Sample still images?

JustinP2 · May 21, 2023

I know the inspire 3 is mainly a cinema rig but I am interested in the photo potential of that full frame sensor. Any sample photos (preferably raw .dng files) floating around to get an idea of the photo quality?

I would like to see them too!

I can post a few later. On my phone now.

Photo mode is really missing some basics. There is no bracketing. No option for hyperlapse. These really should be on a “pro” level drone.

I haven’t compared them yet but there is no indication of native iso in photo mode, so I’m not sure if 100 is best or something else. Nothing in the manual.

I received my Inspire 3 earlier this week. I have tested the camera with all four lenses and am very happy with the results! If you send me your email address to [email protected] I can send them your way. I'm also disappointed though that there is no automatic bracketing feature and have expressed this to DJI. I hope they add this via a firmware update sooner than later. Jim

Hi. Here are some photos from Alaska this weekend. Click Here to View
The light wasn't great as I was capturing the video first and just grabbed a couple.
We purchased the Inspire 3 on release and got it last week. We are loving it so far!

May I ask if you see any difference in IQ between the four lenses? I only got the 24mm and was wondering if some of the others is sharper.

The two most important "useful" lenses on the I3, the 18mm and the 50mm for me anyways

All of my lenses are sharp. If there's one that's slightly different it would be the 18 but the difference is hard to discern.

I use 50mm 90 percent of the time for the I3, the 18mm is really sharp. If you can only go with two lenses make it the 18mm and 50mm. We can sure use an 85mm 2.8 about now DJI

Here are two shots on the Inspire 3 from art in the Mojave Desert near Desert Hot Springs yesterday. They were shot at ISO 100. I did grade and crop them in Lightroom. The sun was overhead and the images were flat. FYI, Desert Hot Springs is the meth lab HQ in the Coachella Valley.

I use the 18 mm a lot. I like it to keep the aircraft closer to the work. I fly in the DC area mostly, and we do not get waivers for much over 100 feet. When I am outside DC, I find the 35 my best over all lens. The 75 mm is a very sharp crisp medium telephoto lens. I heard there is a 90mm in the works, and if you use super 35, you should get 135 mm from it, if the 1.5x lens length is accurate for the Super35.

Here is a Pano of the desert mountains. ISO 100, this has been graded.

The 18mm seems to have a bit of distortion and slight vignetting, nothing too bad, still a very crisp lens. I am working on a lens profile for it in Light room.
