Product description
Rent a DJI Inspire 3 to take your aerial cinematography to a genuinely cinematic level. This flagship drone system combines a fully integrated full-frame Zenmuse X9-8K Air camera with DJI’s RAW License, giving you access to high-end codecs and workflows normally reserved for large cinema rigs.
The DJI Inspire 3 is designed for professional film, commercial, and documentary work, offering 8K capture, advanced flight performance, and a production-ready feature set. With RTK positioning for centimetre-level accuracy (when paired with an RTK base or network), Waypoint Pro and 3D Dolly modes for repeatable complex moves, and full 360° gimbal rotation, it’s built for demanding sets where precision and reliability are non-negotiable. This DJI Inspire 3 rental is available for short and long-term bookings across Canada, making it ideal for one-off shoots, location-based productions, or projects where owning such a high-end system isn’t practical.
Note: This item does not include any lenses by default. Compatible lenses are rented separately and can be added to your order to suit your preferred focal lengths and shooting style.

Aerial performance and recording capabilities
The DJI Inspire 3 is built around the Zenmuse X9-8K Air camera, delivering exceptionally detailed footage suitable for high-end broadcast and cinema work. With the included RAW License, you can record in CinemaDNG and Apple ProRes RAW, unlocking a full cinema workflow with huge latitude in post-production. High-resolution capture, wide dynamic range, and sophisticated LOG/RAW options mean your aerial shots can be matched seamlessly with ground-based cinema cameras in the grade.
On the flight side, the Inspire 3 offers powerful motors, refined flight tuning, and low-latency transmission for confident operation, even in more challenging environments. RTK positioning (with compatible base or network) enables centimetre-level accuracy, which is invaluable for repeating moves, flying close to foreground elements, or working around sets and structures. Intelligent modes like Waypoint Pro and 3D Dolly let you programme and repeat complex flight paths and camera moves, saving time on set and ensuring continuity across takes and shooting days.
Why rent the DJI Inspire 3?
The DJI Inspire 3 is an ideal choice for productions that need genuinely cinematic aerial footage without compromise. This DJI Inspire 3 rental is perfectly suited to high-end commercials, premium branded content, nature documentaries, drama series, and feature films where image quality, precise repeatability, and flexible codecs all matter. The integrated design keeps the system streamlined on set, while the modular lens options and RAW recording modes give you creative control in both capture and post.
With dual-operator capability, 360° gimbal rotation, and advanced flight modes, the Inspire 3 works equally well for solo operators on simpler jobs and full crews on complex multi-camera shoots. Whether you’re capturing establishing shots over cities, dynamic chases, or slow, controlled moves over landscapes, it provides the stability, control, and image quality modern productions expect.

Q&A
Yes. This DJI Inspire 3 rental includes DJI’s RAW License, giving you access to both CinemaDNG and Apple ProRes RAW recording. That means you can capture true RAW footage for maximum flexibility in colour grading and finishing, matching the drone’s output to high-end cinema cameras in post.
This DJI Inspire 3 rental includes the airframe, Zenmuse X9-8K Air camera, and DJI RAW License as standard, along with core accessories such as batteries, chargers, and controllers as listed on the Included tab. Lenses are not included by default and must be rented separately, allowing you to choose the focal lengths that best suit your production.
Absolutely. With 8K RAW capabilities, high dynamic range, and a professional codec set, the DJI Inspire 3 is suitable for high-end broadcast, commercial, and feature-film work. Its image quality and workflow options make it a strong choice for productions aiming for premium delivery specifications or platform approval.
Yes. The DJI Inspire 3 weighs more than 250 g, so you must hold a valid drone pilot certificate issued by Transport Canada. A Basic Pilot Certificate may be enough for some operations, but flights in controlled airspace, near people, or in more complex environments will typically require an Advanced Certificate and appropriate permissions.
You can operate the DJI Inspire 3 as a solo pilot, controlling both the aircraft and camera from one controller for simpler jobs. For more complex shots or demanding moves, dual-operator mode allows one person to concentrate on flying while a second operator controls the gimbal and framing, giving your production far greater creative control.
