My youtube channel is a collection of RC and FPV related videos but also family/fun stuff, camera/tech bits and anything else that interests me.
I've flown RC heli's and planes for over 30 years on and off, quadcopters since 2012 and FPV since 2013, and have been making videos since S-VHS/8mm days.
I make youtube videos for fun and aim to make short useful videos where I feel I can do something a bit different, so I try to avoid common reviews unless I can do something different.
Everything I review is bought with my own money as a normal customer (I am not a fan of paid reviews or reviewers), so I can give my open and honest opinion.
I pretty much delete any abusive/trolling comments, but try to respond to serious questions, but please read video descriptions first as I try to put details in there where possible, also please don't ask me for links as I don't recommend any particular vendor, and links are outdated within a day or two, so just search for best price in your country.

Petzl Noctilight does it fit Swift RL? Zikkina, Zipka, Actik Core, Reacktik plus fitting check?
zhlédnutí 4,3KPřed 3 lety
Jimzon asked a question on my Swift RL video where I mentioned the Swift RL doesn't fit in the Noctilight case/lantern when Petzl website says it does. I made this quick video to explain why I don't feel the Noctilight fits the headtorches Petzl claim on website, to be honest it only really fits the Zikkina and Actik properly IMHO, and its very overpriced I feel - would be fine for a fiver, but...

Petzl Swift RL How to remove replace swap rechargable battery
zhlédnutí 47KPřed 4 lety
Someone asked for a video showing how to remove or swap the battery on Swift RL, so here it is. You do have to press quite hard when tilting torch up to click out of the groove, so I would suggest not doing this when torch is cold as plastic might be more brittle, I did this in normal indoor temperature and it was fine.
Petzl Swift RL new flagship compact headtorch compared with previous Reactik+
zhlédnutí 51KPřed 4 lety
When I saw Petzl had replaced flagship Petzl Reactik all singing reactive lighting and bluetooth headtorch this the new Swift RL I got it for Christmas to compare. Both torches have the excellent reactive lighting feature, the Reactik with bluetooth and multiple buttons was overly complex, so the back to basics Swift RL is brighter and simpler. I do feel Swift RL is overpriced in comparison wit...
New 2019 Petzl Zipka 300 Lumen headtorch - comparison with 2017 200 lumen version
zhlédnutí 11KPřed 4 lety
I only recently noticed that Petzl have uprated the Zipka to 300 lumens, from the previous 200 lumens, so wanted to compare the new 2019 version with my previous 2017 model. The new 300 lumen 2019 Zipka is noticably brighter with a nicer beam spread and 'warmer/yellow' light colour, so definitely better. Video shows the differences, and an idea of the beam difference, as best I can show on camera.

We've had a small damp area in our van, and original dealer struggled to resolve, so bought a cheap £5 damp meter to check our motorhome regularly, but its awkward to read in corners and cupboards, so I wanted something better.

Love it 😄👊🏻
Nowadays Harry riding hot chicks😂😂❤❤
Nice rip for both of you 🙌🏾
Cool 😎 How are you finding the range and signal penetration? Done the FCC hack.? Mine loses video signal if I'm behind a large tree or if I've dropped too far over the horizon into a valley or gorge. 🤔
We're finding range amazing even behind trees or bushes but its been dry here (a wet tree is much harder for rf to get through iirc). Certainly amazingly better than the old analogue fpv gear I used a few years ago which would only cover a few hundred ft and would go snowy behind any obstacles). But we're staying vlos mostly and have distance limit set 1600ft and not flown behind terrain only tree's/bushes.
how did you add music?

Bro im going at this scooter on sport mode 25 km/h is this a glitch?
I just installed a standard servo connector (futana).spliced into the wiring than use a field charger to charge the battery and than install the battery in the transmitter and your done.Make sure to set your field charger at 0.5 amps and 2 cell.It takes about 6 hours with a new battery.I just replaced my battery this way in my DX8.
Extremely difficult battery to remove. Your video and demonstration made it so easy to understand. Thank you!
Awesome video! Thanks for being so specific!
Cool.
Aria 2 RGB does it fit inside Noctilight?
No, just got one to check and Aria2 RGB is far too wide so won't fit at all. Just checked and petzl website lists it as compatible, which is ridiculous ?? www.petzl.com/GB/en/Sport/Headlamps/NOCTILIGHT
youtube flinches everytime he says niggle
Utter bollocks
Thanks mate!!!!✊
Really appreciate the reviews you make.
Good tutorial. Just bought one and waiting for it to arrive. I have also bought a 90 degree quick release camera bracket which I can use to turn my TurnsPro 90 degrees to do tilt timelapses. (You need a 90 degree angle gopro mount and a gopro to tripod mount). Apparently 250g is the most weight you can put on the TurnsPro when doing tilt timelapse.
Hello James, thank you for this video.
Excelent.. Thanks you for this information.
Thanks for the useful information 👍
I bought today 1.8 50mm stm and was suprice how loud AF is, then i start resarch and found this video xd. Thank you.
i returned it to canon for replacment just to make sure it's that a normal.. Stm lol
@@shad0w303hi may i know about the replacement? Is it still got the same issue?
@@haha_00190 I was asked for a replacement because it was very noisy during autofocus, when I got a new one, everything was fine, smooth, so if anyone had same problems you should ask for replacement.

AFAIK this was never supported, but I don't know if you could get a Smartphone with HDMI out to connect external monitor by cable ? That would be the only possibility I think, but I never had a 3 standard so am only guessing.
Hey guys broke the rubber piece on my throttle any one know how to still work it
this is 4 years ago, its 2023 now and yet you help me, thank you a lot friend!
LOL I was surprised as how great that review was. I thought it will be rubbish seeing young lad doing this but it was very informative and somehow more appealing because he was doing all the stuff. Great!
I'm having the same problem with the 50 mm. both of the lenses are STM and the 50mm it's so noisy. Should I let my lens be "repaired" or is it normal?
Its normal, I spoke to Canon back when I made this video who initially suggested I send it in for repair, but when I asked to speak to someone else they agreed the EF 50 1.8 STM is a noisy lens, and if you want quieter then to consider the EF 50 1.4 USM.
@jamesb72 thank you very much!!
Great review. Just bought one an hour b4 I watched it. Thank you!
This is completely fake Thank you brother I got a shrinked note now which can’t be used now A** h***

You’re fake
