    Big DJI announcement - Inspire 2?!?!?

    Only 8k for an Inspire and the new 4k lossless version... Don't know if that includes the new camera remote.

    Big DJI announcement - Inspire 2?!?!?

    I don't have one never seen one, but I thought I read on one of the forums with someone who has one saying in the freefly/ alta/movi/red configurations, there was a limit on how far you could go. I don't remember if is was for safety or just straight lifting capacity. I do remember the post...

    Big DJI announcement - Inspire 2?!?!?

    Seems like you have options. I like my gh3 and gh4, but I agree, no exposure control while flying is a deal breaker sometimes. I thought of putting a servo with a wheel and use a variable ND filter, but just too much work. I have the Black Magic Micro on order and that has RC control over...

    Big DJI announcement - Inspire 2?!?!?

    For sure it's not a perfect solution. #1, I'm a hobbyist who wants good video. I have too many cameras and every camera I have is better than the Inspire camera. What I have found is there are many times when I grab the Inspire and jump in my little Toyota and go fly as opposed to packing...

    Big DJI announcement - Inspire 2?!?!?

    One other reason for a lower price is if a new camera/ gimbal adds too much to the cost of the Inspire, they may meet some resistance to a high price Quad with no redundancy. Too much $$ in the air for a quad. Once the camera and gimbal get above a certain point, most experienced pilots will...

    Big DJI announcement - Inspire 2?!?!?

    I have a new prediction. Just saw a used Inspire for 1999 at a large retailer . They gave it a 8.5 rating on used scale, which means it's in good shape. They have been going for $2300 to $2500. I'm now guessing, and it's a guess that. 1. They will drop the original Inspire price to around...

    Big DJI announcement - Inspire 2?!?!?

    I woke up this morning seeing similar posts in a bunch of Inspire forums. Some interesting observations pop up. 1. Assuming it's not a Black Magic Micro and assuming it's a close copy but NOT licensed, (from Black Magic ) of the BM camera, this might be the first time a clone of an...

    I, like others are waiting. I would think some would be coming to market soon. There is one site in china claiming to have some available but I know nothing of them.

    Intel 60 million into Yuneec

    Looks like DJI is getting some much needed competition. Intel knows a bit about technology. Should be interesting. My take on DJI through my experience with a couple of their products, is the worse customer experience of my life for any product, products are released too early, but eventually...

    InfinityMR Universal high performance gimbal for GH4/A7S size cameras

    I would like to thank Aleksey, Roee and Jakub for their work with gimbals for our MR's. They (and others )have helped bring quality and cost at an affordable level. I expect to see continue new and better from both.

    XAircraft SuperX

    I took my Tarot X6 apart this week and am going to sell the x6 frame kit. I had KDE 3520's on it and tried 3 different FC's. Some footage from my proven CP gimbal on DYS eagle eye with gh3 and gh4 was ok, but occasionally, it wanted to vibrate just a bit. Worked on the mounting a bit which...

    What's that in U.S. dollars. I'm looking for 2, but might buy all 6.

    Hello, every one

    Welcome to the forum Abby. I have an Eagle Eye Gimbal. Having spent numerous hours contacting dealers asking about parts, I can say they aren't available or at least I couldn't find any. On another forum I posted asking about it and no one could tell me anyone in the U.S. that had parts...

    Monitor instead of goggles?

    Most likely I'll try one.... Kind of a no brainer for me.... I like to fly los and still watch a monitor for framing and exposure control.... Be cool if I could loop it through a good monitor with exposure feedback. Won't be long till we have full camera control in the air.... Price has...

    FREEFLY Systems Alta #1 picked up by MRF own Steve Maller

    Got my attention too although more than likely, I will never be able to spend that much as I'm trying to stay retired and do this for a hobby... Even though it's an expensive hobby.... I've been flying a x8 3515's 22 pounder with a naza which I find flies pretty good. I also have some...

    Gimbals & Encoders 2nd half 2015 Have we Arrived?

    Started this thread early May with lots of high hopes. It's almost 3 months later. Haven't seen any significant movement in gimbals or gimbals with encoders other than the few that were talked about early spring. Just curious how others are doing and if there is some significant progress...

    HobbyKing goes "Pro" with the DYS D800 X8 HL Copter.

    If you mean buy a couple complete systems so you can get a part or two if you need it, that's not the kind of manufacturer I want to buy from unless they are the only game in town or they have something so much better than everyone else, that I just have to have it. If your talking about...

    HobbyKing goes "Pro" with the DYS D800 X8 HL Copter.

    One reason I would never consider this DYS x8 is parts. They do not sell parts to some of their products. If parts were available, I'd consider it...
