DJI Inspire 2 Drone 👀 5Yrs Later!

The Inspire 2 was released in 2016, fast forward to 2021 and this drone still rocks!
We were out there all day and into the evening, after reviewing all the footage, we went with the sunset shots, I hope you like the shots.
Even in 2021, you can't put a price on a drone that has a camera equip to handle interchangeable lenses, simply because nobody is mass producing these types of drones. This inspire 2 drone was way, way ahead of its time, still going strong, and still works fantastic!
I can watch the legs go up automatically all day and the X7 camera quality and dynamic range is a dream to edit. I did not get a chance to shoot in Prores but the D-Log was more than enough. Plus the cendence controller equipped with the ultra-bright 2000nits display made the experience even more comfortable. The setup was surprisingly fast and smooth for its size.
I had a blast flying it and definitely a checkmark on my drones to fly bucket list!

Maybe that 25mm lens is the sweet spot or maybe the timing was just right? Either way, I had a blast flying and I hope you enjoyed the show. Like & Sub up, I appreciate it, and here's another throwback: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKfRgXSOhLKZo9U Happy Flying :)

[@eleglance]

Amazing, the Inspire 2 is already "old school" Time flies! Thanks for making this video! :-)

[@akidoomar]

Lol time flies literally

[@to_the_limits3256]

Thank you very much that the drone owner gave us an insight into the DJI inspire 2, You can see that he loves his hobby, that's great and the Shots are Beautiful and Amazing, this is my dream Drone

[@dougcooper4917]

Xavier, Excellent Historical Review Video Of The DJI Inspire 2 Drone! Great Cinematography Drone! Thank You!

[@jonnmedds]

Love this drone, it looks the part, and films amazing shots. That dynamic range is just amazing. Your friend is pretty cool letting you fly lol

[@jaycarl1562]

Very nice video on the inspire 2. From looking at your other videos about Air2s quality, I feel the Air2s is in the perfect sweet spot of all the drones in the market right now.

[@AtortAerials]

Until Mavic 3 comes out and smokes Air 2S? 😏

[@dreswan1]

@@AtortAerials If you can afford it

[@alanpetersen4615]

The DJI Air 2s compares to the Mavic 3 like a Volkswagen compares to a Porsha! I know, because I purchased both, and tested them out.

[@Nine_883]

Awesome. Mavic Air V1 next? Spark! Let’s see them all man! I had them all except the Phantom and Inspire. Loved them all too!

[@A.P.N-Drone]

It is a very powerful tool even today Thanks for the great video you shared with us Good luck 👍

[@nikkieang]

The footage was amazing!!! Wow 😳 Thank for another mind blowing video

[@bownsaway]

Absolutely brilliant the scenes looked futuristic thanks for showing us the Inspire 2 what a beast.

[@smokingaze4754]

Man, the inspire is such a cool *** piece of tech. Would love to hear more about Daryl's use of the drone. Perhaps a series on people and their drones, and what they use them for ? Thanks @droneXfactor!!

[@STS4242]

Cool video Xavier. Darryl has a chill vibe going. You guys are a blast!!

[@xavier_arthur]

He's very Cool 😎 People 💪 Thanks for sharing

[@woodst408]

Can't believe this drone has been around for 5 already...time flies!

[@JRthepyroguy]

My og phantom 4 still Flys great. Dji old tech still holds up. Awesome video.

[@flytown9853]

Man that Inspire2 is really awesome...!

[@chadgilmore5046]

DJI should have designed the new smart controller like this controller so you can swop batteries when one battery needs charging just put a fresh one in the controller....Great video Big X

[@GoDuffdaddy]

Still one of my most favorite flying camera platforms.

[@SolidMikeP]

BRO! you look amazing bro, Im on a weight loss journey right now and this has me inspired.

[@udornyc]

Loving it, Xavier! Does Darryl have a KZbin channel, or should I ask in the group? 😀

[@REXcreativesTV]

Thank you for sharing this in my life sir. Amazing drone

[@CyclonusEX]

Great video, that Drone looks like a ton of fun. Has to have some pretty good SPEED with props that big, yeah?

[@jackbisson9226]

This setup is used for the PGA Tour events. It was used during the Ryder Cup this year with fantastic results.

[@DronePsyche]

What a beautiful piece of technology. Work of art.

[@truthseeker36]

How about linking his channel? I would love to see some of the footage he has shot with his inspire 2.

[@kelviskelvis7140]

Xavier nice capture of what the range of drones can offer. Peace!

[@mkirnon3]

Darryl is the man...

[@russellgrice659]

Fantastic View 🏆💫🏆

[@SpicyPR22]

Awesome video shot!

[@MrEddieNunez]

I think a lot more dynamic range could have been pulled in post. Especially from an x7 camera.

[@xavier_arthur]

That's True

[@robertharley4518]

Just a comment, these camera systems are on the MFT mount factor. As such, if you were using 35mm equivalent, then you missed that 16mm with a MFT lenses would be double at 32, 25 at 50, 50 at 100 and finally the 100 would end up at 200mm. Those who have them can't complain about the quality. Yes, it takes a while to set up but this is for documentary grad projects and short movies. Not your pull it out, fly it, hope for the best without weather is was safe to fly. It isn't old and still has it's uses for high end shots.

[@salsero2627]

The x5s camera is mft so this applies. This is the X7 It uses Dji DL lenses and they both are super 35.

[@xavier_arthur]

Super 35mm sensor buddy Happy Flying

[@sudburydrone466]

The bad boy. 👍👍✌️

[@EnglishTurbines]

Great overview of the high end drone, thanks...Why you guys still have Summer?, we freezing here man..lol...🤔😳😀🇬🇧

[@tinguiairimagens]

Very cool👍👍👍

[@SW-Video]

What kind of flight time were you getting per battery? These Inspires, especially one so well equipped with 4 lenses, is the bomb baby! It's a lot to carry around and not for the run and gun shooter but still so nice for pro level use.

[@INTELMAXELL]

You crack me up X. Happy Halloween lol.

[@biggpoppa7234]

The gentleman sounds like he is from the Caribbean.

[@coalakida]

Does it take pictures if so what size ? by the way fantastic video.

Looks like one smoggy ass place to live. Come up to upstate N.Y. Were the sky is clear , no pollution. Awesome Drone $$$$$$. You better get yourself the Pro 3 ASAP.

Xiavier what camera are you using to film this video? The quality is awesome

[@xavier_arthur]

Panasonic G9

[@stanvisualseychelles932]

@@xavier_arthur very nice 👌

[@izoyt]

nice stuff. but you really need a strap and holder for controller combo like this. will make flying way more precise and easy.

Would great to see another fpv video

[@StephenBell_video]

Still the master bird of the skies! 💪

[@Alessandro.MS300]

Bom demais!

[@Northstar-Media]

Does the inspire 2 record to Solid state memory sticks & do you need a special codec to shoot movie quality media ( the movie industry standard apparently)

[@memcrew1]

Yes it does record to an ssd. It records raw, proress, h.264/265 and D-log.

[@FrankCalvano]

Wanting to try Waypoints with my Mavic Air 2. I tried going into Hyperlaps and then Waypoints...and I get a message that I need to be flying first. Is there a way to preset my flight plan in Waypoints before launching my drone? FYI - I'm new at this just got my Basic license a year ago...and now getting in my flying hours. Real Estate is my goal. A professional photographer since 1985 turned high school teacher. I'm retiring in 4 years and will need something to keep me occupied. Thank you

[@hawaiifreespeechnews]

Your color graded hardly looks any different from log. Did you apply any saturation?

[@mikehays6526]

U need to compare the air2s to the inspire2!

[@zoranm6432]

I love my Inspire 2 as well, yes it’s old tech compared to the Mavic 3 etc, but the quality coming out of that x7 camera is second to none. If you want the best possible quality from your photos or videos the I2 is still the way to go.

[@figelski1]

wow... them things are soooooo big and still spendy...keep your eye on the ball!!!!

[@paullthomas8064]

"It Was Fantastic Guys" Happy Flying!

Hello everyone 👋…im traveling to NY in December as a tourist with my drone and I was wondering if I’ll face any trouble at the airport?

[@xavier_arthur]

Absolutely Not! If you have a portable drone, please bring it with you in your carry-on, decrease your batteries to 10% charge and if you can put the batteries in a lipo safe bag and put them in your carry on as well 💪 NYC Drone Flying: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGO8f393oaiGbqs

That's really Cheap 😲

$21,000? damn it must b GOLD PLATED? lol...........beautiful drone though

[@MarS-dc2qx]

The new mavic 3 cine is replacing this

[@xavier_arthur]

I wish Mavic 3 can't shoot Prores Raw 😭 Mavic 3 doesn't have interchangeable lenses 😭 Mavic 3 has a much smaller 4/3 sensor with only 12 stops of dynamic range. Mavic 3 can't ascend and descend as fast as this, nor does it have the top speed like this. Mavic 3 falls right between the Phantom 4 Pro and Inspire 3

[@TheBigb1973]

Sorry but the mini 2 footage looks way better 😉

[@scottgreenfield6613]

You need two people operating this drone. One pilot one camera operator. The pilots view is extremely horrible. The range of this drone is its biggest downfall. My mavic mini can fly further. It’s probably time to sell.

[@xavier_arthur]

Big waste of money. Too big, too expensive. It’s like owning a Lamborghini to drive in bumper to bumper traffic to go to work at Burger King

[@SkySemijon]

True if you don’t do high end contract often with drones this is not for you. Bought mine and it was sitting in my closet for many years since its not a drone you can use anywhere you want and pretty dangerous if it crash. Another thing i hate about this drone is very unstable at low altitudes.

[@letsrugem]

your color graded was so bad tbh, am flying i2 with x5s and I can do better than this.

[@presidentbusiness1rst]

i wish he had brought the 2nd remote and he could have flown FPV and comtrolled the camera while with Main that controlled the Inspire that would have been really intresting to see. Great video thats nice pakage he put together. 🦾
