    SLR Magic 8mm f/4 Lens mounted on inspire x5r/ drone won't fly

    A while back I purchased a SLR Magic 8mm f/4 Lens and had issues - when it was mounted the inspire wouldn't fly, I had forgotten about that an the other day I did the same silly purchase again and again the inspire doesn't fly with this again. I cant remember the error, but I couldn't sort it...

    Inspire battery telling lies!

    sorry if this issue has been discussed, I just couldn't find a solution. I have one inspire battery that shows only two lights on the battery after charging, but in the app shows 90 something percent and the voltage seems ok? Can I trust this battery? are the battery lights correct or the App...

    Recommendations for a drone that could carry a mirrorless camera

    HI, thats cool! Please post info when you are allowed to. Will it let other cameras fly? or is it going to be sony only? (if you are allowed to say). does it actually fold up at all? I think the biggest selling point for me is being able to put the drone in a large backpack and climb a hill...

    Recommendations for a drone that could carry a mirrorless camera

    Hi Chris, how are you going? Yeah, I have been looking at them. The Alta Astro looks cool and in my budget (although cheaper would be nice), but im not sure what sony will decide it price is going to be. I also worry the sony will only control sony cameras and not canon cameras. I am on the...

    Recommendations for a drone that could carry a mirrorless camera

    Thanks for the info. There seem to be a few new options about to come out. the Alta Astro looks good, but not sure why the legs done retract- seems odd. do you think the s1000 is still ok to use? I know it doesn't sort out the carry to location issue, but they are real cheap and can carry a lot...

    Recommendations for a drone that could carry a mirrorless camera

    Can someone help me if I am missing a drone that actually exists... I am a still photographer that shoots advertising. I have considered getting a M600 so I can fly a small mirrorless camera as all the smaller drones (inspire etc) really don't do stills particularly well and restrict the use of...

    moving x5 to x5R? have sense?

    I moved from the x5 to the x5r. the video quality from x5's compressed codec to raw is like night and day. But be prepared for massive amounts of storage for it. but one big difference I also noticed is the x5r camera itself is quite a bit more heavier and slows dow the drone. Paul

    Shooting tracking car shots advice needed

    Thanks Steve. I have seen this in some youtube vids, but the examples are bad, the camera is miles away and seems out of control- except pointing at where the controller is. Can you still control aspects of the drone when in this mode, or is it completely autonomous? and can you have the camera...

    Shooting tracking car shots advice needed

    hi guys, I own a inspire 1 with an x5r. last year I shot some small TVC's for Volvo and one of the most promising techniques was to track a car, as if the drone was a camera car. I shot shots like these- But I have really struggled to keep the drone the same speed as the car, its very hit...

    DNG stills samples with 16mm anyone???

    Can someone please send me a couple of still DNG's files to look at too? I am a stills photographer that has an X5R , and I am happy with the raw video, but not that happy with the DNG stills. They are a little low on res, and quite "thin" when you lighten and darken, the raws fall apart very...

    how to point camera straight down?

    I know I should know this, and I am sure I have read about it. But how do i designate a button to make the camera point straight down when needed? I can obviously tilt the camera down, but I would like to short circuit this. cheers paul
