The original Inspire broke ground by having a RTF (ready to fly) platform that effortlessly provided dual operator. There was no need for complicated video transmitting and receiving installations or monitor problems. Dual operator was at your fingertips, built right into the DJI Go App.
But what it lacked was a “true” dual operator setup. For dual operator to be entirely effective, it requires two cameras. One for the filming camera, and a FPV camera for the pilot. Right now, Inspire pilots can usually get away with the single camera system by flying with confident line of sight, or wide open terrain and still allowing the camera operator full control. But any time that the flying gets a little hairy, then the single camera setup is almost pointless. It is pretty hard to fly though trees, around structures, or maintain good distance to your filming subject while your camera operator has full control.
It’s pretty certain that DJI left this critical feature out on purpose. It’s the same way Canon doesn’t make that one camera that does everything. They are creating a marketing strategy that has efficient longevity. We are fairly confident a FPV camera will be on the DJI Inspire 2 and can’t wait!
#1 on our Wishlist for the DJI Inspire 2 is a true dual operator setup.
