DJI has today announced the long-awaited Inspire 3, six and a half years after the Inspire 2, and the specs are as high as we’d imagined.

“The Inspire 3 is the professional-level aerial platform all filmmakers have been waiting for,” says Ferdinand Wolf, DJI’s Creative Director, and that definitely seems to be the route the company is taking with it.
