    UK Estate Agent Drone Photographer?

    errrr 'Port' I was just pointing out that it must be frustrating for those who do this type of work and also asking the Q 'What should one do?' Effectively he and his company is misrepresenting his business credentials for gain which actually I would have thought is illegal both here and in the...

    UK The dreaded "congested area"

    Thanks Editor I agree but wouldn't it be so much better if there wasn't the ambiguity for everyones sake?

    UK Estate Agent Drone Photographer?

    What does one do if you come across an Estate Agent advertising that their photographer is fully licenced and insured for UAV work? Their web site strangely makes no mention of it though shows lots of aerial images but their Facebook page shows generic pictures of 7-20kg rigs and that their...

    UK The dreaded "congested area"

    'Not directly overhead (at any height) or within 50 metres of persons, vehicles, vessels and property, unless those persons are 'under the control of the person in charge of the SUA'.' This is in the heading of CAP 1361 SUA operators list issued on the 4th August. It doesn't make any...

    45mm / Gimbal settings ?

    Thanks Gruvpix, Nice example image. Yes the stepup ring plus filter works perfectly to balance the 45mm. The 12mm needs either the vented hood or a filter to balance because at least on my gimbal the lens is a little back heavy. Im expecting to be able to calibrate both tomorrow. Cheers

    UK UK Night Flying

    CAP393 UK In paragraph (5) ‘day’ means the time from half an hour before sunrise until half an hour after sunset (both times exclusive), sunset and sunrise being determined at surface level. I think that this also applies to UAV flights. Please excuse me if that is not right.

    45mm / Gimbal settings ?

    I am primarily interested in shooting still images and have a 45mm Olympus lens that needs to be balanced. I have a lens hood on order and also a 37-46 step up ring so I can add a pola filter if required. Q - is there a preferred pola filter make (Hoya, b+w etc) for this lens on the X5? I have a...

    Switching cameras

    Morning. Quick Q if I may. I have the Inspire V1 and decided to upgrade to using the X5 with Olympus 12mm and 45mm lenses. All hardware installed and set up but do I install the x5 camera firmware or the Inspire Pro firmware through the SD card or are they both the same? Im using my...
