DJI Inspire 3 Combo with X9

Improving upon many aspects of the Inspire 2, the DJI Inspire 3 Drone keeps up with the advancements and needs of professional drone operators. Film and television producers will enjoy stunning aerial footage quality with the X9-8K Air, an 8K full-frame camera that's attached to a 3-axis gimbal. The gimbal sports an 80° upward tilt boost and a 360° pan for dramatic results. In addition, a new 1/1.8" FPV camera with double the DFOV of the Inspire 2 delivers a bird's eye view of the action. Industrial pilots will enjoy the Inspire 3's ability to map terrain with RTK centimeter-level accuracy. All this and more can be done repeatedly with intelligent tracking modes and safely with a customizable obstacle avoidance system.

8K X9-8K Air Gimbal

The heart of the Inspire 3 is the custom-built X9-8K Air gimbal that uses CineCore 3.0, DJI's latest image processing system to internally record up to 8K25 CinemaDNG video or 8K75 Apple ProRes RAW video (both requiring RAW License Key, sold separately). The footage retains a lifelike texture that's close to what the human eye can see, allowing enough space to add visual effects and color grading. Complex lighting sources are supported with 14+ stops of dynamic range and the use of the DJI cinema Color System authenticity in recording everything from urban landscapes to a variety of skin tones. Additional features include:

• 8K75 Apple ProRes RAW video
• S&Q Mode: Up to full-frame 4K120 ProRes RAW without cropping
• Dual Native ISO at full-frame 30 fps and below
• EI 800/4000 at 24 fps for film production
• EI 320/1600 above 30 fps for commercial and TV production
• 14+ stops of dynamic range for capturing rich highlights and shadow in complex lighting scenarios and allowing for more possibilities during editing
• DJI Cinema Color System (DCCS): An improved DCCS retains authentic colors across natural and urban settings and skin tones in various lighting, and it helps make color matching the X9-8K Air with ground-based cameras easier to achieve

Please note: While this drone is capable of shooting in CinemaDNG and Apple ProRes, a RAW License Key is required and sold separately by DJI.

Waypoint Pro

This feature encompasses a wide range of settings, including Repeatable Routes and 3D Dolly, allowing filmmakers to take advantage of RTK positioning to more easily replicate and capture highly complex scenes.

• Repeatable Routes: Have the Inspire 2 automatically fly the same route over and over while keeping all preset parameters, such as altitude, speed, gimbal angle, and camera settings. This helps perform difficult one-take shots and fly identical routes at different times of the day for transition shots.
• 3D Dolly: Simulate a crane, cable cam, or dolly shot with the added flexibility that aerial cinematography can provide. You can plan the dolly route and then move the Inspire 3 drone back and forth along it while adjusting speed, gimbal angle, and other parameters as needed.

Spotlight Pro

With improved machine-learning algorithms, the Inspire 3 can use Spotlight Pro to automate subject recognition and locking for both people and vehicles with increased accuracy. Choose from Follow or Free modes to capture the scene.

• Follow Mode: In this mode, the drone and gimbal lock onto a subject and orient toward it in the same direction, allowing for easier circling shots.
• Free Mode: Taking advantage of the gimbal's 360° pan ability, the gimbal can stay locked onto a subject while the pilot uses the FPV camera to check the surroundings and control the flight route.

FPV Camera

Doubling the DFOV of the Inspire 2 to 161°, the new 1/1.8" FPV camera lets pilots take in an ultra-wide first-person view of what the drone sees in flight. The camera supports the transmission of live feeds at 1080p60 and provides a large 3 μm pixel size. The larger pixels offer better light-sensing for improved night vision and safer low-light FPV flying.

Centimeter-Level RTK Positioning

Using RTK antennas built into the airframe, pilots can take advantage of centimeter-level accuracy usually utilized in architecture and surveying to use DJI Waypoint Pro to confidently fly complex routes repeatedly. The RTK antennas works with three types of GNSS (GPS, BeiDou, and Galileo) and dual-frequency positioning. Pilots can choose to activate an RTK Network, using the internet connection of the RC Plus to connect to an NTRIP server, or set up an optional D-RTK 2 Mobile Station without needing to install additional modules.

Omnidirectional Obstacle Avoidance

To help keep the Inspire 3 and bystanders safe during filming, DJI incorporates nine visual sensors to detect obstacles in all directions. This includes 360° horizontal, upward, and downward coverage, in addition to a depth-sensing downward ToF sensor. A fisheye camera is attached to each of the four landing arms. When they are raised, obstruction from the airframe can be avoided, and when lowered, you gain horizontal obstacle sensing.

A new feature offered by the Inspire 3 is the ability to customize obstacle avoidance. So, filmmakers can enable or disable horizontal, upward, or downward sensing independently. This allows pilots to fly closer to objects, performing complex and creative maneuvers without automated avoidance ruining the shot. You still get the ability to manually set a range, where the Inspire 3 will give you an audible alert sound if you get too close, and you'll always be able to see an object's distances on the controller's display.

O3 Pro

O3 Pro is a generational leap in distance, video latency, and stability compared to the Inspire 2. Using the DJI O3 Pro video transmission and control system, pilots of the Inspire 3 can enjoy a maximum control distance of 9.3 miles in single-control mode or up to 7.5 miles in dual-control mode. Both the 8K gimbal and FPV can provide live feeds of 1080p90 at a low 90 ms latency, and for the first time, filmmakers can have live feeds at 4K30 or 1080p60 at up to 3.1 miles.

Expandable DJI PRO Ecosystem

Even with the DJI Inspire 3's impressive cinematic capabilities, pilots and gimbal operators can expand the drone's performance even more with optional DL Mount lenses and DJI PRO Ecosystem accessories and features.

• DJI High-Bright Remote Monitor can be used as a second controller to receive live feeds or control the gimbal and focus
• DJI Three-Channel Follow Focus uses the O3 Pro system with the High-Bright Remote Monitor to transmit control signals to the Inspire 3. This allows the focus puller to accurately achieve remote focus and stepless aperture adjustments
• DJI Master Wheels works with a High-Bright Remote Monitor to allow for gimbal control
• DJI Transmission supports unlimited remote monitors with the connection of the RC Plus to a DJI Video Transmitter with Broadcast mode
