I can tell you this about a year ago my I2 tapped a tree branch, fairly high up. The whole thing was fairly lost. I am pretty good at fixing things and evaluated what it would take to repair the unit. It ended up being something like $1000.00 in parts and then the camera was a mess, I broke the...

SanCap Good response that is exactly my point, and in my original post I did not properly state what I was getting at on the expiration, in some cases I have had some people ask to see my 107 certificate, on the certificate it self there is not expiration date listed. If you do not know much...

Here something to think about from a article I read by - Patrick Eagan article Recurrent Remote Pilot Certificate Part 107 numbers down 73% - sUAS News - The Business of Drones so why is it???? I am sure there are those who jumped into this thinking they were going have a new career, those who...

I think its a few reason but for the general people doing the work they do not need what the I2 offers, it's costly for a general use and if you do not need lens options they are happy paying a 4th of the cost for a Mavic. Also they aircraft is now 3 year old roughly time is time so they have...

JJKowals thanks for the response and as you stated I have been doing that but no matter what I have done when I feed the data up to the drone for the flight, it will automatically covert back. As I have been reading into things and confirming, over all you most likely what it to photograph in...

x7 has the same issue as the x5s - its recording element is not internal to the camera, they out boarded the process so where do you put the recording mechanism, this is the second camera they made with the same issue. I have a feeling if the do make one for the x7 then it most likely will...

I think I may know the answer but would like to see what others know before I make a conclusion. When it comes to GSP I am doing some mapping with my inspire 2 and have been for a while but recently, and I am not sure why but when I am doing a 3d map all my photos are coming out 4:3 mode. I...

the end of the day no one should be going through this, DJI should have just came out with a OSMO mount for the camera, but that was not in the cards and its a shame for all that did purchase the x5s.

I can not agree more and I played around with the fixes for a while, I would cut little strips of electrical tape for a year or so, it worked pretty well but i just go ties of it and ended up buying a pair of XOAR CF self tightening props. No issues and putting them on takes just as long time...

Over the years I have given DJI breaks to say in bashing them, now I have not had any issues to say with any of the products however I have read all the service issues and complaints that have accompanied them. Over all the majority of the people I have talked with in the organization have all...

I agree with this post, very well put and I feel the same, I do not like the looseness, it to me is programmatic, Having everything tight in the motor, motor mount, props, arm, etc... makes a difference in flying and although it may not be dangerous, to me eventually something with a loose...

I actually think the issue with the crash was power driven, or better said lack of. Depending on how the candy distributor was powered or the level of the battery in the multirotor. I would point it to that. I have seen allot of drone crashes and with DJI flight controllers the power failure...

Yesterday I have some parts where I was able to produce and mount some carbon fiber handles to my I2 frame but when I was looking it over with the handles attached to the CF tube that runs between the motors. After my assessment I do not think it would be a wise idea to do this because the...

Editor - yes the family does help but also many thanks for your input and pointing out the battery specs, I never took the time to think about it, and just in general because of how powerful the i2 is over the 1 automatically thought the batteries would also be more bring more to it. Over all I...

Maybe people get it wrong because this is what they were told in general terms by TSA agents when I was traveling with my Inspire 1, however looking at what you put here the I2 Batteries are fine, however the tb48 batteries for the inspire 1 are over the limit with 129Wh and the TB47 comes in at...
