have both types - one for the Inspire and one for the Phantom 3. They both work great, although there is no real time savings - it's still just charging one battery at a time. Just being able to leave them unattended is a great convenience though. You may do better on time by getting a second...

Of course followed by all the tales of woe about their birds crashing into all kind of obstacles as everyone will immediately be trying these new features in mostly inappropriate locations.

I had a big hawk stalking my Inspire a few months back. I was afraid he was going to dive-bomb me thinking my quad was a strange, tasty bird.

I had a bunch of boxes waiting on me when I returned home this week. New P3P, Go Professional case, 4 batteries, hdmi board, ipad mini2 and extra props. What a haul! I was pretty sure I'd need to upgrade the firmware, so I was ready with it on my sd card. To my surprise and consternation...

From my searches on the DJI forum, the app gets it's GPS info from the drone. People are reporting running wifi only tablets with wifi shut off. Also, won't follow me and dynamic home point be getting GPS information from the remote control?

It's well established in the courts that you have no expectation of privacy outside the walls of your home. The only privacy you are invading with a quad is if you are peering in someone's windows. You'd be amazed at all the places where you go that you are photoed or videoed at close enough...

The ipad mini is getting the GPS information from the P3, right? I don't see you need the GPS chip in the ipad mini.

I carried two such flashlights on my Inspire and you could certainly feel the weight. Took only a couple minutes off my flight time, but that is a much bigger bird. Whatever you do, keep it to your center of gravity. That should make it a bit less work for your motors and should use less...

I love my Inspire 1. It's been problem free. They've sent me first the blade locks free of charge, then the quick release props free of charge, plus all the software/firmware updates. I've bought a ton of accessories and a large travel case. I couldn't be happier with it. But it's a big...

Ordered yesterday from DJI, shipped last night.

Thanks for the kind response. I thought that was the case.

I have an Inspire, but I also have a P3 on order. I was thinking about going to this spot that I know that is on a ridgeline. Where I'd stand (as well as park) is around 5200' elevation. Thought it would be cool to fly along the ridgeline and dip into the valley. Is this possible, or...

Yes it does. You do need to go into the software and tell your drone you have the "upgraded" controller. Then the gimbal control will work.

I think the AMA played "uncle tom" with the FAA in the early stages, thinking that if there were going to be pilot requirements, that they would be in the cat-bird seat to have all drone pilots to have to be members of, and under the umbrella of the AMA. When that colossally backfired on them...

While I'm waiting on my Inspire 1 to ship some day, I thought I'd make some improvements to my Phantom 2 Vision to keep me occupied while I wait. My Phantom is about 1 year old. It worked OK, but definately had limited range. First I tried the antenna changes you see in the youtube videos on...
