    Focus Mavic4 pro on pano

    I'd need to double check but I'm sure the Mavic 2 Pro in panorama mode switches to MF and infinity focus automatically.

    New UK drone regs

    At the moment the clear intention is that the European class equivalence will no longer apply after 2027 since in the CAA's mind, there will be two years worth of drones all UK marked by that point and all new ones will also be UK marked. I think whether that happens or not will determine if...

    How often do you use your gimbal cover?

    I only take it off when the drone is going to be flying, it goes back on when the drone is finished.

    Over heating battery

    The user Meta on here posted with a similar problem on a Mavic 4 Pro https://mavicpilots.com/threads/battery-overheating.154551/#post-1731971 The battery was replaced by DJI

    New UK drone regs

    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...

    New UK drone regs

    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...

    New UK drone regs

    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...

    New UK drone regs

    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...

    New UK drone regs

    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?

    Wanting to understand "Power Banks" and what I'll need....

    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...

    From Video Games To Drones...

    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...

    I saw a Mavic pro 5

    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.

    Avata 360

    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...
