DJI INSPIRE 2 - TWO YEARS LATER - Should you buy one in 2019? My Experiences

[@LiveLifeWithAView]

Great video! I’ve been considering picking one up but I’ve been on the fence. I had never heard of some of the issues you mentioned before. Very informative and greatly appreciated!

[@AIRWOLF]

It's an AMAZING piece of engineering......When it's working. Which it has been so far. hahaha. If you're wanting to jump into the film world than yes I would recommend it. :) Thanks again for swinging through.

[@lordplex_708]

You honestly deserve more subs, you popped up in my recommended and the way you edit, and the quality of your video had me thinking you had atleast 30k subs and when I looked I was shocked to se only 500

[@AIRWOLF]

Hahaha awe thanks bud. I appreciate you saying that. I’ll get there at some point. I think a lot of it has to do with the frequency of uploads. Because I do fly for film and television it’s really hard to also shoot, edit and upload videos for my channel. I do plan on doing more in the near future for sure. Thanks for swinging through.

[@mikebateman6669]

I'm picking up a barely used bundle tomorrow morning. Can't wait! $2400 for pretty much the $4100 bundle 😀

[@AIRWOLF]

MAN!!! What a deal, CONGRATS!!

[@grumpyshorts1056]

While I have not had any issues except one of the batteries going bad (I have 6 and DJI promptly replaced), And as a disclaimer, I don't get to fly that much (that is changing). While DJI customer service does not live up to expectations. Software glitches have popped up... but what else is out there with this tech. Unless you're an engineer and can build your own, what else can give you the results the Inspire 2 does? Like anything else mechanical, you need to keep it in good condition. Clean it, keep it dry, oiled and be aware of your surroundings to keep it safe.

[@AIRWOLF]

You’re right! We really don’t have any other choices.

[@grumpyshorts1056]

@@AIRWOLF Thanks for the come back... and another note, I think that DJI is so expensive because there is no others in this area that can compete as well. I thought 3DR was going to give them a run... not! We'll see what pops up going forward.

[@AIRWOLF]

Robert Beaubouef I think of the community sits tight 2020 is going to be bringing us some new birds/competitors. Thankfully

[@AtortAerials]

Funny thing is I’m watching this on May 19 2021 and no signs of an Inspire 3 anywhere near on the horizon! And about to pull the trigger on an Inspire 2 and still seems relevant and two years later than your video how crazy is that.

[@AIRWOLF]

I mean yeah you're right! I think it's a pretty solid machine. And it's my most flown for productions across the board. According to my sources an I3 is definitely on the way, but do to Remote ID everything is pretty pushed back. I may have to make another one of these videos? lol

[@AtortAerials]

@@AIRWOLF would u hold off then buying an inspire 2 now? I just feel it could be a year away or more still and really want to learn this drone already.

[@AIRWOLF]

@@AtortAerials it all depends on how heavy you’re planning on getting involved in the industry. You can always pick up the inspire 2 and then if something comes out later on you can have your inspire 2 act as your back up drone.

[@AtortAerials]

@@AIRWOLF true. And I like to always think the time is NOW waiting u never know what tomorrow is going to bring.

[@AIRWOLF]

@@AtortAerials You're 100% right. I also fall into that mindset often. You're better off just pulling the trigger with your decision. It'll always work itself out. :)

[@Photoflyboy]

I've been using the I2 for 2 yrs now and haven't had any issues except for landing gear not wanting to come down. That was about a year ago and I haven't had that problem since maybe it was a firmware update that fixed the issue. I still keep the P4 on hand just in case and have replaced the props with Xoar CF props. Keep up the good work. 🙂

[@AIRWOLF]

There goes that dang landing gear issue. Luckily I’ve never had it and hopefully I never do 😆 It sounds like you have a pretty nice setup. Appreciate you stopping by bud.

[@alexanderthegreat341]

Great video very helpful and informative.........you nailed it bro.

[@AIRWOLF]

Alex Coreas thanks Alex! 🙏🏻

[@bigslatemedia916]

I think it should be said that if you compare this drone any of the other professional cinema drones in the market (no not the phantom of mavic series), it’s remarkably reliable. Any of the heavy lift systems are incredibly finicky and require advanced set up times and tons of technical knowledge. This thing is a dream and yes, it has issues, but everything does.

[@AIRWOLF]

Oh I agree! When we fly Altas, especially the 6 and 8 the I2 is such a breeze. I’m hoping if/when an I3 comes they really get it dialed in.

[@phildevore4543]

I’ve never had any problems with mine like that and I’ve had mine since September 2017.

[@AIRWOLF]

I'm jealous. lol

[@IJUSTWANNAFLYDJIDRONES71]

Knock on wood.

[@savillecreations8046]

I was one of the first to get the I2 in January 2017. On my third flight I had it hovering about 20 ft up. I hit the stick in sport mode to see how fast it would accelerate. All power stopped and it smashed to the ground. I made a video about it that same day and posted it to KZbin. The next day DJI had seen the video and contacted me. Once I sent in the drone they said it was a power failure and sent me a new Inspire. And I too had a noisy prop situation. Besides that, now nearing 4 years, no issues. Just purchased a new Inspire as my I2 was stolen from my car. Now I'm worried an I3 will be announced right after dropping $7,200 for a new I2.

[@JacobGramtorp]

Bought mine back in the fall 2018 with an X-4S and a single RC. Mainly bought it to upgrade my license to the weight class and then planned to sell it afterwards (to have the ability to rent the weight class for each specific job). Absolutely fell in love with the features it provides Though, so I kept it. Since then upgraded to the X-5S and dual RC's with one Cendence. Been having 0 issues since purchase. My biggest complaint is honestly the stability in slow flight (My Mavic air is sooo much more stable in this flight regime), where it seems on the forums that its an issue everyone is having and the earlier firmwares were much better regarding this? Greetings from Denmark.

[@AIRWOLF]

Jacob!! My apologies on the LATE response. But it sounds like your I2 has been doing great! And yes, the stability is a huge issue, but thankfully it can be fixed for the most part in post production. The Mavic series drones are ALL rock solid in the air. Well, again thank you for stopping by its much appreciated. HAPPY FLYING!! :)

[@pluviamachina3583]

My problem is the pricetag, which is why I've never bought one. What is it about the Inspire series that justifies them being so expensive? The flight time is awful, it doesn't fold up, a mobile device is required, and cameras are usually not included. I spent $1100 on an Autel EVO, and I don't have those problems.

[@AIRWOLF]

All your points are valid, but I think you're comparing apples to oranges. To work in the industry studios typically require certain codecs to match footage on the ground etc etc. The EVO unfortunately can not compete. It's more or less a toy. It doesn't shoot 4K or 6K RAW footage that will match the $100,000 cameras that studios shoot with. And it doesn't have a top speed that could keep up to a car for the 1000's of car commercials that are made every year. Granted it would be great enough for smaller budget movie indie type stuff. Again don't get me wrong I LOVE the EVO, but its in a lower league.

[@pluviamachina3583]

@@AIRWOLF That doesn't answer my question: What is it about Inspire series UAVs that makes them so expensive, even without a camera? (FYI, the EVO can record in 4K @ 60FPS, and can reach 45mph. Also, calling the EVO a toy is like calling the Mavic a toy. The Parrot Bebop series is more deserving of the "toy" description.)

[@AIRWOLF]

It does answer your question, you’re just not comprehending. Why is the Arri Mini $50,000+ or the RED’s $35,000 or Canons C300 $15,000? You’re paying for the quality. The EVO DOES NOT SHOOT Pro Res or Cinema DNG codecs. The camera sensor is NOT comparable. The Inspire 2’s frame is that expensive because you need something big enough to carry the cameras it’s designed for. Are you going to argue that FreeFly charges too much as well for their drone? It’s $18,000 without a camera? And the EVO’s 40k 60fps doesn’t mean anything. The cameras sensor is non comparable to 40k 60fps on a super 35 sensor. Again..... You’re paying for the fact that it can carry a payload. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@princesphotographystudio]

I just got mine! Full package, two lenses, 6 batteries, all components in mint condition for 3200 dollars, an utter steal! Can't wait to go fly it this weekend! BTW I am photographer, videographer and been using my Phantom 4. But you scare me with those issues...yikes!

[@AIRWOLF]

THATS A STEAL!! I mean you got it so cheap that even if you experience the issues it won't hurt so bad. But hopefully not. Happy flying though bud. :)

[@f48films33]

Great vid. Been on board with the Inspire 2 for two years. I had none of the issues you did although I had this. Out shooting one day fully confident on the bird and then on landing the thing wouldn’t sit down straight. I fought it down with stick control. I sat there and was like that was weird and packed up. Took it out the next day to test because I was concerned the way it behaved on landing. Went up flew great then landing it was scary not coming down straight at all then bam roll over chewing up a trailer about 20 feet away. It was totaled including the camera. DJI refresh got a new one 0 problems for a year and killer footage. I get the love hate. Still a great bird just not perfect.👍

[@AIRWOLF]

Damn!! You’re heart musta just sank when that went down. Yeeesh But yes! It’s most definitely a love hate relationship.

[@f48films33]

AIRWOLF yes it did. Flying the new one was nerves for awhile. 😮

[@AIRWOLF]

F48 FILMS oh yeah I totally get it. Having the second one definitely frees up the nerves and of course insurance.

[@artfio4051]

only problem i had was the arm getting loose and tilting so the blade hit the fpv camera and ruining my blade. i changed to fixed carbon fiber blades and sent in for repair only to have it happen again. so i took my own expertise and electrical taped on the joints . 25 cents worth of tape hasn't happened in a year,

[@AIRWOLF]

Man that sucks. You know I was afraid of that happening to me while on a job. So I went and had 2 clamp like contraptions made that hold those parts together quite well.

[@dougcjohn]

Great Video and Info... late to view in Dec 2019 and still informative. Enjoy the videos! I have 2- Inspire 2, X4S, X5S & X7. Haven't experienced the Gimbal failure. My main failure was the battery cassette not retaining 1 battery and later not ejecting batteries, caused by an internal part within the cassette not serviceable, and a intensive detailed take-down to remove & replace. No other major, except occasional battery fussiness. Question on the Gimbal Balancing Board. You're stating the wires were breaking or coming out of connection on the gimbal mount, isn't there a little wire slack for movement? Was this a defect or more of a wearing problem caused by maybe heavy X7 & Lens stretching out the rubber gimbal insulators... in turn tugging the wires? Question, could the gimbal wire break be prevented by replacing the rubber insulators on a common schedule? I think there is a recommended life replacement on the insulators. On that same subject, did you install the gimbal protective strap? Noticed you're using M600Pro with Lumix MFT. Any thought on the A7R FF mounted?

[@AIRWOLF]

Hey bud! Thanks for stopping by! As for your battery connecting issues I too had the similar issue. And to elaborate on the gimbal vibration board. The first issue seemed to be with the wires not being soldered in properly and all the others Im not too certain because when I had it sent in they just said it was the board and never really gave details as to what was the actual issue was. Im guessing just cheap parts. I also do have the wire strap for extra support on the gimbal as well. I also haven't got a chance to mount the A7R yet but maybe in the new year. We're going to be testing out a NEW heavy lift made by XDynamics in the coming months so stay tuned. :) Happy Holidays :)

[@Mattithias]

I just bought an Inspire 2 and it'll be here in a couple of days. I never purchased Care Refresh for my Phantom 4 but I'm thinking I'll need it for this. Obviously, you are referring to the Care refresh here where DJI sent you a new drone correct? or was that manufacturers warranty?

[@AIRWOLF]

It was manufactures warranty because I’ve had issues from the day it arrived.

[@Mattithias]

So far my replacement has been working fine.

[@AIRWOLF]

@@Mattithias I would expect it to be. When I was having issues they drone was just released. So there wasn't too much information about it out there.

[@Drew47995]

Hey so for the past month I've been contemplating weather or not to wait for the inspire 3 or just buy the inspire 2. After watching this I am definitely leaning towards waiting for the inspire 3. Do you have any idea when it's supposed to be released?

[@AIRWOLF]

From what I’ve been hearing is that an Inspire 3 isn’t coming quite yet. Everything has always been speculation/rumors. I mean I’m sure they’ll have one possible at some point. But again from I’m hearing Dji has been focused on the consumer drones and commercial platforms. As of now the inspire 2 with the X7 is really hard to beat.

[@SimplyVisual]

Well said Airwolf!!

[@AIRWOLF]

Thanks bud!

[@TheGeorgiaDrone]

Great vid. Question. Have you mounted non-DJI lenses to it? If so, how was your experience? If not, would you recommend not doing it due to the gimbal vibration board issues?

[@davidjaypeterson644]

The only reason to have stock prop bases is to use high altitude props at over 2500m

[@AIRWOLF]

Good to know. Thanks for the information

[@HenloduToit]

Great video! I'm on my 3rd Inspire 2, had very similar issues than you. First issue was the image that went gone & after my local dealer almost replaced everything they found it to be the thin "hair" wiring from the vibration board. Then I got the dreaded prop issue, tried foam but wasn't happy with it, so replaced it with Lynh Phan adapters & T-motor 15x5 Props. Then I had an issue with the X4s camera where the camera (when doing mapping) doesn't center correctly - after lots of frustration & going back to my P4p, DJI fixed it with the latest firmware. Two weeks ago I had my first crash in 5 years & the I2 was damaged too much, so I bought a new one, just to find the same prop issue again & everything is still brand new. So I will try your prop fix, thank you so much but my carbon props are also on the way, I just feel more comfortable with them. On both my previous I2's I had the stuck landing gear issue but just a drop of oil on the worm gear fixed the issue. Two weeks before the crash I replaced 10 of my lipo's - when launching the I2 everything is well but after a minute or 2 in the air the battery % drop to zero but the volt is still good & the craft go into landing mode, so I replaced them +-60 flight/lipo - not good. I still love my I2 & it's giving me lots of joy & making me lots of money! :-) Thank you for your review!

[@AIRWOLF]

HENLO!! Thanks so much for stopping by. I'm sorry to hear that you've also experienced the same bull shit that I had to deal with. BUT! It looks like everything has worked out regardless. I'm happy you enjoyed the vid. Happy flying my friend and keep on make'n that chedda.

[@HenloduToit]

AIRWOLF can you tell me more about your lipo's, how many flights do you have on them? Did they give you any issues yet? Do you do any maintenance on them, like running them down to 8% after 20 flights?

[@AIRWOLF]

Hi @@HenloduToit Yes for sure! My lipos cycles range from 52-170 and I haven't had any issues with any of them expect for 1 battery last year. I had a bad cell that I ended up returning. As for maintenance yes. Sometimes we do slide off track with maintenance but typically every 20 or so flights we'll run them down to about 8-10%. I do however set my battery warning to 30% so by the time we do land they'll sit at around 20-25%. As you know Lipos don't like to be discharged all the way. But we do log our batteries to keep a count on cycles after every job. We do also put our batteries to the test often. Some jobs are harder than others, where we're constantly throwing hot batteries on charge to get us through the day. Thankfully they are "smart" batteries and will discharge when they sit too long. And if you do put a hot battery on charge they won't start till it cools down. Hope that helps -Wolf

[@HenloduToit]

AIRWOLF same here, I follow the exact same practices, just strange that I've lost 10 lipo's within a month or 2. No issue with new lipo's, hopefully I will be getting better life out of them. Another thing I lately do is everytime before I charge my lipo's, I discharge them to 25% before charging them - I'm using the charging station from dji. In the past I have sometimes charged my batteries from 60-70% to full, maybe it has built up a memory or something...

[@pakjannat]

I’ve had mine for a little over a year now and was wondering what program you use to do your video editing? I have not had any problems with my I2 as of yet, fingers crossed, it is used mainly for crop management video but I have yet to find a program that will edit the video start to finish? Thanks for your help, Patrick from London Ontario, Canada

[@ChasTucker]

Haven’t really had the issues you’ve mentioned here luckily, but I have had to send mine in for repair twice because the eject button doesn’t eject the batteries. That was annoying but that’s been my only issue!

[@AIRWOLF]

You're so lucky!! I haven't had that issue that you mentioned. But, what has helped me avoid the non ejecting batteries was to always clean the slide rails that the batteries slide on after EVERY flight. Sometimes jobs can get a little dirty and sand/dirt gets all up in there. I'm happy to hear that you've been pretty satisfied with your bird bud. And thanks so much for stopping by.

[@WellingtonSS85]

Noisy propeller motors, original speed firmware-reduced and lots of other firmware issues, unsatisfying DJI support, lack of Active Track 2.0, APAS, Side Sensors, Rear Sensors, Obstacle Avoidance in CIRCLE Flight mode, Foldable Design, plus obsolete Lightbridge compared to a cheaper Occusync, most of which above you can find in a cheaper Mavic, PLUS ADS-B becoming regular on DJI Drones from 2020 says a soundy NO to this question...just if you REALLY, REALLY need 6k rendering and is really well-paid for that!

[@AIRWOLF]

I’ve heard about that

[@kellygrajek]

Just went to the I2 within 2 months. I got very lucky and picked up AC only, brand new sealed in the box for 2200. For only 1000 more (w/x4s used) than the P4P I don't think I could of went wrong. The only real issue I have had was the gimbal connection misalignment when taking it off and putting it back on sometimes. It also draws a good amount of attention when it goes up but drones really have not made it mainstream here in WI like they have in other areas of the country. I think I've had less issues because I got into it late but I know the automotive industry well. I know Never to buy a redesigned or brand new model till the kinks are worked out. Kind of goes with the territory of complex machines but would I have bought the I2 upon release if I could have. As they say in here in the north woods " does a bear shit in the woods"?

[@AIRWOLF]

Thats actually not a bad deal! I think a lot of the issues I was having was because I was one of the many who ended up getting it when it first came out. So we ended up being the group of people that experienced all the issues with it. And as for you disconnection issue. That is all part of the gimbal vibration assembly. So, down the road you may have to replace it. I appreciate you stopping by and have a blast with your I2 bud! Happy flying.

[@bluesteeltraining]

Great video! I’ve had mine for a little over a month and a half. The first week I had it, one of my battery sets suddenly dropped from 50% to 14% as I was bringing it in to land. Luckily I contacted DJI support right away and to their credit it only took about 13 days between my shipping the bad ones to them in California from Ohio and them shipping me a new pair. Fortunately I haven’t had any problems since, other than an occasional tilted horizon that seems to take awhile to level out. I’m still getting used to this new bird and so I’m hoping some gimbal adjustments might help solve the issue. Otherwise I absolutely love this thing. As you know the photos are great but I’m always blown away at how smooth the footage is! Even when I goof it up, it still looks professional grade! It makes my Phantom 4 Pro and Mavic 2 footage look choppy by comparison.

[@AIRWOLF]

I'm sorry to hear about your battery issue, I've also had the same problem. And yes! When it's working like it's suppose to, it's an amazing piece of equipment. I hope you have no other issues moving forward. :) Thanks for stopping by my friend and happy flying.

Yes! And even 2021. In my opinion.

[@tupingshen7852]

how about 2020? imao i already have one but i wanted to see if it was worth it, considering i3 is coming out

[@AIRWOLF]

I3 is just speculation and like apple it’s all just rumors. Now will they have an I3 at some point most likely just not anytime soon. Dji is focused on consumer drones and enterprise because that’s where the money is. This is just my opinion of course. But to answer your question. It all depends on what you’re trying to do? Do you have an establish relationship with clients in the film industry? Then maybe it would be a investment for you. But if you’re just starting up, I don’t recommend an I3. It’ll be expensive and you’ll be able to snag an I2 for much much cheaper and it’ll do more than the job. We use the I2 for major networks and brands. And I’m certain with the introduction on an I3 we’ll still be using the I2. Hope that helps.

Yea, mine suddenly stopped it’s motors, everything went dead, no control and plummeted to the ground right there in front of me from about 100 feet. Totally destroyed. 6 months later I get a new airframe after SO much brain damage, but the assholes wouldn’t warranty the X5s and lens on it....... and just to ward off people telling me it’s my fault, no. Believe me, it wasn’t. It was my third flight of the set and 90 secs into the flight, bam. No warning at all. I have 400 plus hours of flight hours of flight time and I know what I am talking about. On inspection it appears that the front left motor literally torqued itself right off the motor bar. Yup just tore right off as it landed 15 or so feet away from the crash site, totally unscathed in a bush. Now you tell me the connection is sound? I have heard of this happening to others as well. Beware of those poor glue joints on that Carbon fiber...... it will cost you dearly

[@AIRWOLF]

Mannnn this just sounds absolutely terrible... ugh.🤦🏻‍♂️. I personally know someone that had the same problem. And because of the issue I had some 3D printed fasteners to hopefully keep everything snug just in case the glue breaks free. Again I’m sorry that this happen pal. Next year we should see some new drones come to market from different manufacturers.

[@davidjaypeterson644]

All your problems are from stock props and bases. Peroid. The vibrations kill that board. Its a total joke. And hunter open hang is a jerk.

The motors are pritty easy to change

[@TheGeorgiaDrone]

Great vid. Question. Have you mounted non-DJI lenses to it? If so, how was your experience? If not, would you recommend not doing it due to the gimbal vibration board issues?

[@AIRWOLF]

Hi 👋🏼 The Georgia Drone thanks for the compliments and question. So, yes! I primarily fly non Dji lenses (with the X5S) and “only” the lenses that they recommend. Such as the 25mm Olympus (which is our favorite go to lens). If I were to take a guess as to why the vibration board is always failing. It would be due to the poor design or just just parts that are used. Every time I’ve had it replaced it always comes back looking different. And when I say different I’m saying the inside part where the camera links into the vibration board. They installed a foam cushion one time, another time is been a black piece of plastic. And another time it was metal. That tells me that it’s been an issue and they’re trying to figure out how to come up with a fix. If the vibration board wasn’t an issue to begin with it would look the same every time they’ve replaced it. Again that’s just my opinion on it. And yes I recommend using their suggest lenses because the Olympus glass looks much much better than Dji’s. Olympus has been a lens manufacturer for a long time. Dji glass is great but they don’t have the experience quite yet in the lens department. Again just my opinion. Happy flying bud.

[@TheGeorgiaDrone]

@@AIRWOLF AIRWOLF Appreciate the quick response! Not surprised by the Olympus glass. I own the 45-150mm and it's beautiful. Im about to get the I2 but that board issue has me shook. Again appreciate the thorough response.

[@AIRWOLF]

The Georgia Drone It’s a great piece glass. Don’t get too discouraged, I’m sure there’s people out there that haven’t had a single issue. 😆

[@TheGeorgiaDrone]

@@AIRWOLF understood. Last question. Do your clients see a difference in image quality between the Phantom 4 Pro and the I2? I get a lot of work using the P4P and wanted to up my image quality game. But i don't do any cinema work, mainly commercial real estate. Is it with the switch?

[@AIRWOLF]

@@TheGeorgiaDrone I personally see the difference in quality because of the lenses. Unless you have an editor who knows what they're doing, they'll be able to make your P4P look pretty dang good. If you were to use your I2 for real estate videos your client may or may not notice because they're not trained to see it perhaps. If you use an I2, just make sure you're increasing your rates, we all know its super expensive. ;)
