I own an Inspire 1, which I loved, but I hit a wire and let it sit since Nov 2016.  It has a broken camera Gimbal mount, and a broken landing strut, in multiple places.

My questions are:
1) Is it worth fixing this one, or should I just buy an Inspire v2?  Is it significantly better?
2) Can I fix the gimbal, or does the camera need to be replaced?  I was pricing the camera I believe is about $900 for the whole thing.
3) I know I can fix the landing strut for about $100 ish and my time.  

What's the best method?

Also, if I decide to fix it, I don't know exactly what other problems exist.  Its like fixing up an old car.

Inspire 2 IS significantly better, therefore significantly more expensive.

I think he was talking about the V2  rather than  the Inspire2, in  which case the V2 is  not  that  much of  an upgrade (slight  upgrade to the  motors/esc).

Tough one  to  call.

Thank y’all for the information. I’m leaning towards getting the inspire 2.  Now I’m reading what’s new with it.

Massive upgrade with a price tag to match.
