DJI’s new Inspire 3 camera drone is designed for professional moviemakers who want a powerful machine capable of nailing the best shots.
DJI has just unveiled its most advanced camera drone to date, but its hefty $16,500 price tag suggests it’s not for the everyday user.
Indeed, the new Inspire 3 is designed for professional moviemakers who want a powerful machine capable of nailing the best shots.
An update of the Inspire 2 that launched in 2016, the Inspire 3 sports a new streamlined design that offers improved mobility for complex maneuvers.
To help with flights in tricky locations, DJI has equipped the Inspire 3 with nine sensors that can detect obstacles in all directions, giving pilots the best chance of a safe flight.
The machine can zip along at 58 mph (94 kph) and fly for up to 28 minutes on a single charge, five minutes longer than the Inspire 2.
A neat feature for filmmakers is the new Waypoint Pro intelligent flight mode that includes the 3D Dolly option. This lets you set a flight path for the drone to take repeatedly, with the pilot controlling the drone’s back and forth maneuvers with a simple push and pull of the joystick.
