Reduces Top Speed Due To Concerns About Video Quality

DJI has reduced the top speed of its new Inspire 2 drone due to concerns about the quality of the video captured by the aircraft.

In a notice posted on its website, DJI said that when the drone was launched, the Inspire 2 drone was expected to accelerate to 50 mph in 4 seconds and reach a top speed of 67 mph.           

After further optimization and testing of various components of the craft, camera gimbal and propulsion system, DJI engineers have revised those specifications. The Inspire 2 is now expected to accelerate to 50 mph in 5 seconds and reach a top speed of 58 mph. These changes are necessary to ensure speed does not compromise video quality and stability.

"We believe the Inspire 2 is the world’s most powerful and versatile aerial platform for professional filmmakers and content creators," the company said. "However, we realize this small change in specifications may be significant to those who want to push their visions to the limit. Any customers who have pre-ordered an Inspire 2 but no longer wish to purchase one will be able to request a full refund from DJI and its authorized resellers. We will email all Inspire 2 customers to make them aware of this change and the refund process."
