DJI Inspire 1 (Fully Updated)

This is an Inspire drone that I recently posted with controller connection issues and depleted batteries. Looking around for information as too why the remotes weren't pairing or communicating with any connected devices using the app, I managed to find some useful instructions that required some soldering and programming knowledge. Lucky for me I know enough to take on the task and got busy, to keep it short, I was able to TTL - command prompt the firmware to the remote processor and get it to work, had to update it twice to the latest firmware with success, now it connects to the Inspire with video and full control of all settings and features, AWESOME! Right away I got busy on the other remote, so the drone and remotes are properly paired and ready to go, wasn't easy. This is where my confidence got the better of me, right after balancing a battery on the balance charger the battery showed 100% and looked to be good. On the display the cells showed just about even and the percentage was at 98%, good to go. I did a calibration and checked the IMU, all with the green light, no errors, drone was ready too fly... or so it seemed. The final stage of my testing, I wanted to hover the drone and see how the cells and GPS hold up, I wasn't planning on flying high or far... just a hover... as soon as I started the motors, the GPS locked on with 15 satellites connected, I gently pushed up to launch it off the ground, about 3 feet hover, automatically the camera lowered without me triggering it, impressive I thought, all this time working on it I finally got it airborne... mission accomplish... shortly lived. No more than a minute off the ground the joy went too horror when it lost complete power while hovering, camera lowered and all... what happen made me think about my drone experience long and hard, never did i have a critical power failure as I did, all without warning, terrible, the fall (3ft of the ground) slammed on the camera knocking it off and cracking the housing, more damage to my confidence then the Inspire , no damage too the drone... my luck! The picture shows the connection and camera view, camera still works, the gimbal will need repair. all in all, it was a learning experience, I know I can make it better if I continued, I'm just tired of the trouble shooting, this drone has tested my patience too the max. I did all the hard work, all that is needed is new (fully reliable) batteries and a little work on the gimbal and you'll have a wonderful Inspire drone you'll enjoy for many years to come. You're welcome to test it with a good battery before purchasing, both remotes are paired (master and slave) too the drone, ready to fly. Comes with OEM power adapter, extra props, one UV lens, remote shoulder strap, extra parts for the gimbal. two USB to Micro USB wires, flat head tool for the tablet holder, original owners manual and case. Make an offer, I'm willing to negotiate, everything is sold as a kit, not separating anything.
