I think it's DJI's way of telling you to buy a newer drone. Mapbox hasn't worked for years, and no updates to the app. A good reason not to buy DJI in the future, and use Litchi instead (which has a lot more features and actually works.)

I fly regular props all the time at about 5000'. At about 7-9k is where you begin to notice a difference. Above 10k, you almost need them or fly very carefully.

I realize this is an old post, but for anyone wanting more of an answer: The manual is correct. 104F if you're lucky. 102F if you're safe. At 104, fly to 50%, then switch out battery for a cool one. Cool them slightly if you can before flying. At 104 degrees F, I had sudden drops of the...

I was talking about s1000 in this case..

I didn't change either.

Which props are you using?

Update: I figured out that one of the power outlets from the s1000's power distribution is faulty. The voltage current sensor module attached to it was also blown. I was only able to figure it out after hooking the extra drone's power lead into Pixhawk into s1000's Pixhawk power input and it...

I'm thinking I'll go with A2 flight controller, so I can avoid using Can-bus (right?) and Lightbridge 2, so I can use my Inspire 1 controller (Seeing online it should work..?) and have a single operator craft I can control the gimbal and camera with. It's my understanding that with LB1, I can't...

Thanks for the replies. I'm beginning to figure this out thanks to all. So it seems like if using Lightbridge I am not going ot be able ot use this as a one operator craft, because I can't use DJI go with it, is that correct? But if I go with Lightbridge 2, I can get the whole system, control...

How do you run two packs on the s1000? Sounds like the best option until I can go for the M600. My flying is 98% over vacant lands, so falling out of the sky is not as critical as it would be in a city at least.

In case you're interested. Here are the important details of this project.

Ah thanks for this tidbit of info. in particular! I really like the way my Inspire controller is with the gimbal tilt and pan where my index finger can reach it easily. I never use a 2nd controller for a gimbal/camera operator, and in fact I sold the 2nd controller. I also like a whole lot...

Thanks. Can you explain what you mean by this? Sorry for my ignorance.

Actually I have a Pixhawk flight controller installed that came with it and I like the idea of open source, so was hoping to keep it, then use DJI Can-Bus hub. The other one I was considering was the Wookong-M, but again, going with DJI flight controller would mean rewiring everything. The...

Thanks for the reply and confirming reply.. How about if I were to get Lightbridge for the s1000? Then I'd be able to use one controller for either copter? Just do the thing in DJI go where I link them? .. I'm trying to decide what I'll do wit hthe s1000.
