This chapter describes the features of 

the Flight Controller, Vision Positioning 

System and the Intelligent Flight Battery. 
Aircraft 

The Inspire 1's flight controller Is based on DJI flight controller w~h several enhancements such as new 

flight mode and new safe mode. Three safe modes are available: Failsafe, Return Home and Dynamic 

Home Point. These features ensure the safe retum of your aircraft if the control signal is lost. A flight 

recorder stores crucial flight data for each flight. 

Three flight modes are available. The details of each flight mode are found in lhe section below: 

?. P mode (Positioning) : P mode works best when GPS signal is strong. There arelhree different states of P 

~ mode, which will be autumatically selected by lhe Inspire 1 depending on GPS signal strenglh and Vision 

= Positioning sensors: 

P-GPS: GPS and Vision Posilioning both are available, and lhe aircraft is using GPS for posiTioning. 

P~OPTI: Vision Positioning Is available but the GPS signal is not. Aircraft is using only Vision 

POiiitioning for hovering 

P~ATII: Neither GPS or Vision Positioning available, aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning, 

so only altitude is controlled. 

A mode (Atti11Jde): The GPS and Vision Positioning System is not used for holding posttion. The aircraft 

only uses its barometer to maintain altitude. ~ It is stilt receiving a GPS signal, the aircraft can automaticaJiy 

return home if the Remote Controller signal is lost and if the Home Point has been recorded successfully. 

F mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in lhis mode. For more information 

aboutiOC, refer to lhe IOC in Appendix. 

~ Use the Flight Controller made switch to change the flight mode of tlle aircraft, refer to the "Right 

Mode Switch" on P27 for more information.

that will tJ1gger RTH procedure; they are Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH and Failsafe RTH. 

Home Point 

SmartRTH 

The Home Point is 1he location at which your aircraft takes off 'When the 

GPS signal is strong. You can view the GPS signal strength through 

the GPS icon ( l\o~tll ). If you are using the Dynamic Home Point 

setllng, the Hanna Point will be updated to your current position as you 

move around and when the Aircraft Starus Indicator i 

Using the RTH button on the remote controller (refer to "RTH button" on P28 for more information) or the 

RTH button in the DJI Pilot app when GPS is available to enables smart RTH. The aircraft return to the 

latest recorded Home Point, you may control the aircraft's orientation to avoid collision during the Smart 

RTH. Press the Smart RTH button once to start the process, press the Smart RTH button again to exit

DJI Vision Positioning is a positioning system that uses ultrasonic and image data to help the aircraft 

Identify Its current position. With the help of Vision Positioning, your Inspire 1 can hover in place more 

precisely and fly Indoors or In other environments where there is no GPS signal available. The main 

components of DJI Vision Positioning am located on !he bottom of your Inspire 1, Including [1]two sonar 

sensors and[2]one monooular camera. 

Using Vision Positioning 

Vision Positioning is activated automatically when the Inspire 1 is powered on. No manual action is 

requirnd. Vision Positioning Is typically used in the Indoor environment whern no GPS is available. By 

using the sensors on the Vision Posh:ioning system, Inspire 1 can perform precision hovering even when 

no GPS Is available. 

16 @ 2.115 OJ I. All R1gl1ts R(1KIM";1, 
INSPIRE 1 User Manual 

Follow the steps below to use Vision Positioning; 

1. Toggle the switch to "P" as shown the figure to the nght: 

2. Place the Inspire 1 an a flat surtace. Notice that the Vision Posffioning system 

cannot work properly on surfaces without pattem variations. 

3. Power on the Inspire 1. The aircraft status indicator will flash twice in green light, 

which indicates the Vision Positioning system ls ready. Gently push the throttle up 

to lift off, and the Inspire 1 will hover In place. 

J:. The performance of your Inspire 1 's VIsion Positioning System is subject to the surtace you are 

flying r;Ner. The ultrasonic W8!Jes may not be alble to accurarely measure the distance over sound 

absorbing materials, and the camera may not function correctly in suboptimal environments. The 

aircraft will switch from "P" mode to "A" mode automatically if both GPS and Vision PosOioning 

System are not available. So operate the aircraft cautiously vvhen in any of 1he following situations: 

• Rylng over monochrome surtaces (e.g. pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green). 

• Rying over a highly reflective surlaces, 

• Rying at high speeds{over Bm's at2 meters or over 4m's at 1 meter). 

• Rying over water or transparent surfaces. 

• Rying over moving surfaces or objects. 

• Flying In an area where the lighting changes frequently or drastically. 

• Aying over extremely derk (lux < 1 0) or bright (lux > 1 0,000) surlaces. 

• Aying over surlaces that can abscrt:> scund waves (e.g. thick carpet). 

• Aying over surfaces without cleat pattems or texture. 

• Aying over surfaces with identical repeating pattems or textures {e.g. tiles with same design). 

• Rying over Inclined surfaces that will deflect scund waves away from the aircraft. 

• In the event of loss of remcte controller's signal, the aircraft will hover forB seconds and then 

auto-land if it is in "PH mode. 

i(l; • Keep the sensors clean at all times, Dirt or other debris may adversely affect the effectiveness 

of the sensors. 

• The effective hovering altitudes of the aircraft Is from 0 to 2.5 meters. 

• Vision Posffionlng system may not function properly when the aircraft Is flying over water, 

• Vision Posltioning system may not be able to recognize pattem on the ground in low light 

conditions (less than 101Jiux). 

• Do not use other ultrasonic devices with frequency of 40 KHz when Ylsion Positioning system is 

in operation. 

• Vision Posltioning system may not be able to stabilize the aircraft when flying close to the 

ground (below 0.5 meters) in faat speed. 

0 Keep the animals away from the aircraft when Vision Posmoning system is activated. The saner 

sensor emits that Is only audible to scme animals. 

Flight data is automatically stored in 1he intemal storage device of the aircraft. User can gain access to 

these data lllrough the DJI Pilot app, This includes flight duration, orientation, distance, aircraft status 

information, speed, and other parameters.

Low TemperaiiJre Notice: 

1. The performance of the intelligent Flight Battery is significantly reduced when flying In a low 

temperature environments (those with air temperatures below 5°C). Ensure that the battery is fully 

charged and the cell voltage is at 4.35 V before each flight. 

2. Using the Intelligent Flight Battery in extremely low temperature environments (those with air 

temperatures below -10°C) is not recommended. When flying In environments wlth temperatures 

between 5'C end-tO'C, the Intelligent Flight Battery should be able to achieve the appropriate voltage 

levels (above 4.2 V), but o is recommended that you apply the Included insulation slicker to the bettery 

in order to prevent a rapid drop in temperatures. 

3. If the DJI Pilot app displays the "Critical Low Battery Level Warning" when flying in low temperaiiJre 

environments, stop flying end lend the aircraft Immediately. You will still be able to control the aircralt's 

movement when this waming is triggered. 

4, Store the Intelligent Flight Battery in a room temperature environment and ensure that its temperature 

exceeds 5'C before using ltln the low temperature environment. 

5. When using the Inspire 1 in a low temperature environment, begin by allowing the aircraft to hover at a 

low altitude, for approximately one minute, to heat the battery. 

6. To ensure optimum performance, keep the Intelligent Right Battery's core temperature above ZY'C 

when In use. 

& In cold environments, Insert the battery intc the battery compartment and allow the aircraft to 

warm up for approximately t-2 minutes before taking off. 

Checking the battery level 

The Battery Level Indicators display how much remaining power the battery has. When the battery is 

powered off, press the Power Buttcn once, The Battery Level Indicators will light up to display the cu~ent 

battery level. See below for details.

safely. EnSt.re that all flights are carried oiJIIn a sulla.ble rocatlon. 

1. Do not use 1he aircraft in severe weather conditions. These irclude wind speed exceeding 1om/s , 

snow, rain and smog . 

.2. Only fly in open areas. T.all buildings and steel structures may alfect the accuraCy of the on-bOard 

compass and GPS signal. 

3. Avoid from obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees or bodies of water. 

4. Minimize electromagnetic interference by nat flying in area with high levels of electromagneHsm, 

Including mctJNe phone base statioos or radio trlll\$mission towers. 

5. Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environment factor such as air density and temperature 

Be very carolul when ftying 14700 feet (4SOO m."lters) or room above sealevel as haltfl!Y and aircraft

AU No-Ay Zones are listed on the DJI official website at http:{/flysafe.dji.corrv'no--fly. No-Ry Zones are 

dMdect Into Airports and Restricted Areas. Airports Include major airports and flying fields where manned 

aircraft opEtt"&te at low altltuc:les. Restricted Areas Include borders be-\w$$1'1 countries or sensitive sites. 

The details of the No--Fly 201'1*> .;u-e explained below: 

Airport: 

(1) Airport No-fly Zones are oomprised of Takeoff Re&ricted Zones and Restricted-Altitude Zones. Each 

ZOile features circles of various size. 

(2) R1 depends on the size and shape of the airport, and 1$ <'II1 area arolfid the airport that is a Takeoff 

Restricted Zone, Inside of which taka-off and flight Is prevented. 

(3) From R1 to A1+ 1 nile arou1d the airport, !he flight altitUde is llrrlted on a 15 degree incline, starting at 

65 foot (20 meters) from the edge of airport and radlating outward. The tcrght altitude is limited to 1640 

feet (500 meters) at R1+1 mile. 

{4) 'Mlen the aircraft is within 320 feet (100 meters) of the No-Fly Zones, a waming JllliiS&~Qe will appear

Restricted Areas: 

(1) Restricted Areas do not have a flight aJtitudo restriction. JJ 

(2) R around the designatt~d Restricted Area is a Take-off Restricted area. Aircraft cannot takeoff within ~ 

this zone. The value of R varies deperdng on the definitiOn Of the Restricted Area.
