    Downunder - How many of us are there?

    Yes DJB CASA can be VERY challenging to deal with. Not surprised to see you giving it up. We might go the same way later this year for basically same reasons.

    Seeking X5 Gimbal repair not replacement!

    Update - Got my X5 repaired (FINALLY). Local (West Australian) company at Jandakot Airport (Look it up on Google Earth). It's not their focus, they are an avionics repair shop, but they are interested in breaking into drone repairs generally. If anyone is interested drop me an email and I will...

    Any tips to a new flyer

    Wiltom, be VERY careful/gentle how you land your bird. The X5 is very easily damaged due to poor quality design (Mine and others opinion) on the gimbals yaw arm (Paper thin in a critical load path internally) material. As at this time DJI make no spares available to owners for "In House"...

    Seeking X5 Gimbal repair not replacement!

    When will someone get a decent qty of commonly used spares for these X5 Gimbals into their stock? As Jeremy knows (I sent my X5 to him some months ago now and it was returned) I am now seeking a "New" Yaw Motor. A well documented and priced parts listing on a website of reverse engineered parts...

    Western Australia - Drone flying in National Parks

    I recently became aware of a change to the drone policy of the Australian National PArks & Wildlife. Even recreational below 2 kg drones need a permit. Suggest if this is of interest you carefully read their Hand Book and various forms. Remotely piloted aircraft - Parks and Wildlife Service...

    Simple Bench Test for Inspire 1 ESC/Motor Assemblies?

    Kiwi53, And there I was thinking I was chatting to someone living in "The land of the long white cloud" (New Zealand). My X5 has been around the world chasing a fix. First port of call was the Australian DJI repair (Parts changers Inc.) shop in Melbourne. Their solution, buy a new body (I...

    Simple Bench Test for Inspire 1 ESC/Motor Assemblies?

    Kiwi53, I agree, but those with more knowledge on these matters do not. DJI show absolutely "No interest". I have an inventor/IT/Engineer Guru friend in USA (I live in Western Australia) working on a solution for me (ie: Build a simple bench tester for ESC/Motor Assemblies). My current solution...

    Inspire one ESC error

    RickT, dvBed questions answer themselves if you look at the linked data. It depends on which model of Insp 1 you have. I cannot explain the use of the word "Only" in the sales info. I know I personally would not want to risk my V2 unless I was VERY sure it was BS and a marketing ploy. Begs the...

    Inspire one ESC error

    RickT, I feel for you (And anyone else with sim prob). I had this. ZERO real help from DJI. Mine was following a crash (All my own fault and therefore not covered by warranty). However how to determine what is defective is the issue. Is it a motor or ESC or could it be more than one? And as you...

    Broken Zenmuse X5 gimbal, what should I do?

    You might like to contact these guys. I have used them for an X5 gimbal repair recently. I should caution you though that in my case whilst it came back in one piece I have not as yet managed to get it to work correctly on the drone. Yours looks just as banged up as mine was but I still sent it...

    Simple Bench Test for Inspire 1 ESC/Motor Assemblies?

    Hi, its been quite a few months since my original post but I have not had time to progress my issue. I do not claim to have an understanding of "PWM and three phase drive output", but might know someone who does. That being the case what words of wisdom could you share for someone with the...
