Guess I’m still the only one that flys the inspire series- I have had my I1 since released 2014 I bought it for myself as a Xmas give but didn’t go under the tree couldn’t wait to fly - today it still my goto for cinematic footage - I want the 3 but they need to drop the price before I buy into that - it seems like every drone Dji releases the prices climb , my photography work I do doesn’t need to upgrade to anything cause between the I1 with the x3 or x5 I got it covered

DJI Inspire 1 Drones
I know you mentioned that they do great for photography. But they are a bit bulky. And yes, every drone DJI is releasing, the price is higher than previous model. Marketing.
They are but when I pull that case out of my truck people with drones land an stand back an watch an most put there drones away - if I pull up to a job the client knows I am ready to conquer any job small big or huge they give me I get it and they are floored over the drone I have - cause I have 1 client she sends me all her work an tells her friends about me if you showed up with a mini or a air most clients I do work for send me packing - even if I try to explain the camera is ok - there is a lady here that used to have the mavic 3 but inexperienced pilot lands her drone in ocean - I fly over water daily - I have done work with local fisheries here chasing shrimp boats they love the inspire over anything else - I guess Im just a old school guy an still like the older bigger drones I can see them from a good distance an don’t need a VLOS guy - I only used VLOS guys when I’m doing over a acre of land with cell phone or walkie-talkie to be in contact with him while I’m flying - here in the us hurricane season is a big money make on the eastern seaboard that’s when the inspire becomes my work horse - couple of pictures from flagship inspire

I do agree about turning up on a job with mini drone. They would probably look at you weird, and saying that you don't know what you are doing. Yes, the newer drone example mavic series or even air series, they drop provide good image and video quality.
The images you have shared, are amazing, I guess you have edited them?
Are you always getting work with your inspire drone?
I do edit some but most are right from the drone I use filters an change them as the sun moves to
assure I’m always getting the right amount of light in my sensor- I have been a photographer since 1982 - yes my inspire is my work horse of my fleet I do a lot of real estate photography an insurance company work with it cause it’s fast and can fly in 25 mph wind with out a drop in my altitude
Do share some images here please:
That's a long way for doing photography. I'm sure you've learned everything related to photography.
Here in UK, never seen anyone with inspire drones, maybe because these are used by only professionals on certain jobs. Most of times I can see people flying only mini, air or mavic drones.
