With iKydz Internet Controller, you can easily control all of the above and more.  No more worrying about loaning them your mobile phone, ipad, laptop or desktop computer.  Simply connecting the devices they use to the iKydz wifi network will control what they can view and for how long.

All of this while leaving you access to the full-blown internet with no restrictions.  You can manage the devices they use individually and set different parameters for each device separately.

Eg)  Lets say you have three children, each with their own internet connected device.  You could set device 1 to not have any internet access at all.  Device 2 to have limited internet access that you have chosen at times that you have also chosen, ie, switch off automatically after 9pm.  Device 3 could have limited internet 24/7.  And you can control over 200+ devices, all with separate parameters.

DJI Osmo+ / DJI OSMO Plus available to buy in the UK

DJI Osmo+ / DJI OSMO Plus

So, DJI have just announced their OSMO+ or OSMO Plus whichever way around you want to describe it.  The OSMO+ now has the zoom version of the Zenmuse X3 camera which is (as we write) available on the standard OSMO but no doubt will become discontinued in favour of the OSMO+.

DJI OSMO+ / OSMO Plus

DJI OSMO+ / OSMO Plus

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It follows the relase of the Z3 camera which has also just been announced by DJI which is available for the Inspire 1.  Sadly, the Z3 camera for the Inspire 1 won’t be compatible with the original OSMO, so if you want a zoom camera for your OMSO, you’re going to need to buy the OSMO+ or the OSMO+ version of the camera if and when it becomes available as a spare part.

We were hoping that a simple firmware upgrade might make the Z3 compatible for existing OSMO owners but after a brief chat with DJI, this is unlikely to be the case.

So, what’s new with the OSMO+ I hear you say?

Well, the biggest improvement is the 3.5x optical zoom and a 2x digital lossless zoom giving it a focal length ranging from 22mm to 77mm without sacrificing HD quality.

Osmo+ also helps you record stunning moving timelapses by simply marking where you want the camera to go during the tiimelapse and pressing Start.

You can get your DJI OSMO+ right here at Hobby Mounts by following the link below…

Yuneec Typhoon H – UK Review

Yuneec Typhoon H – UK

Yuneec Typhoon H UK

Yuneec Typhoon H UK

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, the Yuneec Typhoon H has been around for a couple of months now and we’ve been putting it through its paces and comparing it to the competition, ie, the Phantom 4.  In this blog post we’ll tell you some of the pro’s and con’s of each machine and what they mean for you as a flier, videographer, photographer.

The Yuneec Typhoon H on first glance has some hardware you won’t find on the Phantom 4 which are very useful in terms of safety but also in functionality.

First up, you’ll notice the Typhoon H is a Hexacopter; meaning it has 6 propellers rather than the 4 found on the Phantom 4.  This is a very important difference and not just a visual thing.  Having 6 propellers means the Typhoon H has an element of redunancy in terms of motor failure, esc failure or propeller failure and will happily fly on just 5 motors/propellers.

If in the unfortunate event you do suffer from a failure of this kind, you’re very likely to save your Typhoon H from a fate worse than death!

Secondly, the Typhoon H has retractable landing gear giving you the ability to shoot video safe in the knowledge that you won’t get the landing legs in shot, ruining your video clip or photo.

Thirdly, the camera and gimbal can spin continuously either clockwise or anti-clockwise in a 360 rotation with variable speed control.  Even the DJI Inspire 1 doesn’t have this feature.  This is absolutey awesome when shooting panoramic video and it doesn’t require manual flight control with a super steady thumb to control the yaw action, unlike the Phantom 4.

That’s the obvious observations from a quick glance at the Typhoon H but there’s more, much more.

When you take a look at the remote control transmitter, the first thing you’ll notice is the built-in 7″ touchscreen Android tablet.  No need to spend an extra pile of cash on buying a dedicated tablet to view what the camera sees or change settings; it’s included in the price and combined within the Yuneec Typhoon H’s remote control transmitter.

Another great feature of this awesome remote control is the built-in HDMI output.  On the Phantom 4 this is an optional extra but on the Typhoon H it is part of the remote and allows output of the screen to a secondary HDMI monitor.

You’ll also get an in-car battery charger and a neck strap, again an optional extras on the Phantom 4 but completely free in the kit with the Typhoon H.

The only downside to the Yuneec Typhoon H Hexacopter at the moment is the UI or software that allows you to change settings while flying.  DJI have nailed it here and have a much better user interface.  Yuneec are actively improving the firmware, adding features regaularly so this is something that will be short-lived and I’m sure Yuneec will have software and UI that is on par with DJI offfering at the moment.

If you would like to know more about the Yuneec Typhoon H Hexacopter then please get in touch and we can arrange a flight demonstration.

Olfi’s Sony Exmor-R sensor is gyro stabilised to reduce shake and lead to crystal clear videos and stills. Olfi even gives you the option to shoot in high dynamic range to reduce those dark shadows and darken over exposed hi-lights. All of this paired with a high capacity 1600mAh battery makes Olfi your perfect lifestyle accessory.

Ultra High Definition

Olfi is capable of shooting Ultra High Definition 4K video at 24fps! That’s the internationally recognised frame rate for film, and at 4 times the resolution of traditional 1080p HD, 4K is a huge step up.

Your Olfi will record for up to 2 hours in 1080p at 60fps and 1 hour 20 minutes in 4K. If that’s not enough, simply pop Olfi’s battery out and replace it with a fully charged one.

Sony Exmor-R™ CMOS Sensor

Olfi utilises a Sony Exmor-R back-illuminated CMOS sensor. This sensor technology helps to improve dynamic range, detail and colour whilst reducing grain and noise.

High Dynamic Range

Another of Olfi’s big features is High Dynamic Range video or HDR for short. With this setting enabled, Olfi can retain more detail in the brightest and darkest areas of the image, allowing you to push your creativity to the next level. This setting is perfect for professional users looking to colour grade their edits or beginners pushing their filmmaking boundaries.

Waterproof

Olfi wouldn’t be an action camera without the ability to get wet! That’s why your Olfi comes equipped with a rugged, waterproof case capable of reaching depths of up to 30 metres. Perfect for demanding action sports, diving, snorkelling and much more!

LCD Front Display

Olfi’s LCD front display is backlit and gives you fast access to settings, shooting modes and info. The display shows a read out of the current camera settings, date, time and battery life. Simply glance at the display and you’ll have all the info you need to know that Olfi is ready to go!
