC-s vs. RPQ-s?

    Check here as some of the costs are optional. I think this is as some companies may wish to put their pilots through a flight test every year to make sure skills are current. http://www.resource-uas.co.uk/RPASTraining/Bookingacourse/Pricelist.aspx

    BNUC-s vs. RPQ-s?

    You'll really enjoy it Gary. Drop in and say hello to Ben he's lonely for pilots to talk to and knows a rather nice pub for food and ale if you like that kind of thing!

    BNUC-s vs. RPQ-s?

    Morning all I got back from Kemble last night, having had a great time apart from a rainswept morning on Monday in an abortive attempt to get the test done quickly! However, yesterday dawned over a beautifully still, if slightly misty, Cotswolds and I completed the flight test. The staff who...

    BNUC-s vs. RPQ-s?

    Hi.One thing to make clear is that they are not accepting the ground school only a FULLY completed BNUC-s theory and flight test. So you can't chop and change between theory and flight test sides. I am actually retiring my original two machines now, but yes I would have to if I was keeping them...

    BNUC-s vs. RPQ-s?

    Hi Andrew. I am BNUC-s qualified at the moment on the machines I have used for the last couple of years but am putting my two new machines through the RPQ-s flight test on Monday. (Resource UAS are accepting a fully completed BNUC-s as an equivalent of their ground school, so I only have to do...

    Legal operators potentially needed for Switzerland and Italy

    Hi I have had a request from a Brazilian production company I work with who potentially need multirotor operators for work in Italy and Switzerland. As a UK operator I can find very little information about operation in those countries but if anyone knows any operators with permission for...

    Have you lost a hexacopter in Norfolk UK?

    Turns out it was a friend of a friend. He was flying a Naza V2 and had a flyaway. Very experienced pilot, first flyaway in 10 years!

    Have you lost a hexacopter in Norfolk UK?

    Good morning. The local BBC are running this today. Anybody had a hexacopter fly away in Wymondham, Norfolk, UK or recognise the build? https://twitter.com/BBCNorfolk/status/340375666325348353/photo/1 Elliott

    PH Hero 3000 gimbal "caught on film"!

    We are... :) Going to be a while though. Our partner company is releasing direct drive gimbals for GoPro Hero 3 and Nex class cameras in March/April. I've only seen the CADs though. We are working on a design for the bigger cameras people keep asking us to fly!

    WKM 5.20 firmware released

    I agree, it is no excuse. I've already offered to proofread stuff! I'm going to meet the staff the DJI stall at BVExpo next week. I'll have a word with them and just say that if they gave people a bit more information, people would probably be a lot happier... same as when the S800 flip issue...

    BNUC-S - the seamless route to successful certification and remunerative bliss

    Silly busy... busier now than I was in September. Everybody wants stuff done before Christmas! I know what would be good... a definitive list of operators with CAA permission (with BNUC-S or whatever the carry-over arrangement is) so that if we can't do a job we might be able to find someone...

    BNUC-S - the seamless route to successful certification and remunerative bliss

    ...and mostly correct!??? Will do, I haven't had many projects at the moment where I need more than me, but maybe they'll come at some point!

    BNUC-S - the seamless route to successful certification and remunerative bliss

    Hi, bit of a slow reply but... Bits and bobs all over the place seems to have been the situation for the last couple of years. I had to fight my way through a lot of misinformation, then I thought, why not ring the CAA. I rang them, they were incredibly helpful and put me in touch with EuroUSC...
