Yes it is indeed balanced. I wasn't using a hood. I did have a filter on but it is very close in weight to the UV filter that comes with the X3 from DJI. I also need to mention that this configuration is exactly the same as what I've flown with hundreds of times before and dozens since the...

Sorry... I left that out... X3

A few weeks ago I was on a shoot with my I1 at a dirt race track. The director had requested a slow crane shot of the cars getting ready to take the green flag. He asked me to take a position about 15 feet above and behind the most rearward car looking forward toward the start line. The cars...

I took the test on Aug 30th... submitted the application online at IACRA two days later.

A new box appeared on the IACRA site today when I logged in. I now have a Certificate number listed in addition to the green button access to my temp cert. At least it's progress.

Hello! Where abouts do you fly? Are you a hobbyist or are you flying commercially?

Good luck!

I powered up mine and the gimbal control is still available even after the second controller is on and linked.

I own a set of guards from www.smartpowercharge.com I don't always fly with them but I do use them when I'm in situations where they might save me a blade strike on an obstacle when flying in close quarters. They seem to be sturdy and don't add too much weight to the aircraft.

Perhaps I do seem a bit touchy if you take my comments above out of the context with which I mean them. I'm not just speaking of my own posts and the reactions/comments to them and not just this one time. I've watched for a long time on this forum and there seem to be a lot of instances where...

Please forgive such a terrible oversight IrishSights!... I didn't see that it was posted in the Matrice sub-forum. Given that the whole site is called Inspirepilots.com AND he mentioned the X3/X5... it was indeed an assumption on my part but an incorrect one. I was simply trying to help and I...

The landing gear on the Inspire 1 should retract fully out of the camera's view if all is working correctly. It was designed specifically for that purpose. Some upward angles might restrict you at times but by and large your field of view should be clear once the gear retracts to the upward...

It can fly quite slowly. It depends on a few factors like how you have your remote set up with regard to Expos and how light your touch on the sticks is. Wind can spoil a nice slow, smooth run with a random gust though. If you use some of the automated flight features like POI or Waypoints...

But I'm not disagreeing with you... you make a valid point. I'm simply asking a question that has yet to be answered.

While I can see your point, I was simply asking a question that I imagine others will eventually have if they don't already. Having an answer key can, at times, reveal a wrong answer that you honestly thought you had right which would then help to highlight areas that might need additional...
