Ok, just got back from Cabo, and no hassles at all. Flew Southwest Airlines, transported the Inspire in a Pelican case as a check-in, and hand carried the batteries. The Inspire arrived in the oversized luggage area, even though it wasn't checked in as oversized. At customs, they scanned the...

Has anyone traveled to Cabo San Lucas, Baja in the last month? I know Mexico recently released some drone regulations, and I'm interested to see if there has been any sort of enforcement in place yet. Has anyone been hassled for whatever reason because they brought their Inspire? In...

I contacted B&H and they said they haven't heard anything yet.

Anyone know how these helix antennas would mount onto the controller? It looks like the board with the antennas would just flop down unless there was some sort of mounting point that you would attach them to?

The protocol that was listed isn't really anything out of the ordinary. Per the instruction manual, it's one of the ways that you can update the firmware. The automated update through the DJI Pilot app notification hasn't really been discussed, and I've never updated it that way, so it seems...

I didn't even use the app/tablet when I updated. According to the instructions, just download the file, put the SD card in, watch the tail light and listen to the beeps.

Followed these instructions and it update went fine for me. One slight difference: * While updating the drone, it started with the BB-BB sound and the rapid flashing yellow tail light. After approximately 10 mins, the sound switched to a B-BB sound but the tail light was still flashing a...

InspiredOne, how are you updating the firmware? Are you doing it through the Pilot app, or are you downloading the firmware on your computer and saving it directly to the microSD card, and inserting it into the drone? I'm not sure which way is better, but on the last update, I downloaded the...

Anyone know the difference between a microUAS and a small UAS, and which category the Inspire falls into? It looks like the new regs propose an exemption for microUAS for flying above people (other than operators). "Proposes a microUAS option that would allow operations in Class G airspace...

After reading the proposed regs, it looks like they categorize 2 different types of UAS - micro and small. The micro ones are allowed to fly over people. "Proposes a microUAS option that would allow operations in Class G airspace, over people not involved in the operation, provided the...

Thomas, did the duct tape just take up the slack/gap between the carbon fiber arm and the t-bar clam shell?

I picked up a shield about a week ago, and it still had kitkat on it, so I went through the upgrade to lollipop. No issues using DJI Pilot with it. Previously I was using a Nexus 7 tablet with lollipop and no issues with the app on that either.

Hey Roland, did you buy your Inspire directly from DJI or a re-seller? I got mine from a re-seller (B&H), but they haven't made any mention of a gasket. I wonder if the people that purchased directly from DJI would get it.

Android app 1.0.5 released on 2/5/2015

I ordered my drone from B&H and today I got an email from them saying that they should be getting the prop locks in a couple of days. So I called them to see if I could order an extra set of prop locks with the same shipment so I wouldn't have to pay extra for shipping. They ended up doing it...
