    For cold outdoors here is a mitten project for your lipos.

    nice idea, but surely it would be more effective with the foil layer on the inside surface facing the battery? (although it probably makes little difference and the foil looks neat on the outside..)

    Foam Cutting Companies in UK

    plick and pluck a new set - the foam is pretty cheap direct from peli - then use loads of plastidip spray to firm up and protect the foam after you've cut it all out. On my 1630 case I used 4 cans of matt black and then finished with a can of glossifier (£60 off ebay inc a trigger handle)...

    Inspire 1 Raw fell from the sky -- what the hell happened?

    I suppose retrieval of the drone is absolutely out of the question? I applaud your considered response to DJI and I await their response.

    You don't not want to be paying attention with an X5R!!

    Squeaky bum moment there!

    Inspire 1 Raw fell from the sky -- what the hell happened?

    Combination stick command - kills the motors, gravity does the rest. An emergency stop function - initiated by both sticks being brought down and towards the centre - wondering why your healthydrones log shows no command entries? Did you edit it?

    X5 - best video settings for BBC

    Hi I've got a little job to do locally for a BBC report - I'm currently on the latest firmware - what are the best video settings going to be - I'll be supplying the video to their production team straight out of the camera - I know there have been complaints in the past about D-Log. I've also...

    UK Commercial Viability

    And in my area there are people charging £40 to do aerial photo shoots. And they appear to be CAA certified. The race to the bottom didn't take long. When will people learn about what makes a sustainable business?

    Intermittent transmission loss

    Take a look up into the mount the contacts should all be straight but they're easily bent - don't worry if they are the contact board is easily replaced

    Intermittent transmission loss

    Is it possibly a contact issue - the contacts at the gimbal drone joint are delicate and can easily get bent out of shape when attaching / detaching the gimbal

    YouTube duff advise

    When he crashes he can buy another. And another. Unfortunately he has a far larger following than this site, and his 'advice' will be soaked up by many impressionable youngsters. I wish the CAA would reach out to him, feel his collar so to speak, but then encourage him to do the training (daddy...

    Pre programmed flight for mapping with inspire v2

    Map pilot is very good at this, and their processing costs if you choose to use it aren't ridiculous. I've heard good reports of Drone Deploy also.

    RTH crash :( R.I.P Inspire Pro

    I'll just add - I experienced a similar issue yesterday using map pilot app - first battery warning at 30% so I initiated RTH (you do this in Map Pilot to be able to restart a mission) i then switched to P and flew the aircraft to my chosen landing point perhaps some 10-15 metres from the...

    HealthyDrones insane pricing plans

    If you don't want to pay then don't subscribe - vote with your wallet and take your money elsewhere, or develop your own solution. As I see it he's developing a rapidly changing platform with a short life cycle why should he not be compensated for the hundreds of hours he puts into it? Any...
