    Matrice 600 vs Inspire 1 Pro/Raw Industrial Use

    Looks like this guy just put a GoPro on top of the M600 and when he did he said it interfered a good bit with compass and GPS. If a GoPro is going to do that much I don't think you'd ever be able to put an actual camera up on top with the Ronin MX even if it does support upside down mounting...

    Matrice 600 vs Inspire 1 Pro/Raw Industrial Use

    I understand both points of views and think they both contain valuable information. At this point in time I'm trying to figure out if the cost is worth it for the M600. For this particular job (inspecting light posts) I think I could do just fine with an inspire. However, I'm trying to forecast...

    Matrice 600 vs Inspire 1 Pro/Raw Industrial Use

    This was just the kind of information I was looking for, thanks!! I wonder how DJI comes up with that wind resistance spec...I've read other place that it is more stable than the Inspire but according to the specs it's not. Another question for you...how do you go about managing batteries when...

    Matrice 600 vs Inspire 1 Pro/Raw Industrial Use

    I've been looking around for quite a while now, there's not too much out there on industrial uses. I've already looked into insurance and have spoke with someone about that. I came here to seek some advice and real-life experience from people who have it...after all, isn't that the whole point...

    Matrice 600 vs Inspire 1 Pro/Raw Industrial Use

    Something I just thought of though is if I get the M600 I can put a dSLR on there with a longer lens correct? So I wouldn't have to be as close to the structure to get video/photos? Is there a way to focus the SLR when it's in the air? Seems like @FlyHighUSA has the most experience here.

    Matrice 600 vs Inspire 1 Pro/Raw Industrial Use

    Okay that makes sense, thanks! So do you guys think it's worth it to get the Matrice 600? Seems to me that the big reason you would want to buy this is to put a third-party camera on there. I have no need for a cinema-grade camera, I think the X5 or X5R will do just fine, don't you think?

    Matrice 600 vs Inspire 1 Pro/Raw Industrial Use

    Yeah I saw that...says the Inspire has a higher wind resistance than the M600 but trying to wrap my head around that. Wouldn't an aircraft with 6 rotors be more stable than 4? Or does that have to do with the size of the M600 taking up a larger footprint?

    Matrice 600 vs Inspire 1 Pro/Raw Industrial Use

    I recently got asked about doing inspections of light posts near highway interchanges for an engineering company. They want to start using drones instead of cherry pickers to do inspections. Currently I have a P3 but looking to upgrade as this is a fairly large contract and has potential for...
