    Cobra, Rest in Peace

    Wow I've only just seen this. Such sad news, Chris was always the level head in many disagreements he'll be deeply missed.

    Gopro or dji

    The dji action 4 does look better on paper and in most reviews, but there's been reports of overheating problems as well. It's this which bothers me more, as I'm expecting around 40c highs. Is over heating really that much on an issue? I guess once it's cooled down you're good to go again...

    Flying with batteries

    Has anyone flown with camera batteries? I'm going away and plan to take my eos m as I don't want to cart my 5d mkiii around on holiday. I know there's strict rules around batteries. I've checked my allowance and I'm all good there. This issue is I have some 3rd party ones that don't have...

    Gopro or dji

    I'm looking for an action camera for an upcoming holiday. Will be used for snorkeling so will be buying waterproof housing, and also some vlogging type filming. I'm really torn between which one to buy, as there's so many mixed reviews out there. Has anyone got hands on experience, and are...

    Tons of high-end studio kit up for auction

    Not sure what went down there but everything is marked as unsold. Unless there were stupid reserve prices on everything, who knows?

    Sending Sold Camera Bag/s?

    Rubble sacks maybe, they're like extra strong black bags.

    Cutting granite at home.

    A tricky one with it in place. I've cut plenty of tiles in my 19 years in the business including granite, but nothing as thick as a worktop. A wet cut is really needed and dust should be minimal, it's just very messy with the sludge it makes. Have a look at rubi tools they make a rail saw, but...

    The General Drone-Related Thread

    Thanks, I think I'm more worried that come a few months time the apps may change and have sticker restrictions limiting your flights. This whole CE drone thing is going to be interesting anyhow. That's a European mark and as we'll no longer be in Europe will it still stand[emoji849]

    The General Drone-Related Thread

    I've been considering buying a drone as I think I'd use it more than my dslr and it may encourage me to get out more again. Would I be better waiting though now with all of the changes due? I don't want to invest 1k+ to not then be able to use it in a matter of months. Any advice would be great.

    North England 'Street' togs.

    We used to have quite a good group on here from Leeds /Yorkshire. They have all sadly moved over to Facebook now from what I believe. I don't have an account so lost touch with them.

    Fine batteries for speedlights

    I use 7dayshop batteries as well. Not too sure what is going on with them though. Hardly anything on the site now, loads out of stocks. Looks like they could be struggling to me almost on verge of closing down sadly. I'm planning on some IKEA ones next time.

    Air Con Bomb Cleaner

    I've been considering this. https://www.valetingproducts.co.uk/product/fog-it3 Enough to do every car in the street but appears to be a good solution, even freshens your upholstery to some degree I'd think.
