Just a thought... "Drones" are considered aircraft by the FAA, hence, if you pay attention to the Federal law concerning shooting at an aircraft, you will have your answer to the issue of discharging a firearm (read that definition too) at an aircraft. I, for one will not be too kind to a person...

Is there a way to find the last known position of the Inspire if it goes down? My thoughts are that I will be flying over the bush and rivers in Alaska and if during the return the wind kicks up and the quad can't make it back, how do I find it? Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks, Dennis

Thanks for the link to the battery warmer.

Thanks, I was being a little sarcastic there........ I figured it was battery temp. Dennis

So I guess DJI doesn't want anyone living in the north having an Inspire. It is below 15c/59f 300 days a year here.......

Thanks for the reply. I'm sure glad you landed it OK. It is encouraging that the machine could handle that much wind. Have you inadvertently flown it in the rain, got caught in a shower? Thanks, Dennis

I do not feel my question is unwise. I have more than 35 years experience operating aircraft in marginal environments. I did photography as a side avocation since the '80s. I do know about inclement weather and rain or ice on a lens. I also am well aware of propellers, aerodynamics and the...

I must have read right over it. I was wondering if anyone went against the manual and had operated in the rain or snow. I'm sure the reason for DJI stating to not fly in smog is for reduced visibility, I cannot think of any reason smog would affect the performance. I guess they are protecting...

Well, I live in a place where nice weather and the time I can schedule to fly do not necessarily coincide. Yes water on a lens degrades quality. I am not questioning what my imagery will look like, I am questioning if either one of these quads can handle the moisture. I certainly don't want an...

Can someone enlighten me about operating the Inspire or Matrice 600 in light rain or snow? I'm curious if it is an absolute no-no or if it can be done ok? Thanks, Dennis
