DJI Inspire 2 Quadcopter with Apple ProRes License

DJI’s magnesium-aluminum-clad Inspire 2 Quadcopter is an effective cinematic and photographic tool. Combining the Inspire 2 with the separately available X4S and X5S gimbal cameras yields cinema-grade images, which can be recorded at high bit rates using H.264 and H.265 formats, or, in the case of the X5R, various flavors of Apple ProRes. It can also record CinemaDNG raw using the required license available from DJI. All the recording functionality is processed by the Inspire 2’s CineCore 2.0 image processing engine.

With ability to accelerate to 50 mph in 4 sec and reach a top speed of 58 mph, the Inspire 2 can follow fast-moving subjects for dramatic sports and action footage. With the two included LiPo batteries onboard, up to 27 minutes of flight time can be acheived on a full charge. The Inspire 2 also supports obstacle avoidance.

Built into DJI’s FlightAutonomy system, objects in front of, below, and above the quadcopter can be detected and avoided automatically. The Inspire 2 can even remember flight paths in case of an emergency return-to-home without GPS enabled. Using the onboard 2-axis stabilized FPV camera, the pilot can navigate the Inspire 2 without being limited to the gimbal camera’s field-of-view.

The Inspire 2 package comes with a charger, a transmitter controller, extra propellers, a calibration plate, and a carrying case.

Inspire 2 Quadcopter
Advanced Obstacle Sensing
Forward and downward vision systems enable the Inspire 2 to detect obstacles up to 98.4′ ahead, allowing for protected flight at up to 34 mph at a controllable attitude angle of 25°. Upward-facing infrared sensors scan obstacles 16′ above, adding protection when flying in enclosed spaces. Obstacle-sensing systems are active during normal flight, RTH, and all Intelligent Flight Modes.
Spotlight Pro
Spotlight Pro is a tracking mode that allows even single pilots to capture complex, dramatic images. It uses visual-tracking algorithms to lock onto a subject during flight, regardless of the direction that the Inspire 2 flies, creating shots that would once have required a dedicated camera operator. If the gimbal comes close to reaching its rotation limits, the Inspire 2 itself will rotate in the same direction without affecting flight control or the shot being captured to free up gimbal movement.

Spotlight Pro has two shooting modes: Quick Mode and Composition Mode. In Quick Mode, select an object to begin tracking. In Composition Mode, select the subject and the tracking position. When the subject enters the preset tracking position, press the shortcut to begin tracking. The gimbal can be moved during shooting for composition adjustments. Spotlight Pro is available in all Intelligent Flight Modes including ActiveTrack, TapFly, Waypoint and Point of Interest.
TapFly
The 2-axis onboard FPV camera separates the flight view from the main camera view, effectively giving the Inspire 2 a dedicated “tap-to-fly” camera. Tap a point onscreen in the FPV view to set a flight route and the Inspire 2 will automatically fly along that route, leaving the pilot to focus on gimbal movement.
ActiveTrack
The ActiveTrack Mode allows the Inspire 2 to recognize a range of objects, from people to bikes to cars to boats. Tracking profiles that can be adjusted based on the subject being tracked means improved tracking precision.
Smart Return Home
Forward and downward vision systems allow the Inspire 2 to create a real-time map of its flight route as it flies. If the video transmission system signal is lost and Smart Return Home is enabled, it is able to fly home along its original route and change to a straight line when it regains a signal. As it returns, it will use the primary camera to identify obstacles as far as 656′ in front, allowing it to plan a safe route home. It is can also reconnect more quickly after losing connection.
Video Transmission System
The Inspire 2 features DJI’s Lightbridge technology. This iteration has an effective transmission distance of up to 4.3 miles (under ideal conditions) and is capable of delivering both 1080p/720p videos as well as the FPV view to pilot and camera operator. Users can also switch between 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz control frequencies to avoid interference for improved signal stability.

Master and Slave setups are also supported. The master controller can transmit a HD video signal to the slave controller up to 300′ away without image quality loss.
Broadcast Mode
Broadcasters can broadcast direct from the Inspire 2 using its dedicated 1080i50 and 720p60 transmission signal. Aerial live-streaming direct to TV is as simple as connecting the Inspire 2 transmitter to a satellite truck.
Flight Performance
The propulsion system can thrust the Inspire 2 up to 58 mph and allows for descents at up to 29 ft/sec and ascents at up to 19 ft/s. It can accelerate from 0 to 50 mph in just four seconds and flies at a max attitude angle of 40°. The two controller sticks on the transmitter are tuned for more sensitivity, making delicate maneuvers easier.
Dual Battery Design
Dual batteries mean that, if a problem occurs on one battery, the other is able to continue flight long enough for a safe landing. At the same time, the Inspire 2 propulsion system is driven by a PWM signal with serial port signal redundancy so that if PWM signals are lost, transmission will continue through the serial port.
