    Gimbal died when I was deep cycling the battery

    Yeah, it is only 8 months old and 5 hours of flight time. The inspire was only on for 30 minutes. I hope for an industrial unit it will be more robust in the future. My Rc heli ran for 10 years it's litre maintenance. It looks to be the 2 processing chips on the top of the gimbal. Waiting to...

    Gimbal died when I was deep cycling the battery

    Hello, I have an 5x pro. I was deep cycling my second battery when I notice a burning smell. I popped the gimbal off and it seems like the smell is strongest where it connects the the inspire 1. I will call me dealer but was wondering if anyone has experienced this before? No hard landings and...

    X5 motion blur

    Very informative ! A little over my head but I am looking into the informative points you made. I was told to have my x5 on aperture priority. I did a test flight last night and unless I am on manual mode or shutter priority in the setting I can not change shutter when using aperture priority...

    X5 motion blur

    I did some reading. I have only had it up twice. My calibration looks good. My main concern was that I changed the sd card and it was choppy (judder). I didn't know how different progressive vs interlace could be. I haven't had the time or weather to change setting. Thanks for the knowledge and...

    X5 motion blur

    Thanks for the response. My old industrial heli platform I use to shoot everything in 1080p at 60. I was more on the photo end. I am new to this Inspire 1 pro setup but know my old gear was very clear and sharp. I will experiment this weekend and see what kind of footage I can get. Thanks for...

    X5 motion blur

    It could be. I also was in Auto and not manual mode. I will try and post a video. I may have to compress it into a smaller format.

    X5 motion blur

    Thanks for the info! I tried to post the clip but it is 120 MB. Seems ok in forward flight but you are correct with the bite rate. It seems like the 4k is too much. I may reduce it to 1080p. I will be doing some test flying this weekend. I bought the pro to shoot in 4K. My mac is new and has...

    X5 motion blur

    I am getting the opposite. My video is clear but choppy on the yaw access. Is that because I am shooting in 4K ? Thanks Jay

    Calibrating Lens?

    I think I got my lens final set up correctly. It seems like it focuses now. i made a turn in my video that seems to chop the footage even with a fairly slow turn. Does anyone here know if that is normal? no post production yet, just was outside trying the lens calibration. Thanks

    Not happy with X5 quality of pics. Advise pls.

    Thanks for your time! It was my inspire 1 Madian flight. I had good temp on my battery because I can fly it out side my back door. It said battery error and was around 3.8 volts on each cell then the message went away. I have flowed gas heli aerial platforms in the past but and new to the...

    For the calibration, does the manual Aperture need to be set to the lowest f stop? My stock lens came at 5.6. I had a battery error of a few seconds in flight today so my main concern was solving that issue.
