Ok maybe I can tag into this to get some help. I have an Inspire 2 with an X5S camera. I have multiple lenses and yes they are or have all been tried. I keep getting the lens not connected alert and as such cannot auto focus. I can swap the lenses onto an X5 and they work OK. I spent an hour...

Yes for that kind of use you need nothing else. The 336 pixel frame is not to shabby and should easily be suited for that kind of work.

Bob, We pick our one up tomorrow and have been researching this subject until the cows come home. The 640 x 580 or whatever they have is the pixel size of the image. Multiply those numbers and you get the image size. There are many cameras in the XT range and it really depends what your...

Well I guess even if I had found a way to test I was pushing pooh up hill with a pointed stick so to speak. Finally broke out the mighty MACRO lens as I had missed these tell tale signs of expensive smoke. I figure this happened when it hit the water as there is no other simple explanation. No...

Still not any closer to finding a way to test these darned ESC units but slowly but surely I will crack it. In the specs they talk about the sinusoidal wave pattern they use to control the motors but that is a bit of a wild card as the E600 motor packages you buy are also the same and are...

jlrsn, How I wish. Its like the question has been thrown into a black hole. Whatever goes in will never come out. Fingers crossed that someone in the far off universe knows and will fluke the link and come up with some answers.

Tq2Jetman, I have stuck this up on YouTube to see if I can get any bites. If I do I will keep you in the loop. Im stuffed if I can figure out how to bench test them eh..

Link to those pesky ESC's the lads have out of stock in the UK. DJI Inspire 1 Replacement ESC Speed Controller – Marionville Models

I sent them both to the DJI repair center in Los Angeles US of A. I used the online repair request form they have on the DJI site and they send you a customer repair tracking number. Drop said camera in the box (No lens, no cards, no extras as they don't want them and they will likely forget to...

Tq2Jetman, Many thanks and I actually agree with most of your points. I did find a place in England that sold just the ESC but they are out of stock so a bit like a hip pocket in a singlet. If you dig deep into the DJI system the ESC's are listed as replaceable parts in their inventory. A...

Tq2Jetman, I have a set of Inspire V2 motors and ESC's on my bench and likewise cannot for the darned life of me find a way to bench test them. I have a totally destroyed I2 so have all the harnesses etc on hand. I understand pretty much what makes these things tick and my idea was to take...

Much appreciated dgreen729. Im really flush with motors (8) that are perfect but the ESC's I just cannot bring myself to trust. I will contact the lads at Marionville Models and see what they can russel up for me.

Guys can some one point me to a parts book or a part number so I can get myself four new ESC's. They got wet but still work. However I just don't trust them after taking a bath and do not want to risk a crash. Any help much appreciated. I would prefer direct from DJI if possible but anyone who...

Dorian Im not sure their obsolescence strategy is any different to Apple. Its not like a P3 or I1 will suddenly stop flying and the software no longer works etc. I mean even the old original P2 still flies and there must be thousands of them still around. The crocodile tears over being left...

Lithium Ion vs Litium Polymer. Most laptops packs are built from 18650 cells. They are inherently safe. Lithium polymer on the other hand is volatile regardless of charge condition etc.
