    X5 DOWN! Gimbal repair?! Only slightly bump!! Camara is untouched!

    Wow! That's impressive!! I can only hope for the same treatment! It would be most reassuring. I'm eager to see how they'll be.

    X5 DOWN! Gimbal repair?! Only slightly bump!! Camara is untouched!

    Hello. I just updated my inspire to the latest firmware for my X5 and took it out to the park for a spin. I crashed it. Completely my fault. I touched some branches on a tree about 4 foot off the ground, my inspire flipped and landed on the soft grass perfectly upside down. It still flies...

    DJI repair costs

    Wow! I just crashed my inspire with x5 into some low branches, about 4 foot off the grass. It flipped perfectly upside down, so the x5 wan't touched. Inspire is fine, still flies fine. but the top motor in the gimbal of my x5 has pulled loose just from the shake. Let's see what dji can...

    Osmo with X5

    Hello. I bought my handle and x5 in october. I've been waiting for the firmware update and the adaptor. So far I've wasted 2000 pounds. I wouldn't buy yet, if at all. I'm so frustrated with dji. Emailed many times and no response. Very disappointed.

    X5 issues HELP!

    Thanks. I'll give that a try. I've done the imu calibration, perfectly level etc. And compass calibration many times. But perhaps not that meticulously. I'll try it. Thanks for your help. Simon.

    Jerky yaw

    Hi there. Yes I've got the same problem, among others. Impossible to yaw smoothly. But if I try, and I get a consistent turn, just turning on the spot in a circle, the gimbal will throw in all sorts of inconsistencies. My equipment is all basically useless right now. Gimbal not holding...

    X5 issues HELP!

    Hey. Thanks for your reply. Re-installing the camera? I haven't done that yet. And idea how one might do that? .Apparently I can recalibrate all the sensors as well. Going to try that in a bit.

    X5 Auto Exposure Flickering

    Really great test with the crosshairs. Sadly, I'm thinking of going back to my x3 now as well because I've got the same issues. Thing is though, only on the yaw (x) axis. My y is all good. But mine is exact same as yours which is basically useless for long exposures. I wasted two evenings...

    X5 Auto Exposure Flickering

    Yup. Very sad. Same problem here. Just spent £2k on the x5 upgrade and it's not holding steady and it also flickers. Footage is virtually useless. Don't know what to do.

    X5 Auto Exposure Flickering

    Hi there. Yes, I jut got the x5 and am experiencing the exact same issue. Can shoot in manual and have to use the AE lock. Which I'm not sure what to do because many shots move from something dark to something light. How are we to get this footage if we have to lock the ISO settings? I've...

    X5 issues HELP!

    Cool thanks. Will calibrate during the day. And that's sufficient even after packing and unpacking? No need to calibrate again?

    X5 issues HELP!

    Hi there. Thanks for your reply. Yeah was trying to calibrate the focus on things 50 meters away, but in the dark. I eat trying it on the city lights and it just wasn't gonna happen. So "maybe it doesn't work in the dark?" Says my friend. Well maybe it better since that's the reason I got it...

    X5 issues HELP!

    Hey guys. First time on the forum. My name is Simon Finlayson I just bought a X5 for my Inspire 1. I’ve been looking forward to it for some time. Planning on getting the OSMO as well as a few other bits, but really really need to get this sorted first. Sadly, I’ve had nothing but trouble...
