DJI Inspire 1 (model T600) is a transforming, ready‑to‑fly quadcopter built for professional aerial cinematography. It combines a 3‑axis detachable Zenmuse X3 4K/12MP camera, integrated DJI Lightbridge HD downlink, dual‑operator control, and a Vision Positioning System for stable indoor flight when GPS is unavailable. The carbon‑fiber arms lift during flight to give the gimbal an unobstructed 360° view, bringing pro‑grade imaging and reliable operation together in one platform.

Selling Points

  • Transforming airframe with retractable landing gear enables a full, unobstructed 360° gimbal view for cinematic shots.

  • Integrated 3‑axis gimbal and 4K/12MP camera deliver stabilized, ready‑to‑edit footage out of the box.
    (www-v1.dji.com)
  • Lightbridge HD downlink provides low‑latency 720p monitoring and long‑range control.
    (www-v1.dji.com)
  • Dual‑operator capability lets a pilot and camera operator work independently for complex sequences.
    (www-v1.dji.com)
  • Vision Positioning System maintains stable hovering and control indoors or where GPS is weak.

Drawbacks

  • Flight endurance around 18 minutes per standard battery requires multiple packs for longer shoots.
    (www-v1.dji.com)
  • 4K recording is limited to 60 Mbps H.264, below the bitrates/codecs of newer cinema‑focused platforms.
    (www-v1.dji.com)
  • Large airframe and ≈3 kg takeoff weight reduce portability versus modern folding drones.
    (dji.com)
  • No multi‑direction obstacle sensing listed; relies on pilot awareness and VPS near the ground.
