The 500mw vtx is not available at this time. I'd wait for the 1w version which is coming... any day now... :(

We have changed all 4 of our Inspires to SharkByte because of the superior digital image. Range is just OK, but it's worth it. We chose SharkByte because we need low latency HDMI out which the DJI FPV system does not provide. We even run SharkByte on all our heavy-lifts.

Dual ops and CineDNG are musts for us, so the M3 doesn’t cut it as an I2 replacement.

We are having the same problem. Camping on here for a response.

Discharge is never very good on these little chargers. But it CAN discharge. Yes, storage, charge, all kinds of battery chemistries. I've had one for years, the second we got maybe 18 months ago and the most recent was just a few months and we decided to get another rather than fool around with...

The 100 watt per channel one? We have 3 and love them. We bought them because our Alta-X came with their 12S 20 amp dual channel bruisers and they are completely awesome!

Thanks for that. All I've ever known is, for this, use Blue, not Red! :)

We're having prop hub bolts back out. Usually these are very difficult to get out, sometimes even requiring heating. I found 4 loose bolts while checking over our Inspires this last time. All of them are factory installed (meaning we've never unscrewed them). NONE of them had Loctite on the...

Yes, zooms are terrible and not something I'd ever include in a video. It's generally accepted that the zoom function of these Oly and Panny pancake lenses are only for changing focal length between shots without having to land. Back in the day the tilt wheel could change focus with one of the...

We We currently use a 1 watt analog 5.8GHz vtx and the Inspire does fine if we lock it to the 2.4GHz band. The analog FPV does well also. So I imagine the 5,8GHz of the DJI FPV system would work well too. And we could go really small and use the Caddx system, which is also supposed to be...

We LOVE the DJI FPV system! We have it on so many of our little quads, 2 Cinewhoops, 3 racers, a 7" freestyle and even a 7" X8! But we need a screen on the Inspire 2, not goggles. The pilot needs to see the cinema camera's view to help him with placement and composition at the same time he's...

That's an interesting solution. But one of the main problems I have with the stock FPV cam is latency during close-proximity flight. The difference between 200ms and < 50ms is night and day. I feel like I'm always playing catch up with the stock camera and it's impossible for me to do close...

DJI products are so highly engineered that reverse engineering them is pretty much impossible in any economically viable way. And investing that effort to produce a 3rd party camera for an end of life craft ( the I1) is a complete non starter.

The automated systems have compromises if you are going for really pro, cinematic shots. The answer is practice. If you are serious about working on high end gigs you need to do it manually and you need to practice. We’ve spent hours and hours out on the road. It takes 3 people. We need a driver...

They did it with a Phantom at Everest high base camp. It was pretty successful. I’d say try it carefully at 5 or 6 feet and see how it does before attempting higher. But the Inspire is more sophisticated about its environment. It may complain about “motor over speed”. This is what it does when...
