We would use it on our Inspires but my question was more for our Altas and other HL rigs flying Dragon/Mini with video feed off Connex.

So, I finally bought it.
For now one of the worst decisions of 2016.
With fw 1.4 (the one it was shipped with) it was A JOKE.
Completely unusable, marks were off and no precise AT ALL (especially end stops).
I don't know how you guys can be happy with your units as far as precision go, you probably had very low expectations from this unit!
Also the hand controller is heavy as hell and I think its weight has been increased "artificially" to help it to be perceived as more expensive.
It makes no sense, it makes it quite uncomfortable to hold all day and quite unbalanced VS other units on the market.
But the worst thing is that to correct the problems with the end stops and marks (lack of) precision,
I then tried to update the firmware to 1.5 (you have to update 4 yes FOUR components in this system, absurd).
In this process the motor radio update failed (which is common apparently since in the manual describe the force upgrade procedure) and now it's not detected anymore.
Guess what...the force upgrade works only IF the component is detected, but it's not in my case so now I have a WIRED only FF since I can't upgrade the motor radio module.
I did the force upgrade on the motor fw itself to the 1.5 again but no luck, the motor radio is not detected by the update utility anymore, even after minutes of waiting.
Last thing...probably will not surprise some of you...DJI support is the shittiest I have ever dealt with, in my whole life, they simply cut&paste the manual without really helping at all.
I tried chat, email (EU), email (US), chat again with multiple different choices/areas with different operators, all the same.
So, for now, it definitely is NOT recommended.
Just save some $$$ and buy RTMotion (my primary system) or an Axis1. You'll never look back.
Anyone knows how to proceed or some direct contact to the support stuff??
Or maybe I'll just take it back to the reseller?

My motor just went dead. Turned on camera for next setup and nothing... had it about a month or so.
