Howard, Good points all around, and having a second aircraft was a big factor for me as well. The crash is going to come at some point, and I don't want to be standing there on a full day soot without the ability to get back up in the air quickly. The ability to interchange thecameras...

If you're happy with your x3 output, stick with it. I worked with the x5 on the i1-pro today for the first time and was pleased. More complex to work with of course since there are 'real' camera settings that can be adjusted now beyond just ISO and shutter speed. As mentioned previously, the...

Thanks for the great info in your post. Where'd you find the MTF data for the 15mm lens? Have a reference? pb

Both cases are darn heavy, (I've got the tradecraft case) and it's a bear to carry around when full of batteries...but what a great case. Everything sealed and secure. I've also had problems when leaving the camera attached to the aircraft for extended periods of time--resulting in what seems...

How do you thnk they became a billion dollar company?... Every peanut counts! But seriously, I feel your frustration. Thanks to the amazing and supportive user community, we have some video explanations/tutorials, but I agree, Where the heck is the simulator for android users? And why weren't...

Thank you Editor for that excellent summary of the potential causes of the sometimes "alarmist" "My Drone Flew off By ITSELF!" "I'm sending it back" posts we see from time to time. Excellent summary and advice.

Thanks lake_flyer for hitting the nail on the head: "How long before a true pro app for commercial pilots with HUD, full camera control and maintenance/log features, waypoint and POI, focus and follow modes, all combined in one serious interface, specifically for the I1, will hit the street? I...

You're so right skysight. When exactly is DJI going to bring the UAV up to advertised specs. Is it going to take a class action suite to get them to do the right thing? Instead of working on the features they promised, they're adding a dorky video editor to the app? Come on DJI.

Firmware update painless, no issues flying since. Though I _ALWAYS_ perform an IMU and compass calibration after any firmware update (regardless of what the update is for). Just seems like a good idea and not hard to do.

That's all great if it actually does what they say it can do when it ships. UNLIKE the Inspire 1 which still doesn't have the point of interest tracking advertized as functioning pre-sale... But hey, we now have a "Video editor" built into the app. COME ON DJI, let's get functioning what you...

Yeah, it's pretty lame that advertised functions pre-sale aren't implemented yet. POI and way point navigation would be great to have. Don't get me wrong, I'm realy impressed with everything I can accomplish with this aircraft, but it sure would be nice if it actually came with the...

Nice.

So if you had dual controllers, couldn't you put one in the moving object you want to track, and tell IOC to track the second controller?

Isn't there a way to make it track the location of the controller though? Seems like there is. Mentioned somewhere around page 40 of the manual no?

Spoke with DJI support today, 2015-01-15, and they had 'no eta' on simulator coming into the android app. Seems silly that Android doesn't get this. Android's got bigger market share. Maybe their IOS first policy will change after a while. We can hope.
