As many Inspire 2 pilots know, the landing gear can become stuck in the raised position, and people have either had to "catch" their Inspire 2 drones in mid-flight (not safe) or else crash land the Inspire 2 and break the camera and gimbal. In fact, the problem is a firmware problem and DJI have still not fixed it according to tests I did using the very latest firmware today. The problem, its cause and a workaround were reported on Inspire Pilots forum by Jason Boucher on January 20, 2017, and this is an extract from what Jason said at that time:
"The Cause.
If you have the landing gear set to automatic, and you slowly land the Inspire while the gear is in the raised position the gear will start coming down. If you happen to give the drone throttle while the gear is coming down, the drone thinks you are no longer interested in landing, and then causes the gear to STOP and stay in whatever position it is at. I have also a few times see it stop going down, even if you continue to try and land.
Toggling the landing gear up and down via the remote switch does NOTHING.. no matter how often you do it. So what do you do? Its actually very simple
The Solution
Raise the Inspire to about 20 or 30 feet in the air, In the DJI Go 4 app press the Autoland button, and then slide the slider to the right.... The drone will begin to decent, but oh no.. the landing gear still doesn't come down... Toggle the bird from GPS mode to ATTI mode... the drone will then stop and hover in place.. Once it starts hovering toggle the landing gear switch on the RC up, and then Down. The landing gear will then begin to lower and allow you to land"
