What height does you gear come down at on your Inspire 1 ? On mine I have to be about 2 .5 feet off the deck ( I meter or less ) and then it comes down slowly , I have to make sure it is all the way down so I don't hit the deck with my camera . I usually just lower my gear manually at about 15 feet off the deck . I think I will just turn the feature off since I really only use it to retract the gear , and then out of habit from AC retracts I hit the toggle up anyway on the RC when I take off . So I am hardly really using the Auto gear up feature ! ( I just realize this now !!!)

If I remember rightly Donnie, my gear comes down at about the 1m mark. It has been so long since I have used it. It really is only a novelty thing and since it ruined a shot ages ago I turned it off and haven't missed it. It's not like it is a great hardship to flick a switch after all whereas missing a great shot can be a major pain in the ass!
There are the times when someone says "Wow, does the gear go up on its own?" and you go "Oh yeh, sure does", but that s#it ran out of cool on about the second hit.
Craic is, if cool is your thing I guess you need it on, if you think it will get in the way of your filming, go manual.
