Check out my ebay listing. I am taking all reasonable offers. Used Once DJI Inspire 1 PRO Quadcopter Zemuse X5 4K Travel Case Batteries EXTRAS I shoot golf course photography and have had every phantom model. I jumped into the Inspire Pro 1 thsi past Jan. On a warm day (45 degress) I flew it...

I have a question on best setup routine for Inspire 1 Pro (X5). As background, I came from the Phantom 3 Pro world, where you pull everything out of the case, turn on and go. I have setup the IP1 a few times and had issues getting the camera mounted. In one case, I think I might have turned on...

I use Highlands Avaiation. Thanks. I guess I need to pony up again. I looked at AMA but think the insurance is if you are just flying at the clubs. Is that correct?

I have liability insurance for a phantom 3 pro and adding an Inspire 1 Pro. I was told by my sales rep that I needed another policy. I do not have the bird insured. Seems dumb since I can only fly one at a time. Anyone have multiple UAV and have multiple coverage. (I am only talking about...

Anyone using apps for panoramics like DRONE PAN? Also anyone using apps for flight routes? I feel way more comfortable flying with sticks then drawing a line on a map.

Great shots!!!!!!! So just so I have my mind wrapped around it. In the photos above, several photos were used. On the hortizional access. (kind of like using the pano feature on the iPhone.) I imaging if you pan down a bit and replicate the same shots you could get a bigger photo wide and in...

I noticed that a lot of the truly amazing photos on the forums where stitched. I have not do this yet but will start. I realize there is some stitching software for 360 panoramos. I am talking more when some stiches 6 photos together to get a wider field. I think you can do this easy in...

First off, I am a long time Phantom Flyer/Pilot and been stalking this and the DJI forum for along time. Reading, learning, researching. Thanks to everyone who contributes. I am T minus 2 days from receiving my Inspire 1 pro. When I go to upgrade do I grab the latest and greatest Firmware (FW)...

I would contact the client and tell them about the dangers of hiring pilots that do not have commercial aviation insurance. Hiring a hobbiest puts the client/company at tremendous liability risk. I researched and could not find a company that does general business liability and cover UAV. So in...

Whoops...sorry Now that I read everything I see you are not in the USA. ($10,000 is steep..maybe you can recoop by selling your work) Well maybe my sermon can help someone in the USA.

((Continuation from above)) I have been emailing all the golf courses in the area not to have anyone fly a quad/drone on property if they do not have a 333 and more importantly aviation insurance. I tell them to ask to see it. The liability risk is huge because if someone gets hurt, the course...

I did not read anyone replies. (Just have a second) I own a bunch of golf sites. I take photos for golf courses mainly for me and my sites. I justified in my head it was personal until the light bulb went off. If I injury someone or do property damage, I want them to sue the business not me...

Are you shooting in Dng? I would shoot in Dng if you are bracketing. The shots are great but with HDR you shold be able to push the photos farther. Especially lightening the beach. I started working with HDR to bring out more contrast but still look realistic by bringing them into Adobe...

Ah..here is the answer. Doing bracketing in the field gets more data but if you only take one shot doing it at your desk still can create better results.

I realize HDR is taking multiple photos bracketed (for example regular shot and 1 over exposed and 1 under) I was using my Phantom 3 (do not crucify me for being on here yet..have a follow up question) I shot in DNG's. I opened each photo in photoshop and bumped the exposure up 1.00 hit save...
