    Inspire crashes into football stadium

    Splash one Inspire. Should have never been flying there in the first place. Keep on keeping on and we will be regulated out of the hobby.

    Inspire bites the dust after 1.3 update

    Sorry to learn of your loss. Hard to describe the gut wrenching feeling one gets when their expensive drone is laying there in pieces. It is a sickening and long lasting feeling for most. Now prepare yourself for a long, long wait for a repair or replacement. Sad to say; that doesn't feel too...

    Worst customer service EVER!

    It was my maiden flight. Lasted all of 1 minute. lost control almost immediately after take off and a short hover, I don't know what went wrong. Hoping DJI can tell from the inspire's data. If the repair turns out to be under warranty, I'll try again. If not, i'm done. So disappointed with the...

    Worst customer service EVER!

    Hi TJ. I'm just down the road from you in Richfield. I sent my Inspire to DJI on May 27th. The only word I have received from them is that it was checked in to the que. It has been 2 months since I sent it in and well over a month since they checked it in and not a peep out of them. Thus there...

    Another sUAV Shot Down

    Glad he did it and hope he gets all charges dropped. Anyone trespassing and worse (hovering) over your property should be open to the same fate. The dumb-*** pilot is just digging our drone grave deeper.

    New inspire 1 accessory page

    I think the DJI hub has a little merit. At least you can charge the batteries sequentially unattended. I don't think I trust lipos enough to go to sleep while this process is ongoing though. And @ $90.00, I don't think so.

    Tips for a new Inspire pilot

    Read the manual a third time! It can be rather cryptic and leaves out some important information. For that, spend time reading the forums. You will fine a vast amount of undocumented info within them that the manual does not describe very well. Suggest performing searches the forums AND reading...

    Need Help Developing a Checklist App

    Thanks for this link Photo Elevate. I've been looking at checklist apps for sometime, seeking one that you can import to and perform cutting and pasting. So far, none that I have looked at will do this. I refuse to sit and type in word for word only to have to start completely over if ANY...

    DJI repair takes 8 weeks -- then it crashes again in two days

    My reply was directed to the two posters below catware's initial post. I thought they were a little quick to judge catware's experience.
