    Any tips for cold weather?

    A production company I work with might be sending me to Alaska in a few weeks and as someone who lives in Tennessee, I'm not used to the cold weather up there. I don't have any details about where I'm going (just Alaska and a date range to hold) but I just wanted to be prepared in general. I've...

    do i need to upgrade?

    What is this paid work you speak of? We're all hobbyists in the US at least.

    do i need to upgrade?

    Here's a log mode flight from yesterday. Forgive the sloppy footage at the beginning. Tried to have a friend move the camera via the iPad app and as you can see it didn't go well. The file is about about 4gb...

    Naming your inspire

    Who out there has named their inspire? After the first couple of typical questions I get when flying or assembling/tearing down mine the question I hear the most is have you named it. I haven't yet but I want to hear what everyone is naming your inspires if you even are naming it. Edit: I...

    do i need to upgrade?

    I'm planning to play around with log mode on my next flight so I'll upload some footage when I have it. Ultimately you're the only person who can decide if its worth it to upgrade. That being said there are a few reasons I went with an Inspire over a Phantom/GoPro. Being able to switch between...

    Prop locks - when are they being shipped?

    I pre-ordered my Inspire from UAV Direct because they were one of the only people that were guaranteeing to have you be in the first shipment at the end of November. I preordered a battery from them in late December but ended up canceling because DroneFly had them in stock before UAVDirect ever...

    iPad air 2?

    No. There are several ways to install it none of which require jailbreaking.

    Quick Deploy Case

    What's the difference in leaving the Pick/Pluck foam as is and adding the plasti-dip? I'd be interested in doing this eventually but don't feel like I could do anything beyond removing the foam.

    Close to pulling the trigger. Whose your favorite vendor?

    CopterShop is one of the only dealers I've seen that has them in stock. I ordered from UAVDirect who doesn't seem to be getting many shipments of anything. I ordered a battery from them and ended up canceling because DroneFly had batteries in stock so there was no reason to wait for something...

    Insurance

    I know this has come up a few times but no one has really distinctly answered the question of insurance yet. SquareTrade doesn't cover the Inspire. I don't have home insurance since I do rentals so I can't add it through there. I don't have an LLC or any form of a company so I don't think (could...

    My Inspire IS a POS

    Does it blend?!?

    Strange Problem With Camera. Sun Related?

    Yeah I would say most likely its sunlight creating a shadow. I noticed the same thing whenever I flew a phantom and the sun hit it like that. Also I'm jealous of such a wide open area to practice with. That looks awesome.

    My Inspire IS a POS

    I personally think the inspire would look fantastic in a Mauve finish. Side note, I have no clue what Mauve looks like. I just know its a color.
