And now EVERYBODY knows what a "head conversion" is.

Have you explored the flight curves of heavier batteries and diminishing returns? I have found that curve to be very steep with the Inspire 1 and pretty much all DJI offerings. The Inspire 1 was never designed as a heavy lifter and barely qualifies as a medium lifter. The Multistar 10A 10C battery weighs almost 1.8 lbs. That's almost double the weight of an X5 camera and .4 lbs. heavier than the stock battery. And if you've ever flown your Inspire 1 with an X5 vs an X3, you know that a mere 250g difference in weight makes a pretty profound difference in handling and flight performance.

The Inspire 1 Pro has a payload capacity of 1.4 lbs, which your new battery exceeds by .4 lbs. This doesn't count the weight of the cameras. It will be interesting to see how much more flight time you get. It will be even more interesting to see if the thing even gets off the ground with an X5 camera.

@Millsy, I would consider it a personal favor if you would post your results and try to reply in semi-complete sentences. Proof-reading is your friend.

Any bets on whether or not this things gets off the ground?

i certainty will i have x5 and x3 and it will get off ground these batteries are 920 g

I wish you the best. Can't wait to see the test flight videos.

@Millsy Your post was written May 14th. So "tomorrow" would be May 15th. It is now the 17th. How did the test flights go?

I have done this conversation, made it myself, you are correct in thinking that the aircraft is under load. It is working hard with the heavier battery which doesn’t give much of an extended flight time. To charge the battery including going to almost zero voltage takes an over night period. not happy with the battery and looking for a lighter one. The voltage shows on the Dji go app but the battery capacity is shown as the tb47. Would appreciate any comments and observations, any practical mods suggested would be helpful.Mike

Awesome. Can't wait to see it fly and get your review.

Good photos, wish you luck with them. i have realised since my last post that the battery I have used is unsuited to this device. the batteries that are available to us in the UK are limited in terms of power and size and C rating, my task is to find one that will work with my modified head. would be interested to know what flight times you get with them.
