    Phantom 4 Pro (don't shoot me) - battery error and subsequent spaz out

    Send it to DJI... we have had about 8 causes to send our birds back... they have ALWAYS been fast, efficient and very reasonable ($185 for a completely demolished P4P) you get back a brand new P4P (for all intents and purposes) will always recommend DJI service... have no reason to buy any of...

    ...literally.

    ** SOLD ** Mavic 2 Pro with Fly More Kit and Extras $1,250.00

    Mahalo... just bought it on your web site... Getting it as another back up... as the M3 won't accept Litchi for some time...We have 3 of the drone guard 250's, they are by far the best backpack case on the market for the Mavic/Air line... Fantastic case... In my "go" drone bag that I always...

    Laugh for the Day

    Yeah remember this one, remember my thoughts were "what an idiot". There was another classic of an Inspire in a gym where he just plain flew it into a wall. Sheesh.

    Ground Risk for Pilots & uninvolved people.

    Very sound advice... I am your doppelgänger here in Hawaii, but we use Litchi - been trying to grasp DroneLInk, but my feeble 70 yo brain can't handle it... Litchi is so simple to plan and execute... pus, I like the fact that it uploads to the aircraft the flight path and WP's, so in the event...

    New Inspire 2 Firmware Released (12/9/2021)

    I assume the date was a typo... is reads 2022.12.09 or are they "predicting" they will fix it in a years time and we should wait?

    Inspired Fraud (Pun intended)

    Yep... get one of these a month at first went along with it as the property he referenced with TMK#'s was legit and was for sale... I pass it every day, it was a commercial piece... priced the job accordingly $20k+ and he asked if I could also pay the surveyor another $6k + $1k extra for my...

    Crystal Sky reliability

    The only issues we get are "over heating" and indeed one of our CSU had to be sent in for repair... Costly proposition compared to our repair experience with the drones... think it was 675 to replace the video board... after much griping and pointing out how much we have spent with them they...

    For the Fun - Inspire 2 Skin Wrap - Orange

    We wrap all our birds in Safety Orange (the air 2s we tried safety Yellow) and I disagree with your original statement that it doesn't help spotting... here in Hawaii it is extremely hard to see a phantom when it is 500+ ft from you and 200 ft up... but with the orange, you can see a speck of...

    Crystal Sky Hood Latch

    In all other regards I love this hood... but those latches are really flimsy (not tight) and pop off all the time. Good luck. And as usual... all things Crystal Sky we are on our own. In every other service situation 7 or so times now... DJI has surpassed my expectations in speed of repair...

    What do you charge for photos or video?

    I just did and my critique (not criticism - you can charge what ever you like mate) stands. $65 for even one acre is _still_ insane. And you don't know where I live... yes Hawaii, but in Puna... So again, if given the whole "cost of living" thing... your $65 + 106% = $133 - still not worth it...

    What do you charge for photos or video?

    $65 all I can say is WOW!!! after you point out all the well reasoned examples of the intricacies of pricing and mention "what is your time etc worth" you give an example of shooting a 200 acre job for $65 - WOW... Our birds don't even lift off the ground for less than $350 then post production...

    Inspire 2 andd Litchi compatibility

    This was back in 2018... any updates... frustrated that there isn't more info out there on it... came across this thread by chance... Reason we invested in the I2 was the 360º gimbal... felt for sure Litchi, which we do most of our inspections with, would take advantage of this and keep the bird...
