    signal transmission loss I1

    I have started using the I1 after a period of inactivity. Have been using the Mavic Pro for the past year for work and it has worked flawlessly. How ever I have always thought the Inspire produced a slightly better image. So I have a job coming up that I wanted to use the I1 and when I powered...

    Red light on Transmitter

    After the most recent charge on the transmitter the light remains red and the unit starts beeping. I have had the system for about 2 years. Is time for a battery change in the transmitter.

    Inspire 1 FW Update v01.11.01.50.

    I am really starting to get very annoyed with my Inspire 1. I up graded the firm ware and now the aircraft is limited to 30M altitude and 50M horizontal and completely useless to me. My little Mavik does not have any of these issues. If anybody has an idea how to get through this it would be...

    Large Solar Eruption - 30th Dec 2015

    Question I did a test flight from a small boat yesterday. I only made one because I was getting intermittent poor radio signal warnings. I stopped flying but was wondering if the solar eruption you warned of might have been the cause. Or was it more likely the metal railings and bimini top on...

    Repair NOT DO PROPERLY???

    Kirk I banged my I1 up also after 112 flawless flights. Real bummer. Thought I would never crash. Not sure what I was thinking. Anyway, sent it back to DJI. They quoted 8 weeks and I got it back in 4. They quoted $430 and listed what was damaged. I followed their instructions on how to return...

    Quick Release prop mounts - are they different?

    I have a question. I sent my I1 back to DJI for repair after a crash. Got it back in 4 weeks with only $400 repair charge. I was stunned when I opened the box because I am pretty sure this is a new aircraft. Even the x3 gamble was new and pretty sure the RC was new. I am delighted with the...

    A discussion about UAV Pilot Depth Perception (PDP)

    I can speak to this issue from personal experience. Several weeks ago at our company picnic I flew the I1 into a tree accidentally because of this effect. I was shooting a volleyball game and thought my flight path was clear of the tree and wham. I am not sure if googles would help or not. Even...

    Drone Reports Soaring Into Clouds, FAA Says

    I have had several similar experiences. I happens a lot along the beach. Aircraft flying very low. They come upon you so fast that about all you can do is hold steady and try to reduce altitude and hope they see you. I rarely go above 100 feet and usually lower. Last week I was out shooting one...
