Cheers AJ,  I thought I should walk on a ND32 and go and test them.

Fiddly at first but there is a technique to putting them on/off and you can leave one on the lens and still use the gimbal protector.

Im expecting to loose one within a week of flying with them.

They clip on really well but if you hit something I'm fairly confident it will come off and at 59 quid for the 3 they aren't exactly cheap (if you can even find a set to buy now).

Mine twist on with friction,  if you pull at them they will come off.

Did you get DJI ND's or another make?

I got a different make.

I see - yeah, the DJI ones clip on but have to be removed from pulling quite hard on the corner

That does sound better indeed.

I hope I don't lose any as you literally can not buy them anywhere in the UK right now. One guy was going nuts about it on another thread.

Love that marshy land and the reflections. Problem with speeding up fpv footage is that it tends to get jerky.

Nice flying and lovely footage DA.    That's a great location for low flying and speed for sure.

These came from from China in about 5 days so not too bad,  now I find that all my footage from yesterday has the wrong date/time on it,  seems the goggles are terrible at keeping time.

Thats true Depp,  just trying to not make the videos too long.

That's odd - it is on China's time?

I've just checked the forum and Im not the only one, someone else has noticed their goggles are loosing time.

Looks like a firmware update is needed!

Watching Mads tech the other day and apart from his shredding DJI over the RC3 he was really surprised there wasnt an update for the Avata2/.goggles already.

I'll check him out - I've probably come across him but don't recognise the name.

This is one of his videos,.  he's the guy that uses a radio analyser to find out the ham file still worked but not the same as before.

Ah yes, I remember him - bit of a tech wizard from back in the day. I'll take a look

Nicely flown!

Ok, I did a 2 day catch up tonight.
After skipping one yesterday.

Fair enough Peter,    going forward do you plan to keep up to date?

Montfrooij Posted at 5-21 10:44

Thanks,  that was just a fast low mess about.

Until the next thing sets you back.

Indeed.
Just like that.
But the floor guy is booked.
Which is nice.

Floors are usually the last thing you do, so you must be getting close to moving back in.

Yup. First getting the paintjob done.
But I already started, so that won't be a problem.

Well I bit the bullet on a job Ive been putting off for nearly a year,     We have white skirting in the hall that has a red/brown stain on it,  my guess was there was some metal in there rusting.     So Ive finally cut out around the stain and found a rusty screw in there and managed to remove,  now I have to sand and repaint the entire length.
