The DJI Inspire 1 PRO is the most advanced camera drone offered by DJI and is one of the best values on the market today.
By integrating a Micro Four Thirds CMOS sensor capable of recording video in 4K combined with a 15mm f/1.7 lens, the DJI Inspire 1 PRO can capture incredible aerial video footage. The lens is interchangeable, allowing greater creative freedom. The gimbal stabilized camera system provides rock-solid, crystal clear footage.The 3-axis gimbal keeps the camera pointed at the subject as the aircraft banks and turns.In flight, the arms retract upwards to provide an unobstructed 360 degree view of the subject.
The camera system records high definition 4K video with the internal micro SDHC memory card while transmitting live video to the ground via a 720p video stream which can be viewed with an iPhone or Android mobile device using the DJI GO app. This package comes with a single transmitter (radio controller) so the operator can pilot the aircraft and record video at the same time. The aircraft can be upgraded with a second transmitter to allow a dual operator setup, allowing a camera operator to control the video and gimbal system independently of the pilot, perfect for high-end video production crews. Each operator can view the action on their own mobile device, allowing for super smooth results.
The Inspire 1 uses GPS and vision positioning stabilization systems to help the pilot hold aircraft position. These system make the Inspire 1 one of the easiest multirotor systems to fly. To make things even easier, the Inspire 1 will fly home in the event of a loss of signal or by the press of a 'go-home' button. The DJI GO application even has semi-automated flight modes, enabled through the app, that can help make flying even easier. There is also an "indoor" mode which relies on Vision Position technology - combining optical flow with ultrasonics - to provide stability indoors or in other contexts where GPS is unavailable (Note: certain features will be unavailable in indoor mode).
The DJI Inspire 1 Pro comes with everything you need to start flying. The aircraft, a single transmitter, a 4,500mAh battery, and charger are included in the package and even includes a handy carrying case to make it as easy to transport to your flying site.
Sporting a Micro Four Thirds CMOS sensor, the Inspire 1 PRO introduces mirrorless camera performance to the Inspire series. The featuring a standard MFT mount, the Zenmuse X5 camera includes the Panasonic Lumix 15mm f/1.7 lens, and also works with the separately available Olympus M. ED 12mm f/2.0 lens
The Zenmuse X5 is able to capture video at up to DCI 4K 4096 x 2160 at 23.98p or UHD 4K at 29.97p
Not just for video, the Zenmuse X5 can snap still from the air at up to 16MP resolution. In addition to single-shot, the camera support busts of 3, 5, or 7 frames and can take time-lapse at stepped intervals of between three and 60 seconds.
The Zenmuse X5 camera is mounted via an integrated 3-axis gimbal which uses brushless servo motors to keep the shot stable and the horizon level. The camera pans a full 360-degrees so that no matter which way the quadcopter turns, the camera can remain locked on the subject. Manual panning and tilting can be affected using controls on the transmitter
A real-time feed from the Zenmuse X5 camera can be displayed in 720p HD on a mobile device or HDMI monitor, making this it a great choice for FPV (first-person view) flying as well as enabling videographers and photographers to monitor framing from the ground. This is made possible by the inclusion of the DJI Lightbridge system within the flight electronics, which features a range of up to 1.2 miles For connecting an FPV monitor or glasses there is an HDMI port on the transmitter. Plus there is a USB port to keep you mobile device's battery topped up. And included mount allows you to attach a smartphone or tablet directly to the transmitter
The Zenmuse X5 gimbal and camera assembly can be removed from the Inspire 1 for safe transport and future upgrades
The prop arms rest in a lowered position when the Inspire is on the ground, acting as landing gear. Once in the air, they can be retracted to give the camera unobstructed views across 360-degrees. Carbon fiber is used in the construction because of its high strength to weight ratio
Not only does it give the Inspire 1 a sleek look, the aerodynamic airframe helps reduce resistance for better performance and increased battery life
DJI's Optical Flow technology uses a specially designed camera as well as sonic waves to provide the same stability function indoors as GPS does outdoors. This technology allows the Inspire to hold its location, stop when the controls are released, and quickly respond to pilot commands even when GPS is unavailable
Everything from manual camera controls to flight telemetry - even auto takeoff and landing - can be accessed via the Inspire 1 Mobile app. It is also possible to create autopilot courses using waypoints, just as you would on the DJI iPad Ground Station System
Note: The tablet must be connected to the transmitter via USB, and to use the waypoint map an Internet connection is required
Change all of your camera settings, including ISO, White Balance, Exposure, and more on the fly ensuring every shot looks exactly the way you want
See precisely where your Inspire 1 is at all times on the live map. The map can be enlarged when needed, and shows your most recent flight path
When GPS signal is available on the transmitter (remote control), the Home Point automatically refreshes. This becomes useful while traveling in a car or on a boat allowing the return-to-home point to move where the operator goes. Multiple configurations are available via the Dynamic Home Point function
Takeoff and landing are available with just a tap. Tap once to takeoff and your Inspire 1 will hover and transform, ready to start filming. Then tap again to make it transform into landing mode and auto land
Put yourself in charge by tailoring the Inspire 1's controls to your personal needs. This way, your Inspire 1 moves and responds in ways you're most comfortable with
Take control of your Inspire 1 in the air with a dedicated transmitter (radio controller) designed specifically for it. Operating on 2.4 GHz, it features dedicated buttons for photo and video capture, a gimbal control dial, and more. It includes an integrated 6000mAh rechargeable battery
For an even greater level of precision, use a second transmitter and fly with a friend. With two people controlling the same quadcopter, one person pilots the flight path while the other aims the gimbal and camera. Each user can have their own screen to see exactly what is being shot in real-time
The flight battery constantly supplies the flight computer with remaining voltage. Using special algorithms the computer supplies the pilot with estimates of remaining flying distance and time to return home
The battery tracks the voltage of each cell, the total number of charges and discharges, and the overall health and battery status
