Skyset Cinema's DJI Inspire 3 in flight with the Zenmuse X9-8K Air camera

DJI Inspire 3 · Zenmuse X9-8K Air · Dual operation

DJI Inspire 3
with operator.

We don't hire out the drone on its own: it comes with a pilot, camera operator and DIT, plus permits and insurance. It's the only way the Inspire 3 performs like a cinema camera rather than just another drone.

What the day includes

Aircraft, camera
and two people.

The Inspire 3 is designed for dual operation: one pilots, the other composes. With a single person you lose half of what the camera can give. That's why the day always includes the full crew.

videocam

Aircraft and camera

DJI Inspire 3 with Zenmuse X9-8K Air: full-frame sensor, 8K ProRes RAW up to 75 fps, CinemaDNG and interchangeable optics chosen with the DP according to the shot.

groups

Dual operation

A UAS pilot in command of the aircraft and a camera operator controlling gimbal, focus and exposure. Each in their own role, as on a crane or a remote head.

storage

DIT on set

Download, verification and backup copies during the day, with a footage report. The DP sees the footage before the unit leaves.

battery_charging_full

Batteries and logistics

Batteries for the whole day with rotation and charging on set, radios, transport cases and a vehicle. No downtime for battery life.

Permits and insurance

AESA-registered operator, aviation liability insurance and permit processing by type of location, including controlled airspace.

Live video feed to the director's or village monitor. The director sees the aerial framing while shooting, not afterwards.

On set
When it makes sense

The Inspire 3 is the camera
by default.

For almost everything that doesn't call for an FPV, the Inspire 3 is the answer: capture quality, stability and a workflow post houses already know.

01

Film and series

True RAW for grading, interchangeable optics and stable shots. The footage goes straight into the main unit's pipeline with no rescaling.

02

Advertising and automotive

Clean tracking shots at cinematic speed, high angles and top-down shots. Radio comms with the driver and the ground unit.

03

Documentary and landscape

Establishing shots, long tracking shots and aerial footage matching the colour grade of the rest of the piece. Up to 28 minutes of flight time per battery.

04

Double unit

Two Inspire 3s with double crew to run two aerial cameras at once or cover two locations on the same day.

FAQ

What we're
asked.

Do you hire out the Inspire 3 without an operator?add

No. It always comes with a pilot and camera operator: for safety, because the permits and insurance are tied to the registered operator, and because the camera performs far better in dual operation.

What format do you deliver the footage in?add

Apple ProRes RAW, CinemaDNG or ProRes 422 HQ, in D-Log, depending on what your post house needs. It goes straight into DaVinci Resolve or Baselight.

What are the Inspire 3's specifications?add

Full-frame Zenmuse X9-8K Air camera, 8K ProRes RAW up to 75 fps, up to 28 minutes of flight time per battery, a top speed of 94 km/h and DJI-certified operation between -20°C and 40°C, with wind resistance of 12 m/s on take-off and 14 m/s in flight.

How much does the day cost?add

The standard day, the extra hour and the supplements are listed in the 2026 rate card, which we send with the quote on request. Permits are quoted separately by type of location.

Can you bring two Inspire 3s?add

Yes. A double unit with double crew, coordinated with each other and with the DP, for two simultaneous aerial cameras or two locations in parallel.

How much does it cost to hire an Inspire 3 with operator for a day?add

The day rate includes aircraft, pilot, camera operator, batteries and DIT; permits are quoted separately. We send the 2026 rate card with the quote, on request.

How do you organise transporting the Inspire 3 to the shoot?add

We organise transport for the aircraft and crew according to dates, access and locations. The quote sets out the logistics before the day is confirmed.
