    ND filters - are they all the same?

    As the only time I would use an ND filter is for video I was not too concerned about clarity. A moving subject shot at 1/100 second or so will always be blurred.

    ND filters - are they all the same?

    Having tried a cheap ND filter I am cautious about what to by. This issue I saw was a colour shift due to infa red not being properly filtered. The effect I saw was that green of trees had a different colour profiles to green objects.... This made it impossible to get nice looking colours...

    UK Permission to fly within 150m of open air assembly

    As an observation, for two years running a drone ( inspire ) did film at one of the Henley regattas. They flew on opposite side of river to the crowds and mainly operated on a quieter section of the river. They did however fly slightly within 150m of a large crowd. They did not cover the whole...

    UK Adding to / changing an organisation's OM

    Bob, if you practise during company time on company property then this is not for commercial gain. Commercial gain involves a client of some description. You would however need to ensure your company insurance covered this situation as would your colleagues. You do not need CAA permission to...

    UK Adding to / changing an organisation's OM

    Hi I'm slightly curious as to why you are submitting an OM to the CAA. Surely if your company submitted the OM to the CAA and got a PFAW you just need to be added to this and their insurance. The OM will probably specify what training you need to do to be added as a pilot. You would need to...

    UK Whats The Point Of PFAW

    Crosscut, thanks for the Information notice link it clarifies the revised wording of "commercial operation, available to the public and Valuable consideration ( that I should have known ) nicely. Gary

    UK Whats The Point Of PFAW

    Quite agreed "valuable consideration" does not need to be monetary. One company at our ground school had written clarification from the CAA that they did not need PFCO while operating on their own land and filming for the companies own use. They were however taking the course for safety...

    UK Whats The Point Of PFAW

    The MOU uploaded by Cornscot clearly states CAA are responsible for investigating and prosecuting breaches of PFCO and commercial work without permission. So if someone is conducting commercial work without PFCO we should be reporting to the CAA. On the other side I believe the Hotel owner is...

    Firmware Upgrade Question - 1.6.00.40 to 1.10.1.40

    Just remember one of the FW updates required that you update the Aircraft before the remote. So you will need to make sure you update the Aircraft first.

    Will Inspire 1s become obsolete in 2018?

    FTOlino, I am another who is royally pissed off with DJI regarding the compatibility of X5 with Inspire 2, but not surprised. My concern is not about production stopping but availability of spares particularly for X5. Mine was just replaced under warranty and I do not have comfortable feeling...

    Any tips for cold weather?

    One issue photographers in general have is bringing cold equipment in to a warm room at end of day. You will get lots of condensation. The recommendation was to leave equipment in the bag and let it warm up slowly.

    X5 Lens Profile gone in latest Go App & Firmware Update

    Not sure if it is the same issue but it depends on power on sequence. I'm having to cycle remote and restart DJI Go after changing batteries. If I don't do this then Go does not recognise the lens properly..... effing annoying !!!

    OK. All I have found so far is a comment that they lost UK NQE accreditation.
