Inspire...too much of a toy...can’t rack iris ...

[DougAles]

So, if most drone operators said they couldn’t get the shot with a DJI Inspire because that thing is too much of a toy...I’d think they were joking.

I don’t think this guy is joking

Calling it a toy because the camera won't do a smooth exposure-compensated iris rack doesn't seem even remotely reasonable.

It is a toy compared to the Alta with a Red dangling.... I think he wanted it shot with the red but was a little nervous of the small hole and limited space, so he used the i2 as a practice run, but knew it wouldn't make the cut.

I guess that's about as fair a statement as saying that a Honda Civic is a toy.

Compared to a Lamborghini, I would say it is....lol...

Well maybe, but that was my point - one typically would not categorize a vehicle as a toy just because one can buy more expensive and capable vehicles. Toy implies purely recreational. The Civic is clearly not that, and neither is the Inspire.

I got your point from the beginning. I am very envious of this guys "work tools" (and play toys). I don't own an I2 or a Freefly Alta 8, w. Red camera ($100K) nor do I own a Lamborghini.. In my eyes, my Mavic is a toy compared to an I2 and so on, and so on. That's all, and I think most would agree? who Knows?.

mrreddog, I encourage you to make the most of what you have.

I used my Mavic Pro, a GoPro, and a iPhone 6S as cameras then the free app iMove on my iPhone to make this video...

We live in amazing times.

I just went for a wander through the RCG I2 thread....man are they complaining in there!!! Not many happy I2 operators there!

My Inspire1 is a very dependable professional workhorse that can carry different payloads and is ready to go in minutes after arrival. Great for inspections with the Z3, mapping with X3 and cinematic with X5. Not to mention the different Infrared sensors that are available.
Professional enough for me at least. It served me for almost 3 years now and still makes me smile every time I see it fly.
