But aren't helicopters supposed to be equipped with ADS-B too in the medium to short term?

this might be of interest to you M200 compass error ...

Well, for the record, the Inspire is supposed to have self-heating batteries and is rated for temperatures as cold as -20°C. It might be icing but it might as well be yet another case of DJI products' unreliability where the operator and external conditions have very little to do with the...

Not very reassuring that for $6000 you get something that is faulty out of the box... Just like with the Phantoms.

would you be able to post the original (or a full-res crop)? I'd like to do exactly that!

I don't know about the davidsleslie but I don't see the S900/S1000 as something practical when hiking whereas there are dedicated backpacks for the Inspire 2. Plus the batteries are above the threshold set by airlines...

If you want to shoot stills, consider using no gimbal. See this post Inspire 2 with 42mp One thing I haven't figured out though is how/when to change the dampers but my question remains unanswered on both forums...

Both the Inspire 2 and the Matrice 200 come with such replacement parts but... I see absolutely nothing in the user manual about that. Nor did I find any video on youtube. When/how are you supposed to replace them? Thanks for your help!

good news, thank you!

I don't own any (yet) but from my perspective the problem is not that they launch a new, better camera. It is that they seem to abandon the previous products as soon as a new one is released. For example they promised an osmo handle for the X5S and it seems like it will never exist. You still...

do you believe it will be compatible with matrice 200 at some point? once again DJI sows confusion by saying it will be compatible with other DJI products without specifying which...

"Not much gain if you are looking for a still aerial camera either" ---> well if you look at samples of recent APS-C cameras I think they are way better than the X5S despite the relatively comparable pixel count (20 vs 24 megapixels). I agree that the main target is video users though.

@ClaudioNC for some reason I had not seen this, thanks a lot, I am downloading it! @PatrickP ok, I have been there 10 years ago but we drove directly to Taos and I have not seen much of Albuquerque itself; in any case I loved New Mexico and the Southwest in general.

I am based in Europe... but I would definitely buy from a reputable dealer as I don't want to have to deal with DJI's customer service (or the lack thereof). Where were the pictures shot by the way? :)

That is what I mean, if you want something that is transportable and relatively light there isn't anything equivalent. O.k. there is Yuneec but I doubt that it's more reliable than DJI... And then there is the Falcon 8 but at € 25k - and I guess even more for the new intel falcon 8+ that's not...
