I've got Inspire for a limited amount of time to measure it and make design of parachute mount. We've made several test flight with parachute landing and the video was worst so I don't publish it. However I have video for Phantom. Landing method is same, upside down and parachute is same 50". bigger parachute 75" is better of course, but takes more space, that's why I offer the choice 50" or 75".
Mars 58 (parachute) on Inspire 1

"Can you take some pictures of how this system is installed on your Inspire?"
I'll upload some next week.

afx, your parachute sounds interesting.
I am thinking about a Mars 58 v2 or your parachute model.
If i order it on your homepage, is it available for delivery now ?
Is it possible to mount the Fly Away module on the parachute mount ? Including battery.
Best regards

my opale-paramodels parachute setup in order to littlebit protect the craft and x5 gimbal
I got a manuel trigger showing in the pictures and have no isues with the radio communication what how ever.
I got this system a few months and never had to deploy it in the air
How this looks like i made a video.

One thing the rig makes the inspire bigger so you need to modify the original dji case in order to fit in travel mode
A other thing to mount the parachute in the rig take a littlebit of a practisch
A big thing to remember is the way you have to fold and connect the parachute to the rig otherwise you risk of incorrect deployment.
what i do is for every flight i refold and pack te shute to be sure i will work.

Also, fold and check every flight? That's kind of tedious

The problem with this para rig and the orginal case is that it is not possible the transfer the inspire in travel mode case of the extra rig under the belly and fool the vision positioning module to hold it a littlebit over the over the edge of the top case.
for while was that my way to store and transport but was not ideal case of the few in correct transfer of the inspire
Now i got this one HPRC Case for DJI Inspire 1 Pro
I this slice some pieces out of the back to fit the para rig
Its a BIG but i love it and i can store al my stuf of the inspire in it and also spare spart battery , lenses etc
It is possible let the x5 under the inspire but i like to have it safe so thit some more tweeks
Thank you for sharing pictures. Recenlty I have released 50" cylinder module, need to design the mount for Inspire and it will be complete set.
Also Stop Fall crash sensor is alive now, hope people will like it.
I have included many features which are better than same devices on the market have. Here's a part of description:
Technical specifications:
- crash detection in any position of Stop Fall, even it's rolling around itself
- no need to calibrate before flight, it will do everything by itself
- you can install Stop Fall in any place in any position, not only flat or 90 degrees to the ground
- fall detection within 1 second, ideally to avoid false parachute activations because of sudden wind or extreme turns
- ability to activate Stop Fall manually from free stick on you RC
- complete standalone system if powered with 5-24V (2-6S) battery
- sound alarm and led indicators
- minimal weight and dimensions
- smart designed box can be installed to many places without taking much space
- PC communication to get reports after crash
Photos are here: Stop Fall, Automatic crash detection and parachute deployment system.
And some video is here from test flights

Won't handle 14 inch props.
Best to purchase mayday board and make your own parachute system. Save heaps of money
Just to bring this thread into the here and now...Dose Opale work with Mayday or Stopfall?
Mars 58 looks really sexy but the chute seems a bit small for Inpire 1, no? Alternatively can you rig the Mars to so the inspire falls on its back?
Has anybody yet had to deploy one of these systems in the real world?

...but that has always been a fishy video. Almost like a forced failure.
