Centimeter‑Level RTK
Positioning

Inspire 3 integrates high‑precision RTK positioning technology used in industries such as architecture and surveying to deliver centimeter‑level accuracy.^[4] Compared with traditional meter‑level positioning supported by Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), RTK not only makes flying more stable, but also makes flight‑route planning more accurate, significantly improving creative efficiency.

RTK antennas have been built into the airframe with a new stacked ceramic design, which enables three types of GNSS (GPS, BeiDou, and Galileo) and delivers dual‑frequency positioning down to the centimeter level. By activating an RTK network^[5] or setting up a D‑RTK 2 Mobile Station,^[6] users can achieve highly accurate positioning without mounting any additional modules.

Dual‑Antenna Orientation

Both the front and the rear of Inspire 3 have a built‑in stacked ceramic antenna, providing powerful anti‑magnetic‑interference capability to further improve flight accuracy and safety.

Waypoint Pro

Specially designed for aerial cinematography, Waypoint Pro enables flight‑route and shot planning with a wide range of customized settings. With the new Repeatable Routes and 3D Dolly modes, an innovative automated shooting experience can be easily achieved. In addition, RTK centimeter‑level positioning ensures more accurate flight‑route planning and execution. Whether solo shooting or in a professional crew, use Waypoint Pro to master even highly‑complex scenes.

Repeatable Routes

Using Repeatable Routes, the aircraft will automatically fly on the same route and maintain all preset parameters such as altitude, speed, gimbal angle, and camera settings. Repeating the same flight mission allows cinematographers to effortlessly perform difficult one‑takes, or to fly at different times in the same place to easily create long‑duration timelapses that capture transitions such as day to night or season to season.

3D Dolly

3D Dolly can simulate a crane, cablecam, or dolly on film sets while going far beyond the limitations of those devices.

After planning a flight route, the cinematographer can manually control the aircraft to move along the route back and forth while adjusting parameters such as speed, gimbal angle, and more according to the needs of the shot. This makes complicated cinema‑grade camera movements easier and more efficient and can deliver improved visual effects.

Spotlight Pro

Upgraded from Inspire 2, Spotlight Pro further enables solo creators with more shot possibilities. Based on powerful machine‑learning algorithms, Inspire 3 supports automated subject recognition and locking for people, vehicles, and boats with greater accuracy than its predecessor.

Customizable Obstacle Sensing

In addition, Inspire 3 features a new customizable function to help ensure greater flight safety and more creative freedom. Horizontal, upward, and downward obstacle sensing can be enabled or disabled independently, and an obstacle alert range can be manually set to suit different scenarios.^[8]

When active avoidance is turned off, users can still view the distance from an obstacle on the navigation display in real‑time and receive an audio alert when an obstacle is within a set range without the aircraft performing an automatic avoidance movement. This brings new possibilities to professional aerial teams that want to achieve more complex camera language.

Inspire 3 is equipped with a new 1/1.8‑inch‑sensor FPV camera with a 3μm pixel size, an ultra‑wide DFOV of 161°, and the ability to transmit live feeds at up to 1080p/60fps. Compared to its predecessor, the DFOV is approximately doubled. This FPV camera delivers more impressive light‑sensing capability, allowing pilots to observe their surroundings vividly and clearly, even at night, and ensure greater levels of flight safety.

Tailormade 8K Sensor

DJI’s lightest‑ever full‑frame three‑axis gimbal camera, the X9‑8K Air, is custom‑built for Inspire 3 to take drone cinematography to the next level. It features DJI’s latest image processing system, CineCore 3.0, supporting internal recording of up to 8K/25fps CinemaDNG video ^[9] as well as 8K/75fps ^[10] Apple ProRes RAW video, ^[9] meeting the needs of top‑class film and television productions.
