DJI Inspire 3

DJI Inspire 3 is the ultimate in aerial cinematography, providing unprecedented workflow efficiency, camera control and creative freedom. This versatile 8K resolution camera drone allows professional-level filmmakers to unlock the full potential of any shot.

Elegant, integrated design
Inspire 3 is a professional camera drone with a new design that fully considers aerodynamics and reduces air resistance. The maximum dive speed has been increased from 9 m/s for Inspire 2 to 10 m/s, while the vertical climb and descent speed has been increased from 6 m/s and 4 m/s to 8 m/s. Excellent handling makes the controls responsive and precise, and flight time has been extended to 28 minutes. The FPV camera, camera sensors, positioning antennas and memory card slot are designed to fit perfectly into the drone's design. Inspire 3 features an all-new design that supports 360° rotation and tilt. When the landing gear is lowered, the gimbal supports 80° upward angle shooting, allowing videographers to capture impressive, innovative footage. Every detail of the Inspire 3, from the exterior design to the internal construction, has been carefully considered and optimized.

RTK positioning in centimetres
Inspire 3 features high-precision RTK positioning technology, used in industries such as architecture and surveying, to achieve accuracy in the centimetres. Compared to traditional one-metre positioning supported by global navigation satellite systems, RTK not only enables more stable flying but also more accurate flight path planning, greatly increasing design efficiency.

RTK's antennas have been incorporated into the drone's structure and feature a new ceramic design that enables three types of GNSS (GPS, BeiDou and Galileo) and allows positioning on two frequencies with accuracy in the centimetre range. By activating the RTK network or setting up a D-RTK 2 mobile station, users can achieve highly accurate positioning without the need to install additional modules.

Orientation by two antennas
Both the front and rear of Inspire 3 incorporate a ceramic antenna that is resistant to magnetic interference and enhances accuracy and flight safety.

Waypoint Pro
Designed specifically for aerial cinematography, Waypoint Pro allows you to plan flight paths and shots with a wide range of custom settings. Innovative shot capture is easily achieved with the new Repeatable Routes and 3D Dolly modes. In addition, RTK positioning with centimeter accuracy ensures more precise flight route planning and execution. Whether you're shooting alone or with a professional crew, Waypoint Pro can handle even very complex scenes.

Repeatable Routes
When using the Repeatable Routes feature, the drone will automatically fly the same route and maintain all preset parameters such as altitude, speed, gimbal angle and camera settings. Repeating the same aerial route allows videographers to effortlessly take challenging one-off shots or fly at different times in the same location to easily create long-form time-lapse footage that captures transitions, such as from day to night or season to season.

3D Dolly
Once a flight path has been planned, the cameraman can manually control the drone's movement back and forth along the route while adjusting parameters such as speed, gimbal angle, and more to suit the needs of the shot. This makes complex camera movements simpler and more efficient, and better shots can be achieved.

Spotlight Pro
Spotlight Pro, improved from Inspire 2, allows filmmakers more shooting options. Based on powerful machine algorithms, Inspire 3 supports automatic object recognition and lock-on for people, vehicles and boats with greater accuracy than previous versions. When using Spotlight Pro's Follow mode, the drone and gimbal camera are oriented in the same direction and remain locked onto the subject, so circular shots can be taken without the need for manual adjustments. In Free mode, the 360° rotating gimbal allows the gimbal camera to stay locked on the subject while the pilot can use the FPV camera to check the surroundings and control the flight path to better control complex camera movements.

All-directional sensing system
Inspire 3 is equipped with nine camera sensors that enable reliable all-directional sensing that can detect obstacles in all directions, providing comprehensive protection when flying. For the first time, a fisheye camera has been added to each of the four landing arms. This design helps to avoid obstacles at all times.

Customisable obstacle sensing
Inspire 3 also features a new customizable feature that helps ensure greater flight safety and more creative freedom. Horizontal, upward and downward obstacle sensing can be independently enabled or disabled, and the obstacle alert range can be manually adjusted to suit different situations.

When active avoidance is disabled, users can still monitor the distance to the obstacle on the navigation display in real-time and receive an audible alert when the obstacle is within the set range without the drone automatically avoiding itself. This brings new possibilities for professional aerial teams looking to achieve more challenging piloting.

FPV camera with exceptional night vision
Inspire 3 features a new FPV camera with a 1/1.8" sensor, 3 μm pixel size, 161° ultra-wide angle of view and the ability to transmit live streams up to 1080p/60 frames per second. Compared to its predecessor, the DFOV has approximately doubled. This FPV camera delivers a more impressive light amplification capability, allowing pilots to observe their surroundings vividly and clearly even at night, ensuring a higher level of flight safety.

Custom-built 8K sensor
The lightest full-frame three-axis gimbal camera to date, the DJI X9-8K Air is custom-built for the Inspire 3 to take drone filming to a whole new level. It features DJI's latest image processing system, CineCore 3.0, which supports internal CinemaDNG video recording up to 8K/25 fps, as well as Apple ProRes RAW 8K/75 fps video, meeting the needs of high-end film and TV productions. 8K means ultra-high resolution aerial footage that has a true-to-life texture close to what the human eye sees, and when displayed on larger screens, the sharpness is enough to amaze viewers. Thanks to the RAW format, the X9-8K Air's sensor is fully engaged and provides ample scope for visual effects and colour correction. In S&Q mode, the X9-8K Air supports internal recording of up to full-format ProRes RAW 4K/120 fps video without cropping, providing more creative editing options.

Dual Native ISO
The X9-8K Air offers dual native sensitivity. At frame rates of 30 fps and below, it offers ISO 800/4000. At frame rates above 30 fps, 320/1600 is available. As a result, the X9-8K Air can capture images with excellent detail and minimal noise, even in low-light urban or beach environments, putting it on par with professional land-based film cameras.

Dynamic range of 14+
The X9-8K Air covers over 14 EV of dynamic range, allowing you to capture rich details of highlights and shadows in complex lighting scenes such as sunrises and sunsets. The high dynamic range provides more options for post-processing and maintains authentic colors even after significant exposure adjustments.

DL bayonet lenses
The X9-8K Air is equipped with DJI's proprietary DL bayonet and is compatible with an additional 18mm f/2.8 ultra-wide angle lens and a new telephoto lens (to be introduced later) that complements the previous 24/35/50mm f/2.8 DL lenses. All five lenses are made specifically for aerial cinematography. The housings are made of carbon fibre, so the lightest lens weighs just 178g, making the drone extremely manoeuvrable.

DJI Cinema Color System (DCCS)
The DJI Cinema Color Management System allows the X9-8K Air to maintain completely authentic colors. This applies to both natural environments and urban landscapes, as well as accurately capturing skin tones in a variety of environments and lighting conditions. The DCCS system ensures seamless color matching between the X9-8K Air and ground-based film cameras such as the DJI Ronin 4D, providing a consistent color style from air to ground to meet post-production needs.

Multi-camera timecode synchronization
Through the 3.5mm port on the drone, you can sync timecode between devices in the air and on the ground. When working with large amounts of footage from multiple cameras, timecode synchronization greatly simplifies and streamlines the editing process.

DJI RC Plus
Inspire 3 comes with the DJI RC Plus professional remote control, which has a built-in 7" high-brightness 1200 nits screen and provides an exceptional outdoor shooting experience. It also features an HDMI output port and multiple buttons and dials on the front, back and top for quick and intuitive control. The button functions can also be customised to suit the user's habits for smoother operation.

The built-in RC Plus battery provides an operating time of approximately 3.3 hours, which extends to 6 hours with the external WB37 battery. It also supports changing batteries on the fly, increasing creation efficiency. In addition to the classic flight control interface, the new DJI Pilot 2 app for Inspire also brings a movie-level monitoring interface that makes it easy and convenient to control information such as camera exposure, video specs, focal length and gimbal angle. Professional accessories such as a strap and lumbar support are also included for more comfortable and efficient long-term use.

O3 Pro video transmission
The Inspire 3 features O3 Pro technology, DJI's latest cinematic-quality video transmission system that allows for a maximum transmission distance of 15 km in single control mode and 12 km in dual control mode. Both the gimbal and FPV camera support live streaming at 1080p/60 fps with a low latency of 90ms. Compared to the Lightbridge video transmission system of the Inspire 2, the O3 Pro has made a generational leap in transmission distance, latency and overall stability. For the first time, live streaming at 4K/30 fps with a maximum transmission distance of 5 km is also supported to meet the needs of monitoring and live streaming at UHD resolution during filming.

Independent dual control
Compared to the previous model, the Inspire 3's dual control has been significantly improved. Two remotes can receive live feeds and control the drone independently, so the pilot and gimbal operator can be in different locations for filming. This removes the Inspire 2's limitation of combining a primary and secondary controller. If the pilot loses the drone signal, the gimbal operator can now take control of the drone and safely return or land directly.

Dual battery system
Inspire 3 features the new TB51 dual battery system, which uses the latest battery chemistry technology to optimize reliability and performance. The TB51 batteries are smaller, lighter and have a higher voltage compared to the TB50. They provide a maximum flight time of 28 minutes and support on-the-fly replacement thanks to a newly designed battery release method that allows seamless continuous operation. If the battery temperature drops below 18°C, an automatic heating function is triggered to maintain sufficient flight performance even in locations with temperatures as low as -20°C.

New battery charging hub
The all-new foldable battery charging hub provides an optimal balance between charging efficiency and storage size. It fits eight batteries. In fast mode, it can charge two batteries to 90% in just 35 minutes and eight batteries to 100% in just 160 minutes. The included 65W USB-C port can also be used to charge the RC Plus.
