I got this a long time ago when I needed something to charge the batteries for my CrystalSky. It has been sitting in my house unused for the past three years, so I just want it gone. Product link: https://www.adorama.com/fslfs30.html

You have some very compelling shots too! ? I am relieved to see that it is not just me that is seeing this behavior. I am using a 15mm lens. Compositing the shots is for when you might want a "streak of lights" effect.

I have an X5S with a Panasonic Summilux 15mm f/1.7. Word is that some Inspire 2 aircraft are not 100% stable at hover. I got mine used. Also, I should clarify that the screenshot was the worst of the bunch and is at 400% zoom.

Hey, everybody! I put almost an hour on the aircraft yesterday from 30 minutes before sunrise to almost 30 minutes after sunset. In previous night flights, I have noticed that shutter speeds slower than 0.5 seconds typically do not come out sharp because of what some people call the "DJI...

Aww, man, what a bummer! :( Best of luck in your future endeavors!

I should also add that the Mavic 2 is not a bad drone at all! My use cases are: Site survey and dry runs, lower "tiers" of service, confined spaces, or when I need to get an aircraft in the air ASAP.

I have been curious about the handle grips ... might that help with compass calibration and hand takeoff/landing?

I got an Inspire 2 late November 2020 and have been nothing less than ... well ... inspired. For photos, HDR is achieved by using the automatic exposure bracketing function; and for video, HDR is just how you color grade. Shoot in RAW and D-Log, and you will have a solid foundation to build your...

I hire out the nail clipping part ... don’t want to risk cutting too far. Also, that’s a dress the dog’s wearing, so it’s a “she.”

This is my dog, Garland! She does not care for my drones one bit, but I love her dearly! She is a therapy dog with Happy Tails Pet Therapy. I look forward to when visits are allowed again! Let's see your dogs!

Watch out for those bulging batteries ... they'll bulge harder than what I'm seeing of that used Inspire 2 I bought from Adorama!

Wow, this is a hard choice, folks! For $500, I can buy a Mavic Mini (1st gen) Fly More Combo new from a reputable retailer or this from a sketch Craigslist guy! ?

Thank you for your patience. I absolutely never use the self-discharge feature; and so far, all the batteries slip in easily. Batteries are cheap, so I will plan on getting some new ones. Good put on observing the cells when I go full throttle up ... I'll definitely try that! Do I have to put...

Thank you. I will trust my instincts and replace the batteries; but cut me a break, man! I bought the aircraft used — I received the batteries in this condition! First thing I did with it was do the 50-hour/200-landing inspection, clean it, and replace the gimbal dampers. But you’re right ... I...

I am getting about 8-9 minutes of flight for each battery set before I land at about 50% battery (I will explain why I do that at the end). That is a far cry from the 13.5 minutes (half of 27 minutes) that is advertised, so I am curious as to where I am getting my penalties from ... Payload...
