For the last 15 months I’ve been traveling the world with my Inspire 1. I’m a professional photographer/filmmaker specializing in Wildlife and Nature (examples at www.vimeo.com/fishtales). I’ve used the Inspire to film in many scenic locations. I primarily film ground level and Aerials amount to about 10% of my filming. Though I use the Inspire for about 10% of my filming, with all of its accessories it accounts for about 30% of the weight I’m carrying around the world. So I’ve decided that as much as I love the Inspire, I must downsize to something that is easier to carry for a solo shooter like me. In addition to all the original equipment, I have an almost brand new X5 camera with 15mm lens and the upgraded anti-vibration mount for the x5 (x3 works on it too). The Inspire has the leg extensions installed to give it sufficient ground clearance for the X5 camera. So essentially, it’s upgraded to an Inspire Pro. I have no problems or issues with the Inspire other than the fact that sometimes it’s fussy going into travel mode. It has great range, I’ve flown it out over 1.5 Km on numerous occasions. It was in to DJI for service about a year ago after a minor incident (actually stuck in an Acacia tree during a RTH). The X5 only has 5 flights. It is currently at DJI for service on a gimbal balance issue. It was actually working OK when powered up, but not balancing perfectly with the power off so I sent it back to get it corrected.
Here’s what’s on the block:
Inspire 1 with a single controller (purchased new Feb 2015)
X3 Camera
X5 Camera with 15mm f1.7 DJI lens
DJI vibration absorbing board for X5
2ea TB47 Batteries
2ea TB48 Batteries
All the normal little bits that come with the Inspire and the original case.
8 of the original spin on Carbon Fiber props and 7 of the twist lock props (I broke one)
Remote controller hoods for both iPhone (6 Plus) and iPad (9.7”)
Backpack for the Inspire, only used one time last week on the Great Wall of China, works great)
A GPS locator module (currently has a US T-Mobile SIM, but will work with any full size SIM)
Photos are available on request. The most recent film I have online that was made with the Inspire is: www.vimeo.com/fishtales/burma-sky. It’s 90% Inspire. I have over $5500 invested in the system. Will sell for $4850. I’m also open to a trade for a Phantom 4 + cash (amount of cash dependent on what is included with the P4). I’m really not interested in anything prior to a Phantom 4, so don’t ask.
