    What do you charge for photos or video?

    Let's all do ourselves a favor and raise our prices so we can scratch out a decent living doing what we enjoy. Drone pilots have been commoditized by the "drone networks." I let all the low bidders knock themselves out competing for the low hanging fruit knowing they won't last long at the...

    Camera control problem

    Kiwipete88: Android or iOS with the C1 button? (P.S. My American son is in Queenstown with his French wife expecting a baby next month and I am thrilled about my first visit to paradise in December.)

    Camera control problem

    Are you using an Android or iOS device? I was regularly using an Android device a few years ago on my I1 and temporarily switched to an iOS device and when I went back to the Android device I had the same problem you describe with the left gimbal control knob. I think I found that the iOS...

    The Olympus 14-42 zoom lens is recognized on the I1 using the DJI GO app and it automatically displays the zoom functionality on screen.

    Inspire 1 Pro Landing Gear Swing Distance?

    Does anyone know how far up and down the landing gear arms swing from the full down position to the full up position? Not the strut emanating from the fuselage, but the pylons holding the engine and landing gear feet. Also, it looks like there is some lateral movement of the arms (away from the...

    Inspire 2 Landing gear not returning to full landing position

    A colleague recently suffered the same problem on his I2. Drone Nerds in Tampa, Florida, corrected it by lubricating the worm gear, which he does himself now regularly.

    This Is Getting Ridiculous

    Agreed. It is disappointing that these broker sites have commoditized drone pilots. As EagleVisionAerial suggested, good professionals will ignore them and rise to the top with the cream while earning the premium fees we deserve. If it's any consolation, pilots who settle for these bottom-feeder...

    Folding Props for Inspire 1

    Will the folded blades fit in the Go Professional Landing Mode Hard Case without modification? The area around the motors in the case is about 2-3/8 inches.

    Inspire 1 Left Control Wheel Controls Gimbal Yaw not Pitch

    Yes, I'd like to have perfect FPV reset functionality as well. As for resetting without an iOS device, I borrowed a friend's iPhone, installed the iOS DJI Go app, powered up the RC and the Inspire, made the configuration change via the iPhone app, shut everything down, powered up everything...

    Inspire 1 Left Control Wheel Controls Gimbal Yaw not Pitch

    Problem solved! The Android GO app does not have the same drop-down choices to reset C1 and C2 as the Apple app does - namely to switch the gimbal control wheel between pan and tilt. I changed the setting from pan to tilt using an iPhone, then went back to using an Android tablet where the...

    Inspire 1 Left Control Wheel Controls Gimbal Yaw not Pitch

    Thanks for the suggestion Ed, but multiple resets of the C1 and C2 buttons and reboots did not resolve the issue - control wheel still only controls yaw. Bizarre. I would appreciate any other suggestions.

    Inspire 1 Left Control Wheel Controls Gimbal Yaw not Pitch

    Suddenly, my I1 Pro RC's left control wheel will only control the gimbal's yaw and not its pitch. I have the latest firmware and software (Android) on all components and have tried all RC settings to no avail. Pitch can still be controlled on screen and the slave RC functions normal for gimbal...

    New DJI Go 4 Android App?

    Thanks, Scotflieger. I test installed it on a spare tablet and it only listed connect options the 3 new DJI aircraft you mentioned. The UI looks sharper, so perhaps it will come to the I1 and P3 models someday soon.

    New DJI Go 4 Android App?

    Does anyone have any hands-on experience operating with the new DJI Go 4 Android app update, particularly with an Inspire 1 Pro? The Play Store mentions the Mavic Pro, P4Pro, and Inspire 2 but the reviews are sparse and mixed. Would appreciate any I1 Pro comments or reviews. Thanks.
