Don't be a goon. Xenophobia isn't stating the obvious.

concur with the above post. my inspire was inspiring until I was forced to update the firmware. now it's a $2k drone with the performance of a $200 drone. yea me. I can only believe dji detuned their inspires to frustrate owners into buying newer products. Chinese are very unscrupulous.

How is driving 56 in a 55 zone legal?

DJI isn't the only company that plays fast and loose with these little stickers to absolve themselves of any liability. In the states most of our products are made in China, but they are made for American companies who then turn around and sell them retail. It's a whole different ballgame when...

Once the controls were properly dampened, my drone panned wonderfully, and with the added bonus of knowing which way it's pointing, as a solo operator, that allows you to stay "in the aircraft" to keep, and get you out of trouble.

Breach of cinematic etiquette?

It had been my experience that all calls are routed to China. Only from there can you be forwarded to USA, or wherever. One time I asked where the call center was located and I was told. That must've been a new employee. The next time I was told it was none of my business. Quite a trivial matter...

It's one thing to buy Chinese products from American companies who not only feel a sense of obligation to customer service, but have to pay reps to closely monitor QC at the factory because the minute you turn your back they are cutting corners. This (DJI) experience has been quite an...

Proceed with caution. I had a job adjacent to an airport. I was very happy with my fw 1.08 and hadn't upgraded because of the restrictions dji was beginning to add, and as far as i was concerned I liked exactly how my drone flew. Flew the night before the job to make sure all was in working...

You did a great job capturing those beautiful vistas.

Sounds like you've got a custom configuration that has added a bit to the profile thus adding wind resistance. Uncharted territory. Let us know how it works out. Thanks.

Which firmware version is it currently running?

They can ban knives, cars, vans, trucks, gasoline, blunt instruments too, while they're at it and ISIS will still find a way to murder innocent people. It is easy enough to track down, prosecute, and incarcerate/ deport purveyors of the murderous ideology, and let the rest of society enjoy its...

If possible, I would recommend a test flight on location before thinking you need an NFZ modification. It may save a lot of grief.

There's an old expression in the States: "Build a better mousetrap, and the world will beat a path to your door." Henry Ford didn't invent the automobile, he made it better. There seems to be plenty of room for improvement with the Getterback. Keep up the good work, OP. Though I may just want to...
