    DJI Inspire 1, What's the Verdict?

    To late for me. I'm bricked. Camera malfunction now this. Not a good first 3 days. Probably time to return it. One last attempt to revert to old firmware, but it's not on DJI Inspire's Download page anymore. Anyone have copy of the 1.2.0.16 firmware?

    DJI Inspire 1, What's the Verdict?

    USPS failed so didn't get the replacement camera delivered today. DJI put out a firmware update this AM. So, I thought I'd give it a try. Turns out that wasn't too smart.... Inspire update appears to not have worked. Radio update failed and now may be bricked. Might be my first fail after 6...

    DJI Inspire 1, What's the Verdict?

    Yep, decided to try that (overnight ship) instead of a whole Inspire. Unit is brand new, 2 days old.

    DJI Inspire 1, What's the Verdict?

    Flight 4 ok. Flight 5 ok, except forgot to stop recording before turning off Inspire battery. 5 hrs later (3 DJI support calls over 5 hours), camera won't format card, record or take photo's even though it sees a newly formatted fat32 card (tried 3 different Micro Sd's). Some settings are...

    DJI Inspire 1, What's the Verdict?

    Got my Inspire late Monday. Maidened 3 flights yesterday, getting to know it in light winds & cold weather. On many levels, it's amazing so far. Lots of features and functions that are well worth having IMO. Insulated my battery compartment with dense foam and didn't see any crazy battery...

    Official ARRI ALEXA Mini Renters' Thread

    I read about this earlier and it was listed in specs as body only at 5lbs. Also someone was guessing 30k body only.

    DJI Inspire 1, What's the Verdict?

    I've been saying for a while, that we are getting beyond what our eyes see in everyday life. I see more detail in my large screen TV than when I look at the same distance at something in my room. Looking at items at the same distance I don't see much detail, just color. I've also been saying...

    DJI Inspire 1, What's the Verdict?

    Thanks for your post. I don't fly my gopro 3 much as I'm not a fan. Fly mostly gh3/gh4, and was going to sell my BMPC until I decided to build a smaller gimbal just for it that would goon my x8 or my larger quad. I've fought the quality vs convenience mode with that camera, as it's more...

    IRIS+

    To your knowledge, if you had an x8 at say 20 lbs that flew for 18 minutes on a Naza or SuperX and then put a Pixhawk on it, would you assume that you'd get 18 minutes on this also. I've wondered on my quad if I'm getting alittle less flight time with my Pixhawk. It could just be older...

    Came 7000 3 axis gimbal?

    Dazzab, do you feel that in moderate winds, you could fly your 7000 for 15 minutes and have the majority of footage usable and not needing any post stab? I have the DYS Eagle Eye with 60mm motors on roll and yaw, and 5208 on pitch. From what I can tell, the Came 7000 is pretty much if not...

    FAA may get Drones Right.

    I don't see much of anything being detrimental. As the MR's grow in capabilities and popularity, there needs to be some common sense on how we use these both as hobbyist and in commercial. I don't see anything but good in their proposal. Sure there will be changes and fine tuning, but this is...

    FAA may get Drones Right.

    I found it interesting as to the response from Amazon. There response that I read struck me as being a bit arrogant. Weren't going to take no for an answer, it's their right and best for their customers. In our paper today, one of our Senators from NY, Chuck Shumer, got behind the Amazon...

    FAA may get Drones Right.

    Looks like good progress is being made. They just had the announcement with a few questions. CNN was the most negative. They dodged the question as to how soon they might be able to implement this. They also dodged the question on Amazon deliveries, but in the 79page pdm, it says no to...

    The Hour Is Upon US! FAA To Divulge New sUAS Regulations Today (Sunday 2/15/2015)!

    They changed the time from 10am to 10:30 and changed the phone number and password. I've been trying for a while and got connected by just hearing some misc tones every 30 or 40 seconds and some muffled voices? Is it over?

    The Hour Is Upon US! FAA To Divulge New sUAS Regulations Today (Sunday 2/15/2015)!

    I read the pdf last night. Seems well written and has a fair amount of common sense. Why are so many people doubting it? Maybe it came out early, but it's dated Feb 2015. Letterhead has: U.S. Department of Transportation FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION Which is the FAA. Don't think...

    FAA may get Drones Right.

    I just finished reading the whole thing. Very well written and thought out. The inital test price and retesting every two years is reasonable. Cost of registering you MR is reasonable. They state that some cost that the Government and FAA may incur may later be passed on, but for the initial...

    FAA may get Drones Right.

    Only seems to good to be true because we are used to a government that is run by special interest groups and money. The open internet ruling and this gives me hope that maybe things can turn around, ie, if this does turn out to be true. Maybe common sense is being reborn after 231 years.
