I think you're hitting the nail on the head there and that really summarises my frustration with them, this has been going on for years now and why I don't have any confidence they'll stick with the rules they're proposing now. I still can't figure out what the new A2 rules are (they don't...

I don't see that as straightforward and that doesn't look correct either, where have they said that unmarked C1 equivalent drones can fly in A1? The CAA site states the drones must have the C1 classification: European C class marks If your drone or model aircraft has a C class mark on it, the...

I wouldn't be surprised if no manufacturers bother to follow the UK class system (I've seen it with other devices) because it's not worth their time. I'm just fed up of the CAA being able to make their minds up on anything for several years now and just leaves us in limbo. Potentially there's...

That post confirms what the CAA already said that from the 1st January 2026, the European class marks would be followed in the UK but it doesn't mention anything about what happens in 2028. The CAA still states that the European class marks will only respected up until the end of 2027 after...

I thought the C labels were only going to be temporarily recognised between 2026 and 2028 but after that they wouldn't be and only the UK classification would be recognised, has that changed?

I agree with the post above that you may need to be looking at portable power stations, I have a fairly beefy Anker power bank I use for my laptops and handheld gaming consoles (Steamdeck/Legion Go) and laptops only has 100W max per USB-C port. From what I can see, the spec sheet for your...

No, that's been the conventional thinking but the study suggests that it's an inherent trait so some people seemed to be wired for non-inverted and some for inverted rather what you were used to first. They suggest trying the opposite way for a bit since it may work better for you although I've...

Or he was just winding you up because it's extremely unlikely it was what he claimed and the specification he told for the drone and separate camera are likely nonsense as well.

I've never really managed to get 360 cameras working the way I want because they tend to up quite soft once I have the shot I want due to them stretching a very wide field of view onto a small sensor. I've been following the Osmo 360 recently since it uses the same accessories as the standard...

There was a recent study looking into inverted controls and believes it's based on the way your brain thinks not what you were originally used to: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/study-into-inverted-versus-uninverted-controls-suggests-we-can-stop-having-pointless-arguments-about-it Coming...

Yes, they announced they are exiting the consumer market: https://fpvexplorers.com/autel-evo-nano-lite-discontinued/

Putting aside any feelings for Musk and Tesla I don't think it makes any sense for them to move into this market. Manufacturing drones would be significantly different to any of the existing products and there's no guarantees that DJI will continue to be blocked in the US leading to a...

If it an item is sold by a third party seller but it's fulfilled by Amazon that means it's Amazon's responsibility to correctly deliver the item because they stock the item in their warehouses and they ship the item. This means if a seller review is referencing the delivery of the item, Amazon...

Your full name is in the letter in case that concerns you. I'm quite a risk averse person and given your minor planned use of the drone if it was me I'd leave it at home. You say you're nervous about it and I know I would be too so it's one less issue to worry about.
