I have ordered the folding propellers will the fit the new inspak
Cheers Ken

I've done the same. I'm using the Tarot folding prop adapters and amazing tech adapters together with RCTimer blades. Works well so far, just need a landing mode backpack.

any update when this case will be available?

 

[Vossken]

Update on the InsPak I2 - We're delaying the molding process until next month. We're in the middle of too many new projects and still working on the Gen 1 inspire inventory reduction (we're packed to the room in our warehouse now). Sorry for the delay but I'll keep everyone posted.
Common problem with a Maker's company lol.

Hi

 

[Vossken]

Hi I have been waiting and was expecting updates on the progress of your inspak for is2
Could you please give me an update as I would like to make a purchase for the inspak but if it's not going to be produced I will purchase another brand regards Ken

 

[oblivie]

I called Inspak...... A lady said it's production is on hold

 

[Lance K]

Adding a waist strap to go along with the sternum strap would be most appreciated! I ski with my INSPAK and having it more secure would be blessing! SO stoked on this product.

Sounds like this thread is dead as well as hopes of a InsPak for the I2 this summer. Oh well, on to GPC

They do fit, I would not go throwing the back pack around but I feel confident using it lightly. The backpack does fit inside the GPC landing mode hardcase if you need total protection. I purchased the folding props and GPC backpack from @Florida Drone Supply

 

[Nick H.]

Hmmmm.... I may reconsider the GPC case since at least the folding props fit. I just despise taking the camera on and off the drone. I don't like all the extra steps of going in and out of travel mode. I find that to be the biggest pain - especially in the field. For those of you with the GPC backpack, are you able to use the backpack itself as a platform to make the I2 go in and out of travel mode?

I do not use the backpack as a platform to come in and out of travel mode. I simply hold one of the arms or top and push the battery button 5 times. It is really simple.

Interesting. Did you have the I1? I recall going into travel mode did not work unless the downward facing cameras saw the ground. This forced you to have the I1 on the ground to go in and out of travel mode. I guess the I2 does not require this? I've actually never even tested it. I just assumed it worked like the I1 with this function. Still, I don't like going into landing mode, then turning off the I2 to install the camera, then turning it back on..... yeah, I'm nitpicking, but man, It's much more annoying when you are sweating your *** off while riding your bike then unpacking a drone. Sure, I could get something smaller, but ****, the I2 has the great camera and spotlight pro. It's a game changer for the stuff I like to do as a single pilot.

Yeah, on a normal day my nitpicking with the setup really is not a problem, but I promise, it is a different story when lugging this beast on your back through the woods, dirt and nothing but uneven ground. Having the props and camera installed while packed up is really the best way to go and what I would prefer.

It's funny, GPC told me they looked at making a backpack for landing mode, but they said it wasn't possible. The dimensions just didn't work out to do landing mode. I was shocked. They have to know about the design used by BeStem. They could have made something exactly like that. Of course making a landing mode backpack is possible!!!!

 

[SanCap]

I think some of these manufacturers are realizing the somewhat short lifespan of some of these products. You can watch this short video I created just for you I understand your concern for lugging things around in the woods etc. My issue is beaches and small boats and I work thru it.

Really would love this backpack to come to reality!

I just called Betem Aerial/Inspak and spoke to someone who said they have no idea when it will be released.

So I guess it's still a possibility then? I thought I read somewhere that it was definitely not happening...

He did not sound encouraging, I think it will never happen. I think you should look elsewhere. You would think if it were going to happen they would mention it here.

That backpack was the best thing I bought for my INSPIRE 1. It would be awesome if we as a group made a 1 time manufacturing run from them... I wonder if they would be interested.
