    Remote warranty after antenna mod

    You don't have to embed it into the stream. You just have to show it on start, 10m and the end. So a simple piece of paper with your call sign written on it and placed in front of the camera would suffice. With the RX/TX side, you are supposed to hang or have a label on the remote with your...

    Remote warranty after antenna mod

    Unless you are a HAM. Then EIRP doesn't matter; if using a booster you are limited to a 1W TX power on the CONTROL portion only (only because this is considered an RC vehicle). For the Lightbridge video, you can go up to 4W. Just don't forget to announce! - Mike KD0GGT

    I got my 333!

    Interesting. They changed the verbiage on the Sport. Here is straight from their FAQ: Based on these conditions to fly my Inspire 1 - my doctor would pass me! I need to go back and do some more reading on this now. Around 7 months ago, there was a thread on RCGroups about this topic and...

    Slave won't connect

    Ok - so the Slave isn't connecting at all. On the Master - after you connect the Slave - it should prompt you "Grant Blah Blah" for the Slave to work. Did you see this? I would recommend hooking the master up and re-trying to connect the slave. If you do that successfully, you have to go...

    I got my 333!

    At the very beginning - it said: "a licensed pilot" Further: See #4 - "a pilot with an FAA airman certificate" A Pilot's License requires a health screening. As a Diabetic, I cannot obtain a pilot's license. There are a few diabetics out there who have (I have type 1) - but it is...

    Mars 58 (parachute) on Inspire 1

    Thanks for the other option Captain Salty. Unfortunately - the skycat is the same. The $900-$1k kit comes with a PWM release mechanism, which requires another RX/Device to trigger the PWM to "launch". Further, the Skycat kit requires you to buy a $230 mount for the Inspire which is velcro'd...

    New to POST: Audio for your video

    Hello. I am new to the entire POST process as a whole. Unfortunately, I do not have experience with photography as many others have had, when editing video footage. Therefore, it is a whole new experience for me. I didn't want to cover general editing workflow or tips in this thread, but...

    Maiden voyage with it's new look!

    Looks great! I am having mine hydro-dipped Blue/Silver Carbon Fiber. I had to pop off 5 of my battery covers and send them in, else I am getting a full secondary body kit for the Inspire 1. The only item not covered, like yours, is the camera. You CAN take the camera housing apart, but I...

    I got my 333!

    Congrats! It is great to see people put in the work to become commercial ready. I hope this earns you priority status in the engagements you seek. I would love to have the ability to get one. Yet, being a diabetic - I would never be able to achieve a 333 based on current requirements. :(...

    The Forum Ruined Me & My DJI Inspire 1

    My Inspire 1 has been perfect. Your reaction is typical; people don't usually come to the forum and post their success. This is the same through 3D heli's, or {insert product focus name of forum here}. Rather, it is people who report failures, issues, or complaints. Truth is, something will...

    Slave won't connect

    Shemp, Interesting. Do you have control of the Gimble, although you don't have the video feed? Also - are you using the same tablet or a 2nd tablet for the 2nd remote? What I would try: 1) Swap Tablets (if using two); knowing that the 1st tablet worked on the first remote. Takes this item...

    Mars 58 (parachute) on Inspire 1

    Yes - but having another remote on hand to handle an emergency via a button or switch is unlikely. When an emergency occurs to call for a chute - it is too late unless it is automated. Anything non-automated would be a failure. It would be different if we were flying at 1k+ altitudes - where...

    Disabling the No Fly Zone protection

    Great news! Ultimately, this is what is needed - as nothing is ever (or should be) absolute. It was just personally disappointing that my attempts to positively contribute, via solving a real problem, was met with such negativity from the few public facing DJI employee's. I am just glad to...

    Mars 58 (parachute) on Inspire 1

    Ok.. so the parachute kit for the Inspire 1 doesn't include an activation system. You still have to provide your own PPM signal device (i.e. an RX to tell the servo "deploy"), or create your own logic board, sensor, and 6v battery. Thinking through this, I could design one that would fit in...

    NDVI and Crop Scouting with Inspire - How To?

    I have six (6) autonomous fixed wings. Two of them are wings, of the exact same manufacturer and design as the same five (5) digit price tag of those drone companies. The market that those companies are going for is a pure "fire and forget" system. Since they are commercial based, they can...
