    What to get?

    The big benefit of i1 today is the ability to use the Z3 zoom camera for inspections. I'd use nothing but i1 for the purpose of inspection. The Z3 with 3X optical zoom should be your "go-to" camera, since the X5 feels a bit heavy for the i1, even though it works. Remember, inspections are...

    Inspire 2 just for hobby?

    Question for X4S owners...... my P4P is nice however the 1" sensor camera cannot record 4K@60FPS without glitches, about 15 to 20 per flight. To define glitch, the camera skips about 4 to 8 frames of recording, apparently due to the inability to record to the SD fast enough, using the best SDs...

    Wanted: Inspire 1 Remote Controller

    Have you seen this thread? It appears he has 3 GL658s for sale.

    School me: battery mod info

    Crash course. Think of it like plumbing. Voltage = pressure Amperage = volume Wattage = a measurement of both, pressure X volume (voltage X amperage = wattage)

    Inspire 2 will be released on November 8th

    Yeah, that useless WW2 saved the world from speaking German and Japanese, Hungary included. Those that gave their lives allow millions to have cheers and peace today. Some people don't appreciate the need to keep evil in check. There's no alternative to war sometimes. The world did revolve...

    Inspire 2 will be released on November 8th

    Correct, not any more. But we're still giving billions away to other countries when we're 19 trillion on debt. Go figure. Sorry, off subject.

    Inspire 2 will be released on November 8th

    I agree, they are oblivious to the timing of announcements in their largest market. They tend to keep their heads in the sand and focus on satisfying their emotional heart strings at home. :rolleyes: Big deal, so what if it's the beginning of Winter for China.

    Inspire 2 will be released on November 8th

    The FPV addition would help mostly with two operator operations, opening up more possibilities when it's impossible to see enough using VLOS for the pilot. Pilot FPV would be especially helpful for two operator SAR operations with the cameraman using a Z3. I think FPV would be a good addition...

    Inspire 2 will be released on November 8th

    DJI seems to have no sense of timing. Nov 8th is probably the worse date to get any press attention in the US, it's voting day. DJI would be wise to bump it to Nov 1st if they care anything about press exposure.

    DJI Go 2.5 Updated

    Seems like someone should download all the old versions and sell them for $5. It would be worth it to avoid all these steps.

    Inspire 1 V2 only $1999 in the DJI Store

    That's one way to look at it. Others might says, awesome, it's in my price range now and be happy. With age, all technology erodes in price in favor of new technology. The key thing to remember, OEM's can price things however they want, it's their choice. Past recent customers will be pissed...

    Inspire 1 V2 only $1999 in the DJI Store

    If the i2 is a repeat of the Phantom 3 to Phantom 4 upgrade, some may be disappointed. The things that matter didn't get much better (only 3min added flight time and virtually the same camera). If that happens you may not be as "Inspired" with the i2 as you are with the price for the i1...

    Anyone have 1.4 bin file?

    Well, turns out I only needed 1.3.0 for the Inspire RC after all, that's why DJI only offers 1.3 on the older firmware. I was just looking in the wrong area to update through the Go app to get the "update needed" link. I've successfully upgraded the RC firmware to the latest 1.6 version. Thanks!

    Anyone have 1.4 bin file?

    Thanks Mike! I owe you one. I couldn't find that anywhere in the DJI site.

    Anyone have 1.4 bin file?

    I have an old Inspire RC that I'd like to upgrade to the latest firmware, it's at 1.3 right now. I need the 1.4 bin file to get to the point where I can update through the Go app. DJI doesn't offer 1.4 anymore, only 1.3 for some reason. Does anyone out there still have the 1.4 bin file they...
