If you can locate a used X4s camera (they are not made any more), that would be a very good option. That camera has a mechanical shutter and works very well for mapping.

I was using an I 2 which was generating the same error messages. We tried everything with the exception of sending it back to DJI (which we should have done.). It was not in the camera, it was a problem in the bird. It would sit turned on waiting to fly with that error message, then suddenly...

As bad as this one?

Can you use DroneDeploy with that and then just go watch the football game?

I would suggest you may want to set shutter speed higher and let the ISO float.

I used an I1 for mapping successfully for several years using an X3. Now using an I2 with an X4s. It is a very good setup. Good luck.

I was using an I-2 when a group of batteries began failing. I would take off near 100% in both batteries, and then after a couple of minutes, one battery would show 0%. Fortunately, the second battery brought it home each time. I did not test the batteries or track them with Airdata as this...

Very nice film and storyline. Thank you for sharing. Excellent shots.

Can you clarify your question, please? Not sure what you are asking.

You may have better luck with a helpful response if you post this on the Mavic forum.

I am flying an I 2 in various locations within about a 200 mile radius sometimes (usually) if we travel more than 50 miles, we will need to recalibrate. Flying within a 20 mile radius, it will require it once in a while, but not every flight. This is an I2 that is about three years old. Not...

Sounds like a great project. An Inspire 1 with an X5 should do all that nicely. If budget allows, a hand held camera with GPS may be an easier alternative for the headstones? Good luck and post us a link to your completed project.

Agree with Starz. Having put many hours on both birds, get the Inspire 2. You won’t regret it.

In your request, focus on safety and alternates if something goes wrong. For example, you have return to home set, altitude limitations set in DJI Go 4 not to exceed approved height, the “kill” stick position is available to ground the aircraft in all situations, you will have multiple VOs to...

I can not answer the airspace question, but having written auths (old days), and getting DJI unlocks together can be problematic. Given the size/importance of this event, if the FAA gives you the green light in the TFR, I would have an alternate brand of drone or secondary flight software...
