Hi All.
Just thought I would let you know about my first flight with theInspire 1.
The first 2 batteries I used, I kept it on beginner mode as Iwanted to get a feel of the craft in flight, and more over feel comfortablewith flying again (flew RC helicopters years ago).
3rd battery, beginner mode off and I was starting to relax, whata machine!!
4th battery, this happened

Now I must admit that I never experiencedthe loss of GPS signal that quite a few people reported just after startup withthe first 2 batteries, but after reviewing the flight log, GPS was lost on thisoccasion.
What I don’t understand is, when this craftgoes into P-ATTI mode, why did I also loose all right stick function.

Also on the flight log, I can see that thecraft keeps switching from P-ATTI to P-GPS and back repeatedly during theissue.

Luckily safe landing and everythings ok.
Oh, and I get home to find a new firmware package, maybe this will sort the issue out!

Perhaps you need to send the flight logs in to DJI for review.  It may help everyone even if it seems to be working fine now.

I guess the more flight data DJI have to review the better the future updates will be.

Did you by chance calibrate the imu  ans compass calibration before flight?

I did both IMU and compass, all was in parameters.

How long does it need to be out of contact before it attempts to return to the point of departure?

Seems like it spends too much time making its own decisions when not receiving input.
