It looks like the years-long wait for the Inspire 3 drone will soon be over. DJI has dropped a new product launch teaser, promising to deliver “Inspiration” on April 13, 2023, at 9 a.m. EDT.
New: DJI Inspire 3 drone is here: 15 things to know
It’s no secret that DJI’s professional aerial cinematography drone line is well due for a refresh. The iconic Inspire 2 was released way back in November 2016, with its production reportedly discontinued in early 2022 to allow resellers to clear the inventory. Several leaked images and rumors about the alleged Inspire 3 have popped up online in the meantime, fueling the user appetite for the next-generation cinema drone from DJI.

The tech giant also knows it has kept users waiting long enough as is. So, DJI has made no efforts to hide what product is up for release on April 13, like it typically does by sharing an obtuse or blacked-out image.
The Inspire 3 is right there in the teaser video for all to see, its instantly recognizable V-shape wings dropping the body below the landing structure so the camera gets a clear, unobstructed 360-degree view of what’s being filmed. The short clip ends with the drone coming back into its landing position with a loud, satisfying whoosh.

Inspire 3 is anticipated to be compatible with the full-frame 8K Zenmuse X9 gimbal camera that DJI announced with the Ronin 4D cinematography system. It is also expected to feature a larger, more durable single-axis FPV sensor for drone operators, delivering much better image quality, viewing angle, dynamic range, and low-light performance than what its predecessor has been offering.
Another improvement that the Inspire 3 is likely to sport is powerful high-def video transmission capabilities of around 15km, using the O3+ video transmission system or its more enhanced version.
Here are some of the latest images of the drone that leaker @Quadro_News has shared online:
