    PolarPro ND filters - old vs. new

    Just picked up a nice set of PolarPro filters on eBay but have discovered they are an older version of the Cinema series. They have ridges around the bezel whereas current versions are smooth. According to PolarPro they changed the design after some early reports of gimbal calibration...

    Hello from Welling, South East London

    Hi Nick, I'm a fellow Londoner, well, just outside to the west. Welcome to a fantastic addiction! :) Good luck finding somewhere to fly - and let us know if you do.

    Thanks TJ for putting this up!!

    Hi, I'm about six miles from Windsor and, sadly, have yet to find a good flying spot. Ironically there's a lot of wide open spaces like Runnymede near me and Windsor Great Park but all have no-drone rules. Best bet so far is Richmond Park which has a dedicated area for RC flying. Been there but...

    Flying spots near Worthing?

    Staying near Worthing, W Sussex for a few days. Any suggestions for good places to fly? Seems fairly clear of NFZs.

    DJI Mavic Pro Platinum - is it worth it?

    Agree with most of the above. The new features are nice but they aren't enough to make me regret buying my Mavic Pro a couple of weeks back. At least it'll give dealers a chance the say they have the 'new model' in stock and give DJI a breathing space to work on the inevitable Mavic 2.

    Remote Controller: small connector bracket frustration

    Is anyone else frustrated by the very small square plastic bracket/slider that holds the connector plug for your phone or tablet on the left device holder of your Remote Controller? Whenever I remove my iPhone from the clamps the (in this case) Lightning connector is pulled out of its holder, or...

    New in Box? Fly More Combo - Prop's already installed?

    No order. Went into my local Maplin store a week ago and picked one up. It came sealed in a brown box which contained one large white box containing everything listed in the Fly More Combo.

    I see so many guys posting and asking why their Mavic crashed

    My feeling is, as with most new pieces of tech, many new Mavic owners - in their rush to use their new 'toy' - don't RTFM enough and I mean really RTFM. You're throwing a sophisticated piece of kit around the sky, at least know how to control it and what to do in case something makes it fall to...

    National Trust Properties

    Interesting. I live near a NT property, Runnymede, which is a large open space of grassland with no large buildings or gardens on it. For most of the year few people are seen using it. It would be an ideal flying space but, I assume, not under current NT bylaws. I don't know how they would stop...
