I had exactly the same problem with my RC's USB port. Sent back to DJI for repairs... took several weeks but works perfectly now (or should, but that's a different issue that has more to do with trees than electronics :eek:).

OK, took it to the dealer today. As luck would have it, they had spare parts on order, and the replacement boom should be arriving at some point next week. Hopefully means I'll be airborne by next weekend. Having fun with my micro quad in the meantime :D

Sorry to hear about your RC! Mine arrived like that - wouldn't connect to my iPad, wouldn't connect to a borrowed Android phone, wouldn't update firmware... wouldn't even light up the LED of the card reader I was using for the firmware update. I ended up having to send it in to DJI, who...

I had similar symptoms when my Inspire first arrived. As it turns out, my RC had a faulty USB port out of the box. I remember reading somewhere (no clue where) that it's an oddly failure-prone component... sent back to DJI, returned pretty quickly, and it's worked well since. I've heard of...

That's what I feared... I'll call the DJI dealer to see if they can order the part and do it here, to avoid shipping the whole thing back and forth (which might be as expensive as the repair itself)...

Neither - it snapped, but not all the way through. The boom bends slightly at the break (which I'm sure is the cause of the oscillation I found in the video), but otherwise appears to be straight and level when unstressed.

OK - no flights this evening, as the weather doesn't allow. Here are my test results: 0) Check gimbal for smoothness throughout range of motion Result: OK 1) Auto-calibrate gimbal Result: OK 2) Check for image oscillation while unpowered on ground Result: OK 3) Check for image oscillation...

Interesting thought - I didn't notice anything unusual while handling it, and in the startup sequence it went through its usual motions without anything looking off - but it's definitely worth looking at. Stay tuned!

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll try auto-calibrating the gimbal to see if that does it. I hadn't considered the possibility of internal gimbal damage, but I shouldn't rule it out. My first thought was that it might be due to an aircraft vibration/oscillation, but maybe it's the gimbal. The...

Hi everyone, First of all, hello and thank you to everyone who's made this community such a helpful resource! I've technically had my Inspire 1 for a few months, but a big portion of those were flightless due to a bum USB port on the controller that never allowed me to perform the initial...
