I'm going to disagree with you there, The error message stated to restart the aicraft and if the error persisted contact DJI. It would appear from your original post that it took several reboots before the error cleared, after the second reboot you should have decided that "The error persisted" and contacted DJI. repeatedly rebooting may have cleared the error but it left the actual fault behind.
I may be flogging a dead horse in your opinion but this stuff needs to be said, I've seen some incredibly idiotic things done to machinery by some supposedly intelligent people because thet "Thought" they knew what they were doing. If it takes more than two reboots to clear an error message then that error message is persistent, some people seem simply incapable of grasping this fact, like those people who insist on hitting TV's if they don't turn on or the person who flicks the light switch repeatedly as though that will make the bulb somehow magically work again...
No because there is always the possibility that it was a simple startup error, this is a complex piece of kit and occaisonal computational or startup sequence errors do happen, but after a couple of tries it should be apparent that it's a persistent fault...
You're probably right, but then there would have to be a way to clear that message, which would mean either (Horror of horrors) locking the unit until it's sent for repair or using some kind of reset protocol which would eventually make it's way onto the web and end up in general use. At least this way allows for the phantom errors or those like blocked props to be cleared. Perhaps they should use the same system that some other manufacturers do and have a two tier error system with less critical errors being reboot resettable and others only resetting after inputting a code.
No I don't, I thought i had it adequately explained in the first post ( and so most likely did Gerson Morelli), then you chimed in with your somewhat sarcastic two pennyworth and it ran on from there. Perhaps you should try to be less of a pompous troll and more of a helpful forum member...
Hey man I feel for you but we had a similar issue on Thursday at a jobsite. We were flying our inspire 1 pro and were at 30 ft and noticed the camera was out of focus. We tried to do a camera focus calibration and nothing was responding. Then out of nowhere the inspire shutdown and crashed onto the concrete. It's was an awful sound and feeling. The poor thing is totaled. We have talked to dji and our insurance agent. We are hoping it's covered under warranty but if not we will go through insurance. It is very frustrating but I feel like this one had some gremlins since day one. Video would cut out at 10 feet and all sorts of stupid issues. Makes me loose all confidence in the craft. I have a p4 p2 550 and I feel like the inspire is the most unreliable
Exactly. We just did a shoot a few weeks ago at the kart races for our local club. Imagine if that happened during that job, "drone crashes into kart racers". It's really bad for the industry and our business. One bad incident could be game over for you and your business. Also all the more reason to follow the rules and have insurance. We dont need anymore bad press. The inspire one is a great platform and has been around long enough that these problems shouldn't be coming up this late in its production and FW updates. Fingers crossed that dji takes care of the poor pilots of these broken birds
