To the OP.... I believe your original statement is incorrect... "So of course most people only have bad things to say about their Inspire 1. I Know DJI is sucking right now. but I am actually happy with my Inspire 1, Sure its not perfect. But its way cooler than a phantom."
What you see and hear is a small, but vocal minority, who cross post and repost and get re quoted by others with issues and problems that they feel frustrated by. Many of the reposters don't even own Inspires.... There are a ton of owners who aren't on this and other boards. There are lots of people posting phenomenal videos and stills and most people with no issues don't bother posting anything at all... There are owners that are relatively inexperienced pilots and do not understand the potential issues that arise with flying something this complex. Part of the issue is the marketing and press coverage that over build expectations. This is a relatively new complex mix of technologies. IMO DJI has done a stellar job of responding to issues and getting fixes out in a timely manner. Not saying some of the issues are not frustrating to some of the owners... But they are in the minority. For example, if I had bought the Inspire to fly off a boat and was leaving on a trip where I planned to use it, only to find that you couldn't start it up on a boat, I'd likely be pissed off too. While justified, those types of situations only apply to a minority of Inspire owners...
