The standalone Lightbridge system allows for "dual video input" where it can simultaneously send both the gimbal video (to the camera operator) and a fixed FPV (to the pilot).
According to the DJI website, the Inspire comes with "all new and improved version of DJI's Lightbridge technology which can transmit video from up to 2km away." It also specifically says "Lightbridge Technology Built In." Not "a stripped down version of Lightbridge," but a "new and improved version of DJI's Lightbridge."
Now, I know there is no dedicated FPV camera included with the Inspire 1, but has anyone looked inside to confirm that it's truly on par with the older Lightbridge with a second video input? Or, has this been specifically ruled out? It seems to me adding a low-cost, lightweight dedicated FPV camera (e.g. a 600TVL @ 15 grams) would be a great option when using dual operators. It would be a shame to have to strap on a completely new FPV system when the current Lightbridge already can support Dual Video.
If there is no "dual video input," I think DJI needs to clarify that it's not using an "new and improved version" of Lightbrige but "Lightbridge Lite." Because, as the marketing material stands, it's implied that it has "Lightbridge," which (in current standalone form) supports TWO video inputs. Dual video is not a trivial feature of Lightbridge, but literally the #3 selling point of Lightbridge technology on the official site.
Does anyone have any insight on this? I'm assuming the fact an "optional FPV camera" has never been mentioned means the feature was removed, but I was hoping someone might have heard otherwise. And, if it's not included, has anyone thought about the realistic possibility of an aftermarket system for a fixed pilot FPV camera?
