DJI Inspire 1 V2 Quadcopter with 4K Camera Price & Specs

This camera can capture video up to 4k and the still picture of 12 megapixels from the air.  In order to fix the landing gear design of previous quadcopters the inspire 1 has a retractable arm system where each side has a prop motor that lowers the foot while landing. At the time of flight, the camera provides an unobstructed 360degree view.  The 3 axis gimbal helps in taking steady shots and the camera is pointed in the same direction as the camera banks and turns.  The recorded file is collected on a micro SD  memory card. You can also get the live stream in 720 p  on any mobile device that is running DJI Lightbridge app or you can also see it on monitor or FPV glasses using an HDMI cable. Two transmitters are usually added so one transmitter act as a pilot and other for changing direction.

Usually, multi-rotor system relies on GPS based stabilization system.  This is very suitable at the time of high wind pressure thus it can hold the position any time when experiencing the high wind speed. This GPS-based system also directs the pilot to the home in the case of signal loss.  There are so many other flight modes that can be enabled using the mobile app.  There is also an indoor model that is dependent on optical flow technology.  As GPS is usually not available indoors thus optical flow technology is used in this mode. 

The package of the inspire 1 includes the gimbal and the camera, flight battery, transmitter, battery charger, tablet holder, for storing and transporting aircraft, spare flight batteries, and more. 

What Ready to Fly means:

Inspire 1 is transported in ready-to-fly mode. It comes with a pre-bound transmitter thus there is no major assembly is required.  It means there isn’t any kind of soldering is needed for setting up the quadcopter. It is recommended to ensure all the proper calibration settings before the first flight.

4k and HD Video Capture:

This inspires 1 camera can capture 4k video with the resolution of 24p and 30p. It can also shoot HD quality video with a resolution of 24p to 60p. It also features a 1/2.3” CMOS sensor and a beautiful 94-degree field of view. This FOV works out equivalent to 20mm to 35mm, this gives you a wide view but it’s not extremely wide or fisheye framing. This FOV features less distortion in the taken picture.

3-Axis Gimbal:

The camera is mounted through 3 axis gimbal, it uses a brushless servo motor in order to keep the shot more stable. The camera pans allow full 360-degree movement thus it does not matter which way the quadcopter is moving, the camera will remain lock to the subject.  Manually panning and tilting can be changed using the controls of the transmitter.

LiveHD View:

You can get the real-time live video from inspiring 1 camera in 720p  on an HDMI monitor or on a mobile device. This feature makes it a great choice for First-person view as it enables videographers and photographers to take video from the ground.  This gets only possible due to the DJI Lightbridge system included in the flight electronics. This enables the range of 1.2 miles. 

If you want to connect an FPV monitor or HDMI glasses then there is an HDMI port on the transmitter, another USB port is also given with it for charging the mobile device.  Another mount is included with this camera through which you can attach smartphone or tablet directly to the camera.

Modular Gimbal and Camera:

Another important feature about the inspire 1’s gimbal is that it is removed able and you can easily remove it from aircraft at any time. This feature allows you to upgrade the gimbal in the future as well.

Retractable Carbon Fiber Arms:                         

The carbon fiber arms are in the rest position when the quadcopter landed on the ground, which acts as landing gear.  Once it is in the air these landing gears are taken up then an unobstructed view around 360 degrees is provided to the camera.  Carbon fiber is used as it has high strength.

Aerodynamic design:

The inspire 1 has a very beautiful aerodynamic design which provides it a sleek look.  This aerodynamic airframe helps in reducing the resistance of air.

Fly indoor without GPS:

This DJI Inspire 1  quadcopter camera has optical flow technology that allows it to move indoors.  The sonic waves provide the same stability function as provided by GPS outdoor.  This sonic wave technology allows it to hold in location.
