    Updates after being mothballed for 2 years

    Hi Donnie, I am the original owner of the drone and it has never had these limitations. It appears from the press release: DJI Updates Process For Activating Software And Firmware Updates That this procedure was introduced in May of last year whilst my Inspire was in mothballs and relates to...

    Updates after being mothballed for 2 years

    Hi Donnie, Thanks again for the great reply. In that case how do I update my App to 3.1.1 (from 3.0.0.) which as you point out will have the most features, given that the one available on the App store is a later version? I have also checked my files and I do still have FW_V01.08.01.00 2 ...

    Updates after being mothballed for 2 years

    I'm also running iOS 10.3.3 on my iPad 2, should I update to IOS 11 or is that just introducing another variable?

    Updates after being mothballed for 2 years

    Hi Donnie, Thats great! Thanks for such a comprehensive answer. So I take it that the height and distance restrictions/problems have heard about relate to later software versions? You say you have had the best results with version1.8 and I am on 1.9 would you downgrade or are the 1.9 results...

    Updates after being mothballed for 2 years

    Hi , Thanks for that. I've heard that the latest updates limit height and distance is that not the case?

    Updates after being mothballed for 2 years

    Thanks for your replies guys. I am of course sceptical of the batteries and will obviously keep a very close eye on them. But as regards the updates, as far as I can recall I wasn't having any major problems 2 years ago, maybe the occasional transmission problem but I would like to update the...

    Updates after being mothballed for 2 years

    Hi Guys, I am running an Inspire Version 1 with an X3 camera although I had relatively little experience with this drone (some good, some bad!) before I was forced to mothball it whilst I was working away for about 2 years. I have now come to revive it and I was amazed that the batteries still...

    UK based Flight Training School/Academy

    Hi, I too would be interested. As a side issue I have a photographic hire studio based on a 5 acre non-working farm just outside Leeds which we often hire out to companies for product launch's and training days. We have lots of space and there are several hotels etc nearby so if you have future...

    Scary Landing!

    Hi Guys, As an update, Ive just done another flight with the Inspire (minus the camera) I used a whole battery just running through take off and landings, both automated and manual as well as return to home. Across about 20 landings, there was one where the gear didn't open. The Inspire was on...

    Scary Landing!

    Its on the latest firmware, 1.9 I think but definitely the latest, but 1.6 on the controller because of the slave remote issue. If the landing gear opens up at one foot off the ground, isn't there a danger it will hit before its deployed?

    Scary Landing!

    Hi Guys, I have just flown my brand new Inspire 1 after a long absence due to a crash. It is a brand new air frame and out of my first three flights, using the same battery, it failed to lower the landing gear, in return to home mode which the app had initiated, on the last one. It was really...

    Beware remote firmware update.

    Hi Guys, I too have experienced this problem. The aircraft was updated to 1.9.1.30 and both controllers to 1.7.40 but I got the sticks issue on the remote controller described in this thread. I downgraded both controllers to version 1.6 and everything is fine, full stick control.I haven't flown...

    Recovering lost flight data

    Thanks for your help guys, I have a better understanding of it all now. What a shame DJI don't tell you these sort of things when you buy the Inspire and you have to loose your flight logs before you find out!
