1.  Any hints if TB55 battery can be used on Inspire 2, instead of TB50?
If Yes, how much extra time do you get?
2 .  According to this product from Nitecore https://charger.nitecore.com/product/dpe1 it is possible to use TB55 on Inspire 2.
Does somebody have Nitecore DPE1 product? How the drone is flying with 4 battery? It is stable? My concern is regarding extra weight on struts and possible motor assembly detachment due to the fact, it is only glued to the arm.
Any info regarding those 2 things will be great

Holy sh*t .... that looks ... sketchy but awesome !!!

I have many Nitecore products. Excellent quality. But I didn't find anything about DPE1 device and TB55 battery. Nothing on internet or YouTube.

Hi, thanks for the inquiry. The TB55 batteries are too large, which will affect the raising and lowering of the Inspire 2’s landing gears, therefore, the TB55 can't be used on our Inspire 2. Never use them with the Inspire 2. The image that you've provided to us is not recommended by DJI, therefore, we couldn't guarantee the outcome and this may cause a problem with the aircraft. Thank you for understanding.

Here is the flight time
With TB55 you get 10 minutes more.

did you find any information about price and availability ?

They were launched in 26 march this year. No price info. Expect around 40$.

haha I think you are quite optimistic .... I would guess 200-400 $$$

Nitecore gun mounts or bicycle mounts are around 5$. This is nothing more then a Nitecore mount with a conector. At 200-400$ range nobody will buy it. Plus extra batteries. With 400$ you can buy flashlights form Nitecore TM series the most expensive from Nitecore

Cool! Thanks for sharing

Oops, my mistake ...

Among many matured Inspire 2 pilots this device is considered as a dangerous April fool joke, not recommended by all means.
Anybody for 37+ minutes of flight time

Is more dangerous then doing this: cutting the tip of the propellers and flying with a heavy bag under?

Or carrying huge boxes full with 100 packs of cigarettes across the Romanian-Ukrainian border?https://forum.dji.com/thread-85043-1-1.html

Yep. The difference between "stunts" with risk mitigation and providing a product to the public that increases risk substantially is obvious
I don't care if they sell it, and people buy it. It's a free country. Naturally if its an unsafe product we'll see it fail to be adopted

We've seen things on YTube which are questioning our humanity, but in most cases such "experiments" affects the safety or property of "stunt" performer only.  In this case the device in question may affect the safety of innocent, unaware and valuable members of our kind. I have no intention nor rights to tell you what you can or can not do. I'm just expressing my personal opinion about it, based on my knowledge and skills.

not questioning your skills and knowledge - but let´s still have an open discussion ;)  ... I also have doubts ... but flying above people with a non redundant bird would be the biggest questioning of humanity in the first pace.

I could see this working totally fine when the pilot flies non aggressively - applied forces and wear and tear could (you might convince me I am wrong )  be similar to someone racing and breaking the aircraft hard.
Sure this extra weight would not be something for everyday use but for certain filming applications I think this could be a game changer.

I think it would be interesting to see how much hotter the motors get when adding some payload the same weight as two TB55 + 203g and let it hover for some time !?

Flo, I can elaborate on this issue in technical details trying to explain the flight range limitations of any gravity fighting apparatus, but it'll be long and boring. Just trust me: it is a suicidal approach ...

Sounds interesting to me ... but lots of typing for you so if you got some links to read up on this - save your time  ... I would be happy to get more educated ....

For well over 100 years engineers are trying to solve this dilemma ... How much fuel a given aircraft can carry to get the most reasonable range/payload ratio? Other words: when an aircraft will start to struggle lifting the fuel rather than a payload? At some point adding more fuel will result in burning most of it just to take off and maintain the flight of bulky fuel tank rather than performing the mission. Look at the enormous tanks of Columbia shuttle ...
The theory behind this issue is not that easy to access and digest, but Google is your best fiend ...

I found this product a while back but I couldn't find any information about it and I just left it.  I suddenly remembered it today and went looking again and I found one video which Nitecore has commented on saying the price is $219.00.

@Flo The Pirate you were spot on!

It will be very interesting to see how this product performs with real use.  
Have a great day everyone!

Very laconic comments are posted below, but my skepticism remains. There's no reason to transform elegant, fast and swift aircraft into a flimsy, bulky fuel carrier. Plain stupid idea, IMHO.

I get what u are saying but following the link you provided the guy is getting 50% more flight time (and is claiming better stability of the aircraft) - i know it would be great to get 100% longer flight ( and it shows that dji probably hit the sweet spot ) but for me as a film maker this could still be a more than 50% benefit as i could save the energy and time to get the drone (back) into filming position and once return to home. So as i like to not fligh aggressivly and fast,  i argue you that this could benefit my use case up to 75% ;) .... what is a not too bad ratio

Flo, your arguments are making sense. We all know that Inspire 2 is incredibly potent and powerful, she'll handle such abuse easily. Bottom line: if (rarely) some 10 min extra of flight time is required, this device may deliver indeed. But - again - every molecule in my brain screams NO when considering it as a permanent mod.

In early days of my adventure with DJI quads I've developed floats for Inspire 1Pro. This elaborate device worked perfectly, allowing for safe take off and landing on water. It was a must since I was operating the machine single-handedly off the boat. However, the drone lost some 3 minutes of flight time, all swiftness and grace. The floats saved my bird once when performing emergency landing with no power left, but that's all. The floats were abandoned once I mastered hand catching technique ...

wow ! that looks awesome smart construction! how much weight did it add ?

Impressive looking set up

A mere 300 G, if I remember correctly.
