    Hawaii - which island to go droning?

    Been to Maui twice. Lots of beatiful things to film there. Hana has several film worthy locations that are simply stunning as does Walilea, and Lahaina. Also keep in mind there are a bunch of National Parks in Hawaii which are no fly zones for drones. You will need to be very aware of that...

    X3 V Z3 Camera

    Now I really gotta know... what is the height? I'm thinking about getting the upgraded camera, but how configurable is it as far as zoom, and what does it look like fully zoomed out compared to X3? Are X3 and Z3 nearly the same when sitting at base level?

    X3 V Z3 Camera

    I would say at Minimum you are 400 feet up. Pretty stellar picture zoomed in. Considering getting the Z3 for the purpose of making it look like I'm flying closer in videos without actually doing so.

    Returning to the fold

    I have now seen two inspire 2 birds in person, and while I would love to get an inspire 2 I have an inspire 1 as well as a Mavic Pro. It is very hard for me to justify the upgrade at this point. I'm only just now getting back into my Inspire 1 with the purchase of new carbon fiber folding...

    iPad Pro 9.7 in. or iPad mini 4.....7.9in?

    Exactly, I totally hear you on that. I too was like ehh the device is built on android, but figured well it is locked down android, so it should be better than other android devices. I have heard many time before that the go apps on droid just don't work as well as ios version. I think DJI...

    Re-celling inspire batteries

    Anyone else found any guide, or battery that could be used? I have a TB47, and a TB48 that puffed on me and I would really like to re-cell them so that I can get more flight time again. Everything internally should be fine, would just need to solder an install the new battery pack at least...

    iPad Pro 9.7 in. or iPad mini 4.....7.9in?

    Oh man, I'm reading all the previous comments in this thread and thinking the whole time, Just get Crystal Sky because not being able to see in direct daylight is kind of a pain. After reading your comment about Crystal Sky has me rethinking that totally. What is the use of being able to see...

    Folding Props for Inspire 1

    I'll let you know how well they work once I get them in, installed, and a couple of flights done with them. It'll save me so much time not having to remove the props and then put them back on all while being able to fold them just like the Mavic. I mean I have left them stock props on before...

    Folding Props for Inspire 1

    I just bought a pair of these props. Since I got my Mavic I have totally neglected my Inspire simply because of how convenient the Mavic pro is. Although I have some events coming up where I would like to use both the Inspire, and the Mavic so I decided to try and make the Inspire function...

    Headplay settings

    I don't have any FPV equipment yet, but this looks interesting, but unnecessary with HDMI out on the inspire 1 controllers. I finally got notification that my avent glyph shipped (only a couple years late) and it should be here by next week. I can't wait to try it out as a lightweight fpv device.

    Hello from New Orleans :-)

    Might I ask how did you fly around the Superdome? Most sports arenas have pretty strict rules and security about flying drones around them. Having said that I saw a phantom 2 in the air for the Saints season opener last year which was very much against the law, but I never saw any video from...

    My inspire currently sits in 30' of water off star island in Miami.

    After the Apple event, I would love to replace my iPad Air with the iPad Pro. Would look like awesome combined with the new Zenmuse X5, or X5R camera.

    DJI GO App Screen Rotate

    Are you mounting the phone portrait like? On the device holder for the remote you should see two "wings" that pop out and allow you to mount it in landscape mode so you won't have to look at it sideways anymore.

    First video with my Inspire 1

    Did you do edit the with a filter to make the water look that perfect, or does it naturally look like that? I had never heard of Jupiter Florida until I saw this video, and it really makes me want to visit. Great looking video depicting the beautiful waterways either way.

    Anybody else using Go Pro Studio for their video editing ?

    Am I missing something? I attempted to use the GoPro Studio editor, but it barked at me saying it was only capable of using videos taken by a gopro. Is there a way around this I'm not aware of?
