    Exciting News from DJI - june 15

    I can't get exited about it at all. This will be the 2nd new product launch after the Inspire, which is still not doing what was advertised and now has reduced trabnsmission range. I would say WOW if they got all the bugs sorted and I had what I paid for. Instead they keep de-valueing our...

    Firmware v1.2.1.03 2015-05-06

    I think it's working just fine for them. With the Phantom 3 release they have put a backup machine for the I1 on the market. Why speed up your service and communications (which are expensive to implement) when you can sell more units because your customers are afraid of long delays. The poor...

    You are right, since the ND48 is available. I'm just having a hard time explaining it to my client NASA :D

    FINALLY APPROVED ND-FILTERS !

    Hi Renaat, I've been meaning to thanky you for the filters for a while. They are very usefull and very nicely produced. Great effort. The only improvement I coukld see would be be an outer thread at the front, so we coukd stack at least two filters. More would upset the balance of the gimbal...

    Reports of updated sharpness settings

    I am convinced that the Sharpness settings have also been dealt with in the FW Update. That in itself is a good move, as the increments were far to large before. The SOFT or -1 Setting until now was already visibly soft, -2 and -3 not really usable. Now the increments seem to be much smaller and...

    IMU Calibration issue

    Sorry for not responding earlier. Drift seems to be OK after new FW and re-calibration. It would still be nice to know where the actual reference level of the craft could be measured.

    IMU Calibration issue

    I am experiencing slight drift and position holding that is not rock solid. I have done an advanced IMU calibration and the MOD is spot on zero. acceleration MOD spot on 1g, compass around 1500. I have been building multi-rotors for the last four years, many right from scratch with Mikrokopter...

    Major vibration

    My Q/C label says 2015/02/17 - not an early production date.

    Major vibration

    The vibrations are totally unacceptable. I have flown and built multi-rotors for the last four years commercially and have spend a lot of time finding ways of reducing vibrations - the major challenge with this technology. Obviously the production tolerances of the T-joints holding the main...

    Change Aircraft Name

    The issue is not so much the name but the wrong serial number. My App shows something completely different from the actual number of the craft. The log keeping is one the advertised features of the Inspire, and may well come into importance in case of accidents and insurance claims. So this...
