DJI Inspire 2

If money is no object, the DJI Inspire 2 is the best drone you can buy, delivering Raw video capture at 5.2K quality, superb build quality, and top-end performance.

Angle

The Inspire 2 is a major upgrade to DJI's first Inspire drone.

Front

We reviewed the Inspire 2 with the Zenmuse X5S Micro Four Thirds camera, but you can opt for the less expensive 1-inch X4S.

Rear

There are two batteries, so you can land the drone in the event that there is an issue with one.

Profile

The Inspire 2's body is a mix of magnesium alloy and carbon fiber.

Top

The power button, battery life indicator, battery eject button, and IR sensors sit atop the drone.

FPV Camera

The forward-facing camera (so the pilot can see where the drone is flying when a dedicated camera operator is on hand) is flanked by obstacle avoidance sensors.

Zenmuse X5S

The X5S is shown here with the included 15mm f/1.7 lens.

Carbon Fiber Landing Gear

The adjustable landing gear is fabricated from carbon fiber.

Downward Sensors

Down-facing sensors help to steady the drone when flying indoors without GPS stabilization.

Propellers

Rotors twist and lock in place and are marked with red or white dots so you know which motor on which to mount them.

Remote Control

The remote has a clip to hold your smartphone or tablet.

HDMI Output

The remote control has a USB connection for your smartphone, as well as an HDMI output for live broadcast.
