Hi all,

Picture this, the 3rd day out of the box and all is going well. Taking some aerial footage of mountain bikers, land to move the Inspire to another location. We have a good video link and we are using two controllers. While discussing the shot the video link is lost, so after trying few things like restarting the controllers, we restart the Inspire 1 and this happens -



We restart the inspire 1 and it does the same, shooting is done for the day. We go home and give everything a good inspection and find nothing obviously wrong. Try to start it one more time and the camera still going crazy. I took the camera off and calibrated the IMU and compass and took it for a flight. It flies ok with no issues. We then put the camera back on and it is dead.
I live in the Middle East and bought the Inspire 1 in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. We don’t have any dealers close so it will be either back to Germany or the China.

Any recommendations ?

Thanks for your help!

All updated with the latest firmware and using IOS with a brand new iPad Air 2 on the master controller and a iPad mini on the slave controller.

I have  sent DJI an email with a link to the video - I will keep you updated.

Cheers

looks like some power failure ,some kind of connector issue or input signal.
this situation was  pre or post firmware upgrade?
if the anwer is POST, do you re calibrate and link the transmitter (small red button) ?
without the gimbal mounted , do you see if the aircraft  show strange values in the "sensors screen "
available local options.
Ttry to re adjust the small gimbal connector?( flat cable)
Re install the firmware (aircraft)
Re install the firmware (controller side)
De link the 2nd controller, or use the 2nd as Main.
contact to DJI live 800 support.

I would try to re link but the camera is now dead.
I had been flying for about 1 hr after the last firmware upgrade.
I contacted DJI in Europe and they tried to be helpful but said I had to contact China.
Email and video sent, They responded that they will get back to me.... waiting

First I would remove the .TXT file and go through the upgrade process to see if there is a corrupt file.  What is the version of the firmware is on your camera, v1.03 or v.104?  I would also check the tiny pins on the top of the camera.  Make sure that they are all in alignment and seated on the bottom of the mount.

Hi All,

DJI so far has been good as gold. They sent me DOA form and I have dropped the parcel with the camera at DHL and sent them a tracking number.

12 hrs later I get a tracking number from DJI for the replacement!

I checked DHL website and it is en-route -awesome job for support DJI!

Replacement camera arrived last Monday, the first thing I noticed was how smooth the initial gyro start-up/stabilization was compared with the original camera.
That makes me think the original was defective from the factory.

Thanks for the quick turn around DJI!
