4k Camera with 360 degree revolving mount!
NICE IDEA!

Hi Guys,
Well haven't DJI been busy?!
The launch of the DJI Inspire certainly seems to promise some amazing opportunities for the film makers. Unfortunately for Australia, the weight rating puts it just outside CASA regulation with the proposed changes, meaning operators will still need to get their Remote Pilots Licence or OAC, which sucks the big one, big time!.
THE BRAND NEW UNIT FEATURES A 4k CAMERA & A BRAND NEW GIMBAL SYSTEM
DJI boast crystal clear images with their most advanced camera to date. I love the fact that the camera is detatchable, meaning it can be updated later. The gimbal holding the camera is the result of DJI’s years of expertise in camera stabilization, giving smooth, stable footage in any flight conditions.
• Video: 4K @ 24-30 fps, or 1080p @ 24-60fps,
• Photos: 12 Megapixels
• Lens: 9 elements in 9 groups including an aspherical element
• 1/2.3 inch CMOS sensor
• 94⁰ wide-angle FOV
• 3-axis, 360⁰ rotating gimbal
And it didnt take long! I see they have already hit EBAY US a $1000 under current reccomended retail pricing! Check out EBAY listings here!
LIVE HD VIEW
A 720p HD view shows exactly what your camera sees at all times which i a good feature.
This is made possible by an improved version of DJI's Lightbridge technology which can transmit video from up to 2km away.

INTELLIGENT POWER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
A fully integrated intelligent battery powers the Inspire 1 and virtually manages itself.
When in flight, remaining battery power is shown live, letting you know how long you can continue to fly. Advanced algorithms calculate the distance of your aircraft and estimated time to return home, letting you know when it’s time to fly back.
The battery reports the voltage of each cell, the total lifetime charges and discharges, and the overall health and battery status. All this helps you keep your Inspire 1 in the air. Certainly a welcome change from the Phantoms battery history!
MANUAL MODE
Change of camera settings, including ISO, White Balance, Exposure can be made on the fly!
LIVE MAP AND RADAR
See precisely where your Inspire 1 is at all times on the live map. The map can be enlarged when needed and shows the most recent flight path.
DYNAMIC HOME POINT
When GPS signal is available on the remote, the Home Point automatically refreshes. This becomes useful while traveling in a car or on a boat allowing the return-to-home point to move where the operator goes. Multiple configurations are available via the Dynamic Home Point function.
AUTO-TAKEOFF AND LANDING
Takeoff and landing is easier than ever before, with both functions just a tap away. Tap once to takeoff and your Inspire 1 will hover and transform, ready to start filming. Then tap again to make it transform into landing mode and auto land.
FLIGHT TELEMETRY
All of the information you need to fly safely is just a glance away. Altitude, flight speed, distance, and more are right at your fingertips.
REMOTE CONTROL CUSTOMIZATION
Put yourself in charge by tailoring the Inspire 1’s controls to your personal needs. This way, your Inspire 1 moves and responds in ways you’re most comfortable with.
EASY, SAFE FLIGHT
Even if you’ve never flown before, taking off and landing your Inspire 1 is easy and safe. It takes just one tap to make your Inspire 1 takeoff and transform, ready to start filming. Then tap again to have it transform into landing mode and land.
