    Flying Scotsman in danger

    I quite agree - I’m just asking for balanced reporting and not dismissing or making excuses or acting immaturely. Nomad and Mr Salty’s virtue-signalling comments do not forward the argument.

    Flying Scotsman in danger

    Another article this morning regarding a drone flown too close to something, this time a locomotive. I don’t want to re-run old arguments but shouldn’t there be some balance in reporting? https://apple.news/AjuJrJdpITXOjLWYaQmiGeg

    Advice from UK based Mavic Flyers...

    I am sorry to hear of your experience but as you will discover they have no right of ownership of the air over their property provided you are not spoiling their enjoyment of it (how would airlines operate!). Sounds like you did everything right - you were courteous and operated within the Drone...

    Props hitting long grass- long term problems?

    After a flight using leg extenders today I had no choice but to land in medium length dry grass (which I had stamped down to take off!). Predictably the props connected with the grass stopping the motors. After a quick clean everything looked ok but I wonder if this abrupt end harms the motors...

    Yes there’s a definite difference. I thought initially it left glue residue but I have tried light rubbing and nothing changes

    The blob in the middle is the reflection of my light fitting, the screen is turned off.

    Request for opinion

    It looks like it in all light conditions. It appears the screen protector has removed some of the coating of the screen, perhaps an anti-glare coating?

    Request for opinion

    I wonder could I ask for an opinion? I bought a Crystalsky from a well known auction site. It was advertised with a screen protector fitted. It arrived in good condition but I don’t like screen protectors so I removed it. I found that the screen was damaged by the protector - it appears to have...

    Smooth zoom during hyper lapse?

    I’m relatively new to the MP2 zoom so excuse me if this is a silly question. I want to take a hyperlapse shot of traffic at night and during the shot zoom in to a particular section of the street. All my efforts have resulted in the zoom being too quick and jerky. Is there a way of carrying out...
