AeroJ - you are right that LGW open - I was given false information on this - sorry and thanks correction.

It seems that there were over 50 sightings of the drone(s). And I believe the airport is closed again. As to how to tackle this issue, maybe the UK should follow the Dutch and used trained birds of prey to catch the drones - a small environmental benefit at least.

Hi, Read extensively to try and understand battery handling/charging, especially on this site. I have a 4s 5400mah battery. I'm looking for a charger. If I understand it correctly then at 1C I need 5.4amps or more from a charger, and using watts=voltsxamps, for a 1c charge rate I need over...

Thanks again for taking trouble to respond and displaying your viewing shield. I accept FPV googles become yet one more piece of equipment. (I also worry if the lack of adjustment to focus might make them problematic should ones eyes have a different point of focus.)

Thanks for comment Rubik - I realise the screen is small - 7" - and probably poorish quality but at least it's bigger than many others. The biggest problem might be in spotting winter branches laying on my fencing. As an aside I wondered whether the Skyview FPV googles might be a good solution.

Love the horse suggestion!! Sheep are very robust and a real pain as they constantly try to sleep and crap on my drive. I deliberately go out and try to spook them. Eventually they become trained to stay off the drive. One of the advantages of the drone could be to spook them further. (An...

Again thanks for the pics, especially the latter ones and the time taken to give me an insight. Much appreciated. My conclusions from this is that maybe I'd go for views from the outside of the wood and canopy - in leaf the branches would be obvious, but in winter an odd branch here or there...

I have just discovered a video on dronesonvideo.com/intel-realsense-3d-camera-drone/ which shows RS being used to navigate through heavily wooded area. This is what I'd like. I thought this would be possible with the H Pro. It seems to ignore any need to fly above the canopy. It simply...

Thanks AH-1G for taking the trouble to post a pic. Image looks great, especially if the drone was at a lower altitude. My land have sheep on and the fencing is rather less obvious - but I feel that at the right altitude and distance from the fencing, given the sheep are white and so more...

Hi, With regards to Steve's helpful comments, I would say that I'd be out in the field and would want to go and check in detail should the camera info suggest an issue. Therefore I would not be looking at video after the fly past. It might just be that the usual video image is sufficient - but...

Thanks for replies. Regarding looking down above the trees - that's ok when no canopy, but for 6 months it may be too dense. I did wonder about telephoto/zoom lens as a solution so that I don't pass under trees. The idea of using IPS does sound interesting, and the altitude limit I do not...

Hi, I'm interested in using a drone (and I favoured the Typhoon H Pro) to monitor my perimeter fencing - for stuck sheep and fallen branches. The area totals around 30 acres. It's hilly. And the trees are mature deciduous - up to 80ft. The trees overhang the fencing - but are obviously not...

Hi, Just spent a few hours browsing your site and decided to join
