    Vehicle mount Inspire 2

    I am a few steps behind you on the same path. We had one of Inspire 2 meet with an immovable object and it was beyond repair but the Cinecore, FC, power, and SSD all survived intact. I tore it down, removed the arms, fixed broken wires and it works nicely for both X5S and X7 recording ProRes and...

    White Balancing Tip - Has Anyone Tried This?

    Unless you don't care much about the quality of the final product, you're going to change the color balance when editing. So pick a number between 4500 and 5500, lock it in and adjust as needed when editing.

    I was arrested for flying a drone

    Judging by what's written on the ticket, we'll probably find out more on Monday.

    USA ”Custom airspace” on AIRMAP?

    You should get rid of AirMap. Not only do they provide inaccurate maps, they are also against having amateur and commercial small drone operators flying above 200ft. If you want to check airspace and any special restrictions, etc., you should reference skyvector.com or Foreflight or any other...

    Blew my 2nd high pay film job! Please chime in.

    Haven't read through this thread. Kinda got stuck on the "I am knocking it out of the park", kickin' butts and taking names on film sets followed by the explanation of using your finger to aim the camera, not getting the shot 7 times in a row and being replace by a jib. First of all, if you're...

    Whats our gear worth these days? Closing our aerial business down :( and having a moan

    Sorry to hear you're shutting down shop. If I were still in London when I first became curious about drones, my excitement would probably have been stifled by the CAA's Draconian limitations. Here in the US, even with more reasonable rules, I see people breaking them often. And that's almost...

    Inspire 2 fallen out of sky... please help

    Well, the "motor obstructed" message that immediately preceded the loss of control may be a clue. You should pull the log files so that they can be evaluated. Could be some debris got into the motor or possibly and ESC or motor problem.

    Motor Stop Issue????

    There have been reports of weird behavior on the newer firmware when shutting down that may be related to this. No matter what, best to hold throttle down. The CSC is not recommended.

    Inspire 2 Falls fromd the Sky, arm problem?

    I've heard that putting the drone in and out of travel mode on rough ground can put a lot of stress on the mounts. I don't ever put mine into travel mode as they live in landing mode cases but worth noting for those that do. And I still check the mounts before flying each day.

    Singer v. City of Newton-(Case Declaring Local Drone Law Illegal)

    Surprised no one else has responded. It is important. We finally have a precedent for federal preemption. Apparently the decision was well thought out and well written too.

    Restart Mac for cinelight to see files

    They will never fix this. If you have a method of making it work, stick with it. I never got Cinelight to read the SSD on my 5K iMac. My macbook does thankfully but only if the SSD is mounted before any other external drives and sometimes it still requires a reboot.
