I have had my Inspire 1 since it was released and it has been extremely reliable and functional. This new one is drool worthy for sure but I do not think I will be getting it because my old one still works so good. If you need a professional level drone this has got to be the one to get, with so many improvements to the camera. Launch price is $2999 but if you want the premium one with a better camera (and priority shipping) be ready to shell out $5999.
The ability to go over 60 mph got my attention because with that kind of power you would really be able to operate in blasting winds. Not sure if that is why they gave it so much power or if it would be better in high winds but it can't hurt. The obstacle avoidance stuff is really good for people who are just getting started but I just can't see myself getting excited about that feature as an experienced pilot. The previous versions of the cameras were pretty amazing so hopefully the new versions will continue to push the boundaries of aerial imaging. I also hope they start discounting the cameras for the old Inspire 1 so I can pick one up on the cheap..! While this looks fantastic, I will be sticking with my soon to be vintage Inspire 1. I just don't need the new one and flying that money around in sketchy situations makes it way less fun.
