Thanks a lot for this almost forensic investigation! As DJI does not test their stuff, somebody else must do it. Great job. Curious how this story ends!

Final update I brought the crashed drone to Droneland in Almere for they are the dutch distributor and the best dealer I know. After a lot of hassle where DJI first did receive the Inspire but not the crash report, then could not log into the flight logs, then said the drone did not crash...

I would not buy the X5R. The hardware is too expensive for what you get and DJI prevents you to invest into new technology for this platform. Wait until the I2 gets cheaper, will take not more than 6-8 months. The I2 platform has the future and is here to stay at least for a year or two. Other...

Thanks. I bring all my business there from the start. Wonderfull guys! They will receive the Inspire tomorrow. Your suggestion is plausable. The only things that debunk it in my opinion are that the arrow in the log keeps pointing to the direction the bird went while going down. Height was...

I can fly in atti. But the bird was not responding. Not on the 'up' command, not on any command from the controller. Otherwise I could at least have done something. The GO app did not record the flight from the moment on the Inspire switched to atti by itself until the end of the flight as it...

Well, I think I did apply common sense. But if the GO app wants me to calibrate, I do it. Now I might not, but yesterday I did.Too scared DJI uses it on me when something goes wrong "we instructed you to calibrate and you did not". I flew perfectly ok on 4 batteries until during the 5th flight...

Thanks. I red about the compass calibration. But I am in an impasse here: as DJI makes me calibrate with a pop-up at starting the GO app, and I do not do it and unfortunately the bird crashes (like happened to me), don't I give them a stick to hit me with? Don't I have to operate my aircraft...

I calibrated the compass before take off. You say 'hopefully not'. Why not? I had 19 sats in an open field. Never had problems there before. On Facebook a poster suggested it was the 601 version of the Inspire Pro with a too strong transmitter? His bird was replaced by a 600 Inspire Pro. What...

Same happened to me. See my recent post. Learned that more than some other pilots experienced the same, DJI replaces the birds in most cases. What firmware? What version GO app?

Scary moments yesterday afternoon: after flying in P-GPS mode with 19 satellites present, I suddenly saw a message: "Compass error, exiting P-GPS mode" after which it switched to ATTI mode by itself; the controller still being in P-mode. What followed is funnily enough not recorded bij the DJI...

As bad as your experiences are (I cannot disagree) I found that there are services that do work fast and correct. Take the DJI support channel on facebook. As I waited for sometimes hours on the telephone line and chat channel, the DJI Facebook support provided correct answers almiost...

DJI shipping things without providing proper firmware first. Typical. I think you tried this: How to Calibrate: within the rst four seconds after powering on, rotate the Focus wheel back and forth across its full travel range four times. Only calibrate the Focus Handwheel when you feel lens...

Sorry, but I have no clue what you mean. All is fine here with 1.74 + slave.

Vielen dank!

Are you absolutely sure? For non-commercial as well as for commercial use? From what date on do these rules get into effect? Are any certificates needed? I am to fly in the Stuttgart region within a couple of weeks.
