That's interesting... (I have been having similar problems). I just noticed that my Go app (iOS) has "location while using app" turned on. I wonder what will happen if I turn this off (in iOS general settings)? Does the app think I've moved locations by using the the RC GPS or does it use iOS...

I've been able to upgrade with the X5 fitted. My conclusion is that, being an Inspire 1 (not Pro, but an early aircraft now fitted with an X5), I had to upgrade the aircraft firmware using the X3 camera, before repeating again with the X5 camera (and as Picmaker has noted, ensuring I use the BIN...

No luck upgrading via the X5 with any bin files, but after a few attempts I've just successfully upgraded using the old X3 and the Inspire 1 (not pro, raw or x5) BIN file. Haven't flown it, but all symptoms and instruments look good. I'm hoping that it'll now take an update through X5 to update...

No, but I've been busy with other things and haven't put much time into it since I posted. Still keen on any advice or tips

Hi, Haven't used my Inspire for a few months, but decided to blow the dust off and upgrade the firmware. Last time I used it it was working fine. Inspire 1 (originally with x3, now with x5) - was running firmware 1.4.0.10 (aircraft) and 1.1.0.40 (X5 camera) RC was running 1.5.70 ( i think) I...

Scotflieger is correct. I updated the aircraft using the X3, and then again with the X5 (and I also updated all of the batteries). I can switch between the X3 and X5 whenever I like and it works perfectly. You may notice that the aircraft is a little more tricky during delicate manoeuvres when...

Hmmm, I successfully updated the X5 camera firmware (to 1.1.0.40) and now I notice that the (previously updated via X3) Aircraft firmware has a little + sign after it... i.e. 1.4.00.10+ I can't be sure, but I don't remember seeing that before upgrading the camera using the Pro firmware.

I'm about to install an X5 camera/gimbal and V2 mounting board as an upgrade to my Inspire 1. I'm quite comfortable with the upgrade process and firmware requirements etc, but my question is: if I want to switch back to using my X3 for a particular flight (e.g. perhaps a difficult environment...

Thanks InspiredOne, I appreciate your work. I wholeheartedly agree that the video is too long overall and most of the individual scenes also. I think there are some great and valid points raised, and I will apply them in my future editing (note that this was my real attempt; as a primarily...

Thanks for the comments guys, all appreciated. Yes, I agree, segments are too long and it is also too long overall. I got carried away, but in my defence I mainly produced it as a souvenir of the trip for my father, and then couldn't resist putting it on youtube! Very happy to receive feedback...

Thanks Spool. There is so much to film in Central Australia I'm planning to go back down there as soon as the folks have gone home, its only a 1400km drive ;-) I bought mine from an Australian supplier, from local stock, ordered on a sunday and arrived on the wednesday, in time for my birthday...

Hi everyone, I'm relatively new to the world of the Inspire 1 and aerial videography (I usually concentrate on underwater photography!). This is my first real attempt at some proper flying and filming while on a recent visit to Alice Springs with my elderly parents (who are not ideal flying...
