    Irrational fear?

    OldBlue, unfortunately I don't like having that mind set either, but whether you like it or not, it's a reality. In a perfect world, the catastrophes would only happen due to pilot negligence, but it's just not the case. You have a right to be nervous about all the stories you have read. Whilst...

    Irrational fear?

    I normally get about 12-13 mins on my TB47's depending on the type of flying. I always land at 30% If you can't be weather selective and you are required to fly in high winds, definitely get the Inspire over the P3. The inspire weighs twice as much as the P3 so that tells you why.

    Irrational fear?

    I agree, that's the beauty of these quads, they make it easy for single operators too. Although, some amazing shots can be had with dual operators who know what they're doing. A second 5.8Ghz tx connected to fpv cam and some goggles turns the inspire into a pretty nice simple dual setup.

    Irrational fear?

    Yes same spec camera but that's nothing to do with how I rate it's professional value. Having the ability to operate that camera with dual operators and at 360 degree view (without props in every second shot) is how I think it sets itself apart. Telling a director "I need to do that shot again...

    Irrational fear?

    Me. That was kind of the point of my story. Sometimes I have to travel very long distances for a shoot (at the expense of the client), and weather here can be very unpredictable. Knowing that I can fly in very high winds, gives me piece of mind that I can complete the job as promised. This fact...

    Remote Shuts off?

    I know it was a while ago, but can you recall when you had charged your TX last? You said "remote had full charge". Does that mean you just checked by pressing the power button once and all LED lights came on? Or you had actually fully charged the remote before that flight?

    Irrational fear?

    That is a terribly misinformed comment. I own both and can say the P3 doesn't hold a light to the Inspire in terms of stability especially in high winds. I travelled 2000km (2 flights and a couple hours of driving) for a job with my inspire. When I arrived the winds were 40km/h gusting to...

    New Firmware v1.3.0.00 Aug 4 2015

    Yeah I remember that old chestnut but 200+ flights (most of which over large bodies of salt water) on 1.2.1.0 and not one problem for me. You're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't.

    New Firmware v1.3.0.00 Aug 4 2015

    So after 20 pages I don't see many major issues. Fly away's etc? Looks like this current firmware could be a winner and I might even upgrade from v1.2.1.0 (April). Nahhh probably not lol

    Traveling with the standard DJI Case

    I've been doing as timax suggested for some time now. Putting the DJI case in a tight fitting standard suit case with a little bit of padding on the inside and checked in. Have been on 20+ flights and my inspire is in perfect condition. Batteries come with me in the cabin of course. I like that...

    New Firmware

    The last time DJI beta tested, we were delivered a rock solid firmware version (which I'm still running). Hopefully they will have the same success with the next release. I may actually consider installing this one. :)
