Hi Tom,
Have loved my Inspire from day 1. Never had any problems or scary moments, other than a couple of close calls when I was first learning to fly. But those were just pilot challenges.
I think the Inspire is fantastic and can happily recommend it. Having said that it's important to know exactly what it's capable of and where its limitations lie.
There are pros and cons:
PROS
Turnkey solution
Retractable landing gear for 360° fiiming
Second remote for camera control
Easy to fly
Impressive 4k image
Portable and easy to get fantastic results with single pilot, no fuss
CONS
Expensive and time consuming to fix if you crash
Highly compressed H.264 means many shots are unusable professionally
So as long as it suits your needs I say go for it. I have had so much fun since getting it. Always been a dream of mine to do high quality aerial filming and this is the first time it's been practical.
For me I'm not interested in the top end, spending $10k to then put my $20k Epic camera on and hope I don't smash it.
The Inspire is a fantastic balance between quality, features, price, stability and everything else. I think they got it right. |
