Can you write your flights (take-off or flight time) without errors and crashes?

Is it safe fly with Inspire ?

Thank You

Or no one has flown their I1s without crashing
I have had around 40 flights with my I1 and thankfully not crashed. I have however had GPS single lose and it almost hit some trees. There also still seems to be a persistant problem with the Failsafe setting resetting to zero which is my biggest concern right now.

I've had plenty of flights with no problems or damage, but I have not flown for the last three weeks as a result of all the stories of battery issues/fly-aways/crashes.

Since they released a new firmware today, I'll get my Inspire updated and have a quick test flight either this evening or tomorrow.

30+ flights without crash but a lot of GPS drops (it's better since the previous firmware) but still having many video black-outs.

I once had a situation where the I-1 did not what I commanded it to but was only flying in one fixed direction no matter where I instructed it to fly to. At least it stood still if I didn't do anything. That was the moment when I started losing confidence in the I-1. I also had one battery drop from 40% to 8%.

I have an important shooting in three weeks, in the meantime it's grounded after all the fly-away stories. Also I don't want to risk to hurt anyone around me with an I-1 that goes berserk.

I hope DJI gets these issues sorted out soon - I am really considering getting rid of my I-1 as long as someone is willing to buy it!

160+ flights, 150km+ 20+hours in air. Not a single crash - I flown inside, outside, in woods, under bridges etc. Just be careful and it should be OK. A flew flyaways, had only 1 since the latest firmware update. I had one battery drop from 56% to 8% but as it was written here many times, you need to charge the batteries full before flight. I stored that battery for 2+ weeks, and I popped it into the inspire it had around 58%. After takeoff, it immediately dropped to 8.

73 flights ... no crashes ...
1 battery "drop out" from 55% to 7% with "emergency landing" on recent flight flying with semi charged battery on take off which is not recommended ...
Hopefully this issue is fixed with new firmware update today but I will not take any chances on this in the future.

118 flights, no crashes, no problems This is an incredible machine! I have flown in the winter with temperatures at -10F with snow on the ground and at the beach with temperatures at 92F over sand and water. I am very carful and I do a pre flight check before flying every time.

My first i1 was bricked out of the box - as soon as I tried the upgrade in firmware. My second one Ive had for 1 month and have about 30 flights with only one brief loss of signal (flying over metal piping) otherwise smooth. Using Apple Iphone 6 plus and Galaxy Tab 4 - no video breaks or glitches. So far so good!

So here's a hypothetical to all of you who have had no issues. If you could get 100% of your money back, right NOW would you send it back and cash out?

I have flown many hours with the I1 and only had one slight issue that I am fairly certain was my getting ahead of myself more than anything else which I think a lot of the "flyaways" are but I have no desire to insert myself into that situation at all.  Yes imho it is completely safe to fly.

What goes up must come down....Not always the way we would like it to, this is physics and Murphy's law in action my friend it's the way our world works.  Airliners crash is it safe to fly them? Imho Yes it is, same thing here things happen...

My total flight time is 15 hrs 13 min
       Total flights - 217
       Total distance - 63.63 miles
And have never had as much as a hard landing - I use it to do roof inspection. real estate photos, Bridge inspections, car shows, carnivals, and im doing a civil war battle this weekend. I have had way better luck with the inspire 1 than I had with the vision or the vision 2+.


This is mine now still working and looking good
