I received my X5 body only this morning, ordered on the 1st Oct.

Hi all, it's been a while since these camera mods have been available, just wondered how useful they have been to you, and any crops that are working particularly well with this setup? Any advice to getting started in agricultural surveying?

Really interesting, I suppose they just worked then..? I'd be interested to see how stable it the shots are especially by the time you are using the 45mm. If you have any samples of these lenses, I'd really appreciate it even if they are not your finest hour I'd love to see how these lenses...

Great video's so far, I've just seen this video showing the 25mm lens on an X5: Is is interesting as it shows it may be able to work reasonably well out of the box with different lenses (within reason!) the 17mm and 25mm are both of real interest to me.

I know someone that got theirs on Friday, after waiting nearly 5 weeks from CAA submission... after a month and a little chasing by resource group it came through a week later.

Adrian, just worked out who you are! It's Baz, did a season at VC last year. Got yourself a proper quad then..! Lets go flying at some point. You have my email address...

Ha ha, yes well I realise it is a little experimental and unusual! I'll try it first on land etc when I am next travelling more than 100 miles or so I'll try and take off in Atti without calibrating, and see what happens. Maybe try it with the old phantom before the i1... My next problem is...

Very interesting, and thanks for the responses. So am I right in thinking, so long as I only use Atti, which I do anyway when flying from smaller boats then there is no need to worry about the compass? This solves many of my problems with the jobs I tend to do anyway! A lot of it is trying to...

Hi all, I have seen this question come up on other forums for phantoms etc but with no real answer, however not found anything on here. I have a conundrum, in that I have a potential job flying from a huge steel ship to survey stuff, but I need to be able to calibrate the compass. I will be...

Just want to confirm this too, I launched several times today from a small rib, power up was done with the boat rolling all over the place, then launch and recovery was done by hand. Absolutely no problems, wind was about 10-15kts you just have to take it slow on the approaches fine adjusting it...

Thanks!

I did try searching, Thanks for the link DaBone. Keywords bring up the many other threads on this forum that mention any part of this issue. I just needed to tell people, you'd rather that than I kept quiet? It was a TB47 incase there is some strange link.

Hi all, I experienced quite a scary phenomena last night flying the inspire. I was flying out about 500m away over water, minding my own business filming. Then on screen it just went blank, with the status going grey and saying disconnected. After nearly having a heart attack assuming it must...
