    CA New Drone Regulations In Canada for 2019

    Reading through the above link with four pages of "Drones Approved for Advanced Operations" odd that no DJI drones are mentioned, not even their better flying Mavic's. Given the battery issues with the Inspire 2, even for 'redundant safety' (ahem!) with a second battery, poor hover stability...

    Sharpness of Olympus 12mm

    Looks pretty good to me, aside from the reddish chromatic aberration that is visible on the top of the gray roof line in the nearest house. That can be better corrected in other programs than LR. I tried it in DxO Photolab 2 and it cleaned it up much better and much sharper too.

    Sharpness of Olympus 12mm

    You'll need some body to do it. I don't know what caused me to question the 45mm. When I called Olympus Service is when they told me about updating the firmware in the lens for some issues. I took mine to the local Best Buy and asked the camera dept. manager "If I could check my lens on one...

    Sharpness of Olympus 12mm

    I bought an Olympus 45mm. What I found out was Olympus had updated that lens a couple of times and the only way to do that online was with an Olympus body, or maybe a Panasonic. since the DJI camera cannot do lens updates. The other option was to send it to Olympus and pay them the $140 to do...

    Sharpness of Olympus 12mm

    Might want to spend some time at Imaging Resources Lens Reviews If you click on the chart on the right in the lenses that show Lab Reviews, it will open a window where you can move the f/stop and zoom sliders around to find the optimum focus spot. The 12mm prime seems to be sharpest at f/5.6...

    Looks like no December update for Inspire 2 firmware

    Notice they didn't say what year it was going to be for. May as well be December 2019 or January 2020 given their slowness to do anything, and without screwing something else up. :mad: It will buy them some time to deny some more warranty claims on their standard 6-month battery warranty too...

    Will these ND filters fit

    I don't own one so can't say.

    Will these ND filters fit

    Also, the Laowa 7.5mm vignettes enough as it is. A filter will make that issue far worse.

    Is it something I’m doing wrong?

    The hobby shop guy sold me a tube of some molybdenum powder and a brush to paint it on the screw. I used another brush and a cleaner to get the old lube off the bottom of the what looks like a white nylon washer. Even with the dry powder, it still can get tight in the down position though...

    Wanting info on setting up Inspire 2 for PPK Mapping with external GPS receiver

    It's likely to be 198ms + the buffer speed. Just saying this because I read where someone was using an electronic flash off a P4, and an I2 with a X5S and a X4S camera, and posted the sync speeds from hitting the shutter button on the RC unit (Not GO 4) to fire a flash in conjunction with the...

    Inspire 2 / TB50 Pin-Out

    I wonder if doing the battery compartment replacement yourself (The latches or ejectors break!) would give one the needed battery socket for accessing the battery terminals without dismantling the case? .... I should have saved mine - ugh!

    Is it something I’m doing wrong?

    Have you tried to turn the bottom servo screw to see if it is binding up? Mine wasn't working this AM and I thought "Crap! Now something else is broken!" But once I turned it (It was really tight!), it's working as it should. Glad I didn't push my luck and burn out the servo. Too bad DJI...

    Inspire 2 Battery Button Stuck

    Thanks for the update. I think I'll wait a bit to order a second part 17 battery compartment hoping DJI remedies the fragile pieces and weak design within it. Given it's DJI and them being super-slow, it might take a year or two before they fix the issue - if they ever do - and any current...
