    x5s Sensor issue?

    Thank you both for the reply. I will look into the Vibration Isolation mount, sounds promising!

    x5s Sensor issue?

    Hey all, Just wondered if anyone has seen this issue before, as I am little concerned it might be a sensor issue... At first I thought it was just a bad signal creating the artifacts and wierd lines until I watched back on the original files and sadly they were still there. I have never...

    Help needed! X5S camera owners in Atlanta

    Very disappointed this hasn't been released, the inspak x5 for the i1 was such a perfect case, such a brilliant design, and very good quality. How are people getting on with the GPC backback? I was thinking of getting one. the only other alternative is a china special for £70 delivered which...

    UK EuroUSC have had their NQE status revoked by CAA

    This is not a surprise really. Whilst my dealings with them were very good in the beginning, I nearly fell into the trap of renewing with them (it was actually comments from "The Editor" which swayed me away, so thank you for that Mark). They also offered an insurance incentive with this as well...

    UK CAA SUA Fees

    How interesting and I bet they still keep a handful of staff to do anything. I have night permissions on my PFCO now, so this will be interesting if I actually get charged to renew this next year. Maybe they have joined Euro USC and had advice about charges.

    X5 Camera poor quality

    That must have been so frustrating, and also dis-heartening, but as you were using the Olympus 12mm lens, its always best to put it in manual and not worry about calibration, focus to infinity on the lens itself and leave it like that. Sweet spot is f5.6 and f11 and higher you start to see...

    Noise in X5R footage, ISO 100

    No matter what setting you have LOG, CineD etc, this will have absolutely no affect on the RAW files. It only affects the video recorded to the SD card.

    A simple After Effects work flow

    Yes I hope so too, working with Camera Raw is much better than anything I can get from Resolve or the Lumetri panel in Premier.

    UK CAA PFAW Application (New) Process

    I hope so!! otherwise I`m screwed. People were getting them in 3 weeks just before I put mine in for renewal. This time last year it took 11days for a new application.

    UK Renewing PFAW with the CAA

    When I went to do the renewal it was roughly about 3 weeks people were getting their PFAW. I wonder what's happened for the delays to be so long suddenly, was this direct with the CAA you got this info Mark?

    UK Renewing PFAW with the CAA

    Best of luck with your second year of commercial UAV operation, and also with the contract you have been awarded. It has suprised me how many people drop off from any renewal because I think many expect to suddenly find loads of work the second they get their PFAW, and this is certainly not the...

    Finally Filters I'm happy with

    Used your code Richard and bought a 4 stop to try. Perfect grade ND to give me 1/50 at 5.6 in bright conditions which is the sweet spot for the 12mm. Quality is first class as well, absolutely no colour cast at all, highly recommended.

    DJI Zenmuse X5R Review

    Nice review, I was on the fence with the X5r for a while wondering if I really needed RAW, but took the plunge and made the purchase, and what I have been capturing from it lately truely is outstanding. My workflow is so slow copying the files over, but once copied over, its a breeze to grade.
