IIRC the update from v1.5 to v1.6 was mandatory. I had a WLAN connection and so the central status bar was red flashing "firmware update pending" (or similar). If I am not wrong I was not able to start the flight and I had to update.
When I read the v1.5 issue with the inflight power cut off (cold battery protection) I thought: they had to ground their A/Cs with the northern hemisphere flying in cold temperatures...
With v1.3 and v1.4 I had the impression of a flawless product. Shortly before v1.5 I had two inflight compass errors (on v1.4) on different locations. Since v1.5 I have the vibration issue and the A/C sounds generally louder when passing by (old ESC&motors).
I set the yaw gain to 85% which helps to eliminate the vibrations on ground idle (and maybe in hover; still have to test it).
Probably my props are worn out (maybe due to imbalance?, 88 hours) and I will check with a new set.
Everything else (video quality, horizon, performance (recognized the new v1.6 "cold temp reduced thrust" feature on a straight climb), video link, RC range etc.) is as good as of the first day (EDIT: or maybe even better).
What irritated me (or maybe underlines the v1.5 problems) is that the version history list in the release notes of v1.6 FW upgrade does not mention v1.5 (it goes straight from v1.4 to v1.6).
Regarding my level of v1.5/1.6 FW consideration I am somewhere "in between" compared to people having absolutely no negative effects and others having A/Cs shivering like mad and producing jello effects example videos...
Regarding the discussion about "new ESCs (motherboard) & motors" I trust DJI that they make no difference from the performance side. (They were open to communicate the better performance of Inspire V2's new motors). But I have the impression that FWs v1.5 (cold battery cut off problem) and v1.6 are optimized for these new ESCs/motors and so the vibration problem was introduced for the (EDIT: or some?) original configurations.
I am also wondering if cold temperatures in general are contributing to the vibration problem as they occured for me (concurrently with v1.5/1.6) in colder outside air temperatures. "nicwilson" has no problems in Australia with temperatures of around 30°C...
Just my thoughts (and massive round up) of all I have read the last month.
Sorry for the "lead desert" as we call it in German for a desert of hot metal typesetting...
Always happy landings! |
