DJI Inspire 2 £3,059/$3,499
Weight: 4000g | Dimensions: 605mm diagonal | Controller: Yes | Video resolution: 5.2K 24fps | Camera resolution: 20.8MP | Battery life: 23-27 minutes (4,280mAh dual battery) | Max range: 7km/4.1mi | Max speed: 94kph/58mph
The Inspire 1 brought with it a jaw-out of most shots while allowing for a big, stable shooting platform. The Inspire 2 cements that professional quality with a magnesium hull and lots of dual redundancy for safer flight.
One of these built-in precautions is the battery, or rather batteries. You need two to fly the drone, and they buy you about 25 minutes of flight time depending on the camera you choose. That’s great, but a spare pair is an eye-watering £360.
The Inspire 2 can be specced with several different cameras. The Standard model gets DJI’s Zenmuse X4S camera, comparable to the Phantom 4 Pro’s.
