What you need to hire
The Inspire 2 goes out dry, so whoever flies it needs to be legal, insured and experienced on large drones.
- CAA Operator ID and Flyer ID
- GVC, plus an Operational Authorisation where the job needs one
- Experience flying the Inspire 2 or similar
- Drone insurance that covers hired-in equipment
- Photo ID, proof of address and a deposit
- Two industry references and our signed hire agreement
Rather have a crew?
Our crewed drone days include planning, permissions and a risk assessment. See our Inspire 3 drone operator page, or tell us the shot and we'll quote.
Need light, not a camera?
We also fly the Inspire 2 with a 24,750-lumen LED light. See drone lighting.
Good to know
Can I collect the drone? Yes, from Newquay in Cornwall. We can also deliver; ask for a price when you book.
Do the full-frame lenses work on the X7? Yes. The DJI DL 24, 35 and 50 mm set fits the X7. On its Super 35 sensor they frame tighter, so the 24, 35 and 50 mm act more like a 36, 52 and 75 mm on full frame.
Can I fly it dual operator? Yes. The kit comes with a Cendence remote and a standard remote, plus 2 iPads as monitors, so a pilot and camera operator can work together.
Do you hire other drones? Yes. The DJI Inspire 3 from £550 a day, the DJI Mavic 3 Pro Cine, Mavic 4 Pro and Mini 5 Pro from £95 a day, and the DJI Avata 2 FPV kit from £95 a day.
Can I hire for a week? Yes. Three-day and weekly rates are shown above.
