    ProRes Raw for x7 what about x5s

    Dont hold your breath pal. I have been sourcing old parts for a build this week and chasing lots of companies. EVERYONE is sick of their attitude in the UK and wishes they didnt have to deal with them. They never make decisions to look after us as a consumer, its all about the $ sadly

    ND4-ND8-ND16 polarpro or neewer?

    I would look at a good quality variable ND filter. There is a few out there now that are light enough to balance ok. As the saying goes though you get what you pay for so cheap filter may be just that. I have and use the polar pro's myself but i did not know when i purchased them that variable...

    Expert Opinion on Picture Quality

    Their certainly usable just not quite where they should be imho. 99% of the time a client certainly wouldn't notice and thats what counts.

    Expert Opinion on Picture Quality

    I know everything needs editing of course but these Dji units just do not perform as well as other cameras for stills. Someone new to editing etc may well pull their hair out trying to get something theyll never be able to achieve, i know i did when i first started using photos from the x5. Its...

    Expert Opinion on Picture Quality

    I wouldn't beat yourself up too much. The reality is everyone likes to pretend the photos from these cameras are great but they edit them to death to make them look decent. This cameras strength is video and photos need a good edit to shine.

    Expert Opinion on Picture Quality

    Pictures from the x5 are never brilliant and often good editing is why they look well. You cant beat a full size sensor for photos. My D5000 wipes the floor with our x5r photo wise.

    Wookong Controller advice wanted

    Thats good to hear, I was under the impression that all the old Dji stuff had to be controlled using the Bluetooth link and ground station app. I will have to do some more digging. I was told in could only do 50 waypoints at a time as well so maybe this i not true. My local repair centre said...

    Wookong Controller advice wanted

    That is definitely enough to put me off pal lol I could of had the drone for 300 quid but it wont work for me anyway as the old GSD only runs apple and only offers 50 ways points if i remember right :( If its too good to be true it usually is sadly ey...

    Wookong Controller advice wanted

    We are looking at getting a cheap RandD drone at the moment to test new cameras etc with and have been offered a Tarot 680 with a wookong system for very little money. However i have no idea if you can do proper mapping with this flight controller and wanted to ask if other people knew ? I...

    UK MOD restricts use of Drones on UK establishments

    I can well imagine MOD legislation Etc is slow and lumped into one category for all incorrectly. But the real ultimate risk in all of this is back door software you wont see surely? Correct me if i am wrong here but no-one gets access to Dji's software as far as im aware and even high level...

    UK MOD restricts use of Drones on UK establishments

    The reality is no-one truly understands Dji's systems well enough to class them as safe i think on a national security level. Honestly i do not blame them. Dji are very secretive and potentially linked to the Chinese government so from our governments point of view that is dangerous. It would...
