X9-8K Air supports dual native ISO. At full-frame 30fps and below, it offers EI 800/4000, supporting the 24fps commonly seen in film productions and the 25fps used in commercial and television productions. At above 30fps, EI 320/1600 is available.

X9-8K Air covers 14+ stops of dynamic range, which captures rich highlight and shadow details in complex lighting scenarios like sunrises and sunsets. High dynamic range brings more possibilities for post-editing, retaining genuine colours even after significant exposure adjustments.

Inheriting DJI’s proprietary DL mount, X9-8K Air is compatible with an additional 18 mm F2.8 full-frame ultra-wide lens and a new telephoto lens (will be released at a later date) [12] on top of the previous full-frame lens selections of DL 24/35/50 mm F2.8. All five lenses are custom-made for aerial cinematography. The housings are made of lightweight, monocoque carbon fiber, so the lightest lens weighs just 178 g, meeting Inspire 3's requirement for ultra-high maneuverability.

Building on DJI's mature colour science and technology, the DJI Cinema Colour System allows the X9-8K Air to retain authentic colours that redefine the look of aerial cinematography. This applies to natural settings and urban landscapes, and also accurately captures skin tones in different environments and lighting conditions. DCCS ensures effortless colour matching between X9-8K Air and ground-based cinema cameras such as DJI Ronin 4D.

Inspire 3 comes with a professional-level remote controller, the DJI RC Plus, which has a built-in 7-inch 1,200-nit high-bright screen to provide an extraordinary outdoor monitoring experience. It also features an HDMI out port, along with several buttons and dials on the front, back, and top, which enable fast and intuitive operation. Button functions can also be customised to fit users' habits and deliver a more smooth operating experience.

Professional accessories such as a strap and waist support are also included for more comfortable and efficient long-duration use.

• Max Video Transmission Range (Single Control): 15 km
• Max Video Transmission Range (Dual Control): 12 km
• Max Live Feed Frame Rate: 1080p/60fps
• Max Live Feed Resolution: 4K/30fps

Compared with its predecessor, the dual-control experience of Inspire 3 has been significantly upgraded. Two remote controllers can receive live feeds and control the drone independently, so the pilot and gimbal operator can be at different positions on set. This breaks Inspire 2's limitations of binding the primary and secondary control links.

Inspire 3 is equipped with a new TB51 dual-battery system, which utilises the latest battery chemistry technology for optimised reliability and performance.

TB51 batteries are smaller, lighter, more streamlined, and higher voltage compared to TB50. They provide a 28-minute max flight time [2] and support hot swapping with a redesigned battery release that allows effortless continuous operation.

The all-new foldable battery charging hub strikes the optimum balance between charging efficiency and storage sise. It can accommodate eight batteries. In Fast mode, it can charge two batteries to 90% in just 35 minutes [21] and eight batteries to 100% in only 160 minutes. [21] The included 65W USB-C port can also be used to charge an RC Plus.

The included DJI PROSSD 1TB supports a max read speed of 900MBps [22] and the footage can be read on a computer directly through the provided USB-C to USB-C cable without the need for a card reader.

The newly designed trolley case is equipped with an extendable handle, two side handles, and four 360-degree-movement wheels, making transitions and transportation effortless. Additionally, two numbered locks are equipped for added safety. The well-designed trolley case can store one aircraft, one X9-8K Air gimbal camera, two RC Plus remote controllers, four lenses, twelve batteries, two battery charging hubs, three propeller sets, and more.

Inspire 3 integrates high-precision RTK positioning technology used in industries such as architecture and surveying to deliver centimetre-level accuracy. [4] Compared with traditional meter-level positioning supported by Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), RTK not only makes flying more stable, but also makes flight-route planning more accurate, significantly improving creative efficiency.

Specially designed for aerial cinematography, Waypoint Pro enables flight-route and shot planning with a wide range of customised settings. With the new Repeatable Routes and 3D Dolly modes, an innovative automated shooting experience can be easily achieved. In addition, RTK centimetre-level positioning ensures more accurate flight-route planning and execution. Whether solo shooting or in a professional crew, use Waypoint Pro to master even highly-complex scenes.

Inspire 3 is equipped with nine sensors, which enable a robust omnidirectional sensing system that can detect obstacles in all directions and provide comprehensive protection for flying. [7]

For the first time, a fisheye camera has been added to each of the four landing arms. This design helps to avoid obstruction from the airframe when the landing gear is raised and allows for horizontal obstacle sensing when the landing gear is lowered.

Inspire 3 is equipped with a new 1/1.8-inch-sensor FPV camera with a 3μm pixel size, an ultra-wide DFOV of 161°, and the ability to transmit live feeds at up to 1080p/60fps. Compared to its predecessor, the DFOV is approximately doubled.
