Hi @altitude58,

Thank you for your inquiry. I’ve listed your concerns below, and we’ll try to cover the basics first.

  1. No images were taken -
    I was able to check your flight logs and saw that we received an error when trying to take a test photo during the checklist. Could you confirm that you are using a class 10 memory card? We also recommend formatting the memory with the DJI Go app.

  2. Inspire hovers during flight -
    We see this issue when the GPS signal is very low. The DJI SDK has a failsafe to hover when it runs into the scenario for safety reasons. I did check some of your flight logs where I saw a weak GPS signal.
    Do you run into this issue anywhere or only specific area?

  3. Inspire not taken off on 3rd battery swap -
    Do you have the time and date of when this issue occurred? I can then look at the logs to see why your Inspire was not taking off.

Hey Nipul,

Thanks for getting back to me. I changed the SD card to a u3 and wiped the tablet to just install DD and DJI GO. Have flown successful flights today! But i need your help with something. I flew the same mission that i flew 2 years ago. But the image capture is a HUGE difference in number of images. I have gone into the previous mission but can not find the settings for what the previous overlap etc were. Can you find this out for me as its take x3 /x4 amount more this time and I dont think i need it. Otherwise could you look at todays mission and see what overlaps i could use as i think the set 65/75 is high)

Thanks!

Hi @altitude58,

I’m glad to hear that you had successful flights!

I can recommend copying your original flight which should give you the same settings.
You could send me the name of the old and new mission, and I can also take a look into both.
