Are the batteries' power consumption in the Inspire 1 and the Controller equal, or does one die before the other?

Thanks!

The first time I used mine, not flying just doing the updates and getting familiar with the Pilot App the Controller quit about the same time that the Inspire Battery did. After the one charge cycle the Controller seems to have plenty of power. There are others here that have done more charge cycles than I have and would be capable of giving you a better answer. I just wanted to let you know my experience because I was a little worried there until I  did the second cycle.

The Inspire 1 will not fly two miles away. DJI states it will fly "up to" 2 kilometers away.

From everything I've read, flying at 13,500 feet (or any extreme altitude above 400 feet without proper clearance) as your video suggests could get you into a world of trouble (and moves drones a step closer to being banned).   Even if you attempted this you'd be well out of range of the controller's signal. Two kilometers is only 6500+ feet.

We all need to fly responsibly and safely, if we wish to keep flying.

Don't know what happened to my first reply. I can't see it. If this is a dupe, please, accept my apologies.

Flying at 13,500 feet will get you in trouble with the possibility of moving us all one step closer to have our drones ban. Besides you'd lose signal long before reaching that altitude.

Inspire 1 will not fly 2 miles. DJI says "up to 2 kilometers" or "up to" 1.24274 miles.

We all need to fly responsibly and safely if we want to keep flying.

I just timed charging my 4700 battery and it look a few minutes over an hour. It had be drained down to 7%, according to the Pilot app (Android).

"The 4500 meters comes right out of the DJI specs on their site."

Yes, you are 100% correct. They are saying it has that capability, but your promo makes it sound like you are prepared and willing to do that.
