The DJI Inspire 2 is a professional drone used to film movies and television.  Due to rotor size and speed, it can handle much higher winds than most other small UAV’s.  A dual battery system prolongs the flight time to a maximum of 27 minutes, while self-heating technology allows it to fly even in low temperatures (-4°F) without the risk of sudden power loss.

It accelerates from 0 to 50 mph in just 5 seconds, hits a maximum speed of 58 mph, and has a max descent speed of 9m/s for unheard of speed and agility in an aircraft this size. Forward and downward vision systems enable the Inspire 2 to detect obstacles up to 30 meters ahead, allowing for protected flight at up to 34mph (54kph) at a controllable attitude angle of 25°. Upward facing infrared sensors scan obstacles 16ft (5m) above, adding protection when flying in enclosed spaces.

Equipped with an uprated Micro 4/3 sensor, the Zenmuse X5S has a dynamic range of 12.8 stops and supports up to eight standard M4/3 lenses The Zenmuse X5S was designed to keep pace with the rigors of high-end professional aerial imaging. The new CineCore 2.0 image processing system on the Inspire 2 makes the Zenmuse X5S capable of capturing 5.2K 30fps CinemaDNG video and Apple ProRes video as well as 4K 60fps using H.264 and 4K 30fps using H.265 (both at 100Mbps). Continuous DNG burst shooting at 20fps with 20.8MP images is also supported.

The Zenmuse X4S is a powerful camera featuring a 20 megapixel 1-inch sensor and a maximum ISO of 12,800.  The Zenmuse X4S uses a DJI-designed compact lens with low dispersion and low distortion 24mm equivalent prime lens.  Weighing in at a mere 258 grams, it is able to make the difficult balance between agility and image quality.

 

DJI Mavic 3

This has become the workhore of Kruse Altitude LLC lately.  Long battery life and amazing image quality in a very portable package.

  • 4/3 CMOS Hasselblad Camera
  • 46 Minutes of Flight Time
  • Omnidirectional Obstacle Sensing
  • 15km Max Transmission Range
  • Advanced Return to Home

The LUMIX G85 is the compact 4K video-enabled Micro Four Thirds Mirrorless (DSLM) camera with true-to-life photo image quality.  Newly developed in-body gyro sensor adds class-leading 5-axis body stabilization that when mated to LUMIX 2-axis optically stabilized lenses for a “Dual IS” effect, is worth nearly 5 f-stops in video and still capture.  4K Video recording at 30p/24p 100 Mbps plus a 3.5mm port for external microphones.

The combination of the DJI Ronin-SC stabilizing gimbal, and the Lumix G85, creates videos so smooth you’ll think someone was flying a drone inside.

Even in action-packed scenes, Ronin-SC gives a perfectly stable shot.
Sport mode improves the sensitivity of each axis while continuing to
maintain stabilization, making Ronin-SC more effective in fast follows,
sudden motions, and even complete changes in direction.

A first person view (FPV) drone is great for getting captivating video in small spaces.
