Makes perfect sense to me. Are there situations where you would recommend a recalibration? New firmware - yes. Travel to a vastly new location by plane - yes. Are there others?

Hey Editor, I can't find your prior posts, but I want to hear your opinion. It makes no sense to me to recalibrate in the field near ground structures that do not exist in the air after I have meticulously calibrated in a controlled environment (wide open field). But, I do it because DJI says...

John, you might be experiencing the same effect I see. I have researched this a bit and the problem seems to be a difference between magnetic and true north (magnetic declination). It seems that the Inspire, and all of DJI' s products learn their declination as you fly. In my case, every time I...

Steve, the compass is located in the nose of the aircraft. It is easy to get to, but not easily adjusted. From what I have learned, and experiments confirm this, the Inspire "learns" it's magnetic declination as you fly. For me, as soon as I launch the aircraft it goes into a clockwise TBE...

Did you loosen the small arm collar or was it already loose? It sounds like you said earlier that you had to remove the warranty sticker on the collar bolt in order to tighten it.

Pete, in you case, is it greens that are gone? My blues and reds look great. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I live in a very green place. BTW, I don't have control over the PAL/NTSC setting on my preferred device, a Cinemizer.

By the way, if anyone wants to test this, you don't need to do it in the field. Just attach your controller to a monitor or TV via the HDMI port, power up your quad, and the use the playback function to watch a video you recorded earlier. The video will stream from your quad, just as if you were...

Yep, I have tried two different HDMI cables (one with an adapter, one dedicated HDMI mini), two different controllers (one in slave mode), and three different monitors. I get exactly the same result with all configurations. The only thing I do not have two of is the quad, but video from the quad...

A better description of what I see is that the green channel is virtually gone. Grass becomes a very dark blue. Because my video is outside and green is the predominant color, the image looks high-contrast and under-saturated. I shot a beach umbrella with a rainbow of color panels, and all green...

I have had issues with the quality of the video output from the controller's HDMI port. For me, the video is significantly worse than what I see on the attached iPad. The video is much higher contrast and very low color saturation. I performed a demo for my company, and had intended to show...

Won't work. The sticker are tamper-evident. If you remove them, you must be willing to fess-up to the fact. I removed all of mine, just because they piss me off!

Here is my advice about fixing the vibration problem yourself: First, read these posts: http://www.inspirepilots.com/threads/major-vibration.392/page-2#post-6409 http://www.inspirepilots.com/threads/major-vibration.392/page-5#post-10524...

I don't have a video, but I posted instruction of what I did on page 2 of this thread. However, like DJI says, don't do this, you will mess it up ;) If you do this, keep in mind that the goal is not to eliminate all play in the joint, the goal is to increase the resonate frequency of the arms...

Thanks Ed, I understand. In my case I made the repair out of desperation. The day after I got my I1 I reported the problem to DJI, but they had no solution for me. So, I contacted my reseller to arrange a return. My reseller found a post on a forum site about tightening the big bolt and, if I...

Thanks Ed, perhaps even you can answer a question I have been asking Dji for the past two months...the first two pages of this thread show a slow-mo video of my inspire and detailed instructions for the repair I performed. I have been asking Dji if I missed anything. This repair required a hex...
