Until recently there has really only been 1 good source for getting hand catch handles for your Inspire 1 or Inspire 2. With the introduction of the DJI Handle Grips we thought we would do a side by side review to outline the differences to help pilots decide which ones they might like better.

Size and Weight

The DJI handles provide a much larger area to grab on to. The size difference is fairly substantial. Depending on your use, you may prefer this (their description indicates their intended use of making the Inspire 2 a handheld camera). The size comes with additional weight. Between the handle and the clamp the total weight is 74 grams.

At 31 grams, the Secraft handle is less than half the weight. The handle itself is much smaller - designed more for a quick take off or landing and probably not as comfortable for carrying around the Inspire 2 all day.

Design

Both DJI and Secraft use a concept that keeps a clamp on the frame at all times and you attach the actual handle only when you intend to use them. While we like the concept of DJI’s quick release (much like the gimbal attachment) it seems to rattle - similar to a red prop - but we think that can be fixed with a rubber O-ring or something similar. Again, the Secraft clamp is smaller and lighter and the handle quickly and easily threads onto the clamp.

Pricing and Availability

The DJI handles are priced at $139 and the Secraft handles are $44. Both are in stock and available for immediate shipping at www.FloridaDroneSupply.com

Attached are photos of the components both on and off the aircraft.

Note: The DJI version only fits an Inspire 2 while the Secraft version fits both Inspire 1 and Inspire 2.
