DJI Inspire 2 Advanced Combo with Zenmuse X5S Camera CinemaDNG and Apple ProRes CP.IN.00000016.01

SENSE AND AVOID

The Inspire 2 features forward and downward vision systems that detect obstacles up to 30 meters away, enabling safe flight at speeds up to 34 mph (54 kph) with a maximum controllable tilt angle of 25°. Infrared sensors on top can detect obstacles up to 5 meters (16 feet) above, enhancing safety in confined environments. These obstacle detection systems are active during standard flight, Return-to-Home (RTH), and all Intelligent Flight Modes. They form a key part of the DJI FlightAutonomy system, which powers the following intelligent features:

SPOTLIGHT PRO

Spotlight Pro is an advanced tracking mode that allows a single pilot to capture complex and cinematic shots without needing a second operator. Using sophisticated visual tracking algorithms, it locks onto a subject and keeps it in frame even as the Inspire 2 changes direction. If the gimbal reaches its rotational limit, the drone will rotate to maintain tracking without disturbing flight control or the shot.

There are two modes:

• Quick Mode: Tap to select a subject and begin tracking immediately.

• Composition Mode: Choose both the subject and a desired tracking point. When the subject reaches this position, press a shortcut to start tracking. The gimbal remains controllable for fine-tuning composition.

Spotlight Pro works with all Intelligent Flight Modes, including ActiveTrack, TapFly, Waypoint, and Point of Interest.

INTELLIGENT FLIGHT MODES

Alongside Spotlight Pro, the Inspire 2 offers a variety of smart flight and camera modes. Obstacle detection is optimized in Point of Interest and Waypoint modes, making complex maneuvers repeatable and safer. Additional modes include QuickSpin, TapFly, and ActiveTrack, helping users capture challenging shots more easily.

SMART RETURN TO HOME

The Inspire 2 builds a live map of its flight path using its forward and downward vision systems. If the video signal is lost and Smart Return Home is active, the drone retraces its route until the signal is restored, at which point it switches to a direct return path. While returning, the primary camera scans for obstacles up to 200 meters ahead to ensure a safe flight home. The drone can also reestablish lost connections more rapidly.

VIDEO TRANSMISSION SYSTEM

The upgraded DJI Lightbridge system provides a transmission range of up to 4.3 miles (7 km)*, delivering both 1080p or 720p video along with a live FPV view to the pilot and camera operator. Users can switch between 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz** frequencies for more stable signal performance in noisy environments.

Master and Slave Controllers
A new HD wireless transmission system allows video from the master controller to be sent to a slave controller with no quality loss, even when they are up to 100 meters apart.

Broadcast Mode
Broadcasters can stream directly from the Inspire 2 using its built-in 1080i50 and 720p60 video output. Just connect the remote to a satellite truck for live aerial footage on TV.

*Range achieved in ideal conditions; FCC compliant.
**5.8GHz transmission may be restricted in some areas due to local regulations.

POWERFUL FLIGHT PERFORMANCE

With a re-engineered propulsion system, the Inspire 2 reaches speeds up to 67 mph (108 kph), descends at 9 m/s, and climbs at 6 m/s. It accelerates from 0 to 50 mph (80 kph) in just 4 seconds, with a maximum tilt angle of 40°. The controller sticks are finely tuned for increased sensitivity and precise control during complex maneuvers.

This enhanced power enables high-altitude flights up to 2500–5000 meters (with specialized propellers) and operations in cold temperatures as low as -4°F (-20°C) using self-heating Intelligent Flight Batteries.

INCREASED RELIABILITY

Key systems like the IMU and barometer now feature dual redundancy. The flight control system continuously monitors these backups, ensuring stable and accurate performance. Obstacle sensing further reduces collision risk.

The dual-battery setup ensures the aircraft can remain airborne and land safely if one battery fails. Additionally, the propulsion system supports signal redundancy; if the PWM signal fails, it switches to serial communication to maintain control.

This entire propulsion system has been rigorously tested over thousands of hours. When combined with core sensors and redundant systems, it provides the Inspire 2 with significantly improved flight reliability.
