INSPIRE 1 PRO 

The Inspire 1 Pro features the Zen muse X5 gimbal and camera equipped with a 15mm f/1 . 7 (35mm format equivalent 

30mm) Micro Four Thirds interchangeable lens. It shoots sharp 16MP stills and stable video at up to 4K. The aircraft's 

retractable landing gear pulls up out of view, giving the camera an unobstructed 360 degree view of the world below. 

Through the DJI GO app, the camera focus, shutter speed, aperture and ISO can be manually adjusted. The DJI Focus, 

a wireless follow focus system, can be linked to the remote controller of the Inspire 1 Pro for seamless and tactile camera 

control across the entire flight range. 

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

Positioning System (VPS) gives it the power to hover in position at low altitudes 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 flight time of 15 minutes* using one fully charged 

4500 mAh Intelligent Flight Battery.

' The maximum fiight speed and maximum run-time (hovering state) were tested in a lab environment, at zero-level elevation and in windless conditions, and 

should be taken as reference only. 
Remote Controller 

The maximum transmission distance of the Inspire 1 Pro remote controller is 16,400 feet (5 km)*. The built-in LiPo battery 

powers the device for up to four hours in between charges. 

An ergonomic design puts photo and video capturing, playback and gimbal control functions within comfortable reach, 

crucial when the aircraft is being operated. Important controls such as raising and lowering the landing gear and activating 

the Return-to-Home procedure can also be triggered with a tap of a button. 

The Lightbridge HD video downlink is integrated into the remote controller, allowing real-time camera footage to be 

displayed in the DJI GO app. Dual remote controller mode makes it possible for the aircraft and camera to be operated 

on two separate controls, which have a communication range of up to 50 meters.

• Be very careful when flying 14,700 feet (4,500 meters) or more above sea level as the battery and aircraft performance may be reduced. 

• The Inspire 1 Pro's compass and GPS will not work in Polar Regions. The aircraft will auto switch to A Til Mode and use the VPS for positioning. 

• Calibrating the Compass 

Ensure the compass is calibrated before every flight. Failure to do so may lead to unexpected flight behavior. 

• DO NOT attempt to calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference, including areas near 

massive metal objects, parking lots, underground steel reinforcements or under bridges. 

• DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials, such as keys and mobile phones, with you during compass calibration. 

• The compass should always be calibrated when moving from indoor spaces to outdoor spaces. 

• After successful calibration, the compass may become abnormal when you place the aircraft on the ground. This may be 

because of underground magnetic interference. Move the aircraft to another location and try again. 

• Positioning Systems (P-Mode) 

The aircraft uses GPS and a Vision Positioning System (VPS) 

to pinpoint its position and stabilize flight. It is strongly 

advised to fly in P-Mode which, depending on the GPS 

signal and aircraft altitude, has one of the following states: 

P-GPS: GPS and VPS are used for positioning. The aircraft 

can return home. 

P-OPTI: Only VPS is used for positioning(< 9.8 feet). The 

aircraft cannot return home. 

P-ATTI: GPS and VPS are not available. The aircraft can 

maintain balance but will drift from side to side. It cannot 

return home. 

Toggle the flight mode switch on the remote controller 

to 'P' and wait for a stable satellite count before takeoff. 

The effective altitude for the Vision Positioning System is 

below 9.8 feet. The Vision Positioning System will not work 

properly over surfaces that do not have pattern variations, 

over water or in low light conditions (< 100 lux). 

Return-to-Home 

GPS Positioning 

• Return-to-Home 

Vision Positioning 

Effective Altitude: 

,.-; 9.8feet 

It is important to take off with a strong GPS signal 

(green bars) to ensure that the Home Point is 

recorded by the aircraft. The aircraft will 

automatically return to the Home Point in the 

following cases. 

Smart RTH: The pilot presses the RTH button. 

Low Battery RTH: The battery level is low or 

critically low. 

Failsafe RTH: Remote controller signal is lost. 

• The aircraft will not avoid obstacles while it is returning to the Home Point, and an appropriate RTH altitude must be set before takeoff. You 

should also use the control sticks to guide the aircraft. Refer to the Safety Guidelines and Disclaimer for more details.
