    A message to the accident prone!

    I recently had my first user error 'boo-boo' with my Inspire.. Right before I was to leave for the Falcon Heavy launch. In a rush- I needed a quick and fast way to repair my inspire without risking it's future integrity during flight. I quickly machined out a simple piece to patch the damaged...

    Long time no see guys, anything I’ve missed?

    Hey all, haven’t been flying much lately, just wanted to touch bases with the community for a reliability update. Has there been any new software bugs or significant hardware failures lately? ~1.5 years I’m outdated on my current mental database on what to watch out for. Last time I was...

    DJI Service - still fighting

    Oh yeah I agree. I've just made it accustom for when I call them ask to be forwarded to a Supervisor in LA, and they usually put me on hold for about 10min or so, and then it goes very smooth from there. But yeah, I believe it's because DJI global sets he guidelines for the standard support...

    DJI Service - still fighting

    Have any of you guys asked to speak with a supervisor? I've had to call them several times on issues, spoke to a supervisor, and they always fixed my problems with little to no hassle, and they were US based at the repair center. I give them 8/10 compared to the standard support service quality...

    Leg led going out ?

    If I may ask, how were you able to get the LED out of the slot? I got my fogged cover off but I don't want to break anything pulling the LED out to inspect it

    Wanting to buy: Water Damaged Inspire 1

    Looking to pick up a water damaged Inspire one. Preferably no structural damage. If you guys don't have one, do you know of where I might be able to pick one up for cheap?

    Explain to me why my unit fell from the sky.

    Very true statements here about them not telling me. That's what I was thinking, about how I had to literally research on why not to use my current "official firmware" but then again I didn't keep it up to date you could say.. I'll see how it goes and I'll update everyone on here as soon as...

    Explain to me why my unit fell from the sky.

    After such a catastrophic incident, being a total loss on my first incident, it's going to take me a while to get up the nerve to trust such an investment in the sky. Almost like a cheating girlfriend haha. I'll never give my full trust because I've seen the other side and what it brings. Which...

    Explain to me why my unit fell from the sky.

    I'm just really hoping homeowners insurance will cover the loss. I have a 500$ deductible. Other than that I would be able to get a replacement unit. If not I would attempt to see if DJI would replace it under the circumstances, the chances of which being extremely slim to none.. Which is why my...

    Explain to me why my unit fell from the sky.

    I just reviewed the in app log. All it shows is take off, goes up to 20.0m, at 20seconds, then the log ends. No other data. Yeah I know what you mean by the battery issue being discussed many times, and I am no way using this as an excuse for my ignorance of the issue, but when I got the...

    Explain to me why my unit fell from the sky.

    It's the worst feeling I've felt in years. I remember seeing something about not flying on partial charge. It's just such an odd guideline. I mean, 54% is still 54%... That's what eats me up.. Why even allow the software to start the motors if it's such high risk? At least have like a toggle? I...
