DJI Phantom 4 UK
So, it’s almost here, the new DJI Phantom 4 in the UK. This is the latest version of the Phantom range and has some pretty unique new features. We’ll talk about some of them below and explain what these new features are, what they do and how you can use them.
What’s new in the DJI Phantom 4?
Obstacle avoidance – this feature will utilise cameras at the front and beneath the Phantom 4 to actively stop you flying into obstacles. It may not prevent you flying into everything but it should certainly help avoiding the bigger obstacles like large trees, mountains, buildings, people, etc.
Extended flight time– you should now be able to fly for around 28 minutes which is about 4-5 minutes from than the advertised flying times of the previous Phantom 3 range.
Dual IMU / Compass – DJI have added two of each, so now both IMU’s and Compass will check their values with each other, potentially avoiding incorrect data sending your Phantom 4 on a fly-away.
TapFly – with TapFly you can simply tap on the screen your smartphone or tablet to send the Phantom 4 on it’s journey.
Active Track – this feature allows you to highlight a subject on your smartphone or tablet screen and then tell the Phantom 4 to actively follow them without the need for you to manual input any stick control on your remote controller. Perfect for those extreme video shoots of skiers, mountain bikers, snowboarders, etc.
Quick Release Propellers – these new propellers will make attaching and removing your propellers quicker and easier.
If you’re looking for more information and the full spec sheet of the DJI Phantom 4 or would like to speak to an authorised dealer in the UK about purchasing, please contact Hobby Mounts below who are official dealers for DJI and will have the Phantom 4 in stock in the UK.

GoPro Karma Quadcopter named and announced for 2016
So, if you’ve been following the whole GoPro/DJI relationship and then non-relationship you’ll realise why GoPro are developing their own quadcopter or possible range of quadcopters and the first has been named Karma.
Is this a dig at DJI? Who knows!
But what we do know is that it’s being developed right now and will be available from June 2016 onwards, possibly just before Xmas.
The GoPro Karma will likely be a quadcopter, ie, 4 rotors and have a 3-axis gimbal of some description which pilots will be able to attach their GoPro Hero Camera.
We don’t know at the moment which camera it will be compatible with and if the next generation of Hero Camera (Hero 4+ or Hero 5) is available before or around the same time then it could be that it will be compatible with the latest offering.
Hopefully the GoPro Karma Quadcopter will be a massive hit but either way, we’ll be stocking it on our website www.hobbymounts.co.uk

DJI OSMO Mic Holder / Attachment – How to mount a microphone to your OSMO
If you’re the lucky owner of the DJI OSMO Handheld 4k camera with 3-axis brushless Gimbal you’ll probably know the internal microphone isn’t that great, to put it mildly.
Fear not, we have a solution! Firstly, you’ll need a good quality external microphone, something like the RODE VideoMicro is recommended by DJI and has great reviews from users who have used it. Secondly, you’ll need a way of mounting the microphone and ideally a solution that doesn’t mean you have to remove the existing mobile phone holder.
The solution we have come up with can be found here for as little as £19.99 (excluding micrphone) >>> http://www.hobbymounts.co.uk/shop/Rode-Video-Micro-Mount-for-DJI-OSMO

What’s new with DJI Inspire 1 V2.0 (version 2) Quadcopter?
So, DJI have announced the replacement to the original DJI Inspire 1 with the Inspire 1 V2.0 Version 2 Quadcopter but what’s different?
Well, DJI have changed the method of attaching the propellers (again) and they’ve also upgraded the motors from 350kv to 420kv versions.
DJI claim this won’t affect the flight time either way but should improve the responsiveness of the Inspire 1 V2.0.
It also has the latest incarnation of gimbal/camera mount and is ready to accept the new DJI X5 camera without the need to modify.
Oh, and it’s slightly more expensive than the original Inspire 1 @ £2519 accounting for the upgraded motors, prop attachments and the latest gimbal mount.

A handgrip, a telescopic pole, chesty, handlebar mount, helmet, car, bike, etc, etc. etc.
