haha love the hummingbird hovering behind you at 14:00 as you talk about having the drone hover!
Thank you for putting this up - very helpful.
Great video, just got the version 2 Inspire... Thanks alot my friend !
2:50 :
The "struts" are to rotate the piece the motors are attached to so when it moves up, the tube rotates and so does the motors. If the gear just rotated up without rotating then the props would touch.
It is not used to make sure things are level.
Nice job and great information about the DJI I1. Thanks for taking the time to explain the detailed inner workings of this quad.
Hello Josh, great video. You are doing a great job with the information and the way you present. Keep it up! Good job.
Thanks
great video! thanks for your time!
Great vid and tips keep these clips coming ace !!!
Great video and very informative
Great video, thumbs up. Cheers from sunny Nelsons DockYard Marina, Antigua in the Caribbean.
Thanks for sharing your video!
I just upgraded to the Inspire 1 and this video was excellent! Thank you
Thank you for taking the time !! As a new user it is very much appreciated. Best from Woodland Hills ! :-)
Thank you for your view on the DJI.
Good info! Thanks for your time.
Great video. Thx! Waiting for mine to be delivered! Do you prefer the quick release props or the stock ones?
Thanks Josh! great video :)
nice vid, thnx.
what i am wondering though is which screws are you refering to after the 200 flights?
Good job Bro. Thanks.
I am a novice Phantom 3 owner and watch every video I find on RUclips and found yours of value. I like the basic premise of not covering stuff already found online. I like the info about compass calibration as I'm sure that applies to the Phantom as well. I also doubt that an Inspire (or Phantom) would go through a roof in free fall. "Myth Busters" dropped a grand piano from 100 feet on the roof of a house and it didn't go through. Roofs have a tendency to be pretty stout especially where the supports are located.
thanks for the great advice!
Question: Where did you get those shark mouth & eyes stickers for that drone? I want one. Thanks. Great video!
Thank you, nice advice!
Great info
I like your decals.....link for purchase please and thanks for all your effort from so long ago.
good tips, Thanks
Thank for sharing, you just got one more subscriber. Cheers from St Maarten in the Carribean
very useful video my friend
Hi josh, where did you get the cool smilin' decal for the front?
How do you feel about the latest software upgrade ?? Where did you get the decals for the front ??
Hey Josh. When will you be upgrading to the X5?
Just a couple things you should make clear to your audience:
1. Brushless motors absolutely can and do fail. Several different ways. Magnets can come unglued because of the vibration and temperature which causes them to jam up, sometimes instantly. The wire leads can short out internally should they ever accidentally contact each other in flight, this actually happened to me 3 days ago on a qav250 with cobra motors. Lastly and most commonly is the bearings wear out and become rough drawing excessive amperage, sometimes causing them to freeze up but I have only heard this and never seen it first hand.
2. Putting foam balls on the feet will not effect the antenna signal. Foam is RF transparent. I wouldn't use this method just for the simple fact that I wouldn't want it to go for a swim accidentally.
3. Calibrating the compass by spinning it around using your method is not necessary. The magnetometer is just looking for magnetic north. Spinning around in a 3 foot radius will have no effect on the magnetic North Pole of the earth.
redline870 The foam balls do interfere with radio...I have to disagree with you on that. That is why DJI states not to cover them up. And to calibrate the compass, it is more accurate with a smaller radius..tests have been made to justify...The same reason why you can't calibrate a compass walking around a big circle. I am good friends with many RC shop owners and pilots for American Airlines that have given me this info :) High quality magnets and motors DO NOT FAIL! Bearings can fail, but high quality motors are designed to withstand and cycle out heat.
MrJMMedia Are you saying that the magnetic field of the earth differs enough between two locations a few feet apart, to the extent that it makes any difference? If that was true, as soon as you flew the quad a short distance away from you, the calibration would be worthless. On the contrary, the whole point of using a compass in the first place depends on the assumption that the magnetic field is constant throughout the area it's flying. Since you have a compsci background, you might be interested in what the calibration is actually doing: www.camelsoftware.com/firetail/blog/uavs/3-axis-magnetometer-calibration-a-simple-technique-for-hard-soft-errors/
About the foam balls interfering with RF, did you notice the antennas are already encased in hard plastic? Have you heard of people having any problems flying foam planes with their antenna inside the fuselage? It only takes a quick google search eg. "styrofoam rf interference" to check these issues, I wish people making videos like this would do a little groundwork before spreading hearsay any further. For example the first result (for me at least) is a link to a paper which tested this ("Radio frequency propagation differences through various materials"), and found that the difference between styrofoam and air was practically within the statistical margin of error (chart on page 30), at least at about 1.9GHz which is fairly close to the 2.4GHz used by the Inspire. imo it would be better to educate newcomers about the effects of signal loss behind trees, buildings, hills etc.
Kudos for encouraging people to do a short hover test before flying further though, I don't see many RUclips videos saying that and I consider it essential. I also like to shake the quad around a bit during the hover test with some quick roll/pitch movements and some quick throttle bursts, just in case something is a bit loose etc, as you say you can often hear the sound change a bit if something is wrong. I would also suggest doing a quick return-to-home test from a short distance away too.
MrJMMedia Fact: Foam is RF transparent, simple as that. Unless you are using some metal infused foam, it is RF transparent.
Magnetic deviation/declination is why the compass needs to be calibrated every time you fly in different areas. Magnetic deviation/declination mainly effects large areas. Unless you are calibrating the compass right next to a gigantic magnet a 3 foot spin WILL NOT produce a less accurate calibration. Take a 25 cent compass and spin in a circle and tell me if it always points north. "Tests have been made to justify" is just hearsay unless you can show a test where it produces a less accurate calibration. Show me tests and I will publicly apologize for calling you out on this.
The misinformation reaches epic proportions when you say brushless motors "do not fail." BUSHLESS MOTORS CAN AND ABSOLUTELY DO FAIL! The magnets inside are glued to the bell, the wires are glued in place to separate them and keep them from shorting, and your saying this glue can not fail? Seriously? Heat and vibration will undoubtedly break down the glue and for that matter, the magnets. Ever heat a magnet up and see how well it works after? I rest my case. High quality motors do last longer but to say a brushless motor does not fail is complete misinformation.
I absolutely agree with you on all points. In addition a statement was made that "There are no moving parts in the motors." ummm....spinning, is moving.
love the Decal.
Good info!!!
Thanks you very much for the video! I also like the hummingbird in the background at 14:00. :D
Excellent ! :) Well done on your video! :) Greetings from Ireland ! :) I love flying my Q500 for some aerial footage! :) Thanks a million for sharing! :) Thumbs up from me! :)
Great information, new subscriber here and thanks for sharing.
Good video.
Hey Jose...love the video and was very informative....the most important info was learning how to calibrate the Inspire, the right way, before flying. With that, I want to ask you a question or two, or three......I've been watching a lot of RUclips videos about how the Inspire and the Phantom didn't land where they initially launched-some landed far off it takeoff point and some going in a near lake, river. Do you believe it failed to land exactly where it launched because they didn't calibrated their drone as you've demonstrated....meaning they calibrated their drone wrongfully?
Much appreciated!
Whats a good setting to set for my inspire1 if I plan on doing long range flights?
Great video, I am now a subscriber, can you tell me the exact name of the app to fly my Inspire 1, when I go to the play store to download the DJI Go app, there is always a problem with the installation, there always an error. Thanks
good video !
Hi Josh!
Are there specs from the manufacture about flying at Altitude or Above Sea Level (ASL)? I live in a region where our air is very thin and it can be difficult for non jet powered aircraft to fly especially on hot weather days. I'm curious to know how an Inspire will perform at 13,000 feet ASL. I am a licensed pilot, I have my private pilot rating and have done some work towards my Instrument rating as well. There are many common similarities between manned aircraft, and UAS, but there are some big differences too. I've been looking on RUclips to see if anyone has talked about flying at altitude, but haven't seen anything yet. Just curious, thanks for your time.

Hei from Norway! IT was a god video. I was out and fly my Inspire 1 today and ITS a fantastic machine. From before I fly Phantom 4 and DJI Spark. Inspire is in a own Clas. Quick and strong bird. ITS god that you exsplain what you have learn from your flight. I se the whoole video.
Like your decals( Shark) where can get them?
I have a stupid question, I have been looking for graphics to give me Inspire the old P51 Mustang look and have had no luck, you have a couple of the graphics that fit that look, mainly the teeth and Eyes, where did you Find them? I do not want any of the wraps I have seen but your Inspires look inspires me too bud you about where you found them, thank you for a great video!
eBay
Ok MRJMMedia I like this video about this tutorial but when you said that the motors wouldn't fail what did you mean about the computer or the E.P.C failing? Because my father and I have been wondering about our Drone because our front right motor failed and I start to wonder if there is something wrong with the alignment of the motor because I turned each motor like it would in flight but the front right felt different then the rest. Is there anything that you have to say about this or is there a way that we can get this repaired?!?
Hey Men, were do you find that Stickers... ;) Looks fine
i love the P-40 Warhawk teeth on that beast!
Thank You and subscribed :)
Did anybody see the hummingbird at 13:55 ??
Great vid - thanks for the info and links - we share the same interests so I'll be following!
Thank you so much! Stay tuned for the Mavic 2 Pro videos coming soon!
Thanks for the good advise !
Thats funny when you speak of 'stable and hoover'.. in the left corner (14:00) you can see a hummingbird checking your flowers ;)
I thought this was a great video! Nicely done. Thanks for taking the time to share it with us all.. I don't have an Inspire just yet but it's a very dangerous toy. I'm going to be very careful with mine and not disgrace us all. Greetings to you from Arizona.
Did you ever get an inspire? I just ordered one
Could you explain or show how to zoom with X5 dji inspire 1 pro ? Thank you
1. with the I-1 do you have to calibrate the compass to establish the RTH location...(every time) for example, the the mavic series this is not necessary. 2. Does the I-1 have an FPV camera pointing out front?
Had a quick question on the props ? Both white props are nice and tight but the red there is a very small amount of play and movement. ? Is this normal thanks.
hello josh i just got my v2.0 inpire 1 , amazing drone but i have question when dji says every 10 days drop your battery to 5% have 4 batteries and 3 of them are tb47 batteries and the last is the higher capacity one tb48 when it got to 10 i tried to lower quad and make it hover until it reaches 5% or bellow the quad just tried to go crazy and it went up down and then up again and lowering and raising the landing gear and thanks god i landed with no damage but is there any other way to do it safer and better ,, by the way i have dji phantom 4 aswell and i did that battery process absolutely fine but hell i dont wanna damage the inspire. ill be grate full if u give safer way to drain my battery to bellow 5% thank you.
Just take take the props off and turn it on. It won't hurt it.
useful !
thanks
Thanks
yup I see too lol beautiful hummingbird, we have them here in New Mexico but there back and green
I also have what he has inspire 1 too lol
Great video! Full of useful tips! Keep em coming :)
What is the max speed normal and sport if equipped?
Any chance you can talk about how electro magnetic fields affect the drone? Thank You
Thanks mate!
hello there, say would love to get the teeth and eyes would you please advise as to where to get them thank you...!!! ;-)
One more possible option for securing the props & motors would be nylock nuts. They are nuts that are have a built-in nylon liner that prevents backing off under vibration. Available at hardware stores and McMaster-Carr at mcmaster.com
Excellent & well thought out video
where can i find that shark teeth decal?
When someone starts out a video explaining their credentials its usually a give away that they dont know as much as they want you to think.
Case in point.
Still, he's correct in explaining. These video's are important for those who think that you can buy and directly fly quadcopters with complex electronics.
Styrofoam, is I believe, RF transparent… I'd be happy to be shown the error of my thinking.
Thanks, four of you are beautiful and much yearned for machine!
Chas
Is the DJI Inspire One still good in 2020
Notes on CSC.
It doesn't take 3 seconds to cut the motors. It takes less than a second.
This bit of misinformation has been passed around for a while and worried me that an emergency motor shutoff would take three seconds. It comes from a page in the manual which is a little ambiguous if not read carefully. It's throttle-down for three seconds whilst on the ground which kills the motors but this is described in the same paragraph as the CSC positions and it can be a little confusing.
This has been put to the test - CSC commanded motor shutdown in flight is nearly instantaneous.
Another point to note is that the CSC positions you describe are applicable to Mode 2 setup but if you assign a custom layout, these positions may not be applicable.
The CSC position is always "cross-controlled".
In other words, Full throttle down, full "backwards", full yaw (in one direction) and full roll (in the other).
This is not detailed in the manual. I discovered this by not being able to start my motors after assigning a custom RC layout until I realised that CSC is actually cross-controlled inputs, not simply just the position of the sticks shown in the manual and in your video.
Are you an electrical engineering or mechanical? Where did you go to school?
I run a small fan pointing at the power brick. (is battery operated & got it $1.00 at a dollar store) I noticed that it would get upwards to 150+ degrees on a charge of a battery!
nice work man keep that
Great info. Thanks
As a real world pilot that is spot on good advice for copter pilots. Just because you're not sat in the aircraft that's no reason to ignore flight safety.
Rotorhead99 I agree totally! But with a lot of people purchasing these with no experience, that's where the problem is. The quad fly's so easily that it gives false sense of control to the operator. If you had to recover from a glitch and switch to manual mode to clear the memory... they are done and so will anyone or anything that the quad hits. I fly the NAZA M V2 and had a fly away into a tree. Learned later if I had switched to manual then back I would have been fine.
+James Hatton Nice tip James, I hadn't known about that. I've not yet had a fly away but I guess its only a matter of time so nice to know that.
I like the hummingbird at 14:00 lol
covering the antenna with styrofoam will block the radio signal? I'm not so sure about that.
Hey bro I have no problem taking off but after I landed perfectly I can't shut down the motors. I've done everything I learned on RUclips and still won't shut down..I'm new at this please help
13:58 humming-bird on your right (our left) ??:)
HOLY SHIT DID ANYONE CATCH THE HUMMING BIRD at 13.58 to the left behind the white post!
that was cool thanks :-)
+JoeyseedENT lol thanks to your Bionic Eye I just saw it too
Does it have the no flight zone added in the update ?????
+Carlos Sanchez dji have added the no fly zones or geofencing as dji calls it in the latest update v1.5 25/11/15
One of the best informational Inspire1 videos yet. Well done. More should see this. You mentioned pre-flight checklists in the video, but I do not see them in the comments?
Where can you buy the sticker thats on his drone
eBay
I luv the face, when I order my Inspire (with X5 camera) I want to get a mouth sticker for mine. LOL
Hi Josh. ALL of this information that you present in your videos are good, relevant information, especially for those who are completely new to the drone community...and they are not engineers. As engineers, we are analytical by nature, with a certain discipline. So keep up the great info and even better, the production quality. As you mentioned above, a LOT of the folks on here 'misunderstand"... That sir, is not your fault, as you present in a good way.
I was cycling a battery yesterday and yes at 10% the bird shut off so I just left the battery on but couldn’t start the bird.
get a life people, its all for fun, get it? for fun. if a person wants to fly a drone, good for them but don't be a jerk with your comments. live and let live! enjoy your life with whatever makes you happy, who cares? ONLY jerks without life care.
It is a $4,000 piece of photography equipment. You are a moron.
I think one of the most common problems is the battery just falling to zero % and start landing on it's own I had this happen and it is not that uncommon to keep that from happening, if your batteries have been sitting for several days ALWAYS put it on the charger no matter what the % shows.
just found a dji inspire selling for 450 euro, i have baught it and its on its way. it is broken, the lift mechanism for the arms needs to be replaced.
Josh you made a comment that Motors never Fail, I disagree with you, having had a Tarot Hex crash due to exactly that, the Motor had seized during the first 10 seconds of flight which took out the ESC in the process, The Motor was sent back as they were very interested in it and it was replaced along with the other bits that suffered due to the crash.
one thing the book doesn't say is if you hold the left stick down in any position it will fall. issue in both book and simulator my 2 cents
It does not matter how big the circle you turn in is , compass is not gps
The so called emergency stop stick position is not for an emergency stop. It is to disarm the motors so accidental stick movement will not cause the props to spin while on the ground!
Great video! Just to clarify the calibrating process. When you're calibrating, you just need to turn it on its on axis horizontally and nose down, simple as that. And stay away from metal objects and stuff that emits radio waves. :)
PhotoJoeSweden Excellent tip
That is incorrect. What you are thinking of is the gyro and accelerometer which yes calibrate every time it is turned on. He is referring to calibrating the compass which absolutely should be done if you are flying in different areas. It takes an extra 30 seconds to make sure your $3000 aircraft can return to home should you need to use it.
redline870 Nope, not the IMU calibration. I was referring to the compass calibration, see page 49 and 50 in the manual.
I couple of things you forgot to mention:
1) Always do a range test before taking off. I know the quadcopter has a built in fail-safe that can trigger the RTL mode and make it fly back home. But its always good to test it before flying...
2) Never fly beyond line of sight
3) Never fly above 400 f/t
4) Never fly at night time.
Greyhat Infiltrator I have to disagree with number 4. As long as you stay in line of sight, night flying is fine, just make sure your lighting works properly on the aircraft and make sure you aren't flying around obstacles. The 400 foot rule is mentioned in my other Inspire 1 video and should have been mentioned here as well. Thank you for your input!
I disagree with #4. I can see my craft better at night than daytime line of site. The lights make it easier to differentiate between front and rear. Just make sure your up at about 200' or higher, above power lines and trees. It's pretty safe if you use common sense.
MrJMMedia Flying at night time, its not the same as flying during day time. Its requires more concentration to fly, and not to mention its very easy for someone who is new in the hobby to lose orientation of the aircraft. Night flight should only be attempted, once you have logged more hours behind the controls. Night flight its not something that I would recommend unless you are an experienced flyer.
+TheGray Aviator I somehow agree with both points of view. It's true, the I1 is much easier to see at night. But almost everything else isn't. Furthermore, it is much harder to judge heading of the I1 and its position relative to other objects. You might think your heading is parallel to a wall when it's actually 5° towards it. Realising that you are getting closer to that wall while flying forward can be quite tricky. It is much easier to put the I1 in a tree or some power lines at nighttime. However, in known environments, I don't see a problem with flying at night. Just avoid any low flying or anything close to obstacles.
Manuel Its best to leave night flying, when you are more of a competent/experienced flyer... That's what I meant to say, in my previous post. Furthermore, I speak from experience, because that's how I lost my 1st Blade 350QX... If I hadn't been so stubborn like some novice users are, I would still have my Blade 350QX today.... Without experience you are doomed user, so its imperative to take baby steps and keep on learning... But I appreciate your comment.... Thanks....
So motors never fail !!!!!! meanwhile back in the real world
