    Inspire 1 Pro pieces

    I have an Inspire 1 Pro V1, controller, X5 camera with standard lens, OSMO with 2 batteries & accessories. No batteries for the I1P. The Inspire had a minor accident which causes the lens default position to be yawed at about 30 deg. Otherwise I think its all working fine. In original case, will...

    Christmas light with an I1?

    I’ve often thought about this an other tasks. regardless of the possibility of getting tangled up, I’d be concerned that there could be quite a weight which means the inspire will be working hard and getting hot. How about letting the inspire position a light cord in a spiral around the tree...

    Pulling my hair out with a hand me down Inspire 1 (Controllers)

    I had the cable problem, I bought a cheap knockoff at Canadian tire and it frequently would not connect, this is a known problem with knockoff cables. When I got a genuine Apple cable, I had no problems.

    Inspire 2 Worth

    Anecdote FWIW, I sold my Inspire 1Pro a couple of years ago mainly because it was very hard to find replacement batteries. With some regrets now. I bought a M2P which does take nice photographs which are good enough for my work as a journalist but it does not compare to the I1P. With the choice...

    Green “Auto Focus target square” in DJI Go changes size and shape. Is that telling me something?

    I have seen the same but have assumed that this represents a group of pixels that are in focus. It may pick up a roughly elliptical or circular grouping but presents it as a rectangle or a square. Just a guess.

    Looking for a dead x5

    Sorry Kevin, I‘m keeping it as a complete kit, all the accessories were purchased for specific reasons, projects etc. that make it a full pro kit for anyone involved in filming. Quite a few things not listed including lead balance weights, lens hoods, winter battery cover, etc

    Looking for a dead x5

    I'm quite tide-down presently because my wife is sick. I'm selling my Inspire kit, regrettably and reverting to using just my M2P. I can't afford the time commitment for big jobs presently. It would have been interesting to get together since you sound interested in the photography side of...

    Looking for a dead x5

    Interesting, off topic, but I believe the X5 does not have any ir, uv or moire filter. So isn’t it already a very broad spectrum sensor? I use a screw on IR/UV filter because I was told it would prevent some of the high contrast edge fringing (chromatic aberration) but not sure I saw any...

    Looking for a dead x5

    If yr the original owner, then I’d send it to DJI for repair. I have returned two X5’s with serious damage and very pleased with the service. Both cases were under $200, they provided a quote and there was no charge for shipping, either direction.

    attempted Inspire 1 shoot down over neighbor's yard... need help synching flight data for police

    I agree that it’s never ok to shoot at a drone and I hope the shooter is prosecuted. Respect for others is important, walk in the other persons shoes. Pilots flying rotary wing and fixed wing aircraft fly above 500’ & 1000’ respectively except for takeoff & landing or training exercises, and...
