You are encouraged to buy and use batteries in pairs, so their lifetime is similar. On the plus side, the Inspire 2 does come with a charming battery charging hub shaped like a black plastic drinks can, the sides open out and the chunky batteries can take their place – two (placed opposite each other) will charge at once. Admittedly it’s strong, with reasonably meaty feeling locking clips, in a style some roadies might be familiar with, but it doesn’t give the impression get you away from the road there are some specialist backpacks out there but, inevitably, they’re not the easiest of shapes to work with. While the Inspire 1 came with a nice carry case which was let down by a weak zip, DJI seemingly opted to make clear their shipping container wasn’t to be re-purposed for travel by building it of polystyrene. Whether this is handy or more confusing is a matter of opinion. Having a separate record video and image capture buttons on the remote, rather than switching modes, feels a lot more logical in a way though the newer Fly app on DJI’s consumer drones lets you keep different settings in different shooting modes. If you need to switch between the platforms, you’ll find the differences irksome – Go 4 can do more, but it does them differently and if you get used to one, then doing things differently is frustrating. In software terms, the Inspire 2 is powered by DJI Go 4, the app which is a lamented loss by Mavic 2 users upgrading to the Mavic 3. The controller is weighty it’s hard to believe the size is necessary now but, on the other hand, there is no HDMI out on the Mavic 3, let alone the ability to use an iPad Mini. Even this size the poor handling of dynamic range is apparent, which is a worry when the camera is used for TapFly but not an issue otherwise. You can re-position as you choose, but here the view from the FPV camera is seen front and centre. ![]() The fold-up screen holder never folds far enough away to require the unscrewing of control sticks – one of the few things about the Inspire which doesn’t take several steps to pack – but does feature nifty little fold out grabbers for phones (it has been designed assuming an iPad Mini or similar will be the device of choice). At the back the index fingers sit on two programmable buttons, while the shoulders also sport a wheels, buttons and switches including one which automatically takes on the task of zooming should you fit a motorized zoom lens like the Panasonic 14-42mm. If there is one, the other operator needs to stand within 100m (in practice rather less) for things to work.Īt the back of the controller are a sync connector, a USB-A and Micro-USB connector for connecting to a tablet or phone for the app – DJI Go 4 – and an HDMI socket for live video out. It features the original Lightbridge technology, with a range of 7km (4.3 miles), and can deliver both 1080p or 720p video feed and the FPV stream from the front camera. The Inspire 2’s controller is a different beast from those you might have become used to from DJI’s more portable offerings, but on the other hand it has a few more tricks up its sleeve. There are also upward-facing sensors to make collisions with ceilings less likely, effectively equipping the Inspire 2 to take on studios or indoor sports venues. Mounted away from the fuselage at the front of the drone are the forward visual sensors (to prevent collisions) and a tiny FPV camera between them. Unless you choose otherwise, the drone will automatically arrange itself into landing position once you’re nearing the ground (1.2m) which should prevent any nasty accidents. ![]() The hull surrounds the mechanism which moves the motors arms between their three positions storage, landing, and in flight. A very sharp direction change can spoil things though. The button-inside-a-button battery release didn’t seem the most practical solution (we always wanted both or neither to come off, so why make it fiddly?) though it must be said that the legs seem able to cushion a fairly firm stop if needed and they did stay out of shot for us. Sure, there is a warning sticker, but it’s such a natural lifting point. ![]() The one which caught us most frequently – familiar with its predecessor as we are – was that the admittedly striking magnesium alloy hull also seemed keen to slice the tips of our fingers off when we lifted the drone to move it. While the machine looks impressive, and if you accept that the shape-changing design is the best way of freeing the camera from obstruction, it is not without design issues.
