Inspire 2. 55 hrs. Bad cell on battery. Recent firmware update fixed it. Glad I didn't throw it out. Spring on second battery release won't push second battery out. Locks and unlocks though. Not a big deal to me. Probably an easy fix. Bird performs fantastic.purchased last...

I’ve been told mec shutter is best for mapping. Rolling shutter not as good. I’ve been mapping with an x5s and will purchase an x4s for mapping because of some trouble wth flights over 250 images. Has to do with accumulation of error with the rolling shutter. IMHO

Yes you are correct........sometimes I just want an orthophotograph for sketch or presentation purposes and the end results for most of these softwares require some manipulation in another software first. .A 600MB orthophoto tif file will never open on my laptop but will in autocadd or Esri Arc...

I have used PiX4D, Correlator 3D, Bently, Propeller, Datumate, Maps Made Easy, and Precision Mapper. All seem to be in the range of 300 a month except Precision Mapper is free for 5 maps per month. All, except Maps Made Easy and Precision Mapper are located on your computer. Precision Mapper...

If the x4s and x5s work on the Inspire 2 and the M200 series, why can't this xT2 work on the Inspire 2 ?? Just wondering.

I contacted DJI to ask if the Inspire 2 could have its GPS upgraded to those systems presently used on their Matrice 210s. They said no. So I doubt a different mfgrs unit would integrate easily. IMHO.

I agre NickU, I have an I2 and have used a smaller bird for paying jobs that required many locations to be covered in a couple of hours where all that was needed were oblique images of various rural road intersections. Setting up and taking down the I2 would have taken too long. The smaller...

I agree..... I plan each flight with Drone Deploy, Maps Made Easy, and DJI GS Pro and the one that works the best in the field that particular day is the one I use. Not much to say for consistency but after flying autonomous missions the last year this saves me from returning to the field. I...

Will the I2 fit in it's standard case with the 1/2 inch ones on?

FAA is requiring ADS-B in all maned aircraft by 2020. ADS-Bs are presently installed in the DJI 200 series. Uavionix has a $190.00 DJI SDK compatable. I believe one of their models is preinstalled in the 200s but not sure. I am inquiring to DJI to see id they can be installed into an I2...

Different approach............ I'm a professional.......I perform topographic surveys for an engineering firm. I2 On three occasions this year 2017.... I had to disrupt autonomous flight to move out of the way for small aircraft. I was flying 325 ft AGL..very annoying. All legal flight areas...

I was able to do this. Recharged batteries, one still had cell error in go 4. Did it twice. Still cell error. Now when I replace this battery I will be pairing it with one that has 22 charges on it. Anyone see a problem with this?

Does it work to discharge to 5% per DJI screen instructions and recharge after getting a cel error on a battery? Will this fix the error? I've done it once with no luck. Battery has 20 charges on it but is a year old. Three other batteries same age are perfect.

Thank you for your response. 3 acres, 150 Ft AGL, approx 130 images, Inspire 2 with x5s DJI 15mm lens with 5-6 GCPoints. Remove building, poles, electrical lines, shrubs. Wanting Digital terrain model las. point cloud to create contours. Ortho as well. I find that DTM out of Pix4D does too much...

I too am interested in some one helping me out with mapping with Pix 4D.
