If they do get to the drone market, I know one company who will be ensuring every model drone the manufacture will have a custom made battery for that model and that model only. But let's play "What If" If they do appear and the price is say $2,000 each. How many would buy one? I don't think...

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the "Short Term Money Market" It's a lucrative way to make profit from pre-orders. If it wasn't such a great way of using other people's money, it wouldn't be as popular as it is. There wouldn't be one aspect of DJI's business practices which doesn't turn a...

Final update. The Mavic 2Pro will be here tomorrow, but the surprise of the year is what happened on Friday. But first I have to back up to last Monday. I wasn't feeling the best and for the first time in many years, possibly 25 maybe more I felt as if I had the flu. We had a box of Covid test...

Here's an update. I shelved the Mini Mavic 4 purchase and went for a Mavic 2Pro with the Hasselblad camera. The comment made by Trabseyn regarding the wind factor was the reason for the change. My home town is located on land as flat as a billiard table and wind can be a pain for weeks on end...

Yes I agree, the Air 2 is a much heavier unit. Because I already have the Air 1 and 2 perhaps my best bet would be a Mavic Pro 2. I've always been looking at that Hasselblad camera. The same company who put cameras on the Moon. I was amazed when I discovered there was a baby Hasselblad on the...

I don't own a Mini 3,, just a mini One. The mini 2 isn't exactly a major leap in technology so I was watching the prices of the Mini 3. The prices of the Mini 3 and 4 are very similar here so I was interested in the 4. BUT after adding the Fly More package it really needs a healthy wallet. I...

Oh dear, not enough. I just started to relax and remember old memories and the video finished. Beautiful footage though. All that colour. I recall a massive meet in Calgary Canada. I went for a walk in the evening and as I came to the top of a hill I was greeted with dozens upon dozens of...

Hi Cafguy, I haven't tried CAMRISE, Mainly because I'm in Australia. I've seen the prices in the USA and they are usually a reason to drool, even accounting for the exchange rate they are amazing. The problem is, the shipping prices. I'm convinced the sellers use shipping to inflate their...

Thanks guys. your input is invaluable. Whether I do or I don't seems to be a unanimous "DO", but sadly another problem has reared it's ugly head. I sent the seller a message re the origins of his stock. The excellent offer kept reminding me of that old chestnut of, "If it sounds too good to be...

I've just watched a review of the Mavic Mini 4.. I've been saving my pennies to buy a Mini 3, but have just been offered a great deal on the New Mavic 4/ I've only ever owned one new Drone, the Mavic Pro Platinum so this will be a step which may end up having me Hung Drawn and quartered by she...

I downloaded that software, but it crashed after the first test. I downloaded another RMPrepUSB and it checked every SD card I own. Just the one came up bad. It was supposed to be a Sandisk 128Gb and turned out to be a 20gb. That's a strange number. I loaded 19.5GB worth of MP3's on it and it...

I may be completely wrong here so excuse me if I am. During my 20+ years of lugging a TV news camera around in the Aussie sunshine. A camera which cost me $35,000 plus a lens which cost $10,000, I suffered from flare. After getting caught with useless footage a few times I decided to run some...

I'm looking forward to Dementia, Imagine the fun I'd have looking through all those plastic tubs and never knowing what I'd discover. I could do that every Friday and it would feel like it's a brand new adventure. I could double the fun at Easter and hide my own Easter Eggs.

Interesting reading, but is Sandisk the only company who has their SD cards faked? It would appear so. What if I buy Kodak, which I do, mainly because my Father used to work for them and he got staff discounts and I've sort of stuck with them, mainly because I never had any problems with them...

Not to me it's not, it'll be too darned expensive. Probably $1500 to $2,000 over here.
