What You Need to Know
Here's everything you need to know about these three awesome quadcopters:
DJI Inspire 2
The Inspire 2 is more powerful than its predecessor. It has a new magnesium-aluminium body which increases robustness while reducing weight. It has a top speed of 58mph (accelerating to 50mph in 5 secs), and its battery life is enough for 25mins of flight time. The Inspire 2 has a self-heating dual-battery system that can keep the drone flying even in frigid temperatures and can reach 16,400ft above sea level, although, there isn't much chance of that with current regulations.
What's most impressive though, is that the Inspire 2 is DJI's first drone to feature two cameras. There's the main camera for capturing footage, which is held underneath on a three-axis gimbal. The Inspire 2’s legs lift up just like the Inspire 1's, so they won’t get in the way of your footage, and it's free to rotate 360 degrees. In addition, there is also a front-mounted two-axis camera, allowing the pilot to always see where the drone is facing. The system is designed for dual operators: one to fly and one to frame the action, each with their own live video feed.
