@@albertbenny7430 hahahah
This drone was released ahead of its time. Still one of the best drone til now plus it looks so cool
The camera makes this drone awesome. The camera has a four third sensor so more edit possibility. The camera has a lenssystem so you can choose lenses. The legs of the drone go up and makes it possible to shoot 360 without turning the drone
Hi. Is there a link i can buy the better camera for my inspire 1? Thanks
5:37 most dji drones do this easily with course lock
Johnstergood glad I’m not the only one thinking that lol
But flying that close to a tree without looking at the drone where it is flying is difficult and dangerous. With dual operator, the pilot flying can concentrate purely on flying the drone. The other guy can control the camera, focus, aperture, direction, zoom and at the same time think about composition without worrying about crashing the drone. So I would forget the word "easily" from this sentence.
The advantages to the inspire are far and beyond what you could get with a Mavic or Phantom.
Framing is benefited by superior motion ability
Dynamic Range and BOCA supplied by the X5R camera and olympus lenses
Footage is much more steady due to aircraft weight as well, much more like heli footage than mavic footage.
You could get a shot with like that without an inspire, it’s called good piloting and maneuverability.
These guys say whatever comes out of their ass
Cheers maverick
That’s true but mean
Bingo
Very true
i've owned this drone and i love it. People will not look around when using a mavic but if you send this thing in the air you will definitely impress your clients
Or draw attention to yourself and get the cops called. Hard pass for me
That's boring af.. to impress your clients just use a helicopter 🚁 ✅
@@stevenuseda6317 Well i suppose that people are flying where it is allowed so i guess it's no problem
@@nienize I guess you don't have clients
Divil22 yeah that's somewhat true, but a lot of people hate drones these days and the "Karen's" don't care if you're following FAA rules or not they just hassle you for flying 😂
can we get a counter how many times we got the word "parallax" in this video
And also dynamic
5
What is parallax anyway?
pierre jean when you have a subject in the foreground moving one way and one in the background moving the opposite, creating a very dynamic feeling
pierre jean you achieve this like orbiting around a hill or a tree and keeping a mountain in the background
Still love flying the Inspire 1. This and the Mini 2 are the perfect combination.
The Mini 2 can be flown everywhere but no chance following an object that to does not go in a straight line. The Inspire 1 in dual operator mode allows for that. Just wish DJI would provide an updated camera to make enough of a difference.
Just imagine DJI would have kept the I1 in store, as a 1500USD system. More than enough space between a Mavic and the I2.
I've owned the Inspire for 3 years now and always loved it. Impressive for clients to see and brings your professional standard up a notch. Trouble I'm currently having is now finding batteries. I'm in Aus and they are getting rare. DJI possibly discontinued manufactured parts now the Inspire 2 has been out awhile.
yeah i hear that! just bought some on eBay for way more than they should be..
HeliEngadin in Switzerland does regeneration of old TB48 batteries, making them like new
Still a great drone, it keeps up good even in gusty winds and it's great to be able to pan in 360 degrees with the camera and the 2 operator possibility. Perfect to have the Inspire 1 and a smaller dji as a combo.
Still out of my price range but there is an inspire on for sale from goodwill $750 for it, and 7 batteries, and still shiny without a spec of dust like it was t ever even flown before
That's a fantastic price!
We bought 2 Inspire 1 V2.0 units about 12 months ago. One sits idle as a backup unit, the other we use the Remote that came with that one, as a Camera remote for the Unit we DO use. each unit was only $1500 each as REfurb units via Kogan. SO that means 2 Remotes, 2 Batteries, and 2 units for $3000AUD. Then an extra $300 a few months later for the TB48 battery - so we get roughly 45 min in the air on a shoot, or longer if we charge batteries on site.
Also predominately I control camera as a single operator - it's pretty easy with the Inspire, and I still enjoy the Smooth yet fast capabilities of the Inspire even over the Mavic 2 Pro. It just gives such a beautiful cinematic picture every time.
Have been debating whether we get an Inspire 2...Just don't want to be dissapointed if it doesn't severely out perform the Inspire 1 - as originally we had anticipated the Mavic 2 Pro would do... :(
Great video! But if I had to hear you say PAROLAX one more time! I was going to pull my hair out! Lol 😆
Watching this in 2023, this Drone is still absolutely amazing. 👍 from Wales 🏴 U.K.
I've been a proud owner since 2016 and I Still Love it
They changed the date to 2022 but video is made in 2020. They forgot to update it for 2023 and 2024.
Great Video! But here is some quick recommendations: When you show the cinematic footage from the inspire, I would switch to a 2.35/1 cinematic aspect ratio and heavily colored grade it so its a big difference from the BTS footage. Just some thoughts
I love my inspire 1 v2.
No issues even though dji hasn't updated the drywall in 3 years I think.
Either way great tool, sold my typhoon h after I purchased the inside just an incredible platform.
Love these vids well done on 100,000 I’ve been here for a whiiiiiiillllleeee now. 👍🏻👍🏻
Would love to see a short cinematic clip at the end of every video with all the material you shot
Exactly why i bought mine this week.. you cant expect clients to take you serious with a Mavic pro - plus the two controllers is a gamer changer!
20K lmaoooo
Dude, no way.
Right? Looking at my Inspire 2 that was barely over $4k and laughing.
IKR, the most expensive it ever was is 8000, with all accessories of course. the matrice series doesn't cost that much.
This... Exactly...
@@seanwan30 X7 is not compatible with the Inspire 1. Besides batteries are not being made any longer, I see prices dropping because of this. A 2nd hand basic I1 with 2 remotes, a couple of batteries and x5r goes for 2500 Euro's / 3000 Dollars at most.
@@seanwan30 in that case i've said nothing 🙂
I Bought a used inspire 1v2 , 2nd flight dropped out the sky, had fixed 4th flight dropped out sky, major damage, quote from dji twice what I paid for drone. Problem, batteries showed charge and plenty of voltage in DJI app. Drone said different and shut down motors twice in air critical voltage. Amazing drones but beware of battery issues.
That's why we decided to regenerate the batteries and certify their capacity www.heliengadin.com/products/dji-tb48-5700mah-inspire-1-battery
@@MatteoGalet
how is this battery regeneration? I want to do this here in Brazil can you help me and make a partnership?
Old batteries will be the cause, it will shut down in flight. Low voltage.
Of course it's worth. I'm still having mine, it's a beast ;-)
I still love mine!
And presentation is definitely part of it, when I pull up to a client with my mavic, I don't feel the same sense of professionalism coming from the customers eyes as when I unload the Inspire.
Thanks for sharing excitement. I have been doing FPV divings with my helicopter (250 grams) with a 19-inch prop that can't be done with quadcopters. The helicopter is getting discontinued and I am discovering inspire 1's propelller this week that seems to be a perfect replacement because all the trend curves show that inspire 1's 13-inch prop is highest in endurance for 250-gram drones and optimal motor weight.
"Parallax" "Dynamic" 👀
Mine gathers dust. They're hard to find replacement parts for if you need them now. Also, they're not making the batteries anymore. You can get some aftermarket setups to increase battery. Also, you can fly thermal with the XT, but it is not cheap. It is the fun big drone I cut my teeth on in the industry.
*Yuneec Typhoon* has left the chat.
Beast mode for a 6year old drone. Insane. Loved the video guys. ;)
Bro my internet was so weak I thought the drone films on 128p, deadass
Great job, boys! Been a sub for awhile, and I like the direction you are going. Keep it up!
I always love to fly this this is such a beast no drone can Match this beast i have mavic air 2 still. I'm loving it
Is the Inspire 1 still good in 2020? Well... yes and no. Overall it is still a great performing drone, performance wise....I think they still rock. Here is why it is a big NO and unfortunately the "no's" out-way the "yes". The drone has been discontinued as of 2020. That means that all of the parts and accessories have become a commodity, including the needed batteries. For now the parts and accessories are not too badly priced. That will change going forward. Batteries I think used to be around $185 ish...? They are now as high as $300 everywhere you look.; ebay, Amazon. Normal retailers don't have them. Some other parts and accessories are doing the same thing. I wouldn't pay $300 for a battery. Myself, I like to have more batteries then I need, at least 5 to 6 per drone. I wanted to go a head and put an I-1 together for fun and maybe a few other things but the battery cost make it too costly now and not worth it. They are great birds, but very quickly becoming a dead bird as well... your call...
thats exactly what I ran into... I have 1 set of props and 1 battery... and I just cant find new ones
HeliEngadin in Switzerland do regenerate TB48 batteries! They become new again
I caught that inside joke about the propeller size. The way you snuck that in there was well done. Dealing with lots of thrust here? 🤔🤫
take a shot every time he says “steep learning curve”
The sensor of the lens make the difference
Awesome video! Congrats on 100k 🎉🎉
Big tip to get smooth camera rolls is to not use the sticks for the camera op, press and hold down on the phone/iPad as it’s much much smoother to adjust the gimbal!
Hey I love your enthusiasm We are just the same if not more ..Its not about how good or great the equipment is its how good you want to be..We started Pro photography with a Canon 550D with a Sigma 17-70 lens ..We were doing good .We covered the model label and Pro's would often ask us what Camera we are using I would chuckle and reply Canon 7DX Mk5 ..Like saying Iphone 15 haha Now we have embarked into the world of Drone creativity witha Hubsan Zino Pro...Stay Lucky and safe
Uhm what kind of pro photography are you doing exactly?
I recently tried to re-edit some early portrait work I did with my 1100D when I first started out and it was unbelievably bad haha
The colours were terrible, there was no dynamic range, meaning the highlights within the face were completely blown and the blacks were crushed and incredibly noisy in the blacks ...
this resulted in like red blotches in the shadows, yellows and greens in the highlights - the skin was patchy like a cow haha
A lot of that are of course technical error. I could’ve maybe put the lights closer (?) to get more out of the 30$ speedlites or maybe I didn’t crank them all the way up. Who knows it’s been years haha.
yes, I did do my first gigs with that. Thank god I didn’t charge a lot for it in my arrogance.
But I wouldn’t go near any of that ever again. Especially not for professional work.
I just noticed my profile picture on here, I took with that 1100D haha.
I’m really interested to see what work you managed to pull out of that entry-level body. Any website or instagram?
Omg you’re sponsored im so happy yall deserve it
Yeah the inspire 1 is the best drone in the world, the fact that it is 8 years old doesn't matter, the principles of flight have been the same since the dawn of man😊wind blows aircraft around etc....etc....., it's big and it's a class act😊😊😂😊❤😊
New drinking game.
Drink every time he says learning curve
"That's surprisingly HEAVY"
DJI Inspire 1 weight with camera and battery: 6.73 LBS 😂😂
This drone is still in its prime.
The new inspire 2 does not cost $20,000! That was a delusional comment! Lol
True, but it could if you get the top tier camera and all the ssds and all the batteries and all that stuff, but it's true it's not $20k
Mavic 2 pro supports 2 controllers at the same time. Maybe a video about this feature ?
I was robbed two times this year. 8 months apart people getting in my car. Cops were on the spot 4 minutes later. Had him in the woods but he got away because the cops were not willing to track him at 2:00 in the morning. These criminals know that. So I've purchased an inspire one and now I want to be able to as soon as my driveway alarm catches him in my car instead of watching him run away in dark clothing with a gun. I can send the drone up and thermally track him and inform the cops in live time just where he's at and get that son of a b**** in jail where he belongs. Problem I think I'm going to have a problem affording a thermal camera and I realized when I first flew the drone that I'm not sure I'm capable of operating the drone and the thermal camera at the same time with one control and following somebody on the ground. Right now it seems amazingly difficult to the point of not even trying it. I wish there was some way I could throw it up in the air and get it on the person and then hit a button and have it automatically track and stay with him. But I guess I probably don't have that much money. Lol
Great vid boys! New to your channel - great content!
Your friends have some nice toys!
Why this channel is so underrated?
The dji inspire platform is more relevant today than ever. I move my X5 between my Aircraft and osmo seamlessly. For under the price of a mavic it cant be beat.
2020 i still flying this baby~
I'd still be happy with a mavic pro or air I think. I use a mini right now which I'm happy with, I'm really only finding myself wanting for more dynamic range with a flat profile and a little more speed to follow vehicles, but the mini is so easy to travel with it's enough for me for now, especially since I'm only an enthusiast at this point.
Do yourself a favor and wear sunglasses when hand catching the Inspire. The force of the blades is not a joke.
One of the best i pick up a used one this week for a great price from a good friend cant wait to fly this drone
same! looks so more Pro..
This world my fevorite. Drone inspir only.
I still love mine.. none of the consumer models can touch an X5 and the larger sensor of the MFT for low light and image detail. And you can get a used i1 body for $700 and a used X5 for $1100 with lens.. I enjoy some of the newer features of the Mavics like battery life, but for photography the larger sensor is the the one. Unless you pickup an i2 and X5S..
do you still get the 1345T props or new batteries for the i1? thats my only problem... I have only 1 set of both and I just cant find any new ones ..... :((
Tim B yeah that’s the unfortunate thing is I noticed about a year ago that you couldn’t find many used batteries but I did see some new OEMs on Amazon last week. I’m due for a couple new ones. The price has gone up considerably to $309 as opposed to just $180 a year ago.
HeliEngadin do regenerate TB48 batteries, they become like new again
Seriously I’m getting barbie ads while watching this. Can’t see the link between a drone and barbie.
Hello,
I'm currently looking to a pretty good deal on Inspire 1 x5. I also have mavic air 2. Could someone answer a couple of questions of mine? I would really appreciate it
1. You can control the aperture during flight, yes?
2. What about zoom? (If it's Olympus 14-42 for example)
3. Can you change focus during flight?
4. Can you fly this drone alone, without second operator?
5. Are there any safety sensors like newer drones have?
6. Are there any 1.4 MFT lenses supported?
7. Finally, if someone would be kind enough to share with me a raw video file at max settings and my colleague could try to colour grade it, that would be wonderful.
Thanks a lot!
Q1-4 yes. Q5 nope. Q6 yep 15mm, 12mm, 45mm are all officially supported. There's a hack for the 40-150 a few people did back in the day and the Laowa 7.5mm works (nb There's a drone version and std version. The drone one is lighter.) Q7 soz man, i only have the X5 non raw versions.
I LOVE YOU GUYSSSSS you guys made me fall in love with film making!
Totally agree 😁👍
I can't believe that anyone would leave a dislike! Great video as always!!
Full disclosure, I didn't 'dislike', but I took the title a little more seriously than I should have. I'm guessing the dislikers didn't expect 20yo 'kids' playing with a new toy. The goofy laughing and the tension between the drone owner and they rest of the guys was palpable. They didn't really know what they were doing, but having fun. I think someone looking at an Inspire (over much better and much more affordable DJI prosumer drones of 2020+) are looking for a more professional opinion about viability of the Inspire 1 platform, given the scarcity and absurd cost of batteries, cost of parts, etc. Just my 2c.
I just bought an Inspire 1 for $270 USD. Seemed like an absolute bargin. It came with 5 batteries, range extender, carbon props and a huge travel case allowing for it to stay standing up. Seems like a great drone so far.
Sounds like a steal. Literally.
@@MikeMu remarkably it wasn't. Just a very generous neighbour who no longer needed the drone as he upgraded to the Matrice 600.
@@roo1237 You stole that drone!
Got my inspire 1 for $330USD used.
Only Problem: Batteries! They are discontinued and not available anywhere!!! I had 4 Inspires and had to sell them just because of that.. Best drone ever made in my opinion! DJI just pulls the plug on still perfectly functioning machines just to promote their new products.. I do not think it's fair after we spend thousands of $$$$$$ on them, extras, accessories etc.. Unfortunately, they dominate the market and we still run after the newest gadgets produced by them because of built quality and many other things.
Can’t wait too see what else we can capture in the near future
Why not inspire 2?
I've been into quads many years set a record with a Traxxas aton for most barrel rolls under no power and I'm thinking of buying an inspire 1 today for my TH-cam page found one super cheap to keep up the coo content brothers
U guys have drone pilot license?? I think you need one in Canada now!❤️
made in 2020 foretelling the usability in 2022 lmao
LOL, Noticed the Props on the Inspire 3 will pretty much be same as on the 1.
Really a shame that DJI doesn't seem to think the noise is a problem.
I'd bet money that a slightly more sophisticated shape would make it sound less like an airborne weed-wacker.
Inspire 2 isn't even close to 20k. More like 8-10k with extra batteries, case, 2nd controller, etc. I'm SHOCKED this dude paid 2800 for an Inspire 1 kit. Wow. I sold mine a few years back for $1500 or so, and I thought it was a win for me. Geez.
How does it compare to mini pro 4 camera-wise?
Instead of using the controller sticks, use the click and drag on the screen. It works better tracking subjects.
Crazy movement!!
Good job guys, it was fn to see your enthusiasm! : - )
What kind of microphones do you guys use? I really like the sound of those
The Inspire 2 is not $20,000. The best kit with the X7 camera tops out at $9,000.
Obv price changes after 3 years you re re
I remember the time when DJI first released the 'technology' of being able to catch their drones and not needing to land them on a flat surface for the phantom 3. And now there is people *cough cough* that just completely disregard the potential hazard and the drone's legs and just catch it...
Men have higher injury rates. But we are damn cool
@@Acavando Who cares about getting injured if we look cool am I right?
@@lukeh6704 Literally yes
@@lukeh6704 I can tell your a smart man.
everytime i get a notification, im right here! This is going to be great!
the inspire 1 flies and sounds so good. i know where it is and how it moves. the mavic air and mavic pro, i have to rely on the video on my phone to know where it is.
I am still trying to convince myself to get the inspire2.... but I don't want to toss money at it if there is an inspire 3 coming out
Pls if your inspire 1 is up for sale and durable, i am available for purchase
Parallax shot with the parallax drone of a parallax object for a nice parallax video
Bro what are these prices this guy is spouting. The inspire 2 costing $20k and the 512 SSD costing $1200? A brand new Inspire 2 costs $9k if you want every single little thing it can possibly come with in 1 package, $3200 if you want the basic package and that 512 SSD doesn't even cost $200.
What funny timing for this video to come out. I was just looking into the old Inspire 1 as I recently got my drone license from Transport Canada. My thinking is with the new drone laws that were passed a couple years ago in Canada making the world of aerial photography/cinematography a lot less accessible, those few with their licenses will be in a lot higher demand, meaning the investment should pay for itself rather quickly.
Great videos! TH-cam's 1080p really screws with the quality images you guys are working with. You should post in 4k.
I’m looking to buy one, one thing tho.. do you need two people to use this?
I'm sure if the pilot grossly points the drone towards the shot you'll be able to compensate for gimbal speed easier.
Interesting video guys. While I've seen the Inspire 1 (even got to fly it for about one battery worth of time), was unaware of the two controller function. Find that really awesome. Like the idea of one person flying, while the other person does the camera work.
I've seen that type of set up with professional LARGER drones (six blades), but find it interesting the Inspire will do the same.
No... not running out to buy an Inspire. My 2Pro will be just fine for years to come. (Need to continue to practice my manual cinematic movements.... Practice.... Practice.... Practice)
Keep up the good work.
A magic mini last 30 min fly and that just 15? Dang
These guys are the best ❤️❤️
Wow dji inspire is the best one.... btw have you ever make an advertisement video fir a resort only with a drone let say wit a dji spark or mavic? Is it possible just inly with a drone?
10:41🔥🔥 I am in position...😀😀😂😂😂
Luv ur videos ❤️❤️
best 7 year old drone ever?
It’s now 2023 and the points you raised are in my opinion still relevant inspire with X5 are still fetching about $ 300 CAD more expensive in your now expert and experienced opinion go for x3 or do I go the extra mile and get the X5 ?? Thanks fir doing what you do , I’m now subbed and liked and sent the video clip to my Son hopefully it will help your Chanel a little . 👍
