    iPad/ Cendence disconnects all the time (started when I updated to IOS 11.4)

    This problem makes the drone unusable for video, exceptionally hobbled for most kinds of flight, and barely able to shoot photos. I can't believe they aren't recalling them or issuing any kind of bulletin or 'stop use' advisory; Given all the safety considerations with the FAA and flight, it's...

    iPad/ Cendence disconnects all the time (started when I updated to IOS 11.4)

    I have the same issue with constant disconnects using the standard I2 controller and a 2017 iPad pro (256gb, wifi/cell 'off', used several different cords) using iOS 11.4. Prior to the update to 11.4, I had no problems. It loses connection with the RC after 5 to 20 seconds, but I can unplug and...

    iPad constantly disconnects from RC. Drone is unusable. Help?!?

    1. I've tried three cables, same results. 2. I'm in Wyoming, temps are cool (battery heaters kicking on in the early AM some days) 3. I will try to delete and re-download the app - should it work with the current iOS 11.4? I always have the iPad in 'wifi off' and 'cellular off' mode, too, no...

    iPad constantly disconnects from RC. Drone is unusable. Help?!?

    After upgrading the ipad to iOS 11.4, my iPad Pro (2017, wifi, wireless, 256gb) constantly disconnects from the remote controller. The RC remains connected to the Inspire 2, so I can fly visually, but the iPad loses all contact with the RC. If I unplug and re-plug the USB cable from the RC into...

    DJI Googles - finally works as advertised for Inspire 2!

    Did you ever get an answer to this? I'm looking at using two standard controllers, with one running goggles for the camera gimball, and flying via tablet...

    Rental Rates with X7

    Seems reasonable. You might try creating a comparison reel (side by side) on a similar flight path, with a high contrast situation (sunrise/sunset?) to demonstrate the value, too. I'm probably going to keep the X5s just for the ability to shoot both wider and more telephoto. The X7 lens lineup...

    X5s Raw DNG files look terrible in Lightroom

    You're right about all of that, but it's like they didn't even try in this case. I do high end to middle end work in a small town, for clients with a range of budgets. On a high end interior designer shoot, color matching is required, but on a lower end, low budget realtor shoot I do not offer...

    X5s Raw DNG files look terrible in Lightroom

    Thanks... I get it, but I just can't believe that's "part of the job" when shooting in daylight in 2017. Given the level of automation in every other aspect of this rig, the RAW files are just inexcusably bad. One shouldn't have to invest more money, and more clicks with every shoot just to get...

    X5s Raw DNG files look terrible in Lightroom

    I'm still looking for the Cinema 5D post on RAW stills - everything I'm finding seems to regard video. There are a number of helpful suggestions on the other inspire pilots post above, but there's no real solution from a critical perspective - I have to adjust hues, saturations and luminance...

    X5s Raw DNG files look terrible in Lightroom

    Color me highly unimpressed with the still images I'm getting; Does anyone have a profile or some recommendations for how to deal with the raw DNG (still image) files shot on the X5s? When I import them to Lightroom they look terrible. Getting them to look half decent feels akin to colorizing...

    Cannot successfully record 120fps to micro SD card?

    I was set to H264, never H265. The card that didn't work was a Lexar, the newer card is the precise approved-by-DJI Samsung.

    Longest Prime Lens

    I've seen a video with a longer zoom lens, can't find it now, but keep looking. The other piece of the puzzle is the software integration and workflow; I've read that lenses that aren't 'approved' by DJI can't be imported through Lightroom due to M4/3 standards not working with RAW files on...

    Inspire 1 or 2 for photography?

    The X5s camera on the I2 doesn't have nearly the detail or dynamic range of a full frame Nikon or Canon (I use Nikon professionally), but there isn't a better aerial imaging option for anything less than twice the price, and this is far simpler to run (plug and play). In short, it's a very good...

    Cannot successfully record 120fps to micro SD card?

    When I try to record 120fps (available option in GO 4) it records a mess of dodgy bricks and lines and jittery video. You can make out what the video 'is', but it's just unusable. I have tried both the card that came with it (16GB Sandisk) and an approved 128GB Samsung card (per the DJI list of...

    X5S with Panasonic 42.5mm f1.7 lens, problems with RAW files in Lightroom?

    It doesn't seem to be an issue with video, just with still images - or it was with the X5 RAW on the Inspire 1 - I haven't read anything either way on the I2 with the X5S for still RAW images (i.e. not video)
