    Olympus 45mm on X5 and balancing

    If the X5S is anything like the X5 or X5R then the camera should be balanced ok on the pitch axis for the 15mm with the balance ring and lens hood on. If you add an ND Filter, it'll be out of balance, unless you remove the hood... which is what I used to do. On the X5R, I've found the 15mm lens...

    X5 D-Log not showing Zebra Stripes

    I have this issue too and have seen people mention it before. Does your focus peaking work properly in dlog, mine barely does. I'm on a much older firmware though.

    Autopilot vs. Litchi

    I've never used Litchi, but what I can tell you is that Autopilot has worked continuously, without a hitch, on both my Inspire 1 Raw and Mavic for a long time. I believe (going off of other people experiences) that there is a much steeper learning curve with Autopilot, however, as I said I...

    Hoping you guys can help I need some critical criticism on my video take 3 minutes of your day!

    What really helped me when editing together non-narrative collages, was trying to keep the movement flowing shot-to-shot in regards to direction, gently changing it, not suddenly cutting to movement in a completely different direction. This can be copter movement but also movement within the...

    DJI announcement Oct 11 - new camera system?

    Yep, definitely the X7. Somebody at DJI "accidentally" posted the video on their official vimeo today and then took it down a few minutes later. The X7 doesn't look like the horrible leaked image I mentioned a few posts up. Full frame. Lens looks weird though, need more info I won't be buying...

    DJI announcement Oct 11 - new camera system?

    There's just been a leaked photo on Facebook of a new camera attached to the I2. Along with the patent for the x7 I think that's what we are getting. However, I hope the leaked image is fake as the camera is **** ugly. Like a huge x3

    Today I shot...

    Thought I'd share the little film we shot earlier this year in Iceland. It was **** tough flying in those conditions and we simply couldn't get most of what we had planned due to weather, but it still worked out I think. No real story, just a collection of pretty things we happened upon during...

    UK Questionable Job

    As Editor said, this is UK and there are different rules. I understand the that google maps etc all have satellite images, you can photo from an aircraft etc. My main worry with this was: A) I was fully aware that the property owner would not give me permission to fly, and I needed that...

    Motor Noise

    Did you by any chance update your prop mounts?? If these are the newest mounts, same as the ones on the I2, then the issue is just DJIs bad QC. The red prop mounts do not fit the red props correctly and there is play. Causes the noise in your video. I bet your red prop pushes on incredibly...

    UK Questionable Job

    Very good point. Yeah, I turned it down. I don't offer surveying, mapping or anything of the sort so this didn't occur to me until mentioned. It initially sounded like a very simple photography job. Thanks for all of the responses guys.

    UK Questionable Job

    Yep, I've turned it down. I didn't feel 100% on it and it just wasn't worth a risk for the return I'd get.

    UK Questionable Job

    Thanks Editor, My main worry I guess was the data acquisition, as inevitably she will see the photo eventually. If she questions how it was obtained and states that she didn't give permission I just didn't want any comeback on me. I'm not really sure on taking photos of people's back gardens...
