I am considering updating my Inspire 2 to V01.02.0600 and ask if anyone out there can advise me on whether to update to this version or not due to previous problems with older versions such as V5 ?

Its been a while since the Inspire 2 firmware V01.02.0500 caused some concerns about premature battery performance and I am sure many pilots did not risk updating. Even when DJI's written advice was the firmware was "important and fixes a critical issue". I was one of those who stayed put...

These hand warmers are extremely safe. Once use only. Eco friendly to dispose of. They don't get mega hot but enough to keep the batteries sufficiently warm to not have any auto warnings of cold batteries and last for 10 hours. I have used them for years although our cold winter temperatures...

I apply the 80 / 20 rule with flight batteries whether this is a multi rotors or helicopters. Keeping 20% available as reserve. Far safer to land and replace a battery than have the aircraft fall from the sky. The only time I push this down a little is with FPV fixed wing aircraft when I have...

With my Inspire Pro / x 5 camera I shoot in 1080p 25 fps and usually fly in ATTI mode and have no problems.

Again the media gets it wrong and we are all the bad guys.

Have we all gone Quackers.

What's this lens like for video. I understand it's ok with stills but not video.

I have to say I have flown RPAircraft for over 40 years and would class myself as an experienced pilot and continue to fly all types of Multi Rotors, Helicopters and Fixed Wing aircraft including my SkyJibX4TiQR which I love, but I have to say I am more than impressed with my Inspire 1 Black Pro...
