    loose motor

    Be sure you check the end date of your warranty. It must be in their hands before the warranty end date or they will not honor it. I had a bad experience with that issue. I bought their one year insurance policy for the I1v2 and had a crash. Called them and got authorization to send in for...

    Inspire 1.2

    I love my Inspire 1v.2. I have never had a problem with the bird. X3 camera is just fine for most uses. I shoot in 4k but process to 1080P. All my clients are very pleased with the results. Most use the video for their websites so a higher resolution is not necessary. Love the more powerful...

    New Part 107 Pilot

    Took the test and passed 92%. Missed the questions on flying a plane, like what the rudder does and overloading plane back of the CG. Very important to read the remote pilot study guide by the FAA. Many new questions from that guide, like how does the airplane pilot enter the landing pattern...

    New Part 107 Pilot

    I live in Windham, Maine. Just downloaded and set up the new InspirePilots app. Great app! Well thought out and makes it more convenient to communicate with fellow Inspire 1 Pilots and those interested in becoming certified PICs.

    Welcome, heygeorge! I'm going for my knowledge test a week from Monday. Being trained by Jason Schappertat RemotePilot101. Wonderful program.

    Sorry, Polar Pro guys ...

    Sorry, Polar Pro guys. I should not have jumped into a discussion without being aware of the main topic. Will read all of the threads from now on before commenting.

    Sorry, Polar Pro guys ...

    As a professional photographer for the past 40+ years I have found that the programmed settings of the camera is much smarter than all of us trying to manually correct color with a series of filters. You can still correct obvious color mistakes by the camera in post production, but overall, the...

    TB47 problems

    Welcome to the club of DOA TB47's. Got my Inspire 1v2 from B&H and they said they could not take back the DOA battery because it was part of a package and I would have to send the Inspire 1 package back. Well I also ordered two TB48s with my package order and was flying my bird already so did...

    Inspire 2 Announcement: September 27th 11:30am

    I dont think we should be discissing politics in this forum. When I fly my Inspire 1v2 I forget about politics and just enjoy living. I enjoy all the helpful comments about flying our birds and dealing with the FFA from our members and think we should keep our comments about politics to ourselves.

    The DJI Sun Shade, any good?

    Yes, I have made one for iPadAir2. Thanks for your offer. Works great. Easy to copy the smaller one's design. Made it in my brother's garage on a visit to my family in Montana. Fine-tuned my skills with the shade in bright sun at Holter Lake in Wolf Creek where there are no airports within five...

    The DJI Sun Shade, any good?

    I bought one and it does not fit the iPad Air2. Why they show the iPad Air2 as the best monitor for the Inspire1 and not provide a size that fits it is beyond my comprehension.

    Battery's, can't upgrade battery's

    I had the same problem. So I got very basic. I loaded the 1.8.1.0 upgrade bin file on the original 16 gig micro card and with bird and controller shut off put it into the camera slot. I then put the battery that needed the firmware upgrade into the battery compartment on the Inspire 1 and turned...
