    DJI Inspire 1, What's the Verdict?

    If you mean clean HDMI out, then no for the LX 100. I don't have one, but the RX-100 III has clean HDMI out, but versions 1 and 2 do not. Just based on specs and what I've seen from the RX-100 II, I bet the video out from the RX-100 III is very very good. If you want video out during record for...

    DJI Inspire 1, What's the Verdict?

    Thanks -- it's interesting to me how a lot of the details can be obscured by the marketing, both good and bad. I only have my GoPro 4 silver handy right now, and it has a 45 Mbit/sec maximum bitrate using the protune option. So I just shot 3 quick clips of 1080p 30 in wide, medium and narrow...

    DJI Inspire 1, What's the Verdict?

    This is more detail on compression and how the Inspire footage compares to what we already experience. Clearly capture quality, the type of encoding and quality of compression matter, so the following just provides some relative points of reference. 1080p at 30 frames per second and 24 bits per...

    DJI Inspire 1, What's the Verdict?

    Absolutely right. The main benefit of 4K (or more) is in the editing. Cable / fiber / satellite TV is still catching up to 1080p, and just about everyone is receiving 1080i or 720p with bitrates in the 15-20 Mbit/sec range. We have a way to go before the home viewer even gets to experience...

    DJI Inspire 1, What's the Verdict?

    It will get better for sure. This is like the period of time when HD was first available. Video cams were recording 1080i at very low data rates, you couldn't watch it anyway unless you had a fancy new TV, and people were still talking about how amazing DVD video (480p) looked. I'm sure the...

    DJI Inspire 1, What's the Verdict?

    It just won't work with the 4K out of the Inspire. I'm still playing around with this, but so far I think the Inspire 4K scaled down to 1080p is better than the 1080p straight from the Inspire (most likely because the per-frame bitrate is higher). Other than that, I don't see the point of 4K. We...

    Difference between CPPM and S-BUS?

    The short answer is that S.Bus and CPPM are very different and not at all interchangeable unless you happen to have hardware that can read both. S.Bus is a digital protocol where each channel is encoded with a value ranging from 0 to 2047. The channels values in binary are ordered, divided into...

    Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

    The startup chimes (and all other ESC noises) come from the motors, not the ESCs. I would double check the connections from the motors to the ESCs and from the ESCs to power.
