I genuinely don't know how to respond to that without wanting to claw my eyes out in frustration, so I'll just leave you to it.

Thank you for providing another demonstration of the attitude I'm talking about. There's no contradiction in that post, I'm talking about being mindful of other people's' wishes.

You're quoting me but replying to points I haven't even made. I give up.

Yes, it's my opinion, but I'd say it's a realistic, if truncated expectation of modern democracy, at least in my experience.

Do you understand what "Be reasonable" means? It doesn't mean capitulate to every single complaint without question. If the law says stay 50m from people and someone complains, don't just state that you're legally allowed to fly there, just pull back to 75m or something. You can appease someone...

I need convincing on that point. It's absolutely a useful range on the ground, but from the air? What's the use case here? Don't get me wrong it's going to be better than nothing (and infinitely better than digital zoom of the same range), but you're not going to be able to fill the frame with...

That's an incredibly naive viewpoint. That attitude is almost as dangerous to hobbies like this as people flying irresponsibly. You know what the other person has the "freedom" to do? Write to their representative in government and offer their entirely biased viewpoint. The representative then...

I've been using a Lowepro Slingshot bag for about 12 years now, they certainly have my vote (although the styles you can get now give much more space for additional stuff). When you swing them around to access the camera compartment, they give you a handy "shelf" where you can put down your...

Unless you need to carry 10+ batteries and loads of spare props, buying a backpack specifically for the Mavic Air just seems a bit wasteful to me. It's tiny so you can stick it in another bag with other stuff. I think that's why even the standard pack comes with a small hard case for the quad...

Perhaps having the reveal come from Argos was deemed less damaging than whatever problem that caused the cancellation of the event.

I doubt that'll be the case. The only thing that needs to be in the gimbal is the sensor and the lens, the rest of the electronics that make it a camera are inside the body. Different sensors will require different processors and software. That's not to say that a removable camera module isn't...

It may just be the poor quality photo, but it doesn't even look like that bubble should fit over the sides of the gimbal. I imagine it's going to be an extremely tight fit just getting the thing on. The gimbal cover, specifically the clip behind the bubble was one of my least favourite parts of...

Ah yeah, I see where you're coming from. That they're sticking a 1 inch sensor into the Mavic line does beg the question as to where the Phantom line goes from here. Being a bigger, heavier platform, the Phantom does have the potential for lugging around larger camera equipment, including that...

Your theory's right, but I don't think the term "crop factor" really applies here. That's when you have a lens in front of a sensor that's smaller than what the lens was designed for - originally used to describe the effect of mounting a lens designed for 35mm film in front of a smaller sensor...

Indeed. From the look of it there isn't even enough space to fit a one inch sensor into the one the catalogue labels as the zoom model.
