Is your nosecone painted/stickered? I am thinking if so, the material used is causing blockage. Honestly, no one else complains about the nosecone causing problems. If issues till persist, I would say you need a new lightbridge module as an entire assembly including the antenna.

DJI does not produce batteries themselves. They have a well known supplier that produces a lot of high quality cells used in premium products (tablets, laptops, cellphones,etc). As far as inside industry information, good luck. Basically everything I have learned is due to spending thousands...

Actually, "other suppliers" is the real problem. Long story short is the fact that in China if a company is "state sponsered" it has all the protections of the Chinese government, which includes product protections kinda like patent protections here, but in a way that no-one will ever attempt...

That is because I was originally in contact with the supplying company in China and they failed to provide proper capacity packs. They also are not balanced and impedence matched individual cells in each pack. That was why I cut ties and abandoned using them as a supplier. The capacities and...

Just so you guys know, the 6000mAh is actually closer to 4200-4300mAh in operation. Basically the "big one" is more like a TB47 DJI OEM than a TB48. ie, you cannot trust their ratings. They lie. Big surprise. NOT!

Sorry about the late reply, but I agree with Donnie, it is a X5R hardware issue. Send it into DJI and see what they quote for a repair. If you are lucky it will be less than $300. Money well spent for that camera.

Buy a dead TB47 and swap the smartboard in it. Ignore the cycle count on the new one and just run a charge/discharge/charge cycle to see the proper capacity.

Quite frankly, to call people "trolls" because they are motivating someone to do their own research is pretty obnoxious. As Donnie stated, it is not like the guy knows the app backwards and forwards and asked some sort of obscure question. He asked a BASIC question that anyone that uses the...

This thread is VERY old. There have been many newer threads on this. It sounds like you purchased a defective Inspire 1 setup. Both cameras sound like they have either firmware or mechanical problems. If the cameras go limp on startup, your only option if you cannot do a forced upgrade (look...

If the X3 works just fine and the X5 goes limp then you more than likely have bricked the X5 camera. If that is the case you have to send it into DJI for repair (around $300 cost all said and done). A lot of people have bricked the X5 camera via a firmware upgrade. Doesn't matter if the...

niki, actually people using the older DJI batteries are fine because they have the technology and higher-end cells that will allow them to use them safely. Basically if there is an issue the aircraft will force a landing. If there is a problem it will not just "shut off" without warning in the...

Actually, I do believe I have a technical brief that outlines the camera fixes themselves here somewhere... I know the changes for the X5 series included white balance, aperture and color map fixes. ie, for the X5 they are more or less "required" to get the best possible image out of the X5...

Actually I have not found them able to "brick" a X3 via a firmware rollback. Only the X5 series can be brick because of a firmware rollback. So, in essence, ANY X3 camera firmware can be used to rollback an aircrafts firmware. What you end up with is the camera also running the rolled-back...

Bison, I take it you used the force file to downgrade? If so, and the second picture is what it shows you should be all good. Since your log file is so extensive, why did you attempt to do so many 1.11.1.50 upgrades? Honestly, you grabbed the wrong .txt file. You grabbed the status file not...

Actually it is not theory. I have running dual TB47 and dual TB48 battery setups. All I am hearing now (please, correct me if I am wrong) is that only a viable "cheap" option is wanted, and anything that is professionally produced at a reasonable (but not cheap) price is not desired. That is...
