Dude, READ the disclaimer. I TOLD you that this was a fun experiment. No, it's not very tech forward...but it was a lot of fun to try. There really is no substitute for good equipment. I hold a Thermography Level II cert. I would not use this for any type of client services. It was just a...

Mavic Pro, as long as you aren't going to want to do professional work with your new drone "sometime later". While it IS a really fun drone for the $$$ (what you said you wanted) it isn't on the level of the Inspire when it comes to photo/vid, etc (IMHO). I have both. I fly the Mavic Pro for...

I use the Angel. I RELLY like it as a simplistic way to ensure proper storage levels, and for deep discharge calibration. For the $$$ you can’t beat it! Alex does a great job and is dedicated to giving great support to loyal customers. My vote for the $? Angel. Keep calm, and Drone on!

$5800 (640x512/30Hz) Vue Pro R. Not actually a bad deal with integration.

Your reply makes a case for the easiest safety procedure of all...common sense. I can almost guarantee that (excepting very unusual circumstances) sensible, safety-aware UAV pilots will probably have a safe and fun "career" as a UAV pilot. What will ruin it for the rest of us is the...

That is awesome! Glad it works for you. They seemed to be legit. I talked to them about a new setup for my I1 (with Radiometry), but right now I have to finish another resto project in order to afford it, lol. Hopefully later in the year.

Man, I understand. Roof inspections would need some image definition, thermographic spread, etc. There is a company here in Texas that will adapt a FLIR Vue, Vue Pro or Vue Pro R to your Inspire unit. I don't now what their cost is, but I would think it would be reasonable compared to the XT...

So I've been asked by a number of friends about how to set up a "cheap" FLIR system on an Inspire 1. THIS IS JUST FOR FUN...but it works... BEFORE I CONTINUE...A DISCLAIMER... PLEASE understand that you pay for what you get when it comes to FLIR. There is no substitute for a great FLIR cam...

Hey y'all, Just 2 cents...(I doubt if it's actually worth that, lol). IMHO, the Mod was looking at the tone of the posts. I have seen other people post issues with DJI here, and receive a lot of good input. However, their tone was mostly pro and not as much of just an angry post. I REALLY...

Okay, I probably didn't input the right word sequence in to the search bar, but I can't find a thread that discusses the possibility of rebuilding/refurbishing dead Inspire 1 batteries. I know there is more to it than replacing dead cells, etc. Can they be rebuilt/refurbed? Is anyone...

Lol! So True! YouTube is a free-for-all when it comes to comments. Mostly by inexperienced trolls, lol. I always post-edit mine anyway. I go for a certain "look". Photoshop/Lightroom works well for stills. Premier/AE/Final Cut Pro are great for video post!

Man, I wish I could tell you that you can...and someone may, but it won't be me. Here's why. It is virtually impossible for any camera to anticipate constant changes present in any video shooting environment, AND...edit them into pro-looking footage on the fly. The only way to get "pro"...

Welcome, from a former "near-Austonian", lol. I lived about 40 miles out of the city proper. Now I live in the N.Dallas area. There are a lot of great resources here. The search bar is a great "reference tool" lol. I wanted the Inspire 2, but needed access to a FLIR camera setup (not...

I, too am fighting a really bad glitchy transmission signal suddenly. I am going to try manual early next week, but I really have to find a solve to this. Mine is suddenly so bad it is hard to get those excellent shots I was getting. If DJI wants to be the goto company for pros, they really...

While I haven't been in the mix with LE here in Texas for awhile, I can say that usually the FAA will grant a special LE waiver for "helos and other law enforcement aircraft", etc. when working with LE personnel. I don't, however, think that would apply to me as a civilian. One of the things...
