![]() ![]() If you’re looking for a portable drone with professional video capabilities and a much more affordable price tag, then the DJI Mavic 3 is a great option. What’s more, excellent image quality and flight performance can be found in smaller, lighter, cheaper, and, ultimately, more convenient models. Professional drones, including the DJI Inspire 3, may offer the best features and image quality around, but you can still enjoy a highly capable drone in a much more user-friendly package. However, in our opinion, it offers more advanced features than most people would ever need or make use of. This is easily the most intuitive professional drone available. ![]() So, unless you’re a professional drone pilot with specific requirements, then this probably isn’t the drone for you.įor professional filmmakers and drone pilots working in inspections and surveying, the flight precision and features available alongside excellent image quality from the full-frame Zenmuse X9-8K Air Gimbal Camera with interchangeable lenses make it a compelling option. It’s certainly not the kind of drone you can throw in a backpack and carry around with you all day. Despite this, it’s fairly intuitive to use and also offers additional complexity for more advanced users. Should you buy the DJI Inspire 3?Ī large and heavy professional drone such as the Inspire 3 isn’t aimed at consumers. Plus, on top of that the Inspire 3 Raw License for CinemaDNG and Apple ProRes RAW codecs costs $979/£899, so this also needs to be considered if you intend to capture video in these formats. These lenses range from $1,199/£1,199 to $1,299/£1,299 so their cost will need to be factored in depending on your requirements. There are four prime lenses available for the Zenmuse X9-8K Air Gimbal Camera including the new DJI DL 18 mm F2.8 ASPH Lens, DJI DL 24mm F2.8 LS ASPH, DJI DL 35mm F2.8 LS ASPH, and DJI DL 50mm F2.8 LS ASPH. No lenses are included, so these need to be purchased separately. The Inspire 3 Combo kit costs $16,499/£13,419 and includes the DJI Inspire 3, Zenmuse X9-8K Air Gimbal Camera, RC Plus remote controller, 6x TB51 Intelligent Battery, Charging Hub, PROSSD 1TB, Trolley Case, 3x Foldable Quick-Release Propellers (Pair), Lens Carrying Box, RC Plus Strap, and other accessories. This is a high-spec professional drone with a price to match, so it will be out of reach for most consumers and even many professionals who are served well by mid-size prosumer models. Then there are 3D Dolly modes that can produce traditional camera movements such as dolly and crane but without the need for the hardware that’s traditionally required for these. ![]() Routes and camera/gimbal programs are repeatable so the same shots can be captured over and over again – ideal in filmmaking and surveying. But, Waypoint Pro provides precise route and shoot planning where the camera and gimbal can also be programmed or controlled manually while the Inspire completes the programmed route. In terms of flight features, there’s nothing like Quickshots (automated flight patterns for video) available. This makes the Inspire 3 incredibly safe regardless of whether obstacle avoidance is switched on or off. Plus, when obstacle avoidance is switched off, the pilot can still see the distance of obstacles on the controller screen, which is customizable depending on requirements, alongside an audio alert. Satellite positioning is provided by GPS, Galileo, and BeiDou, while the Omnidirectional Sensing System can detect obstacles in all directions and distances using six fisheye sensors, two wide-angle sensors, and one omnidirectional ToF sensing system, which offers customizable settings and is highly effective. This feature can also be adjusted manually during flight to take advantage of Tilt Boost 80-degree upward shooting with the landing gear down, and 360-degree Pan of the camera with the landing gear up. The main body has a locking gimbal attachment at the front and the landing gear rises and falls during take-off and landing. Including the gimbal camera and a lens, two batteries, a PROSSD, and propellers, the Inspire 3 weighs 140.91 oz/3,995 g which is heavy when compared to consumer drones, but, in reality, that’s considered lightweight for a professional model. And, unlike previous Inspire models, the new folding propellers can be left attached in the trolley case for convenience. This is a kind of folding mode where the drone uses a powered mechanism to flatten for transportation and storage after the camera and gimbal have been removed. The DJI Inspire 3 is a large and heavy drone compared to consumer models at 27.9 x 6.9 x 19.7 inches/709.8 x 176 x 500.5 mm in Travel Mode.
