Hi Guys just wondering what flight times you are getting from your I2

Flight time?
weather temp?
% battery left after flight?
Also X5s or X4s?

Cheers
Karl

X5s, about 20 min, 20% left, roughly 30-40 degrees

X5s, about 20 min, ~20% left, 30C. Pretty standard.

Not bad, wonder if they will release a high capacity battery like the I1?

I thought they had stopped making the TB 48?

probably trying to force inspire 1 x5 down to 10/12 mins to make the dual battery option look nicer?

I'm happy with the flight times.  After I'm out for a few sets, I tuck her back in her nice case and pull out her brother, the Mavic.

I believe it is still available. I think it is the most wanted for the I 1. There are a lot of I 1's out there that will be around for a very long time. Great Machine.

The times are great. I would like to get one with the X5 Camera but I don't want to lose the flight time so hopefully a larger battery will come along to make up for the extra weight.

that would be really great

No one has the x4s to comment on flight time?

We were filming couple of weeks ago temperature +4c we using 1 Inspire 1 1 Inspire Pro and my I2 with a X4S, all took off at the same time all had fully charged batteries halfway through the shot the other two landed to replace there batteries I continued hovering we then continue with the shot we all landed with about 35% left on the batteries.

Conclusion I manage to stay out twice as long as the other 2 + the time it took to them to swap there  batteries reboots and get airborne again back up to our operational hight of 40m.

Thanks for your feedback. But would 35% on I2 not be longer than 35% on I1 ?

That wasn't my point just trying to give a rough indication of the difference in flight times between the 3 platforms, it wasn't a scientific test we're all flying differently to each other i.e. different altitudes, some of us were hovering for longer some of us were flying around at different speeds.

I was not implying that your was or was not (a scientific test) I was merely asking if you thought that 35% battery on I2 was more flight time left to get to 20% than on I1 at the same battery level?

Thanks

I realise that I'm I didn't mean to offend you was just trying to point out didn't set out to do a comparison test.

Implications aside, surely your flight record shows how long your flight was on that I2. The time and percentage at landing would be of interest to me, especially since I'm going for the x4s because it should offer longer flights. Thanks.

I'm getting about 24 minutes with batteries down to 20% with x4s in 0C weather.

A bit more than 20 minutes. Batteries to 20% I have th X5S

Anyone done a test with out X5S or X4S attached?

Hi Arrow,
no offence taken, sometimes it's hard to get what people are meaning in a chat / text window

You're right it is

Thanks for the the x4s follow up. When you get down to 20%,do you notice unusually fast percentage drop at that point? I'm hopeful that I can make it back home from a couple thousand feet out if levels get that low.
