Want To Graduate to Inspire

[jpalamaro]

I'm finding the camera limitations of the Phantom 4, and Pro V2.0 limited. I've briefly perused some of the threads and appears Zenmuse 5S (trying to save a bit of money, unless someone tells ms I must get the 7). My intent is to purchase the piece parts; a new Inspire 2 without controller and camera, as I have the Pro 2.0 controller and a CrystalSky 7.x Ultra which should support the Inspire 2. I've notices that purchasing the Zenmuse 5S/Gimbal separately I can use on inspire. IS THIS A DIY PROJECT? Also, there are some zoom lenses that can be used with the Zenmuse, understandably I'm quite sure they don't zoom in flight, but would be nice to have a 24-70, or thereabouts. Am I offbase with any of my aspirations?

RC that’s a negative good buddy.

Thanks, being relatively new, since the CrystalSky Ultra showed the Inspire 2 as an optional device on 'menu' I erroneously jumped to conclusion that the controller(s) were compatible. Truth is, there are a number of bundles available with controller that are not that much more money, considering the 'stuff' that comes with them. I'm thinking the Zenmuse 5 with a Lumix 14 - 42. Am I correct that the Zenmuse/Gimbal and lens attach are somewhat plug n' play, or do I need a strong DIY background to get this flying?
BTW, thanks for reply.

Your forum eh?

I've been following prices for used ones lately. You really don't save any money buying a system piece-wise. It's just handy that you don't have to spend $3k+ at once.
