    X5s Nodal point

    Believe me, lens nodal point is a negligible issue when panoramic sequence is taken with Inspire 2. However, the hovering stability is of paramount importance to eliminate parallax as much as possible. Not every specimen of Inspire 2 is behaving nice in this department. Anyway, for panoramic...

    I got the dreaded “No Image Transmission Signal” error

    They do swaps quite routinely, sometime with a refurb, sometime even with a brand new item. They don't bother to consult or discuss, they just do. It happen twice with my repairs, I didn't complain since I've got the problem solved quickly and reliably...

    I got the dreaded “No Image Transmission Signal” error

    Most likely they'll send back a different, refurbished unit, which may - or may not - require firmware matching. BTDT twice with X5 gimbal. Didn't noticed any further "neutering" (LOL) effect of FW re-fresh, this happened several FW versions before anyway ...

    I got the dreaded “No Image Transmission Signal” error

    Anthony, don't get me wrong but the warning says all: the gimbal is disconnected. Next suspects to interrogate are the cables connecting gimbal socket with Inspire's guts. But these seems to be OK, cooperating with X3 camera just fine. Messing with FW will not do you any good. If you can't...

    Matrice M210 upper shell removal

    Without disassembly it is impossible to determine the extent of damage to a leg holder bracket. You'll see what can be done once you lift the upper shell. If the bracket and leg clamp are structurally sound, I will suggest to tap the stripped M3 hole to a next size (M4).

    Lens calibration and physically lock in infinity focus with MF switch on lens?

    Lens calibration procedure is necessary only if you're employing manual focusing with the finger on screen. The system must know when a given lens is in focus if you hit infinity mark at the top of scroll bar. The calibration data should be recorded and valid, but in reality they're often lost...

    Matrice M210 upper shell removal

    Shell is sealed at seam with silicone. Once you pull the halves apart you'll lose waterproofing. That's not a big deal since it's not really well implemented feature of 200 series. However, the gunk is messy and difficult to remove before assembly. Secondly, the top shell contains several pieces...

    X5 Mod to fit I2 or M210

    Of course with enough of knowledge, skills, time and persistence it may work, but why bother? Bypassing mediocre internal image processor of X5, connecting it's ancient sensor to a much more capable Inspire 2/M200 image processor will deliver substandard image quality anyway. But ... if you like...

    mapping with the zenmuse x5s

    Correct, DJI Phantom 4 Pro is perfect for mapping due to it's camera mechanical shutter. Shutter speed and aperture is adjustable to set the best possible parameters for this kind of photography, usually automatically made by any decent mapping software.

    mapping with the zenmuse x5s

    Basic rules for shooting a video with Inspire 2 and X5S camera are the same as for every digital camera: shutter speed double the fps. So, for 30 fps video 1/60 sec shutter will provide visually appealing motion blur, mimicking film effect. That is more apparent at low attitude flights with...

    Comparing the X5R to the X7 quality. Need advice

    Although dougcjohn compiled the most comprehensive answer to your dilemma, I'm not really sure what are you trying to achieve. X5R on M600 will be a step or two back, period. Licensed Inspire 2 with X7 camera and lenses is hard to beat when image quality/price ratio is considered. Sure thing you...

    Olympus 7-14mm f2.8 Pro

    No way for sure, too big and too heavy. First thing to consider before further research is the lens diameter (specs) and available space on X5S camera, measured between hinges. Unfortunately many other factors may prohibit the use of a particular candidate. The list of Zenmuse X5S compatible...
