    Olympus 12mm worth getting?

    Are you kidding me? This is THE most used lens of all for anyone that gives a **** about the output! If you plunked down the entry fee for an I2, you **** well better have the wherewithal to by this lens

    EXIF Altitude Data is incorrect

    For NADR, I use the X3 w/ a simple UV filter. It looks really stupid with such a small camera on such a large bird, but it is a proven setup for capture. I am in the process of fitting the M600P with a FLIR Duo R as the FPV camera so I don't loose forward vision and get bonus thermal for night...

    EXIF Altitude Data is incorrect

    DJI has known issues passing altitude data because they use barometers for altitude. It would be interesting to use an X3 camera since it is recognized by many mapping capture programs because it eliminates the lens variable. Trying this approach first may change your delta and narrow down the...

    EXIF Altitude Data is incorrect

    How is your 200' delta derived? Are you expecting altitude ASL or AGL? Which AC are you using? Are you using GCPs?

    Auto Gimbal Release

    Now, if only DJI would write release notes and manuals for their "stuff" so it's obvious what the various settings are intended for. We are fortunate to have really good "beta" users/testers who share their experience with the community! Well done and thank you.

    Will Inspire 1s become obsolete in 2018?

    My I1 is NOT obsolete, nor is my P3P. They are both very capable ACs and do what I need to get what I deliver. Both are registered w/ N#s and I really don't see the need to chase whimsical product releases. Yes the I2 impresses me, but I went down a different path because I have an I1 and bought...

    Drone Headset: VR or FPV?

    I would love to see an updated Google glass that allows for keeping an eye on the bird in the air and an occasional "peek" at the fpv as confirmation.

    Do DJI antennae receive Gallileo signals?

    It may seem like a silly question until you get the cost of accuracy. Being PFA later design and construction, the European Gallileo System provides exceptional accuracy. It would be a critical consideration for RTK investment.

    Registration Transfer

    I have two N number registrations. It is my understanding that the online system doesn't issue N #s but a random registration that is not recognizable by Leo's as legitimate.

    Registration Transfer

    There is no "transfer" As others have explained, the "Hobby" registration is for the person. You will nedd to get the N registration form from your local FSDO office and gather all of the required documentation. This will include Bill of sale/Purchase Receipt, and an affidavit per listed...

    Other drone options?

    That information and link will certainly wake him up! Only men are allowed on that platform with a pocket depth of 4 0s minimum

    Inspire 2 zoom camera

    Why not use the Olympus M.Zuiko ED 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 EZ on the X5? I also use the Olympus M.Zuiko 45mm f1.8 as a fixed prime ofr really clear inspection photos from a safe distance.

    Camera mounting

    Your client needs a fixed wing flight.

    Panasonic Lumix 14-42mm/3.5-5.6 HD Lens Compatible with X5?

    "Looks interesting" until you have to balance it on a gimbal. If this is you first major drone purchase, you are going to have a steep learning curve. You may want to focus more on the primes listed and put the zoom lenses on the back burner for now.
