Okay here are some totally stupid rediculous questions.  Does anyone know the answers to these:

Can you use the Zenmuse Z3 Camera on Inspire 2?
Are the batteries for the Inspire 1 compatible with the Inspire 2?
Can you use a remote from the Inspire 1 as a slave to the remote on the Inspire 2?

I know you are going to ask me why would I be asking these totally stupid questions ... well I obvoiusly own an Inspire 1 and I'm trying not to start over from scratch.

Your help would be appreciated.

The Inspire 1 batteries are not Compatible with the Inspire 2.

I tried to Pair the Inspire 1 remote to my new Inspire 2 and it will not connect. I think because the Inspire 1 remote uses the old Go App V3  and the New Inspire 2 uses the New Go App V4.

Also .... the battery estimates that DJI is posting ... does anyone know which camera is that with or is it without a camera altogether?

Currently the Only two cameras that are compatible with the Inspire 2 are the X5s and the X4s.

Okay this makes sense ... I was unaware that the Inspire 1 is not supported with the DJI Go V4.

I'm chatting with B&H Tech and they are telling me the ONLY cameras that will work with the Inspire 2 are the X5s and the X4s.  That being said I guess I can't use my Zenmuse Z3 camera from my Inspire 1

No the Z3 or any other Inspire 1 accessory is not usable with the Inspire 2. No the Inspire 1 remote is not compatible with the I2. The Inspire 2 camera processing is done inside the drone and not the camera. Sorry there has been a lot of discussion about this in the past.

You are starting over with the Inspire 2

That's just DJI marketing.

Thank you Rich .... In starting out I think I would have to go with the X4S before making the plunge into an X5S camera.  Do you happen know know what the difference is no battery life flying the Inspire 2 with the X4s and the X5s camera?

You are welcome and sounds like a good plan if you are not a pro looking for upper end video.

The other threads are saying about 20-22 minutes with the X5S camera so far. The X4S camera is a 1/2 lb lighter so it should do better and possibly up to the 27 minute claim by DJI.  I have not seen much on flight times while using the X4S camera yet being posted.

Okay this is a big help.  Thank you very much.  I'm hoping to get the X5S eventually but not right off the bat.  Being that the ONLY way I can get this thing off the ground is with the X4S I will probably go that route first.  I've been watching some X5S and X4S comparisons on YouTube and they are quite interesting how good the X4S is.  Much thanks for your feedback on the battery.  I did a search but came up empty handed.  Your comments are most appreciated.
