Has anyone experienced any mechanical/technical issues with the Inspire 1 Remote Controller?  Our remote seems to be funtioning properly, however, the remote makes an internal clicking/knocking sound about every 1.5 seconds while it is powered on. We have contacted DJI support and they are investigating the issue.  Anyone else having issues with the C1?

I can't play your video, but I definitely have not noticed clicking or knocking.

Hey @metalios, we are uploading a YouTube video for easier visibility.  Glad to hear you aren't having this issue! Does anyone know what could cause a knocking sound like this? Should we be concerned about the internal battery?

That's a metronome for playing piano. It's a new feature.

The squirrel that powers the remote has a peg-leg!

As you can probably gather from the responses - it's not normal.

I feel bad for this guy, but if I were him, this would make me laugh! Sure DJI will replace in due time, if can't be fixed.

Update for anyone who is experiencing / may experience this issue; we are still corresponding with DJI to hopefully get a replacement controller.

Annoying and weird
