    I was at the MSRA Picnic today as spotted this drone buzzing about. Is it something the news uses?
    It appeared quite large, and with a fair wind blowing it was rock solid stable. Not so with my camera but this was the best shot.[​IMG]

    Its a DJI Inspire 1. Have seen it flying at defcon 1 festival in The Netherlands, rock solid indeed!

    Super unit - definitely the high end of hobby drones - the new version with the mico 4/3rd cameras (not yet available) can hit 5K...or even more.
    This is the 4/3rd unit

    This is the regular Inspire

    The regular unit uses a similar camera to the Phantom 3 Pro - so you get 80% of the capability for 40% of the price!

    Pros and Cons...

    Inspire allows dual control - so you can have one pilot and one operating the camera!
    Inspire allows the camera to rotate 360 degrees without rotating the craft.

    Phantom is much smaller and easier to put in backpack and haul around
    Phantom is more stealthy - you won't get noticed as much (which is usually a good thing).
    Phantom costs much less.
