    Johnson Valley California Off-road fun

    Nice job! That being said, I've gotten the same critique on the lengths of the cuts on my own videos. A shorter and faster paced cut is probably better for general consumption. I've also experienced a challenge in matching up exposures of two cameras. In my case, I'm using the osmo as a dash...

    Inspire 1 Transport Durability

    Nice video! The go pro turned out some great shots! Look forward to seeing what you can put together with the Inspire. It's really more bird than one should take on off-road adventures, but the range, speed and camera make for some awesome shots. I'm interested to see if you have some sxs...

    Inspire 1 Transport Durability

    . . . .ummm, yes. I have a little experience with this. I mounted a GPC landing mode case to my Can Am Maverick and have probably logged about 300-400 miles of driving with the Inspire with the gimbal attached. I don't think the Inspire and gimbal are as fragile as many people would have you...

    Has anyone taken off on top of a 50+ metre tall building before? A client is requesting that we do

    Anyone use the home lock advanced flight option to return home? Like many others here I prefer to avoid RTH. I've done this a couple of times now and think its the best way to get home quickly. One can fly at full speed with the added advantage of skipping manual yaw adjustments. If...

    Stable, affordable and AVAILABLE stand?

    . . . It would take a strong breeze. If I just want to set it down for a second, I just put it to sleep and lay it on its side. Otherwise it only takes about 30 seconds to put it in this kind of kickstand configuration. I wouldn't want the phone attached if doing a tripod style pano or time...

    Stable, affordable and AVAILABLE stand?

    . . . ummmm, why not do this? . . . works for pano's and time lapse. Just saying. . .

    Got Inspire 1 X3 to work with Osmo but...

    What? The Inspire x3 doesn't lock onto the osmo handle? I have a handle on backorder with the bike mount and intended to use it as a dash mounted camera on my UTV. If it can't be locked down its going to be worthless to me. Is there any way one can get more security out of it by using a zip...

    Polaris Slingshot Shoot w/ DJI Aerial Platforms – Mike Mas

    I've tried this both ways, as a passenger and as the driver. For example, this other video was shot riding the passenger seat as you described. Aside from using course lock to fly backwards, here are other lessons I've learned: (1) It is best to practice driving your route without the craft...

    A Look at Amazon Prime Air

    I might have missed it here in the exchange, but are the proposing these craft would fly autonomously? Certainly I think it is technologically feasible, but it appears it would be a big leap to take. . . . it's one thing for these deliveries to take place under the control of a licensed pilot...

    Polaris Slingshot Shoot w/ DJI Aerial Platforms – Mike Mas

    One still needs to fly it by the sticks using course lock; however, course lock allows you to fly the inspire backwards in a much more intuitive way. To capture the following video, I flew the inspire forward, while the camera was facing backwards. Generally this worked, but the angle of the...

    Polaris Slingshot Shoot w/ DJI Aerial Platforms – Mike Mas

    Nice job! Curious. Did you use the course lock on the Inspire to fly it backwards for those tracking shots of the front of the Slingshot? Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using Tapatalk

    Problem with GoProfessional Case - Inspire 1 Landing Mode Case

    Of course I'm worried about it. . . . but I do it anyways.

    Problem with GoProfessional Case - Inspire 1 Landing Mode Case

    Doh! It's the same in mine and I never noticed. With time, it appears the constant pressure has created a little dimple in the arm area foam on each side. The front feet now appear to hit paydirt. Despite this flaw, I don't think the bird has suffered any damage from what I would...

    Questions for commercial/profressional users

    In my opinion, the integrated checklist is the best enhancement that could be brought to the DJI app. It's such an apparent need that its shocking they haven't integrated one yet. To be clear, it should be a checklist that not only allows you to customize the list, but it should also serve to...

    Changes to Low Battery Return to Home in the new Firmware v1.3.0

    That is disappointing to hear FlymeaRiver. I agree, DJI should take some accountability for this flaw. What good is a 10 second warning if the craft starts acting autonomously before the time expires? All users should be sensitive to this behavior, especially since it is common for people to...
