I am based Belconnen area and fly an Inspire 1 as well. Canberra Airport and Calvary Hospital Helipad generally take away my fun re flying local area. If I want to fly local I have to wait 20 working days for permissions which is quite a ridiculous wait... There's been a few times that...

Canberra based myself.

Are you able to do test runs in this spot beforehand? Hopefully because if you can you can at least get a relative understanding of what negative height your bird will be flying at to be safe while at water level. If you cannot get to try beforehand I would be carefully dropping my bird to a...

Well done on your first video put out there and asking for review. Quite a few people have made colour suggestions etc but the one thing which I found disconnected was the cutting over to new scenes that were not really related. One example was a scene where you were showing the volcano's...

Have to admit I am not too worried about the 30 minute video max issue as I never have got more than 20 minutes flying with a T48 battery. Cheers Birty

Ok, update. I had a spare full set of 1345S gear so decided to replace all four on the Inspire just to see whether the play will disappear which they certainly did so many thanks The Editor. It is comforting to know that the problem was not more complicated. But, lesson learned about making...

Thank you for your suggestion The Editor. I am not adverse to the idea of changing the whole prop system and going back to threads and prop locks and seeing how it goes. Worth trying and cost is minimal from the broad perspective. Cheers Birty

Hopefully this will give a better understanding. Photo taken from the web for demonstration purposes. There is no lateral movement in the shaft itself (thankfully) When holding the base of the motor to stop it from freely moving and when you wriggle the propeller (dark red line) to ensure it...

Hey there damoncooper, DJI Support also got back to me very quickly last night asking for video. Will get something online within 24 hrs and will add link for viewing. Cheers Birty

Hi all, I have also posted a similar topic within the DJI forums as well in order to see any different/similar identification on my observation. I hope people don't take offence... I am the owner of a second hand Inspire 1 V1 (circa March 2015) of which I have just under 10 hours worth of...

What is the weight for each light (with battery) after modifications? I am sure not as heavy as the X5 camera but still interested in knowing the weight for each light used. Amazon states around 90grams as is. Cheers!

I have future plans on getting the new remote so a second operator can use the camera in free mode while I am flying and at potential distances that my current remote cannot attain. Yes, camera control may be lost because of less remote power. Should both remotes be using the same software...
