DJI's Inspire 1 is an amazing camera drone with a price to match

2015-08-23
drone maker DJI has built itself quite a fleet of flying cameras over the past year and at the top of its ready-to-fly line up is the inspire one and it's awesome why is that well for starters it looks amazing like a flying cow skull with carbon-fiber legs that automatically lift up and out of the way when it takes off that means they won't get in the way of the 4k resolution camera with its gimbal that keeps the camera steady and rotates a full 360 degrees and tilts 125 degrees while grabbing excellent video and photos the camera is also removable so there's upgrade potential down the road and there's a mount that will let you use it handheld flying the inspire one indoors it's easier thanks to a set of sensors underneath and when it's outside the improved GPS keeps it hovering wherever you leave it and guides it back to you at the press of a button the controller delivers a steady live HD video feed from the drones camera from more than a mile away to an external display or a mobile device it also has physical camera controls and can be paired with a second controller so one person can pilot while another controls the camera so all of that awesome what's not so awesome is battery life maxing out at 18 minutes and an extra batteries running about a hundred and sixty dollars or you can hand over $200 for one that gets up to 22 minutes and there's also the price of the quadcopter itself which is $2,900 with one controller or 3400 with two you could read the full review on sitcom but basically the DJI inspire 1 handles like a dream but the costs put it into pro and deep-pocketed enthusiast territory I'm Josh Goldman who's seen it thanks for watching
