Thanks to everyone for the help. It has been raining for a few days so I have not been able to drain the batteries again. Good news is that they have been performing fine on the flights even with the warning. I just kept the bird closer than I normally would have just in case. Now that the new...

Thanks Editor, I ran them down to 3% (dji app) and the batteries turned off themselves and wouldn't turn back on - I let them cool and re-charged and I am still getting the warning. This happened 2x on 2 different batteries and I am still getting the warning. I am at a loss

I was getting a warning stating that my batteries needed to be discharged to 5% then recharged. I flew until 10%, landed and left the copter on until 3%, powered down and recharged and still have the same warning. I have done this 2x per battery now and still getting the warning ??? any advice...

Ummm, not sure what they were trying to do, but it is pretty darn dumb. I am guessing this will bring more bad press to our industry. Notice how he throws the drone into the crowd once it starts cutting his hand. http://www.cnn.com/2015/05/31/entertainment/enrique-iglesias-drone-feat/index.html

My pleasure tbarnesarc! Carlos was supposed to join us in Pavones last weekend but it didn't work out. We are trying to get him this week but the swell is small right now and they crew leaves Thursday. Hoping it works out! Paz

Mossie, this place is amazing, especially from the air. Check out my flickr page for a few shots of Costa. https://www.flickr.com/photos/costaricatroubadour/

Definitely not a dumb question!!!! You are right that a slow shutter speed can produce blurred effect but I have not been able to get correct exposure with a shutter speed slower than 1/120 during the day, even with the nd filter that came with the I1 and, I am usually around 1/240 or 1/360. So...

Yes, "Balance The Movie"

We have been shooting for a extreme sport movie that is coming out in Sept. 2015. The last few weeks we have been getting the final shots for the movie and I have been learning tons about the Inspire over this time while flying nearly 50 flights last week. I was flying Phantom 2 before. Our...

Ha ha ha, that is the client. I asked him to leave me in the villa by myself but his curiosity wouldn't let him do it. He followed me around like a puppy. It was funny. I was able to time the cut to get my ugly mug out of the micro but not his

Awesome. I am going to print this out and keep with me until it is engrained in my brain. It does bring up one question that I keep forgetting to ask but always err on the side of caution. Do you need to power down the I1 after exiting travel mode and before you attach the camera? I always do...

Thanks for the kind words about the video. It was shot at the north end of Playa Hermosa de Osa in the southern pacific zone of Costa Rica. There is a famous surf spot called Playa Hermosa in the central zone just south of Jaco. This Hermosa is more beautiful, less crowded and about 2 hours...

Could it be that your shutter speed is too high?

Been working the last few days and missed the Firmware release. Just updated and will fly tomorrow. Hope all is well. Looks like I will be reading threads for the next few hours.

It's a quickie. Full video coming with more of these landscapes. We were getting the biggest swell of the season during this shoot. Actually had some issue with the app during this flight but will post that in the Help forum. I hope you enjoy!
