    Loc8tor tracker location

    Yes it’s the same thing, though I got the tabcat as it has the silicone cases to put the discs in to mount easier, new unused in box but second hand £46.00. 400ft seems about right, I don’t fly too much out of sight generally, though nor do I watch it like a hawk! or massive distances, but if...

    Loc8tor tracker location

    Hi Tom and thx for the reply. I wasn’t clear, I was more interested in any electronic concerns, I stayed away from middle of body due to compass / sensors etc. Weight is negligible.

    Loc8tor tracker location

    Any thoughts on this for a mounting location for Loc8tor? Didn’t ask for re calibration of compass and seemed to make no difference to flying. Held on with zip tie.

    4k 60fps at H.265 not playing back on MacBook Pro 2015

    I think it’s the age of your computer, I had same problem with iPad, got iPad Pro .. I problem solved. Search h.265 on here and there is plenty info for you. Hope that helps.

    4k 60fps at H.265 not playing back on MacBook Pro 2015

    It’s the h.256 that’s causing the problem being unsupported.

    4k 60fps at H.265 not playing back on MacBook Pro 2015

    Your processor isn’t fast enough, buy a faster Mac or iPad. Also you can use something called proxy to allow editing I believe, do t know much about this, though someone will shed light for you I’m sure.

    GPS Tracker For Flyaways - Any Interest?

    I’ve heard a lot of good reports on Marco Polo, no ongoing fees is a real bonus, though I don’t think Marco Polo is easily available here in the UK

    GPS Tracker For Flyaways - Any Interest?

    Well skysthelimit, tbh I’m unsure if loc8tor is actually any good in a real event, and tbf I fly for fun, I loose sight of the drone all the time, but I’m kinda relaxed about it now, probably I’ll loose the drone over water knowing my luck, so it won’t need a locator anyways. I do like gadgets...

    GPS Tracker For Flyaways - Any Interest?

    I’ve been thinking of getting loc8tor, pros and cons for both this and a gps unit, but on balance it will give me piece of mind and as it comes with a couple of transmitters one of my cats can be a tester for me [emoji16]

    New Product Release : Rescue Jackets / Float your Mavic in the Sea.

    Flying over water seems generally ok to me and not too stressful the more I do it, however I don’t really see a reason to land on water, I’d be interested to see how this flotation “jacket” does in protecting the drone following motor / battery failure, I guess the real or only benefit of the...

    Recommendations For Flying The Mavic Out The Cargo Door Of A Float Plane

    I don’t know the plane, but if it’s similar to your pic and I assume you are not confident (nor does it look practical) in flying in and out of confined and moving space, It would seem obvious to hand launch and land whilst standing on the float and keeping away from any obstructions as much as...

    Reckless flying- what are your thoughts?

    Great flying, great video, and for the record I don’t see any real risk or danger, plenty of “what if” I concede but that’s a lot of the problem, nanny states legislating for too many “what if” (read “how to tax”) and too many sheep / self appointed police / frightened of their own shadow ...
