I need to build custom Hexa with X5R under 5kg with parachute.

Am I correct that I need A3 + Lightbridge2 + second remote? -  http://store.dji.com/product/a3-lightbridge-2?from=menu_products

But, can I also control drone with second DJI radio as with the Inspire or do I need another radio as you would for S900 or S1000?

Thanks

If you are going to do a dual operation, then you would need ty buy another LB2 RC. The Inspire 1 RC is not compatible with Lightbridge 2. The only issue that I see with your set up is the parachute. Please be advised that the F2-F4 ports on the A3 are not able to be mapped for customizable functions, so I'm unsure as to how you would trigger it to deploy outside of SDK.

Parachute has to be independently triggered. There are some triggers available, so there is no problem.

So I can't use any remote from the Inspire? I have to buy two new ones?

Is this all I need to mount and fly my X5R on a custom hexa with DJI remotes and video link?

You are correct in regards to the A3/LB2 combo with the second LB2 ground end. Instead of the Inspire 1 X5 Mounting Kit, you would need to use the M600 X Mount:

The only other thing you would run into is that the mount connections may need to be customized, but that would be at your discretion. That's the most direction that I would be able to provide, since you are using a 3rd party frame.

Thank you for the conformation.

I will figure everything else out, just wanted to be sure about the correct DJI electronic components to work with the X5R.

Best of luck to you!

Just to be sure, I can't use Wookong or A2 for the X5R gimbal, right?

But can I use Graupner Radio to control A3 and DJI remote via LB2 for the gimbal?

The Wookong and the A2 would not work with the X5R in tandem with Lighttbridge 2, it will only work with the A3. If you want dual operation from Lightbridge 2, then it would require 2 LB2 RCs, you cannot use 3rd party RCs with this system.

With The Dji A3 or N3 combine with ligthbridge2 you can only use the LB2 ground unit to control it, the drone and the gimbal , you need to have 2 ground unit LB2 controllers. Cheers.
