INSPIRE 1 [PRO) 

Quick Start Guide 

Vl.O 
INSPIRE 1 PRO 

The Inspire 1 Pro Is a professional aerial filmmaking and pho1ography platform that is ready to fly right out of the box. 

Featuring an onboard camera equipped with a 15mm f/1, 7 (35 mm fonmat equivalent 30 mm) lens and 3-axis stabilized 

gimbal, it shoots sharp 16mp stills and stable video at up to 4K. Its retractable landing gear pulls up out of view, giving 

the camera an unobstructed 360 degree view of the world below. 

An advanced flight controller makes the Inspire 1 Pro stable, safe and easy to fly indoors or out. The brand new Vision 

Positioning System (VPS) gives it the power to hover in position at low altituctes even without GPS. Like all DJI flight 

controllers, It is also able to return home if remote controller signal is lost or if the low battery warning is triggered. 

The Inspire 1 Pro boasts a maximum flight speed 18m/s' and a maximum mght time of 15 minutes' using one fully charged 

4500mAh Intelligent Flight Battery.

Remote Controller 

The maximum transmission distance of the inspire 1 Pro remote controller is 2km". The remote controller also allows you to 

control the landing geer or actvate Retum to Home with a tap. Other buttons allow Instant photo capture, video recording, 

picture review and gimbal control. 

A DJI Ughtbrldge-based HD video downlink Is built-in, letting you see what your camera sees on your mobile device in 

real time HD. The app also allows you to change camera settings and activate Master/Slave mode so that one person 

can fly while other controls the gimbal independently. The master and slave controllers communicate using a 5.8Ghz 

wireless signal, and have a communication range with each other of up to 50 meters. The controller's LiPo battery has 

a maximum run time of approximately four hours and can be charged by plugging directly into the controller.

A • Be very careful when flying ~ 4,700 teet (4,500 meters) or more above aea leV$1 as the battery and aircraft performance may be reducecL 

,& •The lnsplr$1 Pro's compass and GPS wm not woti< in Polar Regions. The aircraft wiU auto switch to ATn Mode and use the VPS for positloning. 

• Calibrating the Compass: 

Make sure to caibrate the compass in every new flight location. The compass Is very sensitive to electromagnetic Interference, 

which can cause abnormal compass data leading to poor flight performance or even filJiure. Regular caibration is recuired for 

optimum performance. 

• DO NOT caibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference, such as magnetite, parking 

structures, and steel reinforcements underground. 

• DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials wfih you during caibration such as keys or cellular phones. 

• DO NOT calbrate beside massive metal objects. 

• ~ It Is blinking red and yellow altemately after placing the aircraft on the ground, the compass has detected magnetic 

Interference. Change your location. 

• P Mode: 

In this mode, the lnspre 1 Pro has a strong GPS sgna and can use 

the VPS allowing It to hover accurately In posmon Indoors and out. 

~ outdoors, 1hls mode also means that a Home Point has been 

locked so that ~ can Return to Home ff the control signal Is lost. 

If you are not In this mode, toggle the Flight Mode 

Switch to P position to enable it. 

The Flight Mode Switch is locked in P mode by default. 

Refer to the User Manual on how to unlock the switch. 

There are three states in P mode. 

P·GPS: GPS works best when outdoors In a wide open area, and 

your Inspire 1 Pro uses GPS to hover in place when the GPS 

signal Is strong. P·OPTI: If GPS Is not available, the aircraft can 

use the VPS to hover accurately. P·ATII: Neltiher GPS or VPS 

available, aircraft Is using only its barometer for positioning, so only 

altitude Is controlled. Note that the VPS may not work propeny 

when 1he Inspire 1 Pro is flying CNer water, over surfaces wilhout a 

clear pattern, or In a low light environment.

• Return to Home: 

When the GPS signal Is strong, the aircraft will be 

able to record a Home Point and return to the Home 

Point when needed. The GPS location Is recorded 

when the GPS signal icon In the DJI GO app Is either 

yellow or green. 

The aircraft will ratum to 1he Home Point automatlcaly In 

the foDowing cases (all recuire a strong GPS signal). 

Smart RTH: When you press the RTH button on the 

remote controller or In the App. Low Battery RTH: The 

DJI GO app not~es users to take action when the 

battery level falls to a spacilied threshold. 

Failsafe RTH: When the remote controller signal Is lost. 

• The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles during the Failsafe RTH, but user can regain control of the aircraft when signal transmission Is resumed; 

therefore it is important to set an appropriate Failsafe i!ltib.Jde before each flight Be sure fly higher than any tall buildings to avoid crashing.
