The lens housings are constructed of lightweight, monocoque carbon fibre. The lightest lens weighs just 178g, meeting Inspire 3's requirement for ultra-high manoeuvrability.


High-Mobility Precision Flight System

Benefit from centimetre-level RTK positioning

DJI Inspire 3 integrates high-precision RTK positioning technology used in industries such as architecture and surveying to deliver centimetre-level accuracy.

This makes flying more stable and increases the accuracy of flight-route planning.

RTK antennas are built into the airframe, enabling three types of GNSS (GPS, BeiDou, and Galileo) and delivering dual-frequency positioning down to the centimetre level.

Activate an RTK network or set up a DJI D-RTK 2 Mobile Station (sold separately) to achieve highly-accurate positioning without mounting any additional modules.

The Inspire 3 also has dual-antenna orientation, providing powerful anti-magnetic interference capability to further improve flight accuracy and safety.



Advanced Safety Systems

Upgraded Flight Safety Features

Inspire 3 is equipped with nine sensors, which enable a robust omnidirectional sensing system that can detect obstacles in all directions and provide comprehensive protection for flying.

Fisheye Camera: For the first time, a fisheye camera has been added to each of the four landing arms. This design helps to avoid obstruction from the airframe when the landing gear is raised and allows for horizontal obstacle sensing when the landing gear is lowered.

Customisable Obstacle Sensing: Horizontal, upward, and downward obstacle sensing can be enabled or disabled independently, and an obstacle alert range can be manually set to suit different scenarios.

Ultra-Wide Night-Vision FPV Camera: Inspire 3 is equipped with a new 1/1.8-inch-sensor FPV camera with a 3μm pixel size, an ultra-wide DFOV of 161° (double the size of the Inspire 2) and the ability to transmit live feeds at up to 1080p/60fps. It enables pilots to observe their surroundings vividly and clearly, even at night, and ensure greater levels of flight safety.
