    GPS overlay

    Hi guys, In need of some rather urgent help. A client wants to shoot flood damage to roading and needs an overlay or some easy way to correlate a video to an actual location. His thoughts were to overlay a GPS location on screen (recorded) so that when they spot road damage they can take note of...

    How to drain a battery to 5%?

    Just wondering how everyone else are managing their batteries. The app keeps asking to cycle a full battery drain below 5%. How does one drain the battery safely? I tried hovering to get rid of the last of the power and @ 30% it shot off to climb out ready to perform a RTH misson which I...

    New Zealand Pilots?

    Hi kiwidrone, good to hear it's all going well but before it doesn't I suggest you join and login to airshare.co.nz and check out the rules. You must stay within line off site during all of your flight in New Zealand. Stay safe

    No Fly Zone - revisit?

    NEED to fly in a NO-FLY zone

    We have a large industrial park around our local airport and the Tower is happy to authorise flights for aerial imagery.. I take it that the new firmware will stuff this up? Is there no work around for this crazy lock down?

    Manual Exposure Lock ?

    Hi Guys, Having a fairly good time with my machine (aside from the ever present GPS/Compass issue) Today I was filming and I thought Id set my exposure manually with the ND filter attached. However the actual exposure continued to wander up and down during the flight. Anyone with ideas as to...
