Improving upon many aspects of the Inspire 2, the DJI Inspire 3 Drone keeps up with the advancements and needs of professional drone operators. Film and television producers will enjoy stunning aerial footage quality with the X9-8K Air, an 8K full-frame camera that’s attached to a 3-axis gimbal. The gimbal sports an 80° upward tilt boost and a 360° pan for dramatic results. In addition, a new 1/1.8″ FPV camera with double the DFOV of the Inspire 2 delivers a bird’s eye view of the action. Industrial pilots will enjoy the Inspire 3’s ability to map terrain with RTK centimeter-level accuracy. All this and more can be done repeatedly with intelligent tracking modes and safely with a customizable obstacle avoidance system.
The heart of the Inspire 3 is the custom-built X9-8K Air gimbal that uses CineCore 3.0, DJI’s latest image processing system to internally record up to 8K25 CinemaDNG video or 8K75 Apple ProRes RAW video (both requiring RAW License Key, sold separately). The footage retains a lifelike texture that’s close to what the human eye can see, allowing enough space to add visual effects and color grading. Complex lighting sources are supported with 14+ stops of dynamic range and the use of the DJI cinema Color System authenticity in recording everything from urban landscapes to a variety of skin tones. Additional features include:
Please note: While this drone is capable of shooting in CinemaDNG and Apple ProRes, a RAW License Key is required and sold separately by DJI.
This feature encompasses a wide range of settings, including Repeatable Routes and 3D Dolly, allowing filmmakers to take advantage of RTK positioning to more easily replicate and capture highly complex scenes.
With improved machine-learning algorithms, the Inspire 3 can use Spotlight Pro to automate subject recognition and locking for both people and vehicles with increased accuracy. Choose from Follow or Free modes to capture the scene.
To help keep the Inspire 3 and bystanders safe during filming, DJI incorporates nine visual sensors to detect obstacles in all directions. This includes 360° horizontal, upward, and downward coverage, in addition to a depth-sensing downward ToF sensor. A fisheye camera is attached to each of the four landing arms. When they are raised, obstruction from the airframe can be avoided, and when lowered, you gain horizontal obstacle sensing.
A new feature offered by the Inspire 3 is the ability to customize obstacle avoidance. So, filmmakers can enable or disable horizontal, upward, or downward sensing independently. This allows pilots to fly closer to objects, performing complex and creative maneuvers without automated avoidance ruining the shot. You still get the ability to manually set a range, where the Inspire 3 will give you an audible alert sound if you get too close, and you’ll always be able to see an object’s distances on the controller’s display.
Even with the DJI Inspire 3’s impressive cinematic capabilities, pilots and gimbal operators can expand the drone’s performance even more with optional DL Mount lenses and DJI PRO Ecosystem accessories and features.
In addition to classic piloting controls with integrated buttons and dials, the RC Plus’s 7″ display works with the DJI Pilot 2 app to add a live video feed and telemetry, such as camera exposure, video specs, focal length, and gimbal angle. The display provides 1200 nits of brightness, making it suitable for outdoor viewing.
To share the live video feed with others on set, you can use the built-in HDMI output to connect the controller to an optional monitor. It can run for up to 3.3 hours per battery charge and supports hot swapping to extend battery life. If you do fly for long periods, the included strap and waist support help to make piloting more comfortable.
Get the Inspire 3 and accessories safely to the set with the included trolly case. An extendable handle, two side handles, and four 360° wheels make transportation easy. Two numbered locks are included to safely secure the case’s contents. The case is designed to hold the following:
