Mate - perception is reality as they say. It's sad but true - if you rock up with this in the case your clients will appreciate it more than a Mavic. The Inspire is not only a professional drone but more importantly, it looks like one.
The company who sold me the drone have direct links to the CAA here in the UK so I am reading up on the PFCO - three-day course and voila... I can start charging!

Who you using and where are you in the UK ??

I just love the sound as you bring her down slowly controlled to land and power down. I get a kick out of it every single time and that's before I download the footage and am even more thrilled. It's a pure beast.

I love my I1v2.  I don’t see replacing mine anytime soon.  The Z3 camera with The zoom makes the inspire just that much better.  I have already had mine up to 80 MPH   They are definitely a joy to fly.  I don’t even worry about when conditions anymore with this bird still flies very stable and Highwinds

Am I missing something.  The specs for the Inspire 1 say 'Max Speed' is "49 mph or 79 kph (ATTI mode, no wind)".....were you flying with a tornado at your back.  

Nice!  I haven't flow the Inspire to date.  Maybe down the road but sound like you made a great choice.  Like some others have said, I would love to see some footage from it when you have time.  Enjoy!!

I think they look menacing and gorgeous at the same time with a hint of General Grievous from Star Wars.....Nice.

Hahahaha - very true

I bought the whole set up brand new from Heliguy (authorised UK DJI dealers who provide a 24 month warranty with the I1 V2) - I live in London.

It's an amazing drone mate - so pleased I made the right decision on this one!

I think it was 30+ MPH winds when I touched 77.7MPH - though cruising at 70MPH is quite normal with the wind. Even flying into a moderate wind I exceed 50MPH. There have been massive updates on the Inspire 1 and X3 since they first came out. Range was 2KM and now it's 5KM. The X3 now records c.4K, 2.7K, 1080p @ 120p and has a x2 digital zoom - none of those features were ever advertised and yep - you can see my top speed for yourself below...

Thanks though I never post videos on line with any of my drones - never have in over two years of flying. Takes too long and video editing bores me

But here are a few stills I have taken with the Inspire over the past 5 to 6 weeks since receiving it

Holy Smokes!  That's incredible...didn't realize how much speed this drone could get.  Watch out for those geese.....Now you've got me thinking about getting an Inspire...thanks.

Nice!  Yeah, the editing and posting videos is quite the process.  You've got some great shots there.

Sorry wasn’t aware this was your forum, keep up the one liners you’ll reach your target soon. But keep your bullying to yourself, nobody’s intimidated by it.

It's my thread and your irrelevant comments are not welcome as I detest you and your racism against my country. Now disappear - you're not welcome!

What racism explain ? Or can you because it doesn’t look like you can.

Yes - and I can also respond to your comments that precipitated that - but the profanity you sent me alone is too much. You are a nasty piece of work and a detractor on this forum.
EDIT: And just to educate you - 'Paddy pants down' refers to a politician in the UK who was caught out and who's first name is Paddy (a very famous incident) - it's a figure of speech in media and not related to where you live. Unlike your remark which is clearly anglophobic.

Well you need to go back and check what you wrote, because most of it is much more vile than what I posted.
But I note you have no problem now with racism.

I despise racism as much as I despise you, David Walker. Now - I'm done with you on here. Please ensure not to slur my country again. Is that too much to ask!
