Badass Camera Drone DJI Inspire 1 - CES 2015

This video provides an in-depth look at the DJI Inspire 1 drone as showcased at the CES 2015 DJI Booth. The device features a three-axis gimbal mounted to the drone, capable of 60 mph flight speed and a legal ceiling of 400 feet. The camera specifications are highlighted, including a 12 megapixel sensor, 4K video capture at 24 to 30 frames per second, and 1080p at 24 to 60 fps, all on a 5.5 inch sensor with a 94 degree wide angle lens and a fixed f-stop of 2.8. The Inspire 1 uses a lightweight carbon fiber chassis with deployable landing gear that retracts for unobstructed aerial shots, and it relies on GPS and a bottom-mounted visual positioning system to keep stable hover. Flight time is advertised up to 18 minutes, with a sophisticated communication link through DJI LightBridge at 2.4 GHz enabling dual operator control, live telemetry, and a dynamic home point for reliable return to home functionality. The video notes the price at $2,890 and cautions that this is not intended for amateur operators, suggesting that an experienced pilot can achieve high quality aerial footage at a lower overall cost with other options. Concluding remarks invite viewers to subscribe for more CES content and acknowledge sponsors, hinting at future coverage and accessory reviews, including protection products and potential giveaways.
