I'm excited to use my I2 with X7 for mapping in addition to cinematography, and was thrilled to realize that it has a mechanical shutter option in photo mode up to 1/1000. However, the most efficient flight plan asks for a 16mm lens, but according to the official Zenmuse X7 product page, the...

I hope you're all doing well in these crazy coronavirus times. I wanted to make a short film so deeply relaxing that everything else falls away for a whole nine minutes. I made it because I needed it, and figure it might be soothing for other people as well. So if you need a breather and have a...

Thanks! Yeah, I see that on airmap, and also compared it to the B4UFLY app. Interesting that B4UFLY doesn't mark any of it as off limits - it just marks federal public land designated as National Parks as off limits. **side note - I know to always do more research and never trust that entirely...

I'm trying to parse through what's allowed on different federal public lands when it comes to flying my Inspire 2. I know it's SUPER banned in National Parks, but I've read in a lot of places that it's generally okay in National Forest and on BLM land (Bureau of Land Management land). The UAV...

Thanks for all the input! I'm definitely all for in-person dual-operator practice, developing strong communication between the pilot and camera op, and being a solid solo pilot. That said, I like to have both real world and simulator practice. I learned to fly single operator by practicing with...

Hi there, I have the I2 and am starting to get work that would be best as a dual operator set-up. I've practiced a bit with another pilot, but want to hone my camera op skills as much as possible. Obviously it's best to practice in person, but I'm also curious if there's a good simulator for...

I just bought this AC outlet portable charger that I'm about to try with my Inspire and Mavic 2 Pro controllers. I'll just keep the controller plugged into the batter pack on my person when flying. Found the suggestion on a DJI thread from a Mavic pilot who said it worked. Perhaps worth looking...
