    Can You Recommend a Phone or Tablet Under $300? Screen size of 7" or bigger (For the M2P)

    I'm using an iPad Mini V4. Its never let me down. It fits into the controller without the need for any additional cradle. I have also found the IOS app to be more stable than android. This tablet is a few years old now so should be able to pick one up second hand close to your budget,

    Would love an opinion.....does the video seem "stuttery"?

    This is completely normal and is due to the speed in which you pan. As an example, if shooting 35mm film, on a 50mm lens shooting 24fps, a smooth, non-jittery 90 degree pan will take 23 seconds. More info HERE

    Help - Can View Images on Micro SD card - PC no longer recognizes card

    This software has saved my images/videos in the past due to card corruption. A bit late now for OP but worth having in your PC's toolkit. It's free so nothing lost giving it a go: PhotoRec

    Wow!! I'm going through remote battery charge in no time flat !!

    Instead of using the small port on the side of the controller use the standard USB port at the bottom. As far as I know this doesnt pass charge to the tablet/phone. I had the same issue but since switching the controller battery lasts a loooong time.

    Do Sea Gulls really hate drones ?

    I think they breed the buggers differently up here in Porto. The gulls around here are fearless; when its nesting season they are very aggressive even attacking people and dogs in the parks by dive bombing and crapping. If you find a quiet area and start flying it will only take a couple of...

    Mavic 2 Pro Video problem

    Your video card is not strong enough to process H265 video. Have a look at the NVIDIA Video Codex report here: Nvidia Video Codex Kepler cards will play H264 at 20MB/s with 1920x1080 resolution at around 161fps. If we extrapolate a 4k image is 4 x Full HD that means around 40fps with a 20MB...

    M2P - Noise in video at ISO 100

    I dont see any issue with the image quality at all. I think the color grade you have used bring out the grain even more. Maybe a more subtle colour grade like this? (1st Clip original, then suggested colour grade followed by yours) https://1drv.ms/v/s!AmYriUA0vRdfmvUhuKm8_McNl5aUPA?e=WSqzlx

    Battery Care - OK to keep on charger?

    Many thanks for your detailled and informative post! Looks like the third party option is the best way forward.

    Battery Care - OK to keep on charger?

    That looks ideal! Like the idea of being able to charge all three batteries at the same time which would mean being able to charge them all in less than an hour before going out. Many thanks!

    Battery Care - OK to keep on charger?

    This sounds ideal. Do you have a link or more details regarding the unit to limit the charge to 65%.

    Battery Care - OK to keep on charger?

    But once they start to deplete wont the charger kick back in and prevent the drainage for another 10 days?

    Battery Care - OK to keep on charger?

    Hi, I have a question regarding battery care which I would like to have some inputs on. Being a Dad of three with limited time to go and fly I often plan to get some flight time so charge up the batteries only to find the trip cancelled due to family, weather, etc. This then results in the...
