It looks the same but V2 has stronger motors, the new quick release props, X5 ready gimbal plate and a newer version of lightbridge. Rumors talk about differences in the remotes (more signal power) for the V2, others say that the "V1" is going sooner or later out of maintenance and is then not longer supported with firmware updates. Again, rumors.
You won't see much more range in a new inspire version due to restrictions around the world...
I can also travel with the 'toy' very easily, just today it sat next to me on a flight. For me it makes more outings than the inspire. I tend to use the 'toy' to do my first film, check out the hazards and best positions and then use the Inspire Pro afterwards since the X5 shoots way better in my opinion. If I could bolt the X5 on the Phantom when it would be Phantom all day long to be honest. I like the dual controller of the Inspire but have found in reality I just don't use it unless I find a good hover point and then use it for panning shots. I find the controller more accurate than the ipad. Id actually like all the controls on one controller ideally.Very sound advice. I'm not in it for the money . I had an Inspire and got sick of being harassed by onlookers many of whom complained about me flying even though I was within regulations. Sold the Inspire and bought a P3P and haven't had a single complaint and not many people stop - all because it looks like a "toy". Videos and photos are as good as the Inspire with X3
Whoever told you that doesn't have a clue how multirotors work and really does not know what they are talking about.
I find that hard to believe.
That's not true. The V1 can fly happily with the 300-400grams heavier weight . The V2 motors are only a tiny bit stronger. There's almost no difference. Slightly longer flight times maybe.
