It was interesting to see the Africa special Top Gear this week reveal their Octacopter (DJI S800) and to see it was a GH2 on the Zenmuse.

Another day and another user reporting a fly-away meeting with DJI denials this can happen. Also, from a few days ago, I noticed an RC forum member pointing out failure reports are coming from experienced quad flyers.

At the extreme you could make a room more covert with a hidden door or go for something simpler like an IP CCTV camera which alerts your mobile phone to movement. Be warned, the following video is cheese factor 10, as no police force is going to respond to a text.

I appreciate aerial photography here is a crossover subject, i.e. it's half RC flying, half photography, but I'd appreciate discussing matters here as I believe DJI sponsor some RC flying forums (so could undermine or ask for deletions of negativity) and so I'm hoping here I can discuss aerial...

It's interesting to see how police are using Twitter and now even Soundcloud. They are uploading idiots that dial 999 (which should be for life and death incidents), including a man calling up as the service at the McDonald's drive through is too slow: https://soundcloud.com/westmidlandspolice...

I must admit, given you can't get Edelkrone gear at a decent price in the UK, I'd be tempted to buy one of these myself, I doubt Edelkrone will be happy though as they have a patent pending, which I suspect may mean the sale of these clones is soon stopped. Spot the difference...

Priced for a quick sale, Voigtlander Nokton 25mm F0.95 Micro Four Thirds lens which has been declicked (which costs £70) by the Lens Doctor, the same guy Philip Bloom uses for his lens repairs and declicking: http://philipbloom.net/2012/01/26/declick/ Selling for £499 and I'll even include...

I'm hoping someone will say this isn't a problem and tell me how to solve it, but I think I'm going to be out of luck. My GH3 was being used with a battery in the body, working fine. Next day I try and turn it on and nothing. I attached the battery grip with a new battery and then it powered...

Live at The Cockpit in Leeds England - using GH2/GH3 SLR Magic 12mm T1.6 & 35mm T1.4 I braved the SLR Magic T1.4 on the GH3 for a live gig amongst the audience, whilst having a GH2 on stage with the SLR Magic 12mm, I also had a GoPro Hero3 on the Roland Keyboard, but that let me down, the...

I've just got my hands today on the brand new DJI Phantom Quadcopter and the Go Pro Hero 3 Black Edition. [See update below, I was hoping to post a positive review of my time using the Phantom, it's a nice concept but the GPS mode is erractic] Here's a taster from some recent video posted to...

It's definitely better than the camera, the peaking and 1:1 functions help get the focus right. It has a focus assist too, which can help but it's too overwhelming (see it in action below), I asked SmallHD to add a transparency feature to the effect but they said they had no plans to do so (I...

I've found a few sellers on eBay selling Dell & HP servers, I got a dual Xeon 8GB server for a mere £300 and alarmingly it's a similar performance to my dual Xeon 24GB Mac Pro 2009. For the record the 2009 was very much the same spec as the 2010, in fact you can firmware flash a 2009 Mac Pro...

The image above looks general blurry so it's hard to judge, here for example F0.95, we have a full power club parcan on it's way down to tilt towards the GH2 with the Nokton and there's not a lot of light issues going on (to my eyes, if I'm missing something please correct me), compared to the...

You're confusing my lens comments, I'm happy with the 12mm, I used it as a second angle for the test above and it didn't show the rainbow effect above for example (groovy though that is). I use lenses at night, the reason I got a Voigtlander to begin with, what I want to see of a review, if...

Oh I see, no worries.

Maybe I've put that down to lens character, then again I see more obvious character issues with the SLR Magic. I like quirks and character, I was asked by a mate if I'd been playing about with Video Copilot optical flares for my recent SLR Magic 35mm T1.4 first go, I hadn't so it saved me some...

Is that a made up example above or a real actresses details? Usually with databases you're required to treat the data within it with some degree of confidence. For scripts, it you want a proper website solution check out the likes of http:www.hotscripts.com or http://sourceforge.net/ I...

You can tell Christmas has left me skint as I'm going through any camera gear I'm not currently using and putting it on eBay. All funds going to the post January electricity and HMRC tax bills. I've just listed the following, as always I've checked eBay first in an attempt to list below other...
