The Inspire 2 is a big leap in cost over the Inspire 1, P4P etc and with the X5S can be a big leap in quality if using the right lenses (olympus 17, 25mm etc). There is a bit of a learning curve in particular around balancing the lenses, although once you have the right balancing rights and filters it is easy enough. I ended up 3D printing balancing rings to use with filters as often the DJI balancing rings were either too heavy or too heavy when used with a filter. And ND filters you will want to use as you will want to get your shutter speed to 2x your FPS for video.
As for redundancy, it is better to have some than none (battery, IMU etc) but of course you have no motor/prop redundancy so that is still an area that could cause your expensive investment to come tumbling to the ground.
There is increased set up time for the Inspire 2 over Phantoms/Mavics, but once airborne it an absolute pleasure to fly. I wouldn't go expecting much additional flight time either, as mentioned above, with the X5S you will likely get around 20 minutes. But what a 20 minutes :-)
Only you can justify the cost of investment vs what you are likely to get back (via work, or simply your own enjoyment from it). |
