Its been on the cards for a while now. The mis information to ban or register all drones is about to begin. Big brother only wants his eyes in the sky not the sheep

I wonder how long before Hollywood depicts drones/quads with a film about Terrorists using them to kill people, threatening national security? Not long I suspect!

UK government doesn't want anyone other than themselves up there filming. Big brother at its best. The UK is the most watched people on earth.

You're country need more than tin foil hats the way it's losing its freedoms so quickly. Extravagant mmmmm doesn't need to be really does it?

we don't know that it wasn't a government plant to introduce more restrictions either.

I feel you have missed my post a little. My cynicism was directed towards big brother being worried about having someone else up there watching.

Being an older part of this quad copter forum it seems that the ruling powers are going to force legislation either severely restricting or banning quads/drones in the UK. As in the USA the media hype any minor incident and there seems to me, possible orchestrated 'incidents' especially...

Thanks old chap I will get the runcam and start experimenting with the mounts. I suppose these 2axis gimbal mounts are too heavy for the x8?

I want to upgrade my camera on a x8c. It has to cheap with a home made anti jello mounting, I was thinking of a runcam or similar with a credit card mount. Any other ideas?

Have you put the correct rotor blade on? Check you haven't bent the mainshaft (I did) as this will prevent rotor spinning fast enought.

Mike I'm a beginner and not too sure of the cameras you're suggesting. Where can I see them or buy them etc?

Ok. Not sure other than removing camera etc to lower weight. Hints?

Thanks mike will knock that idea on the head. Can you upgrade motors on the x8w to give better or more durable usage?

I can't find the batteries. I found 250ap but are 20c are these the ones?

Thanks. Are they more expensive than the stock 2000m batteries?
