With the Inspire 2 Standard Kit with Zenmuse X7 Gimbal & 16mm/2.8 ASPH ND Lens from DJI, you get a complete aerial imaging solution right out of the box. The Zenmuse X7 gimbal offers 3-axis stabilization while its camera captures footage at up to 6K resolution at either 17:9 or 16:9 aspect ratios. In addition to 6K, the camera can record DCI 4K at 30 fps, and UHD 4K at a smoother 60 fps. For still image shooting, hi-res 24MP pictures can be taken, and all your aerial footage can be saved on optional microSD or DJI CINESSD drives. The addition of the 16mm ASPH ND lens delivers an open f/2.8 aperture to accommodate for low-light conditions, or to reduce depth of field for an augmented bokeh effect.

Not all the power to be found in the Inspire 2 is in the recording functionality. DJI beefed up the flight capabilities of the Inspire 2. Able to accelerate to 50 mph in 4 seconds and reach a top speed of 58 mph, the Inspire 2 can follow fast-moving subjects for dramatic sports and action footage. The flight prowess of the Inspire 2 doesn’t come at the expense of battery life. With the two included LiPo batteries onboard, up to 27 minutes of flight time can be had on a full charge.

Advanced obstacle avoidance has also made its way to the Inspire 2. 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. What’s more, 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.
