Introduction
If you are a professional filmmaker or videographer who needs a cinema-grade drone that can capture stunning aerial footage in 8K resolution, you might want to check out the new DJI Inspire 3. This is the latest and most advanced model in DJI's Inspire series, which has been the choice of many Hollywood directors and cinematographers for years.
If you want to buy the Inspire 3, you have to pay a premium price. The Inspire 3 costs $13,200 USD on DJI's website.
Inspire 3 vs Inspire 2
The Inspire 3 is the successor to DJI's longstanding professional filming drone - the Inspire 2, which was released way back in 2016. The new Inspire 3 is 20 percent more aerodynamic, and can operate for 28 minutes, which is 5 minutes longer than the Inspire 2. It also has a more powerful propulsion system that can reach speeds of up to 94 km/h and withstand winds of up to 14 m/s.
X9-8K Air: The New Professional Camera System from DJI
But the most impressive feature of the Inspire 3 is the new camera system. The Inspire 3 comes with a detachable X9-8K Air full-frame camera that can record 8K/25FPS CinemaDNG and 8K/75FPS Apple ProRes RAW. It also has a dual native ISO of 800 and 6400, which means it can capture exquisite detail and minimal noise - even in low-light environments. The camera has a 45-megapixel sensor and a Zenmuse X9-8K gimbal that can rotate 360 degrees and tilt up to 135 degrees. The camera also supports interchangeable lenses, including a 24mm f/2.8 lens, a 35mm f/2.0 lens, and a 50mm f/1.8 lens.
Vision & RTK Positioning Enables New Possibilities
The Inspire 3 also boasts some advanced features that make it easier and safer to fly. It has an omnidirectional sensing system that works with four stereo vision sensors, two infrared sensors, and two ultrasonic sensors to detect obstacles in all directions. It also integrates high-precision RTK positioning to deliver centimeter-level accuracy. Moreover, it has a robust O3 Pro transmission system that supports 1080p/60fps live feeds and an ultra-low latency of 90 ms within a 15km max range.
Built for Professional Filmmakers
The Inspire 3 is designed for top-level professional use cases, such as TV and film productions, documentaries, commercials, sports, weddings, and more. It can deliver stunning cinematic footage that rivals those of high-end cameras on the ground. It can also be controlled by two operators: one for the drone and one for the camera. This allows for more creative freedom and collaboration.
How Much Does the New Inspire 3 Cost?

Is the Inspire 3 Compatible with Third Party Apps?
Many drone enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating the release of the Inspire 3, the latest model from DJI that promises to deliver unparalleled performance and features. However, some users are wondering if they will be able to use their favorite third party applications with the new drone, such as Litchi, DroneDeploy, or Pix4D. Unfortunately, DJI has not yet confirmed or denied whether the Inspire 3 will support any third party applications, leaving many in the dark. This is especially frustrating for those who own the Inspire 2, use third party apps, and are looking to update their drone. It's still unclear whether the Inspire 3 will be compatible with any third party applications. All anyone can do is wait for DJI to make an announcement on third party support for the Inspire 3.
