First, I want to thank all of you for all of your great input! It makes me more hopeful about extending the life our Inspires. A few direct comments: @airblainer and @Donnie Frank the main software issue we have is with Map Pilot. Most of my drone use is fully automated flight-line stuff and I...

I am the proud owner of two Inspire V1 Pros. I mainly use them for geological, geomorphological, and vegetation mapping. i have a really nice NIR camera and I'm getting great imagery, with some hassles due to the use of old software. Therein lies my problem: Inspires like mine haven't been...

I hope this is a quick question: I have been advised to do a topo survey with my Inspire 1 (with a Zenmuse X3) setting it to shutter priority. I am using Map Pilot Pro. Is it possible to set shutter priority on this camera from within Map Pilot or do I need to do this using DJI Go or similar...

Wow, D, thank you so much for the detailed response. You are right that I don't fly enough to know all of these details. I'm an academic geologist that uses drone mapping mainly for DEM extraction, with some CIR work with another camera. So it's really great to get some help from you and this...

I don't have the MicroSD card in front of me, but I can get that info. It sounds like, from my peek at the web, that the card can make a big difference. What do you recommend? I was flying at 30-40 m with 80% overlap. Shutter speed was set to auto. I didn't use MapPilot because it was giving us...

I'm guessing this might be addressed in another post, but I can't find it. If someone can direct me, that would be awesome. We have had a lot of trouble with our Inspire 1 not capturing photos on automated flight line plans. I switched to Copterix from Map Pilot because it seemed to support the...

We have been using Map Pilot on our Inspire 1 but with new OS upgrades and time, it seems to be giving us more and more trouble flying flightlines. Sometimes they just quit in mid-flight. Sometimes we just can't connect to the drone to upload a flight plan. It just seems kind of buggy. Do any of...
