    DJI announcement Oct 11 - new camera system?

    I agree with the osmo handle with the only clarification being that it’s not just a handle any more since it also has to be a handle and SSD reader, unlike The first generation Osmo which was just a battery holder and a record button. There’s a significant increase in the required electronics...

    New Mods - Inspire 1.5ish

    Hey, I'm sure people have already done this before, but I thought I'd share some mods I've been doing to the rig lately. FPV Cam, powered off the body, to an analog transmitter mounted at the rear. taped down the Antenna so it won't randomly come sideways and hit the right rear prop...

    Inspire 2 Announcement: September 27th 11:30am

    Yeah it would make sense to bite into the "Ultraportable foldable drone" market which apparently is now a thing with the Karma launch today. Personally I never thought Phantom backpacks were all that big? And Osmos are pretty great handheld stabilizers. But it is cool to have it in one...

    Inspire 2 Announcement: September 27th 11:30am

    Yep. See post #2. "...or it could just be the Mavic" Being a Mavic actually helps us retain our resale on the Inspire 1s, so it's better for us. Nobody is gonna make me switch back to a 1/2.3" sensor =P

    Inspire 2 Announcement: September 27th 11:30am

    ... or it could be just a Mavic. Which wouldn't affect resale of an Inspire 1, but also doesn't explain any of the recent price drops on Inspire 1 hardware throughout online retailers.

    Inspire 2 Announcement: September 27th 11:30am

    If you remember the original Inspire 1 teaser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AF4f29cwJcU It had a triangle slowly inverting throughout the entire video. Pretty similar theme here, but instead of inverting, it looks to be twisting counter-clockwise. Also note at @0:42 The top set of arms...

    Lens Compatibility

    You know that 12mm is 24mm equivalent, and only slightly wider than the stock lens, right?

    Big Brother, Little Brother

    Got my Osmo Handle and 3D Printed Collar in this weekend. Works reasonably well after the firmware update. As everyone else's experience seems to suggest, the X5 camera does tend to get lost after bit of whipping the handle around, but if you're being gentle and deliberate, it'll do what you...

    Pulled the trigger on X5R

    Having the Osmo handle makes the X5R basically twice as functional. It's practically a no-brainer to upgrade now. What is the alternative to having aerial and handheld raw both gimbal stabilized? S900 + Zenmuse Z15 + BMPCC, then for the ground a Came Single at a minimum, though most folks...

    Pulled the trigger on X5R

    Soooo what if a client saw your video and said OMG I wanna pay you $5,000 for it! then saw your blown out highlights at 1:45 and said, nah, you deserve $0 per month because of only 9 stops of dynamic range on that 1/2.3" sensor, hahahahah okay okay, teasing. The colors from the top down shots...
