New DJI Inspire 2. What do you think how is it good?

[Datsenko Alexey]

What do you think?
Prores, 5K. Is it good enough for movies and color correction and postproduction?

 

[Ned Wilson]

I've shot with the 5DR and the IQ is definitely good enough for movies or spots. Not for low light. The workflow was a nightmare. The new camera seems to address the workflow and add a couple more stops sensitivity.

Check out the movie they did make with it... aerials and ground shots all with Inspire 2 and X5S

There are several BTS videos of how they did what they did too on DJI's channel.

Actually looks amazing and very film look!

because of the kind of the people who worked on the film.

While that is true, as Red users we know that a RAW workflow does give tremendous flexibility for a more film-like treatment and grade of the footage, which the colorist who worked on this film said.

I'm really interested. Once the standalone attachment for the camera comes out, it should make a sweet B cam all around.

But actually interesting only with camera X5s, Raw, Prores, Cinema Dng.

It will be something if you could have the all module out --- camera, remote head, video transmission, radio focus.
And the expertise of the technical crew is over the regular short (even a really good one). Just look at the stunt man for the camera operators ...

 

[Alex Stolpakov]

Not even speaking S16 Helium "stunt" camera (probably 4k) with the same possibilities, and codec efficient and known .

I've shot with the X5s and it's quite good. It is by far the best camera DJI has ever released. It's still a small sensor, so it is not as good as my RED weapons, but for a compact aerial platform, it's pretty amazing. The IQ And latitude are very good and the footage coulee easily be edited in with RED footage in a piece without any issues. I've shot with their X5R camera for quite some time and though the image is good, the workflow has been extremely slow. Being able to record straight to ProRES 4444 or to Cinema DNG right on the SSD is a huge benefit in time savings.

It obviously will not replace flying a RED, but the flexibility and portability of the Inspire 2 vs an M600/Alta8 makes it an awesome tool to have in the kit.
