    The General Drone-Related Thread

    I too would now like to know this, had assumed they could be charged on AND off the drone but be good to clarify. I've been looking at the Jessops deal too! That or used Mavic Air, just don't know how restrictive the lack of RAW images on Spark would be...

    Canon EOS 80d Owners Thread

    £500 used in great condition. Had some big issues with front/back focusing and only just bought a dock. Thankfully that’s soeted it and now love it! Yes the 35mm is quite heavy but quality.

    Definitely a great choice! Recently bought a used Sigma 35mm Art and this is turning out to be a lovely combo

    Advice please... what's going wrong?

    Thanks for the input Scirocco, in hind sight I should have taken more time to compose the photo better. Very true! Will take some more time to see what's happening next time I'm out. I used to use BBF but switched back since getting the 80D, may have to use it again! Thanks for the ideas Chris

    Advice please... what's going wrong?

    100% on single point Just tried my 50mm 1.8, didn't see too bad. Switched back to the 24-105 and no issues with focus this time... frustrating.

    Advice please... what's going wrong?

    Hi again, I've just tested the lens with the following settings 70mm f4 Single point center focus on the second battery Tripod & 2 sec timer These 2 images were taken seconds apart, 1st one has focused correctly on the 2nd battery. 2nd is focused on the 1st battery. I thought if a lens was...

    Advice please... what's going wrong?

    Thanks for all the response guys. Does appear the pavement is slightly better focused than her face. I had the focus set to Zone AF instead of 1 point AF, not sure whether this would make a difference. Will test focusing tomorrow...

    Really appreciate the feedback Neil, thanks. Perhaps I'm expecting too much when zoomed in close. Had edited the image earlier and covered everything you suggested. Along with removing the blue sign above her head! Really like this edit now... IMG_1109-Edit by Ben Bailey, on Flickr

    Advice please... what's going wrong?

    Hi all, I popped out this afternoon in the hope of getting some nice candid shots of my daughter. The photos looked ok in camera and full view on computer but I got home to edit them and discovered they aren't very sharp at all, noisy and generally not clear when zoomed in. Gear and settings...

    Ah ok that's fine :) At least it has the alarm feature to warn if the pump fails.

    Water cooling build - Complete

    Ah I forgot to mention that! The pump comes with a little blue wire and plug. If I plug it into the controller it will measure the pump speed (about 4500rpm) But it isn't adjustable :\ Is this normal or can should I be able to adjust it? Would be handy if I could as it's the loudest part of...

    Water cooling build - Complete

    Scythe Fan Controller fitted and wired up! Currently controlling all 5 fans and measuring 1 temperature, which is the graphics card. Very pleased with it :) I'm currently running at a stable 4500MHz overclock. May increase it a little later on. Other than that, I think I'm pretty much done...
