As we know Inspire 1 can fly up to 500 m high. How about Inspire 2 ? Can it fly up to 500 m or even more?

YES but you need to consider the high altitude props

High altitude propeller are recommended for 2500 - 5000 m range. I live around 400 m from the sea level. If you say that Inspire 2 fly to 500m it will be around 900m and if I climb a high hill nearby I will get 1400m tops.
Do I really  need those propellers? I've seen a video with Inspire 1 when somebody was using those propellers at low altitude and he lost around 10% fight time. The battery depleted faster.
My question was if you can fly to 500m or the max altitude is restricted by DJI ??? If is restricted what is the max altitude for Inspire 2 ??? I know for Inspire 1 is 500m.

If you are at 400m above sea level and you would take your inspire 2  up 500m above that, yes you would be at 900m above sea level and should not require high altitude props.

I think these are designed for where the take of point is 2500m to 5000m above sea level.

personally I have not tried to go anywhere near 500m  with my I2 as I am under international and domestic flight path and 3 airports within 40 kms

Maybe one day when I head out into the country far far away

Yes.. Its limited in the DJI app to 500m (1640ft) on all the Drones  The I2 is also restricted to a Max distance of 8000m (but it will never get that far)

I have flown one of mine father than 8km ... but i was using 4G...

Really?  Well my iOS app limits you to a max range of 8k?

If your using the R/C normal radio maybe so. But on 4G it has no idea how far you are as no signal is being sent with GPS information

How did you do that Dr Jon ?  I was not aware DJI had that out yet ......Or is this like a home brew.  This is what I have been dreaming of !

donnie

+ 1 what he said, inquiring minds want to know.

Can you enlighten us Dr. Jon how you have flown the I2 using 4G?

because i'm developing a 4G application to permit the I2 to use 4G rather than the normal radio. Already done a demonstration to the end customer and have 6 victims doing a beta test for me.

Based on a 4G dongle inserted in both the I2 and the R/C . Range is only limited by the battery power.

One minor issue is you cant fly above 100m as 4G operators aerials are pointed downwards and not up in the sky.

Because the penetration of 4G is better than the 2.8 / 5.4 your can fly in places that the I2 cant fly as normally

is it possible to fuse the two technologies, and leverage both 4G and 2.4Ghz to ensure a signal isn't lost.  I.e. if 2.4 goes week or is lost, the 4G signal picks up the responsibility for transmission.  Added level of insurance...

already done... and lots more

will this software be available via the Apple Store?

It maybe it depends on my customer once i have delivered his code i will make a smaller version which i will sell via Apple store. His code includes many of the things you will find in GS PRO plus some very specific items he wants for his region requirements.

This sounds wonderful.
