DJI Inspire 3: full-frame aerial cinema platform for professional productions

The DJI Inspire 3 is a professional aerial cinematography platform engineered for high-end film, television, and commercial production teams.

Designed for crews that require precise flight control, repeatable positioning, and uncompromised image quality, Inspire 3 integrates a full-frame 8K camera, RTK positioning, and a retractable airframe into a single cinema-ready system.

This platform supports demanding production environments where consistency, reliability, and creative flexibility are critical to success.

Core system highlights

• Zenmuse X9-8K Air full-frame camera supports professional cinema workflows.
• Records up to 8K video with high frame rate support.
• DJI Cinema Color System supports ACES-compatible color pipelines.
• Built-in RTK module enables centimeter-level positional accuracy.
• Retractable landing gear supports unobstructed 360-degree camera rotation.
• O3 Pro transmission supports long-range, low-latency video monitoring.
• Dual-operator control supports independent pilot and camera operation.
• Omnidirectional obstacle sensing supports safer flight during production.

Precision flight control and cinema-grade imaging architecture

At the core of Inspire 3 is the Zenmuse X9-8K Air full-frame camera, supporting up to 8K video capture and high-resolution still photography. The DJI Cinema Color System enables consistent color reproduction and ACES-compatible workflows for professional post-production pipelines.

A retractable landing gear design paired with a 360-degree gimbal allows unobstructed camera movement, while dual-operator control enables independent piloting and camera operation for complex cinematic shots.

Engineered for repeatable production workflows and demanding environments

Inspire 3 features a built-in dual-antenna RTK module supporting centimeter-level positioning accuracy, enabling repeatable flight paths and precise camera blocking. The O3 Pro transmission system delivers long-range, low-latency video monitoring for on-set framing and coordination.

Omnidirectional obstacle sensing and a high-performance propulsion system support confident operation during complex aerial maneuvers, even in dynamic outdoor production environments.
