Hi Everyone
Having an issue with the Inspire 2 landing gear motor
I was flying yesterday - everything was working grand, put it back in the box as normal no problem.
This evening I was working on a quick photo job but when I went flying the drone, I powered it up as normal and took it out of case mode to landing mode so I could attach the camera. After I did this the drone refused to change its flight mode. On takeoff it would not screw the central gear up to put the arms/props into a normal flight mode which I thought was odd.
However, I went ahead with the flight as everything else seemed to be working and I just needed 20mins in a small area.
When I landed and tried to strip down the drone for packing away again I found out I couldn't put it back into the case mode.
So now I have a drone which is stuck in landing mode.
The only technical thing I can otherwise add to help describe my problem is when I try to press the power button 6 times to change the mode, the motor gives out a small whine but does nothing and the drone powers on as if I had turned it on normally.
The other thing was when flying, the drone kept telling me about landing gear function being restored.
I wouldn't mind too much as the drone is 2 years old, but I sent it to DJI for a service at the start of this year in which they replaced that landing unit because they decided it needed it, so its a brand new motor.
My first thought is im going to get the Airhose to it in the morning to see if its a dust/sensor problem, but if anyone else has any ideas or has experienced similar problems which they managed to fix itd be great to hear about it.
I would send it directly back to DJI to get it fixed but I need it for a job this weekend coming...
