    Drones to replace in-store sales people?

    Maybe not so fast. But still pretty cool... http://www.engadget.com/2015/03/05/crocs-midair-shoe-store-drones/

    Firmware Update v1.2.0.17 Available

    Another idea in case you can't reach DJI... put the USB stick (with firmware) into the remote controller, then turn it on and let it just sit that way until it either starts to upgrade or runs out of battery. If it runs out of battery, recharge and try again. It's possible that a full shut down...

    Firmware Update v1.2.0.17 Available

    Hmmm... you should contact DJI for advice, then. I find that at this time of day they answer their chat line pretty quickly. I had a similar problem with the remote on the phantom. It was so dead no lights would go on. But it turned out it wasn't dead. I was able to update it even though no...

    Firmware Update v1.2.0.17 Available

    Luke, Did the remote controller go through the full update procedure (blue light, then green) and now it doesn't work? If that's what happened, you may just need to re-link the remote to the aircraft. Instructions are on page 32 of the user manual.

    How does it connect to the Inspire app, via WiFi or USB cable?

    I'm going to wait until we know for sure it doesn't have any fly-away problems :-)

    INSPIRE 1 data Cable for iPad / iPhone

    I purchase this one and it is just long enough. http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00P76UFDO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Firmware Update v1.2.0.17 Available

    Not sure what Steve did, but here's what you may want to try (and always works for me): Attach the camera/gimbal to the aircraft with the micro SD card inserted and the firmware loaded in the card. Leave the remote control turned off. Turn on the aircraft and it will go through its normal...

    Firmware Update v1.2.0.17 Available

    Well, I haven't upgraded yet to know for sure, but it does suggest that issues like "loss of GPS lock" and "gimbal twitch" were probably not resolved in this version.

    She almost flew into my house, with no stick input!

    The general consensus on its cause is a loss of GPS lock, which puts the Inspire in ATTI mode. When in ATTI mode the aircraft can drift, and in windy or gusty conditions can appear to have a mind of its own and seemingly accellerate unexpectedly. It generally regains GPS lock after a few...

    I don't experience this issue with my Phantom 2V+. It's why I believe it can/will be dealt with in a new firmware release. On the new version of the Phantom they even made improvements to the compass, which came out prior to the Inspire. So DJI has solid experience with making it work. I'm...

    SOLD: Barely Used Inspire For Sale (San Diego)

    I'm not offering, but I think just $100 off the list price is probably too high given it's already been used and there's always a risk buying from an individual. For $100 it's worth buying brand new and taking zero risk. I do believe you can probably do better than $1,499. I'm guessing $2,000 to...

    I've had this happen numerous times..laselvasurf is correct -- it's important to be prepared for sudden changes in behavior as it does switch to ATTI mode often, especially after first taking off. The key is to expect it and remain calm. The Inspire will respond quickly and correctly to your...
