should i buy an inspire 2

dasko · Nov 12, 2017

Hi all,
so i had an INS1 and x5 and no longer have them, currently using the M600 with another x5 to do the job.
Most of my work is real estate and some surveying , also some thermal work with the XTR.

I would how ever like to get back to a smaller drone with a good camera so i can get in closer for some shots and have the avoidance tech to help me out.

i also like the better image ability.

from peoples experience is the X5S allot better then an X5 or a bit better ?

what are the thoughts out there ?
i was looking at the X7 but the lens cost is just BS from them.

thanks for your input..

An M600 and an X5 seem an odd combination to me. If an X5 were the right camera for me, I would keep my Inspire 1.

And if I wanted to upgrade teh camera, it would be to an X5S and an Inspire 2.

The X7 looks like it could be a fantastic camera, but the expense is difficult to swallow. $1,300 per lens is a lot, but the value depends on whether it compares to the $550 Canon EF-S/non-L lens or the $1,550 Canon L lens.

But unless you are doing cinema/TV work, I don't think the X7 is relevant. I would recommend the Inspire 2 with X5S if you can justify the cost, and and Inspire 1 with an X5 if you cannot.

I shoot real estate too, and my i2's have been good for this since I have had to use the 25mm on a few properties.

The x5s is a nice step up from the x5.

The M600 and the X5 makes for a wonderful setup. Besides the Inspire 2's and M200's we fly, we also use an M600 with an X5R, you certainly have to enjoy the 30 minute flight time. Like others have said the X5S is a nice step up in camera capability, nicer stills and more flexibility in video resolutions.

thanks for your replies , i went and tested one out today at riseabove and purchased 1 , plus X5S and 4 extra batteries making 5 sets.
When is there going to be a multi charging bank like M600 and the 4 bank ISP1 ?

I see your game. You ask a simple question to lure in unwitting volunteers then ask about the mythical "real" battery charger. Very clever, but it won't work. No one knows. Not even DJI I suspect.

What are you talking about? The M600 Hex (6 port) charger has been available for a while and can be purchased either direct from DJI or from authorised dealers.
It will simultaneously charge 6 batteries and is compatible with:
Inspire 1 Series Flight Battery (TB47/TB48)
Matrice 100 Flight Battery (TB47D/TB48D)
Matrice 600 Flight Battery (TB47S/TB48S)

These people claim they will have a multi charger for the Inspire 2 early 2018. Colorado Drone Chargers | Portable, Durable Drone Chargers
We purchased 3 of the blue multi chargers and have had 3 failures.

I'm talking about a DJI charger for the inspire 2 batteries that charges faster, and better, does deep cycling. A Pro charger. As far as I know (and I am willing to be dead wrong) this is still a product that is "coming soon" Am I wrong?

Cheers, Jon

Curious what lens you use most when shooting real estate:
Thanks

ringolong · Nov 20, 2017

15mm. I only use the 25mm when I have to shoot from across a busy road, or to capture nice backgrounds. Not often, but there are times.

Here is one that I shot with the 15mm

Very nice!
Check out a recent video we have just completed!

ringolong · Nov 20, 2017

Flyboymedia · Nov 21, 2017

Yes, 45mm. And yes it was a bit chilly that day. We shot it in mid October.
