Here are some snaps taken over the last couple of days in the Peak District, around Elton. This was my first real opportunity to test my new M4P. As you can see, the shots were taken in very different lighting condition (that's Autumn in England for you!). The only constant was the wind, which...

Welcome!

Same here - having just taken delivery of a Skyreat hard case I can confirm that there is space for the sticks to stay on the RC2 when closed. Massive bonus in my view, as I always found slightly unnerving the idea of screwing the sticks on the controller on the go...

Welcome!

I am approaching the end of my return window for the M3P. If I hate the M4P I will return that and buy something else! 🙂

Well, I'm based in the UK, and that's where I do most of my flying. Aside from the fact that all minis will probably get the same restrictions, deep down I'm hoping that this is just DJI's clumsy knee-jerk reaction to the regulation, that will be solved more elegantly (and effectively) in future...

Very short video of my M3P's last flight on Friday. Unprocessed footage shot with a K&F ND/PL filter - nice rainbow over the Ionian sea off the coast of a Greek island. After a brief period of ownership, my M3P's is packed to go back to Amazon to be swapped for a M4P . I really enjoyed the...

I'm in a very similar position: I bought my M3P from an online retailer named after a South American river two weeks ago, and I will be returning it next week and buying a M4P. I would have done that even if the M4P upgrades had been less appealing. I really can't find any rational reason not...

Apparently battery yes, filter no (source: )

Hi Jonathan, I have just registered in Italy as a non-EU citizen. I found the D-flight website confusing at best. I ended up contacting their online support (again, through quite a byzantine process), but to their credit they answered very swiftly and helped me through the registration. Worth...

As a general rule, the better the resolution, the larger the image will print whilst retaining its detail. What really matters when you print are the DPI (dots per inch), rather than the megapixels at which the image was captured. As you rightly state, the farther away you are from the print...

That sounds like quite a story! I better try and get myself a steel factory, or a FPV headset! 🤣

Hey LoudThunder, thank you so much for taking the time to reply, some really good advice in there! Let me just be clear: I don't 'own' an island in the Med (otherwise I'd probably have my own airplane, forget the drone!) 😂 I have registered with the authorities in the UK and in the EU, so...

Thank you very much Glehn. In answer to your questions, ideally I would like to use the photographic data gathered via the drone to build a 3d model of the land, that I can use to produce as a base to produce some architectural 3d sketches in CAD. There is no need for the model to be...

Thank you for the replies - the GCP's suggestion is a good one. I am familiar with the gps inaccuracy, but how accurate are the drone sensor? E.g. if the barometric sensor is set at start, does it reliably stay constant and therefore will all the height measurements be consistent among themselves?
