I upgraded to 1.3 a few days ago on my Inspire 1. I followed all the normal and recommended upgrades and procedures. The next day I went to fly, everything was fine until RTH popped up as I was getting ready to land. I tried hitting cancel on my phone and it was completely unresponsive. I tried to manually land it and the sticks on the controller were unresponsive as well, I couldn't do anything as it was hovering 5 feet off the ground in front of me. Once the 10 seconds ran out for RTH it launched itself up 30 feet into a tree and fell straight down snapping off the gimbal and camera. Other things are tweaked as well. I immediately called DJI and they didn't seem surprised. They sent me a pre paid FedEx label to send it back, and then stated the repair time frame was EIGHT weeks!! They said they will need to look at it "to make sure it was a defect". I hope they are nice enough to fix it for no cost. I sent it away on this past Thursday... so I will be with out it for a while. I am just glad it didn't happen on set or during an important shoot. Upgraders BEWARE!
