What I’m going to review is DJI Inspire 1, the most advanced all-in-one and all-inclusive equipment featuring light weight, flexibility as well as great stability. All of the latest aerial technology is packed into one simple, ready-to-fly system. If you’re looking for something really capable, please keep reading!

Different from previous DJI products, this time DJI Inspire 1 utilizes transformable carbon fiber arms. When taking off, the two arms will automatically change into “V” body, which results in 360º unobstructed photography. When it’s ready to land, the quadcopter will automatically lower its arms into inverted “V” body as well, just working as the landing gear to protect downward-facing camera.

With GPS module, DJI Inspire 1 can undoubtedly provide accurate and precise position hold. However, sometimes GPS function could be not available like flying indoor. Well, DJI’s Optical Flow technology uses a specially designed camera as well as sonic waves to provide the same stability indoors as GPS does outdoors. This technology allows to hold its location and it will stop when the control is released.

What’s more, DJI Inspire 1 employs camera allowing to shoot 4K video at 24p and 30p and HD video frame rates from 24p to 60p, featuring a 1/2.3″ CMOS sensor with a 94-degree FOV lens. And the field of view works out about 20mm in 35mm equivalent, which gives you wide but not extremely wide or fisheye framing. Besides, you can change all camera settings, including ISO, white balance, exposure, etc.

Additionally, DJI Inspire 1 provides hobbyists with an intelligent transmitter featuring telemetry function. And the transmitter comes with an removable LCD monitor which allows to be folded. Integrated with light-bridge system, the transmitter allows you to real-time enjoy 1080p video at the distance over one mile. The video and picture you take can be stored, convenient for you to replay when photographing is finished.

It’s better for you to control DJI Inspire 1 with your friend, cause it actually supports dual transmitters. When making professional photography, you really need someone help to handle some details. One pilot may control the flight path while the other aims the gimbal and camera. Each user can respectively monitor what is real-time being shot.
