    After images that appeared to show a potential follow-up to its Inspire drone leaked late in October, drone maker DJI appears ready to announce its next device this month. The company has sent invites to an event it's calling "Control/Create," which promises an "exciting, special announcement," and will be held in Los Angeles on November 15th.

    THE LAST INSPIRE WAS ANNOUNCED IN 2014

    As TechCrunch notes, the previous Inspire was announced almost exactly two years ago, and while mightily impressive for the time — offering high-quality video streaming and recording from the air — it's been largely superseded by models from competitors and DJI itself. The leaked image shows a device that looks similar to 2014's Inspire, albeit slightly smaller and sleeker.

    Given the technology present in DJI drones like the Phantom 4 and Mavic Pro, we can expect a potential Inspire 2 to be able to automatically avoid obstacles, as well as follow targetswhile streaming video. TechCrunch also speculates that it may allow users to switch cameras in and out, given DJI's range of gimbals and mounts, but we should find out more in just under two weeks.

      If you’re in the market for a high-end consumer drone and have some cash to splash, you might want to see what DJI has to say at an upcoming “special announcement” event on November 15.

      The company started sending out notices on Wednesday, with TechCrunch adamant the drone maker is about to reveal an all-new version of its top-of-the-range Inspire 1 drone.

      “Control/create,” it says on the invite for the LA event, both the wording and location apparently highlighting its continued determination to push the Inspire toward professional filmmakers as well as general consumers with a few bucks to spare.

      The original Inspire 1 was received with great enthusiasm when it launched in November 2014, and although it received a minor upgrade at the start of 2016, significant advances in drone technology have finally prompted DJI to revamp the machine.

      Expect major improvements on all fronts, including the addition of must-have features missing from the Inspire 1 such as obstacle avoidance capability, as seen with the company’s Phantom 4 bird and its new, foldable Mavic Pro model.

      The new Inspire drone could also be sleeker and a little smaller, but is expected to retain some of its distinctive features, including its awesome retractable landing gear that gives it a new shape in the air and greater flexibility for aerial filming.

      Whatever you do, though, don’t expect the new Inspire drone to come cheap – DJI’s current camera-equipped model starts at $2,000, topping out at a hefty $6,500 for the Inspire 1 RAW kit.

      Aimed at pro filmmakers who don’t have a Hollywood budget to burn, the Inspire is unlikely to be your debut drone. For some ideas on better-priced alternatives for newbies and experienced pilots alike, check out DT’s pick of some of the best drones currently on the market.

    The Inspire 1 was a revelation. The first filmmaking drone in the world to integrate an HD video transmission system, 360° rotating gimbal and a 4K camera,as well as the simplicity of app control. The launches of the Zenmuse X5 and X5R cameras further cemented the Inspire as a critical tool for filmmakers around the globe.

    The Inspire 2 takes everything that was good about the Inspire 1 and improves it. An all-new image processing system records at up to 5.2K in CinemaDNG RAW,Apple ProRes and more. It goes from 0 to 50mph (80kph) in just 4 seconds and hits a maximum speed of 67mph (108kph) and has a max descentspeed of 9m/s for unheard of speed and agility in an aircraft this size. A dual battery system prolongs the flight time to a maximum of 27 minutes (with an X4S),while self-heating technology allows it to fly even in low temperatures. FlightAutonomy has been revised and developed specifically for the Inspire 2,providing two directions of obstacle avoidance and sensor redundancy. Increased intelligence adds multiple intelligent flight modes, including Spotlight Pro, giving even singlepilots the ability to create complex, dramatic shots. An upgraded video transmission system is now capable of dual signal frequency and dual channel, streaming video froman onboard FPV camera and the main camera simultaneously, for better pilot and camera operator collaboration.
