ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ส.ค. 2024
- How does the new DJI Inspire 3 compare to the Inspire 2? The comparison between these two drones is big and the upgrades on the Inspire 3 are massive BUT the inspire 2 still holds its ground in a few areas. We will compare image quality in video and photo modes of the Inspire 3 vs Inspire 2. and some of the biggest upgrades are in the flight handling, signal link and FPV camera feeds.

The Inspire 2 had SDK support with 3rd party apps like Litchi with a far more advanced Waypoint system that actually allowed you to plan perfect orbit missions and also visually see the curved route with full control over the curve degree, along with a plethera of other features and waypoint controls. The I3 lacks this.
True
I just bought litchi? 360 panos do not work for me! litchi does live stream to facebook!!
If inspire3 had functions of M30- 100 picture panos would make it a nobrainer purchase, but I think a M30 seems better?
I have a lot of hours on the I2 platform, and every issue you brought up is very real ... Having flown the I3 briefly and tested performance ... it is a massive upgrade.
agreed... but I am still a DJI shill according to some. 😂
Ok now send the inspire 2 and 3 to me, and ill double check your findings! Hahahah...good review buddy! ❤
Get in line please
LOL thanks Matty
Excellent comparison video. Thank you Jake.
Thanks Doug
I’m looking to buy the inspire 2! Is it worth it? I3 is way too expensive for starting
There is one major drawback to the new I3 SSD, it's read speed is about 2.5x slower. I noticed you were showing the original I2 SSD reader, The newer version thunderbolt reader would read at close to 2500MB/s where the I3 SSD only reads at close to 950MB/s. The difference this makes is noticeable when using the card to edit directly from and also the offload times. The I2 SSD with thunderbolt reader would have no issues or hiccups when cutting 4K RAW footage directly from the card... this isn't the case with the I3 SSD which is much slower. It's a pretty big tradeoff for the convenience factor of not having to use a reader.
Except for you are still limited to the transfer speed of the drive you are transferring to.
@@JakeSloan True. In my case, I can offload the data of the I2 SSD to my M1 Max MacBook Pro twice as fast versus the I3 SSD.
Hey Jake, thank you for the video and comparison. As you know I have Mavic 3 Pro, M3P and M4P. But I can't afford to purchase a filmmaker's camera drone. I get it's for a different type consumer. I still enjoy learning stuff on your videos. You're awesome Jake
Thanks a lot Michael!
M4P?
Mini 4 Pro@@srandall31
Such a great comparison! I will never buy the inspire 3, and will keep my inspire 2 foreverrrrrrrr!!!! But I do want a I3 🙂 Jake you are almost at 100k!!!!
lol you and I are in the same boat and YESSSSS 100k right around the corner!
I like the portability and form factor of the new charger for the I3, BUT, the DJI Charging Station for the I2 had a major advantage over it. It could discharge unused fully charged batteries for storage. You cannot do that with the I3 chargers. You must rely on the auto discharge feature is starts at a 2 day minimum and takes an additional 5 days to discharge to 60%. This is not ideal as the longer a battery stays fully charged after 24 hours, the harder it is on the battery and reduces the life expectancy, and at double the cost of the TB-50s, this is not good. Also, it would be nice if DJI offered the ability to re-charge a lot of batteries at 30% or less back up to 60% (the ideal storage percentage). You have to monitor one set of batts at a time to do this manually.
True however I found that I almost never put the drone away for any length of time with the batteries fully charged.
Another disadvantage is that with the TB-50s, you could reset the auto discharge cycle back to zero just by pressing the button on the battery. You cannot do this with the TB-51s. So if you have fully charged batteries left over from a day's mission, and they're set to start to auto discharge in two days, and you have another shoot in two days, you can't simply reset the timer by pressing the button. Those batteries will start to auto discharge on the day of your shoot.

What a great review - touched all the details! Now to ponder my order...
LOL ponder away!
Great job as usual. I had all those pains myself and I will fly the 3 in places I never would have dared on the 2. And wait till you see this DFW airport footage!!! Definitely some shots I would not have done with the 2.
oh man I can imagine!!
Well done, I have the i2 X4s modified standard remote for long distance and a Tripple tek 9 tablet. I use mostly over the ocean here in Australia. I find for recreation use it's great but I can see by your comparison the i3 would be a great upgrade, as it's more than 20K here to buy I feel tempted but remember just recreation. Although I'm a licenced pilot through C.A.S.A. here and already own 2 DJI drones I'm hoping to wait for DJI to release the i3 to the prosumer market at a lower price "i wish" repards Tony
The I2 still produces fantastic image quality
I reckon the dual ISO should have been Low = 400ISO and the High = 6400ISO just my opinion. On the low you can add an ND filter if needed and the 6400ISO would have in my opinion been much more helpful in low light.
That would have been amazing
Did you ever make the inspire3 low light video? I’d like to try and film with just moonlight. 🙏
I am still working on it, almost all of it is filmed, I just need one more shot and then editing it so coming soonish lol
@@JakeSloan I’ve been struggling with all inspire 3 modes after say 30mins past sunset, when there’s only small to zero amounts of ambient light. The set is un-lit for a night scene. Might have to bring out the A7S/FX3 drone rig which I didn’t really want to do.
I was looking around for some nice informative videos...and look who I found...AlaskaVader..haven't seen you in a while, hope you're still cosplaying! In the mean time im subscribing here too!
I am! just no time to post those vids anymore!
Nice job with the photo review. Thank you I just subscribe to your channel
Thank you!!
RX loss on the Inspire 2 with Patch Antenna facing down... nice :D (13:36)
I have experienced this hundreds of times on many different controllers. Patch antenna or not. The old light bridge system was garbage compared to occusync.
Can't wait 'til I can pick up an affordable one on eBay in 7 years time!
ROFL right?
Hello , the inspire 2 offers a professional charge case, the stock charger on both inspire2 and inspire 3 seem to be a bad joke, compared to inspire 2 charge station , but most people are so cheap they do not relize the bennifits
yes I had it and while it was very good it was expensive for what it did
Im really new to this and my question might seem dumb but would you be able to use the lens you are using on the inspire 3 in the inspire 2 ? Would that make the quality better?
the lenses are the same between the two drones except for the 16mm doesn't work on the inspire 3 they made a new 18mm for it instead
How much did you pay for the Inspire 3 excluding the camera, which is I assume the most expensive part? Does the RC come with Android OS?
You cannot buy the inspire 3 without the camera. The remotes are android OS
Great video as always Jake. That night footage in particular is insane.
I cannot afford, nor would I want to fly, this beast but I like to keep up with the cutting edge so I know what might be coming down the pipe to the smaller drones. So, with that in mind, one thing you didn't cover in the video, but that I'd like to hear your thoughts on, is which of this tech is likely to come down the model line and when (in your opinion obviously :) ).
Another thing I'm curious about (and may have missed if you mentioned it) is how feasible is something like this to fly/use as a solo operator? Can one treat it like a big Mavic essentially if one wanted? This question is mostly just out of curiosity.
I am passionate about landscape photography and time lapse and I use my Sony cameras and Mavic 3 Cine to get the best shots I can. But, in the future, my ultimate dream is a drone with a full frame camera, with enough resolution to create 8k hyperlapses. This drone meets those needs, but alas, is way to huge to realistically use (not to mention the cost is high for a non-professional like me). If only I could figure out a way for my Mavic to carry up my A7RV!
You can operate it like a mavic if you are flying it solo. But it also lacks the ability to do hyperlapses etc which I find odd considering the rest of DJI drones all have that functionality
@@JakeSloan Thanks for replying. That is very interesting that it is missing that functionality! Seems like a missed opportunity considering the high resolution. Hopefully they'll add it in firmware.
my biggest downfall mavic 3 pro is no dual controlling? this makes it A toy in my book!!!
they will never add features they want you the buy another drone!!!!
You could try speeding up video in post, Resolve has good stabilisation tools that work better than the in-built Mavic models.
all this great review of the I3 till the next one comes out....im still keeping inspire 2
lol true. Tech keeps moving forward. The I2 still has a fantastic image
thanks! great comparison!
Thanks!
I will never be in a position to fly an Inspire class drone, but this is still a very interesting insight into the design and real world use by professionals of this calibre of equipment.
Do not agree, if you have passion to fly one its no big deal, what is a problem is battery price- inspire 2 price is very low on some markets
It's quite a powerful piece of equipment way more than most people need for sure
This drone has some of the most detailed shots ever! Someone already mentioned the need for continuous autofocus, I agree that this is one of the most important features that the I3 engineers should update in a future firmware. Also hyperlapse feature would be awesome, I wonder why they didn't think about this before releasing this expensive drone
I think they were thinking only of video productions with focus pullers. Lol
they want you to buy mavic 3 pro- if you want those features!!!
Leave my Inspire 2.. Still learning it.
still a great drone with great image quality
In addition to the I3 lacking AEB, it lacks burst and pano features. DJI reps have even openly stated in their own support group that they feel these features are not professional features and that's why they are in the consumer drones. This viewpoint from DJI is a sad one. At least we got them to see the light on 'timed shots'.
true and hopefully they will see the light on other issues as we continue to bring them to light and pressure DJI to add them in
Hello, I sent a PM on facebook , the main #1 problem inspire 2 day one out of the box is the propellers, which because of vibration just destroys many components, DJI never offered any solution this problem!!! And made it worse by red locktite propellers bases to motors , causeing the user to change motor to just put Carbon Fiber props on or just change bases, i changed so many bases and never worked without vibrating even new bases and propellers after one flight I would be grounded!!!!
yep! I repaired many myself!
Hi, does the inspire 3 have active track like the inspire 2?
I does have spot light pro and it has been improved considerably. you can see some examples in my inspire 3 review
@@JakeSloan I see. Thank you for the response! At 11:22 did you use a combination of waypoint and spotlight to film you “having a conversation with yourself” ?
The camera settings stick unless you go into S35 mode, then they don't stick.
Interesting
not offering more battery options and charging options is not helping decide if purchasing? i am also hearing range is not really much better , you can not compare cendence with patch - ( is garbage) to a stock controller with aftermarket patch double cendence,,, i know from experience!!! but few professional know the truth , they only know getting paid!!!
I flew for years with multiple units most without a patch. The one I used for comparison had a patch only for this video. The range is night and day difference. The battery charge is a massive upgrade. The batteries I don’t think are an upgrade in flight time but they do perform better so far. We will see over time. I went through over 100 I2 battery pairs because they became puffy so easily. Time will tell with these but so far they seem better. I didn’t get paid a damn thing for this video instead I took 2 days of my time and drove around to film this then another day to edit it. All to help people who get to watch the video for free.
Cheers
Incredible, wow
Thanks
Really disappointing about the speed control dial for gimbal control (and flight control) not available on the new remote. Also the fact that you don’t have SDI out! Unbelievable that it doesn’t have it! Well I know why it’s because they took the, I think the M30/M30T industrial controller and made it compatible with the Inspire 3. Very very disappointing for not just adding that interface. But other than that, the Inspire 3 is a beast, everything else is just in another level. Such a welcoming upgrade after 7? years? I do miss the SD proxies though, was so easy to keep a separate card for proxies to backup 4k version in Rec709 of your footage
agreed!!
Oh yes, have you updated to the latest FW yet? Now we finally get the Vision Assist for the I3 as well! amazing! And a few other features I need to go try out. Like the new preflight checklist, like we had on the I2, quite cool and a nice reminder. Just wondering if you've updated and had any issues with this latest FW yet? Thanks for amazing content on your channel, and sharing your experience! @@JakeSloan
Been waiting for this!! My biggest complaint is the AFS not being continuous. What speed dial are you referring to?
I saw that the other day!! I am so excited about that! One cendance remote there is a small dial on the side that would control the max gimbal speed so you could start with very slow movement on the gimbal but then if you needed to speed it up (tracking cars etc) you could roll the dial on the side and have the gimbal speed ramp up to max. I hope they are able to give us AF-continuous some day
@@SkyPathProductions the cendence controller had a dial on the right side of the controller which you can set to be used as a speed dial for the gimbal speed (or for the pilot to limit the maximum speed, which is useful for example where you need limit your max speed to match say a tracking vehicle in a commercial when he/she is driving at a predetermined speed). This dial you get on RC transmitters(controllers) like the Futaba for the Alta 8 or Alta X for example. It is very useful for the camera operator also in dual op to adjust the maximum tilt or pan speed
Cool upgrade features but not worth an additional 13k on the price
when you look at all the things you would add to the inspire 2 to make it a similar package to the inspire 3 you are actually within about 2,000.00 when buying new
I prefer the look of the older Inspires. The new one is definitely cool though, it kinda resembles a big one eyed spider.
hahahaha kinda true.
The problem is the Inspire 3 is made more for professionals and is ridiculously expensive as it's not for personal use, I think they made a big mistake doing that considering that anyone who wants to buy the Inspire 3 we'll have to pay a really hefty price for it, they should have had an affordable version of the Inspire 3, the Inspire 2 was at least affordable for personal consumers, in my opinion they screwed up with that price jump, the inspire 2 was normally priced.
There are some great affordable options for excellent drones as well, but the inspire 3 is aimed at people who make their living filming with drones. When you add everything you would have needed to perform similarly with the inspire 2 compared to the inspire 3 you are actually very close price wise
Hello, not a dam word about landing gear switch, the cendence is a Horror story about landing!! I can not stress this enough!!! the stock controller is so much better then a cendence, what scares me is did DJI solution the landing gear switch on inspire 3 , not one reviewer talks about what I want to hear!!!! many youtubers are really disapointing too me!!!!
I think maybe everyone is disappointing to you because you already know it all... go make your own video and try and be helpful to others who might have the same questions you do
You can pick up I2 for 2k,No f way im paying 20k and more for I3.
true and the I2 still has great image quality
Wooo
Thanks
😍👍👍
thanks
@@JakeSloan wc... 🙏🙏
18th dang....
LOL
Inspire 2 main problem is stock propellers anybody flys stock propellers inspire 2 gets no respect at all from me!!! only carbon fiber work!!
comments like this get no respect...
inspire 3 nobody talks about lowest resolution? I am Hobby and only do 1080p -30? I see no differance , and that does not mean i should not fly inspire 3 - i just want clear answer , most people are so cheap they only talk money, I only want passion , I would not eat for months to have inspire 3 if thats what buying one required and not complain!!! maybe cry to myself!!! when I bought inspire 2 I eat out of the garbage , to me many professionals are just trash!! and only about flying for money!!!
if you do hobby the inspire 3 is NOT THE DRONE FOR YOU. but since you whine so much here: The inspire 3 will shot in 1080. it's not great because it isn't designed to shoot in 1080 on a 8k sensor
@@JakeSloan your 100% wrong about it not being a hobby level drone and only miserable people talk about money and price!!! Buy carbon fibre your inspire 2 that is why feet break from vibration not landings
