It will never detect the lens because it is fully manual with no electronics to detect. I have one on my Inspire2 X5S and it gives me the "lens not detected" message but I do get an image and it works normally less the ability to focus and set aperture. Those you have to do manually before you...

It certainly depends on the size of the drone. I would rather see a 2lbs Phantom coming down in my vicinity than an autorotating 2000lbs Heli any day .

Raphael I'm referring to an X8 or Y6 where the motors are stacked one on top of another, in most set ups the top motor spins one way and the bottom motor spins the opposite direction.

Have you ever flown folding props. Both of my heavy lifters (Alta 6 and a custom Hex) use folding props and have 100s of flights with zero issues. I have flown $50K with folding props and never a worry. The only time I wouldn't recommend them is in a coaxial setup because varying motor speeds...

What are the Member rewards?

The pricing structure is a little different but in the grand scheme of things this is still one of the cheapest cameras (at $2899) to shoot 4K 60fps dng/prores on the market. They probably would have negated all this by simply selling two version of the camera, one enabled and one not. Then...
