Before we get to what we know about the DJI Inspire 3, though, a quick refresher for those unfamiliar with the prosumer product line. The Inspire series launched in 2014 and delivered the first truly affordable professional cinematography drone to the open market.

Where you would otherwise have to build your own drone rig, and then attach your rather expensive cinema camera and fly it into the sky, DJI equipped the Inspire 1 with a built-in 3-axis gimbal capable of being flown by a single operator. It also came with dual controllers so a two-man crew could operate the flying of the drone and the position of the camera separately.

This led to the development of the DJI Inspire 2 and RAW variants with interchangeable lenses, making these the most advanced cinematography drones anyone could own and operate with a small crew or purely a solo operator.

Recently leaked images and videos were shared of the DJI Inspire 3 being tested in action.

Here is what we know so far.

DJI Inspire 3 will feature Super 35 or large format CMOS sensor and record 8K videos at 75fps, 6K at 100 and 4K at up to 200fps.

DJI Inspire 3 camera will feature no crop at every framerate with RAW 12 bit and have O4 video transmission with dual RC.

It will also feature omni-directional obstacle avoidance and high accuracy maneuvering with somatosensory gimbal controls.

It's common with each iteration of Inspire that DJI also announces a new Zenmuse camera that is sold with the Inspire series of professional drones. Specs have been leaked about the features DJI Inspire 3 camera and it could be the biggest game changer in the professional drone market for aerial filmmakers.

DJI Inspire 3 can use existing Zenmuse X9 camera and become be the best professional aerial drone on the market in 2023.

DJI is expecting to launch the Inspire 3 later this year.
