I had my I1 sat on my table today while setting up my second remote and camera settings. Had it running for about 5 minutes when i noticed the camera was getting hot.
Is this normal?

So if it is normal, how hot is it going to get? Is it going to hurt the camera? Should have answers.
I don't want to buy another camera because of this issue.
Mine also gets hot while I am setting it up.
Have to go through a lot of settings, so maybe 5 minutes of being on.
What about flying and taking video in 105% weather, where you go through 2 batteries?
Anyone have the answers to these?

It gets hot and can actually either inhibit the camera from functioning or it may eventually damage the camera.

Several months ago when I had not had my Inspire more than a couple of months and needed to update the firmware.....AGAIN and I was not that familiar with the D D D D changing to a different tone, it took me a couple of hours to update the firmware for the camera, drone and 3 batteries.  

At the end of the updating, the camera was hot but functioning.

The next morning I tested the drone and the camera would not produce an image nor could you get a camera view.  Tried it again the next day and the same thing.  

I had a job out of state to video about 3,000 acres and planned the trip to stop at a DJI authorized dealer along the way (what were the chances?).

When I arrived at the dealer, I took out and set up the Inspire 1 and the camera worked fine and has ever since.  The Inspire 1 and the camera produced extremely great footage and I flew it for several hours with no problems whatsoever.

However, I am buying a backup camera as this drone is not a toy, it is a tool for producing images that make me money and it is not like you can just go down to the corner DroneZone and buy parts.
