I did it myself. Takes about an hour, just take your time. I followed this video which pretty much matches the Inspire 2 controller setup. The kit comes with a Phillips screwdriver and Allen wrench but they are pretty cheesy. I used my own Allen wrench kit (bought it at Walmart) and I...

Lets just say they are not lying on their website about the range compared to the standard antenna / controller configuration. Just keep in mind that you always have to be pointing the Patch in the direction of the bird as it gets farther away from you.

I thought I might mention that the 4hawks XR patch antenna for the original controller works really well with regards to trees and forest getting in the way of your signal. I know that I have had better success with 5.8 than 2.4 with regards to the woods. I did a video last weekend where I could...

I think the Olympus 25mm for Real Estate is a great choice. The combo of the DJI and the 25mm can give you a zoom / or punch in that looks great. Also, if you use ProRes you will get more dynamic range, color range, and less noise in low light. The h264 is very sharp and looks great, but you...

You will get more dynamic range and the colors will be better represented with more of them. H264 looks sharper but you can sharpen ProRes in post. Try comparing low light shots and you will see a big difference. I recently did a video of a sunrise and it was very dark and the h264 can handle...

I had the same issue with my previous 25mm. I bought a new one and it is better but just not as crisp as the DJI native lens. Try to see if you test before you buy for the Olympus 25mm lens. Here is my latest video with the 25mm and you can see that center frame is sharper than both the left and...

I would try using ProRes for Sunrise and Sunset. Although it is softer than h264 the colors and HDR you gets for these types of shots cannot be denied. The h264 is very sharp but also adds more noise as well. I was amazed looking at my ProRes compared to h264 for the following video.

DJI Ground Station Pro is a not that good compared to Litchi. I am trying Autopilot as it looks feature rich and they have their own virtual flight controller. Hopefully this is less prone to operation faults than Litchi due to DJI Firmware updates.

Hi Rob thanks for your posts. I am going to put my other mount on for the iPad 2 mini and just give Ground Station Pro a try to see if I can get automated gimbal control back. Litchi got back to me today and said it was going to be later than sooner for a fix for this.

It states it when you are about to do the update that you will not be able to revert to a previous version. Not sure how they do their inplace firmware upgrades. I do not want to open up a fresh can of worms by trying to revert, there are too many pieces to revert: batteries, camera, AC. I can...

Thank you Rob for posting the response. I have had no luck with both the Yaw Follow and Free mode. It just does not work. The Gimbal is basically no longer controlled by Litchi. I can manually control the gimbal in this state (waypoints), so hopefully my shoot tomorrow will not be so bad. I wish...

Rather than hear it from me, send an email to [email protected] and they will respond to you. They told me that because of the Inspire 2 latest firmware update, their software can no longer control the gimbal. The first response they sent me said it was a bug in the DJI firmware; their...

[email protected] replied to my email about the gimbal / camera no longer under the control of Litchi during Waypoint missions. They got back to me this morning and notified me that the gimbal / camera is no longer controllable with Lithchi as a Firmware bug has been introduced in this latest...

I cannot go back to the version prior to the bug (.01. revs). When upgrading the firmware to the new revisions the process states you will not be able to go back to the (.01.) previous level. I am away from the Inspire 2 at the moment but I think I am at a rev with the .02. in the revision...

As of 06-06-2018, Litchi 4.6.1-a and 4.6.0-a and I think all Litchi versions cannot control the gimbal / camera because of a bug introduced in the latest firmware of the Inspire 2. I contacted [email protected] and they have informed me that both the IOS and Android versions have lost control...
