Leaked DJI Inspire 3 photos show a crashed prototype drone
Check out these leaked photos of the DJI Inspire 3. As you can see, the drone is severely damaged with a broken leg, making it officially a News story for the category “Breaking News,” as OsitaLV quipped.
The photos of the damaged DJI Inspire 3 prototype drone were first leaked by DealsDrone and later shared by OsitaLV.
While these photos show a damaged drone, they are still significant as they are the first actual proof of a DJI Inspire 3 drone in development and testing.
Based on the images, it appears that this is a new Inspire model. However, the old carbon-fiber arm construction has remained.
It appears that the new DJI Inspire 3 will be built on an H-shaped frame with retractable landing gear like its predecessor.
The foldable propellers are new. A new sensor for locating the drone beneath its wings has also been added.
Sadly, the location of the drone is unknown. It's possible that it was a test model of the drone that crashed in a Chinese city, after which the finder captured photographs.
Camera on the DJI Inspire 3
Unfortunately, the camera module was destroyed in the accident. However, it's possible that the Inspire 3 can be used with Zenmuse X9 technology, which DJI first unveiled late last year with the Ronin 4D gimbal.
A full-frame camera with which 8K 50 fps ProRes RAW video is now possible.
Earlier rumors from DealsDrone indicate that the DJI Inspire 3 might hit the market in September of this year.
This might well make sense because the DJI Inspire 2 was officially discontinued in February of this year.
