DJI Inspire 1 Released In The Right Direction

DJI and Heliguy had a busy night last night. At 1am, DJI launched the Inspire 1 and we were lucky to be in Shenzhen to be part of the launch. DJI seem to have spotted the gap in the market that we at Heliguy have been working hard towards over the last 18 months. This area being, the geospatial and mapping market, perfect for agriculture, mining, all surveying and inspection requirements. The launch in America was broadcast around the world and we have captured the highlights here in the blog. The DJI Inspire 1 sits in the middle-ground of Pro UAV technology incorporating 4K camera using DJI's amazing gimbal technology and incorporating the Lightbridge in the vehicle will be suited for live broadcast and digital data capture at ground. Heliguy has much experience in the field and is glad to see DJI now have a development platform to work with products like Agisoft Photoscan and Pix4D. This is the game changer. Heliguy will be the first company in the UK to have stock of the DJI Inspire 1 as a top tier dealer and will also be ready to deliver commercial training to new customers to the UAV market and assist in formulating scalable schemes of work for larger corporate clients. At long last, it does look like the UAV industry is moving in all of the right directions: onwards and upwards.

TRANSFORMING DESIGN Strong carbon fibre arms lift out of sight, transforming the way you shoot.

The lens consists of 9 elements in 9 groups including an aspherical element producing extreme clarity, while Adobe DNG RAW support gives you the power to make every shot a masterpiece. Everything is better in 4K. MODULAR, UPGRADEABLE SYSTEM Inspire 1’s gimbal and camera system can be removed from the aircraft for safe transport and future upgrades. LIVE HD VIEW A real-time feed from your Inspire 1’s camera is displayed in 720p HD on your mobile device giving you a perfect view of what the camera sees to frame your shots. This is made possible by an all new and improved version of DJI's Lightbridge technology which can transmit video from up to 2km away. CREATE TOGETHER For an even greater level of precision, use a second remote controller and fly with a friend. With two operators controlling the same Inspire 1, one person pilots the flight path while the other aims the gimbal and camera. Each user can have their own screen to see exactly what is being shot in real-time. By working in tandem, you’re capturing shots that are more complex and artistic than ever before. FLY INDOORS AND WITHOUT GPS USING VISION POSITIONING SYSTEM Indoor flight has always been a true test of skill for all levels of pilots. DJI’s new Optical Flow technology uses a specially designed camera as well as sonic waves to bring simplicity to flying indoors. This technology allows the Inspire to hold its position, stop when the controls are released and respond to your commands even when GPS is unavailable. INTELLIGENT POWER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM A fully integrated intelligent battery powers your Inspire 1 and virtually manages itself. When in flight, your remaining battery power is shown live, letting you know how long you can continue to fly. Advanced algorithms calculate the distance of your aircraft and estimated time to return home, letting you know when it’s time to fly back. The battery tracks the voltage of each cell, the total lifetime charges and discharges, and the overall health and battery status. All this helps you keep your Inspire 1 in the air and flying for years to come. DEDICATED CONTROLS Take absolute control of your Inspire 1 with DJI’s most sophisticated remote controller to date. Featuring dedicated buttons for photo and video capture, a gimbal control dial, an integrated rechargeable battery and more, it’s easy and intuitive to fly. The controller has an HDMI and USB port allowing you to connect mobile devices or compatible screens. OPTIONAL DUAL-OPERATOR CONTROL Fly with a friend and share your vision. Achieve shots that never would have been possible alone by using two remote controllers. One person flies, while the other controls the camera. EASY, SAFE FLIGHT Even if you’ve never flown before, taking off and landing your  DJI Inspire 1 is easy and safe. It takes just one tap to make your Inspire 1 takeoff and transform, ready to start filming. Then tap again to have it transform into landing mode and land. When GPS is available, the Home Point (the location you are standing) automatically refreshes, so your Inspire 1 always knows where you are even if you move around. When you tell it to come back, or in the case of an emergency, it knows exactly where to go and land safely. FULL-FEATURED APP Take complete control of your camera and flight system with a comprehensive mobile app. Everything from manual camera controls to flight telemetry and even auto takeoff and landing is just a tap away, with more functions and updates coming soon.
