    The DJI "Coming Soon (tm)" List for Inspire Owners

    And in the mean time: Why don't you all go out and fly with the damned thing! New features and accessories will show up as soon as they are ready. Nice to have something to look forward to while enjoying what we've already have got!!!

    Finally! My Smart Powercharge Is Here!!!

    Here in Norway a Honda generator (cheapest model) costs more that three Powercharge units! I can accept the convenience of charging batteries in the field, but I would have to do some paid flying to justify that! And then there's that price of gas which would horrify you if you live in the US (8...

    Finally! My Smart Powercharge Is Here!!!

    I didn't really take the time to see how long it the acual charging time is but it's definitely five times faster. In my case I want to charge four batteries and the remote. Now, instead of of hooking up one battery, waiting for it to be fully charged, then hook up the next etc. and finally...

    Finally! My Smart Powercharge Is Here!!!

    And now for an update on my Smart Powercharge! I took my Inspire out for some flying today in order to have some depleted batteries to charge with my new Powercharge. As soon as I got home I put the charger to work: Inserted four batteries (3 TB47 and 1 TB48), the remote and my iPad Mini 3...

    Finally! My Smart Powercharge Is Here!!!

    So it has finally arrived, shipped directly from the factory in China! Initial impressions is that it's a quality product all over! Sturdy metal cabinet with clear displays, solid buttons and overall battery trays and USB and DC outlets of high quality. I live in Norway and am happy to see that...

    Is the Inspire 1s sold in the US of a lesser quality than those sold elsewhere?

    I'm starting to wonder... Based on all the posts depicting flyaways, crashes , bricking and other horrors, it may seem so. Still, I can't believe that the quality control at DJIs factory is so bad that their products turn out to be so unreliable and predictable! I myself must admit that I've...

    Renaat ND Filter comparison and test.

    Here's a video where I am using Renaat's ND16 filter with settings following the formula: shutterspeed= framerate * 2. I then adjusted the ISO to make the exposure just about right. It actually came to ISO200!

    Conversation with DJI

    Actually, Henry Ford was once asked how long he expected his cars to last. His answer was: "Forever, as you replace the parts as they wear out."

    Which sunshade is best for iPad air2 and mini3?

    If you hold the remote at the excact same angle and distance as the productphoto I agree you would get the reflections. But in fact I am holding the remote straight in front of me and although the hood is not perfect, it's doing a fairly good job. If yoy want to remove the mirror effect you...

    The nothing happened thread

    Beware that a thread of this will turn into a thread of doom faster than you can say "Inspire"! I started a similar thread not so long ago and was rather overwhelmed by all the posts ststing that they were just waiting for something to happen with my Inspire. Check out this link...

    Which sunshade is best for iPad air2 and mini3?

    I bought one each of these from Fusion Imaging via Shapeways. Very nice 3D printed stuff. The first is in one piece while the other is collapsible. The nice thing about them is that they simply slip on with no need to use velcro, magnets and other stuff. The plastic also has a matte texture to...

    FINALLY APPROVED ND-FILTERS !

    So I had my two first flights today with Renaats ND Filters. Well, actually filter. I put on the ND16 due to the sunny weather and I must say I am very pleased with the result. The ND16 enabled me to get a correct manual exposure with a shutterspeed of 1/100 and ISO200. Video quality was set to...

    The Mother of All Chargers?

    Since you obviously have one of these units, please tell me something. Is the cable for charging the remote included? The manual talks about a "remote controller charging cable" which definitely is not included with the Inspire 1. And as far as I know, the cable on the stock power unit is not...
