The Inspire 2 looks essentially the same as the first-gen model, but this time it's made from magnesium-aluminum alloy, which DJI says increases stiffness to help flying while reducing weight. The weight reduction is mainly just to increase battery life -- while it's easy enough to pick up, it's really designed to be transported in a flight case, probably in the back of a car. You might have noticed in the picture above that it has dual sensors in front for obstacle avoidance (there's a set on the bottom as well), but it also has infrared sensors on...
