£10M Cover was required for just keeping my feet firmly on the ground. Thats what you get for working with a large chain of UK shopping centres where there are lots of people itching to trip over a misplaced lens cap.

Being for commercial flight the pilot needs the minimum legal requirement set by the CAA of £750K. As most policies start at £1M that's all you need. As this is over private land its then imperative that as the pilot you do adequate pre flight planning and risk assessment that you don't incur...

I had a look at the Grey Arrows following your recommendation for insurance but they exclude: Business or commercial operations of any kind @Emexrulsier it might be worth discussing public liability amounts with the client you are flying for and possibly some others to get a gauge of what is...

Not sure it works that way in the UK.

CAA require minimum of £750,000 for commercial insurance so unless you are doing some particularly demanding flights £1M is all that is required.

LUTs are similar to colour profiles in stills. Technical LUTs (normally provided by the manufacturer) convert the info from the camera sensor in to a broadcast friendly colour space which is usually REC709. Cinema cameras manufacturers will give you details of what IRE to expose 18% grey for...

I'm using a slightly older version of Anker's 60W charger for my Air 3 battery dock and it works perfectly. I'd strongly advise against 100W chargers unless you absolutely need the extra charge speed as they're just not as good for the batteries. Fast charging create much more heat and...

If you reached the limits of your iso/shutter with a strong ND filter it would eventually darken the image.

The clue is in the title of the filter - Neutral Density. ND’s will always change the colour of the shot very slightly as they only block visible light and not other wavelengths like IR. All the invisible light still streams through and hits the sensor potentially effecting colour (especially...

Getting the exposure wrong is just getting it wrong, regardless of if you had an ND attached or not. Using an ND won't fix that and you can still overexpose with an ND attached. The only way an ND will help expose correctly is if you lock everything in manually (ISO, Shutter, Aperture) and use...

Not seeing this and think you will get a similar response from the CAA?

Most likely an estate agents rater than a perv or a malicious flight. People reveal more private information on facebook than a mini drone would flying 50m above your house.

HMP birmingham and Birmingham International are the only NFZ’s in Birmingham.

You have got to be kidding! I don’t know of a single case where a drone was used to spy on a neighbour back garden or perv through someones window.

Broad street in Birmingham is NOT a no fly zone and the guy was flying a DJI mini pro 3?
