You're right there, I am not a very good example of health and safety, comes with being 72 years old and growing up in the 50's and 60's when risk was a part of life. But you are right when you point that out. Thanks for your comment, Have a good Christmas. Regards, Tony.

I'm glad I bought it back, when you do a conversion like that it always feels like it's yours.

You're welcome.

I am assuming the drone, went down to zero mbs in the end.

Hi Mark, been away all week, sorry for late reply. I have'nt done anything to the drone or controller, I think it was just that it was never more than about 150ft from the ground, it was just a lot higher than where I set off from. It was great though controlling it using the goggles, a lot cheaper than a pilots license 😀

@@tonkennah Tell me about it! I'm a licensed helicopter pilot and this is a LOOOOOOOOT cheaper 😀Just wondering how do you make sure you're keeping it less than 120m from the ground when the height shown in DJI software is the height from the takeoff point? Is it just a visual thing that you learn to do? Cheers.

@@MarkBowenPiano i" Tell me about it! I'm a licensed helicopter pilot ££££ " as for keeping it less than 120m from the ground , in two words, educated guess 😀 I must admit I tend to do more lower level flying now since getting the goggles, I think it is visually better and more interesting to look at as well,

@@tonkennah Yes that makes sense. Still to take mine out anywhere as learning in Tryp FPV first trying to get my head around manual mode so I'll hopefully be a lot safer for my first flight!! Got my Flyer ID first time 40/40 last night so that was nice. Not exactly the same sort of level of questions as passing a PPL(h) though 🙂

@@MarkBowenPiano It's a lot easier than it looks, the motion controller is great, I used it in my last 4 YT videos, can't see me going back to the normal controller now.

questo non si traduce bene :-)

I could count the clear nights on one hand over the last 4 months 🙄

@@tonkennah We get sprinkling some times even when it's clear because the winds headed our way get lifted by steep cliffs forming clouds and taking some of that rain to us in clear skies. I cuss hehehe

Cheers for that Rog, did the same and still have'nt got any images off my " real telescope " yet🙂 to much effort to set up if it's a bit cloudy but the seestars take a couple of minutes .

never, love that drone more since I got the goggles, in fact I have just bought myself an Akai APC Key 25 mk2 Keyboard Controller to make my own background music, ( and i'm learning Guitar :-)

They are good though, easier than trying to level the tripod. And handy on a block of wood 😀

Hi Simon, I know what you mean, the hub motors are quite a lot cheaper though, I did scrap this bike and rebuilt the electrics in a new one ( see my other bike video ) I am part way through putting a 1000w front hub as well on this one, and larger hydraulic disc breaks as well, two batteries, ( same size ) and two seperate throttles, twist and lever. will put a video up when it's finished.

​​​@@tonkennahyes I have an engwe engine x with a 2 battery setup and balancer kit as well as a power analyser wired in too. It's supposed to be a 250w UK legal ebike but when you do the maths it's anything but. 48v x 20amps and you have 960w of peak power. I also have a Kona fire mountain Mtb with a 17" frame and 27.5 wheels which I plan to install a yose 350w rear hub and use as a daily driver. Slightly above the regulations but what I like about it is the controller is Incorporated into the battery frame so it's all nice and tidy plus they're cheap and quite reliable. I'd save a fortune on petrol as its a 20 mile round trip every day!

@@simonjohnhinton1938 That looks like a great bike, I'm retired now so no work run to use the bike on, fun runs only now 🙂

Thank you Mr Jeff👍

They are great, fourth year with it this year. And it's been outside all that time ( with a tarp over it in the winter )

I'm sure there is, there must be someone in the club that has done that with Seestar files already i'm sure.

I don't think so, they seem to still sell out within a day or so whenever the shops get them in stock.

@@tonkennah can’t find anywhere in Europe where I can buy it :(

I got my 2 from here, bookmark this website and check it every morning, they seem to get about 50 in then in 24/36 hours they have sold out, or put your name on their waiting list to guarentee one when they come in stock. I'm not sure they ship out of the UK. www.firstlightoptics.com/beginner-telescopes/zwo-seestar-s50-all-in-one-smart-apo-telescope-tripod.html

Thanks for that, like I said I am new to this hobby and there is so much to learn in the processing stage.

Hi, I tried stacking fit's from the two scopes of the same object yesterday, and the difference between one stack and two stacks wasn't that great, going to experiment a bit more today and will post a video of my results .

You're very welcome, you can't take it with you, or no pockets in a shroud as my Granny used to say 😂😂

And the same to you 👍

Thanks Jim, I do have a Sky-Watcher Evostar 72ED DS ,Az-GTI-mount, -Az-GTI-mount wedge with other bits but setup is a bit of a pain, next full clear night I will get all three out.

thanks, I will get twice the data at least .

Really just buy it, you won't regret it, the software is fantastic and easy to use, tells you what are the best targets for your location each night.

As you can see, i'm not in the first flush of youth myself :-) am I right in thinking the Dwarf 2 does EQ ? obviously the Seestar doesn't .

I need to get organised more and work out in the afternoon what targets and how long for each, been just flitting around from one to another.

​@@tonkennahcuiv the lazy geek shows how to put the dwarf 2 in equatorial mode it's a good little scope and the details are pretty amazing what comes out of it guess that's what the 8.4 mp does for resolution although seestar might be a bit better just cause of the aperture alone

@@theenergeticturtle9489 roundabouts and swings I suppose 🙂

We had a great clear night here last Tuesday, I should have stayed out longer and made the most of it( did 4 hrs ) didn't forecast it though so wasn't really prepared. Great fun though the seestar,, and so easy to use and quick to set up, my other gear takes ages to set up, but should give me better results, I still haven't used it yet 🙄

Hi, I had a direct line of sight all the way ( if I was Superman :-) even when it lost signal on the ridge I think it was high enough, but I am always willing to be proved wrong, so maybe a better distance test would be to start at the top of the ridge and fly in the reverse direction ( no 400mtr ascent as well ) either way battery life would restrict to much further travel ( for a safe return) and like I said it is far enough away for me so I am happy with it at that distance. Cheers, Tony.

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠This is why I mentioned the Fresnel radius - at 1900m out you pass a ridge in close proximity to the Fresnel radius of your radio link, likely causing some further attenuation and contributing to link loss

@@babc142 I'll absolutely take your word for that !!😀

Hi Adrian, everything is straight out of the box here in the UK, I have'nt done any modifications to any of the kit. Sorry I can't be more of a help. Regards, Tony.

Doesn't seem to be a problem with mini 4 pro availability in the UK

Hi John, no I don't, I haven't done any research as to if it makes for a stronger signal through trees etc, if it just allows me to go a bit further I'm not that bothered . 1.6 miles is far enough for me but a stronger signal through obstacles would be welcome.

Thanks Mark, You should put a video up of your model making, thanks for subscribing.

That's the best comment I have ever had , thank you very much. Regards, Tony.

I do yes, still working fine.

Hi Mario, I must admit I much prefer the motion controller and goggles to the remote, I have briefly tried the head tracking but I would need a lot of practice before I had any confidence in that mode, bit like patting your head and rubbing your stomach at the same time 🙂 .If you see my video over the reservoir you will see I get about just under a metre above the water, bit risky but I could never do that with rhe rc n1 . Hope this helps.

I do and I did 😃 thank you very much for your comment.

An app to do what ? sorry I don't understand the question.

Hi, it is in CE mode here in the UK, I didn't notice any lag and like I have said I was on 55% battery so even with a better signal I wouldn't have been able to go much further and get back safely.

I love all of it, much prefer flying with the goggles Integra and the motion 2 controller, I can fly a lot lower now in safety than with the rc controller, they are both different drones really, Avata is more for fpv, and the mini 3 pro for more cinematic. You can get the fpv feel and look in your videos with the mini 3 pro using head tracking on the glggles. Personally I would go for the 4 pro and the Goggles Integra but it is each to their own .

Appreciate the response. This was my logic too just so overwhelmed with what i want and the option. The air itself is crazy too. The mini 4 pro does not have access with integrate yet but ill go with that option. Thanks @@tonkennah

I didn't realise it didn't have compatability with the mini 4 pro, seems like a daft situation , maybe a different control frequency ? they might want us to buy a different set of goggles for every drone 🙂@@oFamZy

they really inspire confidence right away I found. Probably because of the clear picture in the goggles

Same here, with my normal controller, no goggles and a direct line of sight I only got 1.4 miles, to be honest, I was on 55% battery when it lost the signal and it was against the wind coming back so I was getting ready to turn back anyway. As you say the battery is the limiting factor as well. So over all I am happy with 1.6 miles, still a bit scary when you have 700 quids worth of drone all the way up there on the moors !!

With Dji Integra ?

I got 1.4 miles max with the rc controller, and 1.6 miles max with goggles integra. Both with direct line of sight with no obstacles.

Do you have the FCC Mod?

I am ok with the 1080p, I usually have the mini on 2k to edit easier, would like a firmware update though to use the DJI RC as an option ( officially ) .

Merci pour votre gentil commentaire, Pour les cornes j'ai utilisé des brochettes de viande assez épaisses coupées et arrondies aux bords (j'espère que google translate fera du bon travail :-)

@@tonkennah Google a fait un excellent travail. Détails très précis. Merci beaucoup.😊

Hi Steve, tou can probably tell I live in a very hilly area of the country, to be honest that is the reason I wanted something with a bit more power ( hence buying the HONDA XL250 MOTOSPORT you can see in my other video ) To be honest I would have kept it if I lived in a less hilly area, and even thought about upgrading it with a bigger bore upgrade but the power increase didn't seem like it was worth the effort, someone might say the opposite if they have done it. Long and the short of it they are great fun nipping in and out of traffic never having to think if you're in the right gear ( I don't mean Parka and Doc Martins 🙂) you will have a blast on it honestly.

@@tonkennah thanks Tony for replying ,good info ,where I live is west lancs so pretty flat but hills not far off like the Trough of Bowland, I was thinking of riding the Fylde district which is flat as a pancake but beautiful....I'll still get it ,you mentioned a possibility of making it slightly more powerful ,would it be worth ,I'm no expert on bikes but can anything be done with carburettor etc ...anyway it certainly looks like a lot of fun...yeah I won't be wearing Parker or target on my back although I am a big fan of Paul weller ,kinda mod I think...Brill info thanks

Thanks Kevin, just use a bit more "health and safety" 🙂
